WHAT IS
FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
Functional or Integrative Medicine looks at all body systems to find the root cause of symptoms or illness. This is a field of medical and wellness practice defined as a personalized and precise approach, using biomarkers to slow down the aging process and to create enhanced health and well-being. Knowledge of your genetics helps to find the root cause of illness. Treatment focuses on bringing balance or homeostasis back to the body. The result is increased healthspan.
The emphasis of functional medicine is on:
- Lifestyle
- Nutrition
- Diet
- Supplements specific to an individual’s symptoms
- Genetics
- Lab results
HOW DOES THE CONSULTATION PROCESS WORK?
The preliminary and comprehensive consults occur with a phone or Zoom call with Dr. Lyda after all the results are analyzed. A personalized plan of action may include supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes. Addressing a person’s top 3 health goals is a priority.
Genetic testing is done with a saliva sample. The test kit is mailed to your home. The sample is easy to collect and send back to the lab.
You will then fill out a detailed past medical history form and review of systems. The basic lab work involves a Urine Organic acids test and Micronutrient evaluation that is mailed to you and returned to the lab. Blood work can be done at any lab, or a phlebotomist can come to your home. Lab testing is geared toward the individual patient. Typical labs include macro and micro nutrients, organic acids, amino acid analysis, Oxidative stress analysis, and hormonal levels. An environmental toxin profile and Microbiome testing may be needed depending on individual symptoms.
HOW IS
GENETIC TESTING DONE?
The YGR saliva test kit is analyzed by an array chip manufactured by Thermo Fisher and processed through Rutgers University RUCDR Infinite Biologics. The testing provides 200,000 SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) analyzed through proprietary software that is routinely updated. The raw data looks at various pathways involved in functional nutritional support to tell a more comprehensive story of gene function. The software provides a wealth of information about how a person’s body makes and uses proteins and enzymes that are critical components to rebuild and repair cells, produce antioxidants, and detoxify.
