A: Integrative Health and Functional Medicine are holistic approaches to health and healing that focus on addressing the root causes of illness rather than just treating symptoms.

Integrative Health = Whole-person care that blends traditional and alternative therapies

Functional Medicine = Science-based, root-cause approach to chronic illness and dysfunction

Both prioritize you—your story, your symptoms, your lifestyle—and aim to empower healing naturally and sustainably.

A: Functional medicine labs are specialized diagnostic tests used in functional and integrative health practices to assess how well your body is functioning at a deeper, root-cause level—not just to diagnose disease.

Unlike conventional labs that often focus on identifying a specific illness or matching results to a standard range, functional medicine labs are more comprehensive and aim to detect imbalances, dysfunctions, and early-stage issues that may be contributing to symptoms before disease fully develops. All done at the comfort of your home rather than a doctor’s office or hospital.

A: The simple answer is:

Conventional labs ask: “Do you have a disease?”

Functional labs ask: “How is your body functioning, and what’s contributing to these symptoms?”
