Functional Lab Consultation

 

It can be frustrating to be told your blood work is ‘normal,’ yet you still struggle with symptoms of imbalances such as fatigue, digestive issues, weight changes, headaches, mood swings, painful cycles, or fertility challenges.

​

Functional Lab Consultations help you gain a deeper understanding of your health through personalized testing and interpretation.

 

Our focus is on assessing your lab values based on optimal levels, not just standard reference ranges, to uncover potential imbalances that could be affecting your health and wellness. This session provides you with insights into your testing options and/or results, and helps you create a personalized health plan that aligns with your wellness goals. 

​​

Instead of simply masking symptoms, a functional health approach aims to identify and address the underlying causes of health issues. This can involve investigating potential nutrient deficiencies, hormonal patterns, underlying infections, dysbiosis, and other factors.

​​​​​​​

What to Expect

​​

Your First Visit: We will perform a comprehensive functional health assessment, either in person or virtually. This includes a review of your health history, symptoms, lifestyle, dietary habits, and goals. We will also look at any recent lab results through a functional health lens of optimal function and discuss additional testing options if needed.

​

Customized Plan: We don't use one-size-fits-all testing or protocols. Based on your assessment, goals, and lab results, we will create a personalized plan. This may include specific dietary recommendations, supplements, lifestyle strategies, and/or additional functional testing if indicated.

​​​

Follow Up Sessions: Follow-up sessions are available for clients that have completed their initial Functional Lab Consultation within the past year. If labs are ordered during your first visit, a follow-up session will be scheduled to review your results in detail and develop your personalized plan. Ongoing sessions are also available as needed to update labs, discuss progress, and adjust your plan.

​

*Ordering Labs: Lab pricing varies, and will be reviewed prior to ordering. If you’re located in Florida, I can order comprehensive lab testing for you directly. For those outside of Florida, I offer virtual consultations where we can discuss which tests would be most beneficial. You have the option to order them yourself, go through your primary care provider/OBGYN, or work with my network of physicians who can order labs in most states (currently unavailable in NY, NJ, and RI). 

​​​

We are dedicated to offering a holistic and personalized approach to health, focusing on your unique needs. Whether you're dealing with specific health concerns or simply looking to improve your overall wellness, we can help provide a tailored and sustainable path to feeling your best.

Client Testimonials

"I have dealt with digestion problems my entire life, and I had worked with several providers that put me on medications that didn't help or extreme diets that felt unsustainable- and instead of improving, my digestion got worse and the list of foods I could eat kept shrinking. I finally found Dr. Ashley thanks to a friend, and she helped me figure out I have leaky gut, yeast overgrowth, and my microbiome was off. After a few months following her recommendations my digestion is finally regular and I feel so much better. I can eat foods again without feeling bloated or like it is going to upset my stomach. My eczema has actually cleared up as well, which is normally flared this time of year. Overall, highly recommend if you are looking for functional health support."  -E.S.
