As a standard, we begin with a thorough consultation and evaluation. "To see is to know," as the saying goes, and we guarantee our patients a level of certainty that follows that mantra. We cannot confidently prescribe any type of hormonal, peptide, or weight management therapy without proper screening and visualization.

When it comes to labs and bloodwork, there are basic tests that most primary care physicians will order annually. Functional medicine providers may order these as well, but may still leave out key components based on symptoms and a deeper look into the connection to related DEXA evidence of your body. We do not simply assign a baseline panel, but rather an advanced "executive" panel tailored to your symptoms and desired health outcomes.

Once we have the necessary information based on your biology and physiology, we can confidently prescribe the compounds that aid in the help, recovery, or boost you were looking for from the start. This stage marks the true beginning. This type of specific protocol is what you were seeking, and now we head towards the management and wellness stage

DEXA (dual x-ray absorptiometry) for diagnosing osteoporosis or bone thinning. It provides a direct, high-precision measurement of fat, lean tissue, and bone, minimizing the assumptions other methods require. We get to see what you actually look like without guessing . The amount of radiation used in DEXA scans is very low and similar to the amount of radiation used in x-rays. We are all exposed to ionizing radiation every day from the natural environment.

Only with a proper, comprehensive blood panel and lab work can we begin to answer your questions with clinical confidence about your hormonal needs, metabolic health, body composition, or symptoms.

A treatment protocol/plan with comprehensive clinical management is then created to ensure the best possible outcomes.
