While conventional medicine is largely geared towards putting a “band-aid” over symptoms, functional medicine looks at the body as an interconnected network and aims to address the root cause of symptoms. This involves a whole-body approach that considers how different systems in the body all work together.

We use advanced lab testing, whole-food recommendations, targeted supplements, and holistic lifestyle strategies to address your symptoms naturally through an integrative lens.

Our Micronutrient Test (MNT) is a diagnostic test that provides an in-depth view of vitamin deficiencies, antioxidant function, malabsorption and dysbiosis markers, energy and neurotransmitter metabolism, toxin exposure, and oxidative stress.

If someone is deficient in a particular nutrient, the MNT will uncover this deficiency so that it can be effectively treated, thus facilitating real prevention. Not only will correcting intracellular deficiencies slow aging and degenerative disease progression, but it can also prevent as well as repair cellular dysfunction, and by extension disease.

What makes the MNT particularly relevant is that it takes into consideration a person’s biochemical individuality when assessing nutritional status. The MNT is performed intracellularly—it is not a static serum measurement—thus taking into account cellular absorption, metabolism and utilization in its nutritional evaluation of cell function, which correlates with tissue health and systemic health. Serum (extracellular) nutrients fluctuate wildly, are only a snapshot and tell you nothing about the functional health of cells. The MNT measures nutrient status, in the context of cellular function, over a period of 4-6 months. No other nutritional test compares.

Many of the commonly accepted causes of disease—inflammation, gut health, genetics—are really manifestations of micronutrient deficiency.

Inflammation – exacerbated by micronutrient deficiencies. Antioxidants quell inflammation if present in adequate amounts. Deficiencies will cause inflammatory processes to run amok.

Poor gut health – contributes to micronutrient deficiency. Bacteria in our gut make B vitamins and facilitate absorption of nutrients. Poor gut health will certainly cause micronutrient deficiencies.

Low immunity – often caused by micronutrient deficiencies. Several micronutrients are needed to regulate the complicated immune network which protects us against pathogens and endogenous cancer cells.

Environmental Toxins – our body's detoxifications systems run on micronutrients, not enough means we can't detoxify. Toxins in our environment are unavoidable, we just need to arm our cellular detoxification pathways with the micronutrients needed to deal with the toxins.

Hormones – micronutrient deficiencies compromise hormone synthesis. If you have the micronutrients you need, hormones are more likely to be balanced and functioning well.

Genetics – micronutrients regulate genetic expression. Some genes may dictate that you need more (or less) of a micronutrient to perform the same cellular functions as someone with a different gene. But the ultimate effect of genetically linked micronutrient deficiencies can be overcome with targeted supplementation.

All of the above contributors to disease are a reflection of micronutrient deficiencies. Correct micronutrient deficiency via targeted supplementation and health improves.

Micronutrient deficiencies may still exist for a host of reasons:

Biochemical Individuality: Individual needs vary, thus micronutrient requirements for you may be quite different from another.

Absorption: Malabsorption is common, and is often aggravated by stress.

Illness (acute or chronic): Just as micronutrient deficiencies can set the stage for disease, health conditions—and the medications often prescribed to treat them—can contribute to micronutrient depletions.

Aging: Our micronutrient requirements at age 20 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50, and beyond.

Lifestyle: Diet, physical activity, medication use — all profoundly affect micronutrient demands.There are multiple variables that go beyond your food intake that affect your nutritional status. Genetics, aging, lifestyle, environmental toxins, stress, chronic illness, injuries, and medications all influence nutrient absorption, and thus your nutrient levels and cellular functioning.

43% of the people taking multivitamins are micronutrient deficient, despite supplementation.

Though it would seem obvious to boost the body’s nutrients with one of the many commercially available supplements, the human body is more complex than that.

Certain nutrients perform best in the presence of other nutrients. For example, the body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium.

Certain nutrients may perform counteractive functions. For example, beta-carotene and vitamin C enhance iron absorption, while calcium and polyphenols appear to reduce the absorption of iron.

Also, numerous factors can impair nutrient absorption: genetics, aging, lifestyle, environmental toxins, stress, chronic illness, injuries, and medications.

Getting a full picture of your micronutrient profile and cellular functioning offers comprehensive evaluation to identify potential sources of malabsorption, deficiencies, and dysfunction.

The Replete Method™ is a six-month one-on-one program. You have the option to buy additional follow-ups for ongoing support if you wish.

All consultations are held virtually, either by video session or phone. This allows us to work with people throughout the United States.

Labs can range from $400-$600. This is a one-time charge to order the bloodwork panel for a Micronutrient Test (MNT).

Supplement protocols are dependent upon individual micronutrient needs. The average protocol ranges from $80/month - $165/month.

We extend our wholesale pricing on all labs and supplements to keep costs as low as possible for our clients.
