Gastrointestinal problems, ranging from IBS to IBD, are prevalent and can be incredibly challenging to deal with. The functional approach involves a thorough assessment to identify the underlying imbalances that are contributing to these symptoms and works towards restoring a healthy gut environment.

The root cause of most hormone problems is often unrelated to hormones themselves. Merely treating the symptoms without addressing the underlying reason for the imbalance is like putting a band-aid on the issue. Many people mistake symptom relief for problem resolution, a common approach seen with hormonal birth control. Dr. Lisa delves deeper to uncover the underlying causes of these imbalances in order to address the true source of the problem.

Examining the thyroid comprehensively involves considering multiple layers beyond just "TSH." The functional approach delves into each of these layers to gain a complete understanding of the thyroid cascade. It is possible for individuals to exhibit hypothyroid symptoms due to underlying factors beyond TSH and T4 levels, such as gut health, detoxification, or inflammation. These indirect causes can impact thyroid function and result in normal TSH and T4 levels despite symptoms of hypothyroidism.

Autoimmune diseases are becoming more common, especially in women. The functional approach looks into why the immune system gets mixed up between friend and foe. Dr. Lisa helps many people with autoimmune issues by identifying triggers, restoring immune balance, and providing healing tools to improve their quality of life.

Often dismissed as a common occurrence among women, Irregular Menstrual Cycles are not just a normal inconvenience; they are a sign that something deeper is going on within the body. While occasional irregularities in menstrual cycles can be normal, persistent irregularities should not be ignored. These irregularities could be a manifestation of an underlying health issue or imbalance that needs to be addressed. It is essential to listen to your body to uncover the root cause of these irregularities and ensure optimal health and well-being. Don't dismiss irregular menstrual cycles as just a part of being a woman; they could be your body's way of signaling that something needs attention and care.

The majority of blood sugar imbalances stem from imbalances in multiple systems, leading to compensatory reactions that appear to be solely a "blood sugar problem." By uncovering the root cause of these imbalances in each individual, Dr. Lisa can effectively address and improve blood sugar issues at their source.
