Getting Started

Not a Symptom. A Signal. Persistent symptoms are rarely random.

 

Your symptoms reflect cumulative influences unfolding over time — shaped by medical history, stress patterns, environmental exposures, lifestyle factors, and prior illness.​ 

 

Fatigue, inflammatory activity, metabolic instability, hormonal shifts, digestive dysfunction, and sleep disruption don't exist in isolation, which is why an evaluation with Dr. Love examines your health trajectory across your lifespan.   This includes developmental influences, environmental exposures, prior medical history, diagnostics, medications, stress patterns, and lifestyle factors — to identify all the contributors to current patterns you're experiencing.

 

Sometimes appropriate evaluations rule out acute disease but symptoms remain.  This is where functional medicine steps in - to get to the root cause of your symptoms. 

 

This is where structured & consistent clinical evaluation + functional care becomes essential.

Functional Comprehensive Care 

lovefunctionalmedicinelogo

Rather than focusing on isolated findings, our process looks at you and your body as a whole being.  Findings are prioritized and paced within a structured, phased plan. Advanced diagnostics are utilized selectively and based on clinical indication.

When symptoms and factors are addressed in this way, body systems finally have the chance to heal as they move toward improved stability and functional resilience.

We offer a-la-carte appointments or a membership package after an initial one-time on-boarding session is completed to build your functional health profile. Membership-based care provides continuity, follow-up, and coordination when appropriate and offers the best value. This model is built for thoughtful, complex cases that require time, integration, and disciplined clinical reasoning. 

Active patient participation is essential to our meaningful progress. 

 

This model is for you if: 

  •  You prefer long-term strategy over short-term symptom suppression​

  •  You have sought traditional medical care but symptoms persist

  •   You value in-depth analysis rather than episodic visits

  •    You are prepared to participate actively in lifestyle and behavioral modifications to improve your condition(s)

This practice is designed to complement — not replace — existing medical care.  Care summaries and relevant findings are available upon request.​​

What do you test for?

Specialized Functional testing is ordered when clinically appropriate for your unique health concerns. When standard evaluations don’t fully explain what’s happening, deeper testing can help uncover hidden contributors to chronic symptoms.  At Love Functional Medicine, we listen & look at the big picture.  Testing is individualized and labs are chosen based on your story, symptoms, timeline, and goals.

These advanced assessments allow us to look upstream — at digestion, inflammation, hormones, metabolism, immune activity, nutrient status, and environmental exposures — so care can be personalized and precise.  Here are just some of the things we may test for. 

Digestive & Microbiome Health


   •    Comprehensive stool analysis (gut bacteria, parasites, yeast,             inflammation, digestive markers)
   •    SIBO breath testing
   •    Intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) markers
   •    Food immune reactivity panels

Nutrient Status & Cellular Function


   •    Organic acids testing (mitochondrial and metabolic function)
   •    Comprehensive micronutrient panels
   •    Fatty acid profiles
   •    Oxidative stress markers

Hormone & Neurotransmitter Balance


   •    Adrenal and circadian cortisol patterns
   •    Sex hormone metabolism (estrogen, progesterone,

         testosterone)

   •    Melatonin and sleep-related markers
   •    Urinary hormone metabolite testing (cycle-specific when

          appropriate) Including advanced hormone mapping via

          DUTCH test.

Immune Activation & Autoimmunity


   •    Autoimmune screening panels
   •    Chronic viral or inflammatory immune patterns
   •    Molecular mimicry and cross-reactivity testing

Environmental & Toxic Burden


   •    Heavy metals
   •    Mold/mycotoxins
   •    Chemical exposures
   •    Detoxification capacity

Cardiometabolic & Inflammatory Risk


   •    Advanced lipid particle analysis
   •    Insulin resistance markers
   •    Inflammatory biomarkers
   •    Cardiovascular risk stratification

Specialty Evaluations 


   •    Cognitive decline screening
   •    Mast cell and histamine pathways
   •    Chronic fatigue and post-viral patterns
   •    Complex multisystem presentations

Please note:


Tests are self-pay and handled transparently before ordering.​​  

 

Testing doesn’t replace listening — it supports it. Results are always integrated with your full health story to guide thoughtful, personalized care.

Dr. Love spent time with me in each session going over all my concerns in detail. At no point did I feel rushed.  When I implemented these protocols I noticed differences right away!  

Matthew M.

I'm finally getting answers to issues I've had for years and couldn't be happier with my results. Thank you Dr. Love. 

Natalie T.

Dr. Love is kind and caring, I'm so glad I found this practice! I'm getting to the root of my hormonal imbalances and finally feeling more myself these days!
