Functional Lab Tests
This is the use of science to determine the underlying cause or causes of illness. The lab tests can be used to interpret how the body is functioning and where there might be issues that can be addressed. Commonly used tests assess; digestive functioning, reproductive/stress hormone levels, heavy metal toxicity, and food sensitivity tests.
Herbal Medicine
Plants have been used as medicine throughout the world in all cultures. The use of herbal medicine typically has minimal side effects and can help support the body’s healing processes. Herbal medicines are available in a variety of forms including teas, pills, tinctures, and salves.
Hormone Balancing
Hormone imbalances can cause PMS, cycle irregularity, peri and menopausal/andropausal symptoms. It also can contribute to issues with mood, libido, sexual performance and overall well-being. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone can be assessed by symptoms and/or testing. Hormonal support can be provided through the use of supplements, herbs and hormone replacement.
This encompasses vitamins, minerals, amino acids, protein supplements, and others. These can be used for both acute and chronic issues as well as for health optimization. Dr. Dawn can streamline your supplement plan to best meet your unique needs.
