The Strategy Call is a 1-on-1 clinical consultation with Dr. Ungemach to review your symptom history, previous test results, and determine which functional lab panels are right for your case. Once you complete the symptom qualification assessment, a $47 booking deposit holds your dedicated appointment time and is applied 100% directly as a credit toward your lab testing package if you proceed.
-
We calculate fees based on scope, complexity, lab fees and projected resources, then present a transparent proposal explaining everything in detail.
-

Most patients report noticeable reductions in bloating, gas, and post-meal fatigue within 2 to 4 weeks of eliminating their primary IgG food triggers and starting targeted gut lining support. Because the intestinal mucosal lining regenerates every 5 to 7 days, rapid cellular improvement is possible when inflammatory triggers are removed and our recommended supplements are taken as scheduled.

A root-cause approach (often called functional or holistic medicine) focuses on why an illness developed upstream, whereas allopathic (conventional) medicine primarily focuses on diagnosing and managing existing symptoms and diseases.
Allopathic care generally applies broad, guideline-based treatments for specific disease labels. A root-cause approach builds highly individualized plans tailored to a person's unique genetics, environment, and diet.
Allopathic medicine relies heavily on prescription drugs and surgical procedures. A root-cause model emphasizes lifestyle modifications, targeted nutrition, and specialized or deep functional testing such as comprehensive microbiome or micronutrient analysis.
Conventional medicine is essential for ruling out acute structural pathology (like ulcers, inflammatory bowel disease, or tumors via endoscopies/colonoscopies). However, when structural tests come back clean, standard medicine often diagnoses 'IBS' and offers symptom management like antacids or PPIs. Our functional medicine approach uses comprehensive delayed food antibody panels, microbiome sequencing, deficiency and toxicity testing with leaky gut markers to find and repair the functional root cause.
