Functional Medicine with Applied Kinesiology

Your first Functional Medicine assessment visit will be up to 90 minutes long. This will include time to review your health history and perform a nutrition focused physical exam utilizing Applied Kinesiology, Nutrition Response Testing, and Morphogenic Field Technique. Other non-invasive functional diagnostic tests will also be performed as needed including a musculoskeletal evaluation. Dr. Markus may give you beginning nutritional recommendations to implement on your first visit. She will also let you know if she recommends any further lab testing. A 60 minute follow-up appointment will be scheduled where you and the doctor will discuss the results of your initial Functional Medicine assessment. You will then receive a treatment plan that addresses the cause of the underlying health condition. This comprehensive treatment plan may include a specific diet protocol based on your needs, stress relief recommendations, sleep hygiene recommendations, and any nutritional, homeopathic or herbal supplements that are further recommended.
