Functional Medicine in St. Louis
Many patients come to Whole Health & Wellness in St. Louis for functional medicine care after struggling with ongoing digestive symptoms, food sensitivities, fatigue, recurring yeast issues, allergies, hormonal symptoms, inflammation, or chronic health concerns that never fully improved with conventional treatment.
Rather than viewing symptoms in isolation, our approach focuses on identifying and addressing contributing factors by looking at how digestive, immune, hormonal, nervous system, and inflammatory patterns may be influencing chronic symptoms and overall health.
Using functional medicine, personalized nutrition, advanced lab testing, chiropractic care, acupuncture, and holistic therapies, we create individualized care plans designed to support long-term health and overall function.
Why Many Chronic Symptoms Keep Returning
Many patients we see have already tried medications, elimination diets, supplements, or multiple practitioners but still struggle with recurring symptoms and never feel like they fully regain their health.
In many cases, symptoms involving digestion, immune function, inflammation, hormones, stress physiology, and nervous system regulation may all be interconnected. When these underlying patterns are not addressed together, symptoms often continue to return or shift over time.
Our approach focuses on developing a more complete understanding of the physiologic factors contributing to ongoing symptoms in order to create a more personalized and targeted plan for each patient.
Underlying Factors We Commonly Evaluate
Chronic symptoms are often influenced by multiple overlapping factors rather than a single isolated issue. Depending on the individual, these patterns may include:
Gut microbiome imbalances and digestive dysfunction
Immune system dysregulation and chronic inflammation
Hormonal patterns affecting energy, sleep, metabolism, or stress resilience
Food sensitivities and inflammatory reactions
Nervous system stress patterns impacting overall function
This is why individuals with similar symptoms may have very different underlying causes.
Our Approach May Be a Good Fit If You:
Feel frustrated by recurring symptoms that never fully resolve
Have been told your labs are “normal” but still don’t feel well
Want to better understand underlying causes contributing to your symptoms
Prefer a more personalized, root-cause-focused approach
Are looking for natural therapies alongside functional medicine testing and assessment
We combine advanced lab testing, hands-on assessment, and holistic therapies to create a personalized care plan for each patient.
Functional Laboratory Testing
Functional lab testing can help identify underlying patterns contributing to digestive symptoms, fatigue, hormone-related concerns, inflammation, immune duysfunction, and other chronic health issues.
Depending on the individual, testing may include:
Blood panels (nutrients, metabolic markers, hormones, functional analysis of standard blood tests)
Stool Analysis (gut microbiome, digestive function, infections, inflammation markers)
DUTCH salivary hormone testing
Food sensitivity and allergy testing
Genetic testing (methylation and detox pathways)
These assessments help us create a more personalized and targeted care plan based on your individual symptoms, health history, and functional patterns.
