Testing is an important part of a comprehensive naturopathic protocol.  After an initial consultation, Dr. Kim may recommend one or more tests to determine the presence of imbalances, deficiencies, and toxins that may be a part of the symptom picture. Such tests may include standard blood tests, and specialized tests such as urine, stool and hair tests that look at nutrient deficiencies, food allergies, hormone levels, heavy metal buildup, and neurotransmitter imbalances. Treatment includes two major categories: conditions and modalities.

Conditions include the following:

anxiety/depression	insomnia, allergies	pain management
women’s health (pregnancy, pre/post natal, menopause, fertility)	thyroid disorders	arthritis
hormone imbalances	GI health	migraines
sinusitis	infant/pediatric conditions	general wellness

Modalities include:

• diet & lifestyle
• supplements/herbal medicine/homeopathy
• acupuncture & Chinese medicine
• facial acupuncture
