Pathological vs Functional Analysis: What’s the Difference?
For those familiar with regularly having annual blood work run by their primary care physician (PCP), then you probably didn’t know those tests are based on pathological findings, which are used by doctors to diagnose disease.
From a holisticA healing approach that looks at the whole person and not just their physical symptoms, in order to eradicate illness and produce well-being in the mind, body, and soul. perspective, there is another way to read bloodwork known as the functional analysis, which assesses the risk for the disease long before the pathological (or conventional) results can ever reveal. With that said the lab test results from your medical doctors utilize the pathological range, which typically identifies health issues as “normal” when indeed they are “out of order.”
By the time, the pathological results match up with the client’s actual symptoms, the potential for disease is much higher prompting more rigorous medical treatment. Through functional (or optimal) analysis, results are analyzed using tighter ranges and thus increase the ability to detect metabolic health patterns and trends in the body early on. This method will help to pinpoint multiple nutritional and metabolic deficiencies as well as identify potential organ dysfunction.
Depending on the severity of your current symptoms, we recommend a full chemistry panel and CBC on every client to:
- Establish a working baseline, especially if you have not had any recent blood chemistry work done.
- To assess your current state of health and identify patterns and trends from previous testing.
- To use as an indicator for potential nutritional and/or metabolic imbalances and to establish a comprehensive holisticA healing approach that looks at the whole person and not just their physical symptoms, in order to eradicate illness and produce well-being in the mind, body, and soul. wellness plan.
In some cases, you may need to repeat the full chemistry panel and CBC on a biannual or annual basis.
