A Deeper Look into Your Health
What Is Functional Testing?
Functional testing is a powerful diagnostic approach used to assess how well your body’s systems are working, not just whether you’re “within range.” Unlike conventional labs that look for disease, functional tests uncover biochemical and metabolic imbalances that contribute to symptoms like low energy, poor digestion, weight fluctuation, and mood changes.
At BionwoRx: Center for Functional and Regenerative Medicine in Carmel, IN, we use functional testing to create personalized treatment plans that target the root cause of dysfunction rather than masking symptoms.
