Functional Medicine
Functional Medicine looks to find the root cause or mechanics involved with any loss of function, which ultimately reveals why a set of symptoms is there in the first place, or why the patient has a particular disease. Health is not just the absence of disease, but a state of immense vitality. This discipline takes into account the personalization of healthcare, as each patient care plan is distinct and unique. It views us all as being different; genetically and biochemically unique. This personalized health care treats the individual, not the disease. The body is intelligent and has the capacity for self-regulation, which expresses itself through a dynamic balance of all your body systems. Your body has the ability to heal itself and this practice helps support the process of normal healing mechanics of the body naturally, rather than attacking the disease directly. The relationship between patient and practitioner effectively becomes a partnership; every aspect of a patient’s medical history is reviewed in detail.

TYPES OF TESTING THROUGH FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE AT VAGUS CLINIC:
We do not believe in unnecessary testing.
From our experience, three core tests deliver an incredible amount of insight. We begin with a stool and organic acid test and only add in the hormone test if necessary.
Stool
Organic Acids
Creating Balanced Health Full Scan
Only if necessary and based on the insights of our core tests we then look at other tests to help further investigate the root cause and health of each patient.
Blood Work
Mycotox Mold Testing
Lyme Testing (Vibrant Labs)
MARcONS Mold Testing
ThyRex Test
DNA Testing
Hormone Testing DUTCH Test
Glyphosphate Testing
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS TO THIS APPROACH?
The benefits of our approach are in most cases through experience. 85% of patients see dramatic results once we do our core tests and design a protocol to address the root cause of their illness, condition or suboptimal health. Finding the root cause and treating the root cause without a lot of testing saves the patient time and money and helps them start their healing journey faster. We focus on healing the gut and also address oral health as this has a dramatic influence on a person’s overall health and well-being.
HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT TO TRADITIONAL WESTERN MEDICINE?
Traditional western medicine Doctors are trained to heal the symptoms not address the root cause, they are quick to prescribe medication to deal with symptoms which can cause other stress and sickness on the body.
