Currently, we do not offer primary care services {for medication management/recurring prescriptions outside of what we are treating, vaccinations, acute care visits, etc.} as we are treating long-term health concerns and/or developmental delays.

At Waco Center for Functional Medicine, our goal is NOT for you to be on 20 supplements for the rest of your life, but instead to find answers as to why you need these supplements, treat the underlying cause, then identify which lifestyle changes and a minimal amount of supplements you need a long term for optimal wellness. Once we find and treat the root cause of illness, many clients can resume life as usual with minimal dietary changes and only a few daily maintenance supplements.
We perform extensive testing based on your history and symptoms. We don’t use the exact same testing for everyone because everyone’s health journey and symptoms are unique. The types of testing that we commonly offer include:
- Advanced Stool testing
- Extensive blood work
- Hormone testing (DUTCH panels)
- Heavy metal testing
- OAT testing
- Mycotoxin (mold) testing
- Genetic testing
- Toxicity testing
