Functional medicine is a patient-centered, science-based approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause of diseases. This approach takes all symptoms a patient may be experiencing and pieces them together to figure out what is causing a patient’s illness. There may be many causes of illness, so that is why it is important to look at every aspect of a person’s life (genetic, environmental, mental, emotional, biochemical) and make changes as needed to improve health.
By addressing the root cause of a person’s symptoms, our clinic for functional medicine and holistic health in McKinney can combat illness and educate patients on maintaining a healthy lifestyle to prevent disease going forward. This is done through assessing a patient’s blood work, getting a detailed history of their life/past medical history, utilizing Applied Kinesiology during the examination, and creating a customized treatment plan that focuses on lifestyle changes and supplementation as needed.

Applied Kinesiology is a hands on muscle testing technique that tests the nervous system to figure out what imbalances are present. This technique allows us to figure out what organ dysfunction is present, determine the root cause of it, and treat specifically for what your body needs.
We use a wide variety of testing such as blood work, stool testing, and urine analysis to analyze a wide variety of markers. We can do a comprehensive panel or customize labs that fit to your needs. These tests are used in conjunction with muscle testing to achieve overall wellness.
Lifestyle changes are essential with getting better. Such changes can be through exercising, making healthy dietary modifications, going more non-toxic with lifestyle at home, and other changes Dr. Julia recommends. These things are vital to feeling better and are done to help with a few things like manage blood sugar, decrease inflammation, improve hormone and metabolic health, improve sleep, as well as develop healthy habits
Specific supplements (vitamins, herbs, antioxidants, minerals) are chosen through muscle testing to figure out what your body needs to achieve optimal health and treat the root causes in the body.
