Personalized Health Assessment

The Functional Wellness approach involves a personalized health assessment to create the most efficient health plan for each individual patient.

1. Comprehensive blood testing and screening

At Dr. Tara Rasta, we will either look at your previous blood chemistry results or order you a new blood test to understand your markers and how each system is functioning. This will help us understand if you have excess or deficiency of a specific marker in your body, and help us understand the inflammatory process of your body.

2. Brain health assessment

A brain health assessment helps us understand the overall chemistry of your brain— i.e. how the neurotransmitters ( the hormones of your brain) may be affecting your overall health and wellness goals. This will help us give you specific exercises and nutrition to help you achieve optimal levels and overcome symptoms associated with deficiency associated with these chemicals.

3. Metabolic assessment & food sensitivity testing

This form helps us understand how different organs in your body are functioning such that if there is a gut problem, food sensitivity or intolerance, issues concerning the different enzymes in the body, how your body uses sugar and some of the hormones that may be impacting your mood and overall well being.

4. Comprehensive evaluation of health history

We will go through your health history, what has been done before and what can be done now. We will do an exam to see what may be the root cause of the issue and create a plan to get your health back on track.

5. Personalized nutrition plan

We will create a nutritional protocol for you based on your assessment forms as well as diagnostic testing that can be done to give us more detailed information about your unique health profile. We will also help you find the best exercise regimen for you to help you detox toxicity and reorganize your health to a higher state of function.
