Discover the D.R.E.S.S. Framework for Lasting Wellness

Conventional medicine often waits for disease to show up. Functional lab testing does the opposite—it helps detect dysfunction early and guide a proactive, personalized healing plan.

Our approach includes targeted lab tests that assess the function of critical systems in your body, giving us a clear map of where things are going wrong and how to correct them.

Functional Labs I Use:

1. Stress & Hormone Profile (Saliva)
   Measures cortisol, DHEA, sex hormones, melatonin, and SIgA to assess adrenal and endocrine function, stress response, and immune health.
    
2. Metabolic Wellness Profile (Urine)
   Evaluates digestion, liver detox capacity, and oxidative stress through markers like indican, bile acids, and 8-OHdG.
    
3. Mucosal Barrier Assessment (Blood)
   Tests zonulin, DAO, and histamine to assess gut permeability and histamine response—key insights for gut integrity and inflammation.
    
4. GI-MAP Stool Test
   Screens for parasites, bacteria, fungi, and other pathogens while evaluating digestive, immune, and detox markers in the gut.
    
5. MRT LEAP 176 Food Sensitivity Panel
   Detects hidden inflammatory responses to 176 foods and chemicals that may be stressing your immune system.
    
6. Metabolic Typing®
   Determines your body’s ideal ratio of proteins, fats, and carbs, helping you eat in alignment with your unique genetic blueprint.

Many people focus on the surface—diet, workouts, supplements—but overlook what’s going on beneath it all. That’s where the real magic happens.

H.I.D.D.E.N. stands for:

• Hormonal Imbalances
   
• Immune System Dysregulation
   
• Digestive Issues
   
• Detoxification Impairments
   
• Energy Production Problems
   
• Neurotransmitter Imbalances
   

When these systems are out of balance, they create a ripple effect, leading to fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, inflammation, and other chronic symptoms. These are often the real reasons you're feeling unwell.

D.R.E.S.S. stands for the five pillars of health: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation.

This framework is the foundation of true healing. When customized and guided by functional lab testing, it becomes a powerful tool to help you reclaim your energy, balance, and vitality.

• Diet – Fuel your body with real, whole foods that match your metabolic needs. We use tools like Metabolic Typing® and food sensitivity testing to personalize your nutrition.
   
• Rest – Sleep is your body’s prime time for healing. We help identify what’s disrupting your sleep and implement strategies to restore quality rest.
   
• Exercise – Movement should energize, not exhaust. We guide you to find the right type and intensity based on your stress load and health goals.
   
• Stress Reduction – Chronic stress is at the root of nearly every health condition. We help you identify and resolve both obvious and hidden sources of stress.
   
• Supplementation – We recommend only what’s necessary, based on your labs. Supplements support healing—not replace healthy habits.

Unlike one-size-fits-all solutions, my method is personalized, holistic, and rooted in data. We don’t guess—we test. We don’t treat symptoms—we identify and address what’s actually going wrong underneath.

Once we identify your specific healing opportunities, we co-create a custom plan using the D.R.E.S.S. pillars to restore balance and get you feeling like yourself again—naturally.
