I mean, one of the first things we do, right, is of course we get a good detailed history from our patients. and try to get a sense of what's going on for them. Get an understanding of their timeline of their health. And that can help us find out what may be driving health problems in that person.

So we want to really help focus the treatment plan on that individual patient. And I think that's what's so special about functional medicine is it's really looking for that underlying root cause for that underlying patient so that they can reach their optimal health.
