“Gluten” has become a buzzword in the diet industry and vilified in the court of public opinion – perhaps rightfully so. People are continually looking for gluten-free labels in the grocery store and on restaurant menus trying to be healthier. But why? What is gluten anyway? How does it affect our health?

The world of medicine can be challenging. Clinicians and patients are always looking for more options, more effective treatments… and in the end, more answers. What if there was a way to practice medicine that digs deeper and offers a new perspective? Functional medicine focuses on addressing root causes of disease. At Genova Diagnostics we’ve watched this field evolve and grow for over 35 years….

We’ve not only adapted, we’ve led. Join us as we talk about functional medicine, laboratory testing, and optimizing health. Welcome to the Lab Report.
