A FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE APPROACH
At Regenerative Therapy of Lady Lake, functional medicine begins with understanding your health history, current symptoms, lifestyle, nutrition, and previous test results.
When appropriate, we may recommend additional laboratory testing to help identify patterns and guide an individualized care plan. Recommendations may include nutrition, lifestyle changes, and targeted nutritional support based on your needs and findings.
AREAS WE COMMONLY EVALUATE
THYROID & METABOLIC HEALTH
We review symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and existing laboratory results. Additional thyroid or metabolic testing may be recommended when appropriate.
DIGESTIVE & NUTRITIONAL HEALTH
Digestive symptoms, diet, and nutritional factors are considered together. Additional testing may be recommended when appropriate.
ENERGY, STRESS & SLEEP
We consider patterns involving energy, stress, and sleep when developing an individualized care plan.
A BROADER LOOK AT NERVE HEALTH
Nerve symptoms can have many possible contributors. A functional medicine evaluation considers your health history, symptom patterns, nutrition, medications, lifestyle, previous diagnoses, and existing test results.
- When clinically appropriate, laboratory testing may help evaluate factors such as blood-sugar regulation, vitamin status, thyroid function, and other metabolic concerns that could be relevant to nerve health.
Findings are used to help guide individualized recommendations and coordinate care with other healthcare providers when appropriate. New, worsening, or unexplained neurological symptoms require proper medical evaluation.
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE
WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

DOES FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE REPLACE MY MEDICAL CARE?
No. Functional medicine is intended to complement appropriate medical care, not replace your primary-care physician, specialists, prescribed medications, or necessary diagnostic evaluation.
WHAT MAY AN EVALUATION INCLUDE?
An evaluation may include a detailed health history, review of existing records and laboratory results, and recommendations for additional testing when appropriate. Not every patient requires the same tests.
