Functional Medicine Diagnostics

Learn how to incorporate advanced laboratory and diagnostic evaluation tools in integrative psychiatric practice.

Get to the Root...

Conventional approaches may leave you dealing with superficial symptoms or stopping at the elimination of a disrupting variable. Functional medicine, however, aims to uncover root causes underlying symptoms.

Using Advanced Functional Medicine Laboratory and Diagnostic Testing

This course includes a deep exploration of several functional medicine testing strategies, including:

  • Functional medicine interpretation of common laboratory tests (like the complete blood count and metabolic panel)
  • Advanced neurotransmitter testing
  • Cortisol curve testing and the NeuroAdrenal Profile
  • The DUTCH/DUTCH+ test for hormones
  • Advanced stool testing (e.g., GI Effects)
  • SIBO breath testing
  • Advanced food allergy testing
  • Advanced thyroid tree testing
  • Autoimmune and advanced immune panel testing
  • Psychogenetic testing (GeneSight, Genomind)
  • Lifestyle-oriented genetic testing (e.g., 3x4)
  • Organic acid testing (OAT)

...To Personalize Care

Finding the root cause(s) enable targeted interventions and individualized treatment plans that support optimal health outcomes and long-term wellness.

As you explore testing, you'll receive guidance on how findings flow into an effective plan of care tailored to the individual. This personalized care may include a combination of pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or lifestyle modifications tailored to the individual's needs and preferences.

Organized to Flow Logically

Course material is organized around a systems-based approach (supported by a clinical acronym) to streamline translation into clinical practice.
