    For Better Healthcare

    Integrative Health is a type of medical therapy that combines practices and treatments from conventional and functional medicine, appealing to those seeking a more holistic, or natural, approach. Patients with chronic symptoms and disease often turn to Integrative Health to dive deeper into their health concerns to root out–and treat–the underlying cause of these conditions.

    Conventional Vs. Functional Medicine

    Why Integrative?

    Conventional (or Western) medicine diagnoses and treats symptoms using standardized protocols, often with medications or procedures for quick relief. Functional medicine targets root-causes, addressing underlying imbalances for long-term health. Integrative blends both approaches.

  • We believe more options, and more information, lead to better healthcare. That's why we've integrated specialized services and products within Care First to support an Integrative lifestyle...

    Like low-toxin products, our own line of vitamins and supplements, and IV hydration therapies. Patients can also choose Integrative Health as the guiding principle for their Primary care, embracing the Functional and Integrative Health philosophy of treating the whole person–body, mind, and soul. Whether you're here for a food sensitivity test or seeking prayers, it's our privilege to support you with compassionate, comprehensive care.

    Check for adrenal imbalances that affect high blood pressure, memory, chronic pain, fatigue, depression, GI, heart disease, weight gain, and nervous system diseases. Adrenocortex Stress Profile is a noninvasive test that evaluates bioactive levels of the body’s important stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA and serves as a critical tool for uncovering biochemical imbalances underlying a host of clinical conditions.

    Collection

    Four cortisol samples are measured throughout the day give insight into the natural circadian diurnal cortisol rhythm to address specific daily stressors. DHEA is measured once in the 7 AM–9 AM sample.

    Results

    Changing the amounts of cortisol and DHEA can profoundly affect energy levels, emotional states, resistance to disease and a general sense of well-being.

    Conditions Associated With Adrenal Imbalance:

    • High blood pressure
    • Cardiovascular disease
    • GI and immune issues
    • Diabetes and metabolic syndrome

    The GI Effects Stool Profiles are a suite of advanced stool tests that provide immediate, actionable clinical information for the management of gastrointestinal health. Check 3 key functions of gut health–digestion/absorption, inflammation/immunology, and gut microbiome–to look for disease markers, biological response, bacteria, parasites and more.

    The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. The health of one affects the other, as research has associated an imbalanced gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract.

    Metabolomix

    Type: Urine test
    Price: $620
    Results: in 14 days

    Metabolomix+ is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers to help your provider target nutritional therapies to meet your specific needs. The Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids, and identifies markers for your microbiome, digestive support, vitamins, cellular energy, toxins, creatinine concentration, oxidative stress, and damage.

    Oxidative Stress: Low antioxidant levels contribute to oxidative stress, linked to neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, memory loss, and other age-related conditions.

    Mitochondrial Dysfunction: As the cell’s powerhouse, mitochondria support energy production. Dysfunction can lead to muscle weakness, autism, increased infections, migraines, and diseases affecting the heart, liver, kidneys, and thyroid.

    Omega Imbalance: An imbalance in omega fatty acids increases the risk of inflammatory diseases like asthma, eczema, and coronary heart disease.

    Toxic Exposure: Exposure to heavy metals, pesticides, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) may contribute to chronic diseases, immune dysfunction, and inflammation.

    Methylation Imbalance: Methylation supports cell regeneration, detoxification, stress and histamine response, and neurotransmitter balance.
