Did you know?
Most people are deficient in at least one critical nutrient — and have NO idea.
And conventional labs often miss it entirely.
Here’s why this matters 👇
Standard blood panels test for disease. Functional medicine tests for OPTIMAL health. There’s a big difference between “not sick” and “thriving.”
⚠️ The most common deficiencies we see in our patients:
🔹 Magnesium — affects 300+ enzyme reactions. Low levels = anxiety, poor sleep, muscle cramps, fatigue
🔹 Vitamin D — critical for immunity, mood, bone health & hormone balance. Most people in the US are low.
🔹 B12 — essential for brain function & energy. Especially common in vegetarians, vegans & those on Metformin
🔹 Iron/Ferritin — even “normal” iron can be too low for optimal energy & hair health
🔹 Zinc — foundational for immune function, skin, hormones & gut repair
🔹 Omega-3s — most Americans are chronically low, driving inflammation throughout the body
đź’ˇ The tricky part?
Deficiencies don’t always look like deficiencies. They can show up as:
• Brain fog
• Chronic fatigue
• Mood swings or depression
• Hair thinning
• Frequent illness
• Poor recovery
These symptoms are real — and they deserve a real answer. Not just “your labs look fine.”
✅ At Fusion Integrative & Functional Medicine, we run comprehensive micronutrient testing to find YOUR gaps — then build a targeted plan to fill them.
Because thriving isn’t optional. It’s the goal. 🌿
