Your naturopathic doctor will take the time for a full health history, and suggest certain functional tests that can identify hormone imbalance, nutrient deficiencies, sources of inflammation, and microbial overgrowth. The results of these tests guide the ND to create a personalized protocol to address any underlying problems that can be affecting your full health potential. Addressing these concerns can stimulate your body’s natural healing ability, and help to reach your health goals.
