Conventional vs Functional Analysis
Conventional analysis, while considered the gold standard in today's medical practice, centers solely on the diagnosis of disease. The laboratory ranges used to establish a diagnosis tend to identify pathology related to the disease being tested for. But few patients realize that every lab service and every geographic location has a different set of patients and therefore highs and lows which your doctor basis a diagnosis on. Put simply, lab work is interpreted differently if you are in San Diego, Denver or Miami!
Often conventional analysis is not very useful as an early detection system because it lacks the ability to identify any tendencies that could ultimately lead to disease later on. Additionally, in an effort to decrease overall patient costs by insurance companies, conventional laboratory tests have become very minimalist in nature and no longer provide the treating physician with a truly comprehensive health picture, leading to the inability to clearly identify the true cause of the dysfunction or disease.
Functional analysis, on the other hand, is preventative in nature and utilizes a different set of laboratory ranges (set forth by the American Association for Clinical Chemistry) . The goal is to identify patterns and tendencies within your blood so that pathology never manifests and disease is averted. Additionally, functional analysis utilizes very comprehensive and detailed laboratory reports to establish the big picture of how well your body is functioning on all levels, allowing our doctors to address any concerns naturally through lifestyle modification, dietary recommendations, and supplement protocols.

Steamboat Springs
Until December of 2008, I had been looking for a Health Practitioner that could address whole body health and the Natural Holistic approach was the main criteria that led me to Dr. Hollaman. Various referrals led me to seek out his expertise and care. WOW!! I had always thought that I was healthy, and as far as meals were concerned, I knew that I ate the right foods. When it came to snacks, Dr. Hollaman's analysis of my blood work indicated that I had been eating all of the wrong stuff. He got my attention with the words "You are a walking time-bomb". With a combination of adjustments, nutritional supplements, and the discovery of various food sensitivities through his testing methods, my bad numbers from my first blood test have been improved to nearly normal and acceptable ranges. I have lost five inches in my waist size and I feel great. With his help, I feel younger and have far more energy than someone my age should be allowed. I highly recommend Dr. Hollaman and the Red Tail Wellness Center to anyone who wants to do something really good for themselves.
