Where do I Start?, Which labs should I get done?

At VIVAIRE, we find the right path for you. You don't need every single lab drawn, and you don't need to follow an elimination diet — that might not be the right path for you. Podcasts and books are nice, but they aren't personalized for you.

It starts with personalized labs, then comes to life through diet and life style recommendations specific to your life, body, and goals.

WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?

Functional medicine is a personalized, science-based approach to health that looks deeper than surface-level symptoms. It considers the full context of your life — including your genetics, environment, nutrition, lifestyle habits, stress levels, and more — to uncover the root cause of imbalance or dysfunction.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, functional medicine recognizes that each person’s body is different. Two people might share the same diagnosis, but the underlying causes — and the solutions — are rarely the same. By connecting the dots between symptoms and systems, we create targeted, long-term solutions that support healing at the source.

At Vivaire, functional medicine is not just about “what’s wrong.” It’s about what’s possible when your body is supported holistically, and empowered to thrive.

BEFORE WE GLOW, WE HEAL

At Vivaire, we go deeper than surface symptoms—because your skin, mood, hormones, and energy are all connected.
We help uncover what your body is trying to say, so we can restore balance from within.
The result? Inner healing that supports long-term, radiant beauty.

WHAT WE TEST FOR

At Vivaire, our advanced functional testing explores the full picture of your health.

We assess hormone balance through cycle mapping, thyroid, and adrenal function; gut health by analyzing the microbiome, pathogens, and SIBO; and nutrients and metabolism to detect micronutrient deficiencies and insulin resistance.

We also evaluate detoxification and methylation pathways, test for immune and inflammatory markers including food sensitivities and histamine levels, and screen for environmental toxins like mold, plastics, and VOCs.

For a deeper look into emotional and cognitive wellbeing, we offer neurotransmitter testing focused on mood, focus, and stress response — along with genetic and epigenetic testing to understand how your DNA influences your health from the inside out.

WE HELP YOU BUILD HABITS

We don’t stop at test results. We help you build habits, daily rituals, nourishing meals,
mindful movement that support long-term health and vitality.
