Making the right lifestyle changes is often enough to create a natural state of good health. But in some cases, there may be more serious symptoms that interfere with our ability to feel and function our best. At HealthWell, we believe symptoms are not the problem, but the result of a problem. Instead of responding to symptoms, we are solely concerned with uncovering the root cause or causes of your health complaints and symptoms.

We do this by utilizing an investigative system called Functional Diagnostic Nutrition. FDN is a science-based lab system that tests and reveals possible imbalances in one area of the body at a subclinical (causal) level. We address issues such as hormone imbalance, adrenal fatigue, digestive problems, immune deficiency, detoxification, food sensitivities, and other hidden stressors. FDN tests use blood, saliva, hair, urine, or stool to determine what systems or mechanisms are malfunctioning in your body, so that appropriate lab guided strategies can be taken to improve and restore normal function. When function is restored, symptoms disappear. Which tests are ordered depends on the particular conditions, goals, and complaints.

Common Health Complaints/Symptoms addressed by FDN:

• Fatigue and lethargy
• Inflammation and muscle/joint pain
• Weight gain and weight loss
• Allergies, acne, and rosacea
• Low sex drive/poor libido
• Blood Sugar problems
• Digestive discomfort, indigestion and bloating
• Depression and anxiety
• Headaches, migraines and fogginess
• Insomnia and sleep issues
• PMS, skin, and hair problems
• Menstruation irregularities
• Poor nutrient breakdown and absorption
• Bacterial and yeast overgrowth
• And many other consequences of the chronic stress response

FDN is an emerging field connecting science, evidence and clinical insight to bridge the gap between Nutrition and Functional Medicine. The philosophy of FDN is centered on helping the body help itself by providing the building blocks it needs to get well and stay well…naturally! Within you is the power to achieve vibrant health and a vitality you may have not experienced in many years.
