Vitamin Deficiency
Description
Vitamins are essential for countless biochemical reactions in the body—from energy production and detoxification to immune response and brain function. When levels are too low, even slightly, the body can’t perform optimally. Functional medicine identifies and addresses vitamin deficiencies that may be contributing to fatigue, mood swings, hair loss, poor digestion, or chronic disease. Rather than relying on generic multivitamins, we use comprehensive nutrient testing to create targeted supplementation plans, while improving absorption, gut health, and dietary intake. This root-cause approach can lead to significant improvements in energy, mental clarity, and overall vitality.

Labs/Tests
Hair Mineral Analysis
B12
Magnesium, RBC
25-hydroxy vitamin D
Homocysteine (B6, B12, folate status)
Vibrant micronutrient panel
Organic acids test (functional nutrient markers)
Zinc, copper, selenium, iron, and ferritin

Fat-soluble vitamin status (A, D, E, K)
Treatment Options
Personalized, bioavailable supplementation (e.g., methylated B vitamins, liposomal C)
Gut healing protocols to improve absorption
Nutrient-dense diet (e.g., organ meats, leafy greens, pastured eggs, seafood)
IV nutrient therapy (glutathione, Myers' cocktail, B-complex)
Detox support if toxins impair absorption or increase nutrient demand
Addressing medications that deplete nutrients (e.g., metformin, PPIs, statins)
Stress management and adrenal support
Repletion followed by maintenance and periodic monitoring
