Dr. Scanlan’s initial evaluation includes a current assessment of your blood. This gives her an idea of your basic metabolic state, such as glucose, lipids, red blood cell and white blood cell counts, autoimmune markers, vitamin D, thyroid levels, and other hormones. She commonly evaluates food allergies as well, since they can be the underlying cause of many illnesses. After analyzing all of your results, Dr. Scanlan creates an individual treatment plan based on your unique needs.
