Functional & Integrative Medicine

Personalized Care for Complex Health Concerns

Functional and integrative medicine considers how sleep, stress, hormones, metabolism, digestion, environmental exposures, medications, and daily habits may interact. Andelana MD uses this approach to evaluate persistent or overlapping concerns and identify factors that may be contributing to symptoms.

Conditions and Concerns We May Evaluate

  • Fatigue, low energy, or brain fog

  • Digestive symptoms or food-related concerns

  • Sleep disruption

  • Metabolic, weight, or fatty-liver concerns

  • Hormonal or thyroid concerns

  • Nutritional deficiencies

  • Environmental, mold, toxicant, tick, or Lyme exposure concerns

Testing

Testing is targeted to the patient’s symptoms and prior results. Standard medical testing is generally considered first, with specialty testing used selectively when it is likely to add useful information.

  • Blood count, metabolic panel, glucose, A1c, lipids, liver, and kidney testing

  • Thyroid, hormone, iron, vitamin, and nutrient studies when indicated

  • Targeted gastrointestinal, celiac, or stool testing when appropriate

  • Exposure or tick-borne disease testing based on history and symptoms

  • Selected specialty testing when the expected clinical value is clear

How Andelana MD Uses These Tests

We compare test findings with symptoms, sleep, activity, medications, supplements, and prior medical information. This helps identify meaningful abnormalities, avoid unnecessary duplication, and establish practical priorities.

Treatment Approach

  • Practical lifestyle recommendations

  • Sleep, stress-management, physical-activity, and body-composition strategies

  • Evidence-informed supplements when appropriate

  • Correction of documented deficiencies

  • Targeted medical treatment within the scope of the consultation
