A lot of the functional medicine/ integrated doctors I did phone consults with discussed doing further testing (beyond what traditional medicine doctors would order) on vitamin/ mineral/ hormone levels to check for imbalances that need correcting (instead of just prescribing a pill to fix a problem, they want to find and address the root cause of it to tackle). I did the Nutreval test and am considering doing further tests, although each are about $300-500 out of pocket.
