Getting to the root cause of reproductive challenges
At Blue Ova we offer personalized, integrative healthcare through functional medicine. Often there are root causes that are not detected with routine lab work, and functional lab tests help clarify a patient's condition and reveal the steps needed to establish optimal health.
Our functional medicine practitioners use functional medicine labs alongside patient history and symptom review, to evaluate body system imbalances holistically. The labs are a vital piece to a thorough functional health assessment.

What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a branch of medical care that focuses on finding and treating the underlying causes of health problems in a person’s life. Functional medicine can provide an alternative or adjunctive care option to those struggling with infertility or reproductive challenges. It is a highly patient-specific investigative medicine that looks at the patient as a whole, from nutrition and lifestyle to biochemistry, genetics, and environmental exposure.
