What is the difference between the labs you run with your doctor 👨‍⚕️ and functional 🧪 labs? 
.
First off, your doctor is running diagnostic tests to see if you have an actual illness.😖
.
The focus is usually treating one specific area of the body with medication, pharmacology or potential surgery. 
.
When running traditional labs with your doctor, there is a gray space where many of us fall!😫
.
Where we have symptoms, we don't feel so hot, but we don't have a diagnosed condition. 
.
And when you fall into this gray area, where many of us do, 
.
your doctor can't do anything for you because they're training, because their paradigm starts at disease!🤒🤧😷
.
As a FDN-P, we are running non-diagnostic tests to see where the HIDDEN stressors are in your body!

Hormones, immune, digestion, detox, energy production, and nervous system. 
.
So when we run functional labs, 🧪 we stop addressing symptoms and get to the root cause  of your main health concerns and complaints!
