Functional Diagnostic Testing is a growing field of modern medicine. It offers a giant step forward in the prevention of many of society’s chronic diseases. fdt is able to help identify the underlying causes of many health conditions by combining the results of scientifically documented tests. These are not your standard medical tests but go the next level investigating the biochemical and metabolic glitches likely to cause a specific disease process. Poor eating, stress, environmental and chemical toxins, lack of exercise, all take a toll on your natural defenses. For a while your body was able to cope. But now, you may have noticed some changes: You probably don’t get enough sleep and when you do sleep you may catch yourself having to get up two, three or more times during the night. The food you eat simply does not satisfy you. Losing weight has never been more difficult. You may exercise, but something still does not feel right inside. You cant seem to put your finger on it. You simply don’t feel well, but you don’t have any obvious symptoms that would make you want to see your doctor. On the bad side, these puzzling non-specific symptoms may be an early warning that one or more of your body’s systems are malfunctioning. Just like the red warning light in your car that flashes when there is a problem with your engine, a physical symptom is a signal telling you that an underlying health problem needs to be corrected. Treating a symptom without uncovering the real cause is like placing a piece of black tape over the blinking red warning light. The consequences of this action are obviously an expensive engine overhaul. Unfortunately our bodies cant be overhauled and ignoring these chronic symptoms could eventually lead to a serious illness.
