Functional Medicine

Functional Medicine is a systems biology–based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease. Each symptom or differential diagnosis may be one of many contributing to an individual's illness.

How do you know if you are healthy?
Everyone has known someone who was given a clean bill of health and had a stroke or heart attack soon after. What went wrong? Unfortunately most screenings for health look for disease, not function. From health to death, where are you in that spectrum? At Pure Health & Vitality in Lake Forest we analyze your blood, urine and saliva to assess aging properties, energy efficiency, stress resiliency, blood sugar regulation, detoxification, digestion and hormonal imbalances, all on a functional level. We'll tell you what's working, what is not, and what is going in the right or wrong direction and take positive action steps towards your health goals.

Our goal is finding the cause of the problem. In order to do this, we use In-Office diagnostics for analyzing blood on a cellular level, Labs for Gluten sensitivity, Brain/nervous systems, autoimmune diseases, G.I. testing,and genetics testing.
