At the Peninsula Chinese Medicine BloomRooms functional testing plays a crucial role in our approach, here’s why and what it provides:
Precision Medicine: Functional testing allows us to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to healthcare. It enables us to tailor treatments to each patient's unique physiology and biology. This precision medicine approach can lead to more effective and personalized care.
Root Cause Analysis: As Traditional Chinese Medicine does, functional testing focuses on identifying the underlying causes of health problems, not just treating symptoms. This approach gets to the root of health issues, leading to more sustainable solutions.
Comprehensive Assessment: Functional tests can provide a more comprehensive view of a patient's health, including factors like nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut health, and metabolic function. This holistic view helps us understand how different systems in the body are interconnected.
Treatment Monitoring: Functional testing allows us to track a patient's progress over time. We can see how interventions are affecting specific biomarkers and adjust treatments accordingly.
Patient Empowerment: Functional testing empowers you to take an active role in your health. When we understand the underlying causes of your health issues you can make informed positive changes to lifestyle and adhere to treatment plans.
At the Peninsula Chinese Medicine Room’s our approach combines Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbal medicine, nutritional supplementation and diet and lifestyle guidance to eliminate disease triggers with the aim to achieve your health goals, whatever they may be from a return to health with painless & regular periods, improved gut health or achieving pregnancy. Many of our patients have been searching for these “health keys” for many years and once we identify the drivers of the disease we can create a comprehensive plan to reverse disease.
