Hormones & Thyroid
Comprehensive panels for sex hormones, thyroid function, adrenal health and cortisol rhythms, far beyond a basic TSH or single testosterone number.

Functional Medicine Diagnostics
Root-Cause Medicine for People Tired of Guessing.
Physician-led functional medicine and advanced diagnostic testing for patients who want answers beyond routine labs and symptom management.
Advanced Diagnostics
What Is Functional Medicine?
Functional medicine is a personalized, root-cause approach to health. Instead of asking which drug masks a symptom, it asks why the symptom exists. Genetics, hormones, metabolism, gut health, toxins, sleep, stress and lifestyle all interact, and imbalance in one area quietly drives problems in another.
Many patients arrive after being told their basic labs are normal even though they still do not feel well. Standard panels are designed to catch disease, not to explain fatigue, weight-loss resistance, brain fog, hormone changes or digestive trouble. That gap is exactly where advanced diagnostics belong.
When clinically appropriate, Dr. Liv recommends testing that goes far beyond routine labs: comprehensive hormone and thyroid panels, metabolic and cardiovascular risk markers, gut microbiome analysis, nutrient and antioxidant levels, toxic burden and even biological aging markers. The goal is a clearer, science-backed picture of what is actually driving your symptoms.
Those findings become a personalized plan. Not a one-size-fits-all protocol and never a promised quick fix, but a medically grounded roadmap built from your history, your goals and your data.
What We Evaluate
Benefits of Functional Medicine Diagnostics
A 360-degree look at the systems routine labs miss. Here is what advanced testing can uncover.
Metabolism & Longevity
Insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk and biological aging markers that explain weight-loss resistance and flag future risk early.
Nutrient & Cellular Health
A complete look at vitamins, minerals, micronutrients and antioxidants, plus mitochondrial function testing for cellular energy production.
Gut & Immune Health
Microbiome analysis, food sensitivity testing and gut permeability evaluation to find hidden digestive and immune triggers.
Toxins & Detoxification
Toxic burden evaluation for heavy metals and environmental exposures that can quietly drive inflammation and fatigue.
Genetics & Epigenetics
DNA methylation and nutrigenomic testing that reveal how your genes influence nutrition, aging and disease risk.
Sleep & Stress Chemistry
Biochemical evaluation of neurotransmitters, melatonin and circadian rhythm when poor sleep or chronic stress is part of the picture.
Answers for Unexplained Symptoms
Fatigue, brain fog, mood changes and stubborn symptoms finally get a structured investigation instead of another shrug.
A Plan Built From Your Data
Findings translate into targeted nutrition, supplementation, gut repair, detoxification or hormone support, customized to your results.
Physician-Led Review
Dr. Liv brings Harvard research training and board-certified internal medicine experience to interpreting your results, not a printed report and a handshake.
Progress You Can Measure
Follow-up testing shows what is actually changing, so your plan evolves with real data instead of guesswork.

A Note From Dr. Liv
Normal Labs Are Not the Same as Answers.
The most common story I hear is some version of this: my labs came back normal, but I still feel terrible. Routine testing is built to catch disease once it is established. It was never designed to explain why you are exhausted, gaining weight or losing your edge.
Functional diagnostics change the question. Hormones, gut health, nutrient status, toxins, sleep and stress chemistry each tell part of the story, and together they usually explain what routine panels missed.
Testing is never the end goal. It is the starting point for a plan that is genuinely yours, reviewed with you in plain language and adjusted as your body responds. That is what root-cause medicine actually means.
