Functional medicine focuses on discovering underlying symptoms of poor health through physical exam, blood chemistry testing and advanced lab testing. From these Dr. Serle develops an integrative treatment plan that addresses these issues.

Blood testing in Florida involves determining functional range, which indicates the body's risk for developing disease. Biomarkers that can be managed before disease occurs is a hallmark of preventive medicine, which is practiced by few physicians. Advanced lab testing such as adrenal stress testing, gastrointestinal analysis, RBC mineral testing and more, can contribute to a preventive medicine program. Heart-rate variability testing and biofeedback testing play important roles in developing stress reduction, which is also important to overall health.
