Functional medicine allows patients the opportunity to address these issues without drugs or surgery by looking at the complete picture of patients overall health. For example; most doctors when ordering a thyroid panel will only check the TSH (the basic thyroid marker) looking for hypothyroidism. With functional medicine all 12 thyroid markers are checked for any underlying issues with the thyroid before they become pathological. This allows the patient to see any issues that are starting in the thyroid and address them naturally.

Once blood work is completed Dr. Cruz analyzes the information, if any potential issues are present then Dr. Cruz uses a non-pharmaceutical approach to work with you for restoration of your health. These may include:

Better food choices

Lifestyle changes Nutritional supplements or Botanicals Customized recommendations for each patient based on their testing Follow up testing and reports to support patient

fullest.

Neuropathy
