Our Approach

Metabolomic Medicine^®

Specialized analysis that accurately detects nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders

Our mission is to help people achieve their health goals. To assist in this matter, we perform a specialized analysis called Metabolomic Analysis^®.

Metabolomic Analysis^® is a diagnostic tool that traces interactions of small molecules known as metabolites.

The analysis uncovers micronutrient deficiencies and metabolic disorders related to an individual's health condition that can be modified through diet, lifestyle changes, and supplements.

The analysis provides precise information about the human body as a biological system at a cellular level in the following areas:

micronutrient deficiencies (vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, fatty acids)
microbiome status
inflammation and efficiency of the repair processes
mitochondrial function (energy production)
insulin resistance
carbohydrate metabolism
oxidative stress
antioxidant status
neurotransmitters metabolism (dopamine, serotonin, adrenalin, GABA)

Metabolomic analyses are not comparable to ordinary laboratory tests. These tests are highly specialized and are performed in only a select number of laboratories around the world that adhere to very high standards.

Our clinic's lab is involved in quality control programs organized by prestigious institutions such as the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and the European Network of Laboratory Metabolic Diseases (ERNDIM).

Treatment

Treatment is modulated according to the deficiencies, dysfunctions and biochemical imbalances identified through the personalized metabolomics analysis. It includes the prescription of specific supplements, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and personalized nutritional regimens with the aim to replenish shortages and restore the normal biochemical balance of the body.

The treatment does not conflict with any medication the patient already takes. It improves patients' response, compliance, and outcome while reducing any side effects that could accompany pharmacological treatments.

For any acute medical condition, diagnosis or pharmaceutical prescription patients should be followed by an MD locally.

Health conditions that we manage

We treat patients that belong mainly in the following categories:

Autoimmune Conditions: these are conditions where the body attacks and damages its own tissues and organs such as in Hashimoto's thyroiditis, ulcerative colitis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, and others.

Chronic Health Problems: these are health problems lasting more than three months, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, gastrointestinal disorders, heart disease, and more.

Prevention: for healthy individuals who wish to improve their health and vitality.

Procedure & cost of the service

Frequently Asked Questions

I already see another doctor for my health problem; will that affect the treatment I already follow?

Metabolomic Medicine addresses metabolic dysfunctions and nutritional deficiencies. Therefore, it does not conflict with other pharmaceutical or standard treatments. On the contrary, it improves the patient's response and outcome while reducing any side effects that could be part of pharmacological treatments.

I am already working with a nutritionist. Do I need to be followed by one at your office?

Yes, all our patients are followed by one of our nutritionists. Our approach is, in fact, very different from what most nutritionists apply, being an integral part of your treatment. Reviewing your nutritional habits, lifestyle, and your body's response to food is vital to evaluate the Metabolomic Analysis results.

Does my medical insurance cover the costs?

Usually, costs are not covered by health insurance companies' basic services. However, they may be covered by additional insurance, in whole or part.

Either way, we will provide a detailed receipt for services performed for you to submit to your insurance carriers.
