At The Healing Collective Functional Medicine we utilize functional medicine to address underlying causes of “dis-ease”, looking at each patient as a unique individual and explore healing from the inside-out. Functional medicine is excellent for disease prevention, wellness support, and managing long-standing chronic conditions using an evidence-based, investigative approach to determine the root cause of illnesses. Through detailed questioning and listening, laboratory analysis, diagnostic studies, & lifestyle interventions, we can uncover long-desired answers and an effective treatment plan.
In order to identify the "seed" of the condition, we gently walk our patients through a detailed medical intake process. Through the process, we aim to establish a precise understanding of the patient’s current state of health, map a timeline of when health began to decline, and pinpoint potential triggers and causes.
Laboratory testing recommendations are made after the initial appointment, and may include any of the following:
Blood tests: thyroid, hormone panels, metabolic panels, complete blood count, cardiovascular, blood sugar, vitamin levels, Lyme disease, Hepatitis, fungal infections, H. pylori, sexually transmitted infections, autoimmune disease markers, genetics, SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), food allergies & intolerance
Stool tests: infections, digestion, inflammation, microbiome balance
Urine tests: hormones, neurotransmitters, infection, kidney function, iodine, mold

Breath tests: SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth), H. Pylori

Vaginal tests: pap smear screening, bacterial infections, yeast infections, sexually transmitted infections
The Relationship & Care Process
The Healing Collective honors the connection between mind, body and spirit. We actively support and follow your return to a state of balance and wellness. Patients are often advised to make significant lifestyle changes and to invest in themselves and their treatment process. In addition to Functional Medicine laboratory testing, this may include adopting new dietary habits, practicing relaxation techniques, increasing physical movement, integrating supplementation, and committing to lifestyle changes. With Functional Medicine, there is an emphasis on a partnership that involves and empowers the patient. The most successful results come from the most active, engaged, and dedicated patients.
