When it comes to changing the way the world views mental health, one voice remains consistent, science-based, empathetic, and passionate. That’s Brendan Vermeire. Brendan is dedicated to advancing the science of mental health dysfunction through his research, teaching, writing, and speaking. Here in functional and precision medicine, we are always looking for the root cause of any dysfunction. However, Brendan reminds us that mental health can have several root causes that need to be addressed and many of us are falling short when it comes to treating patients with mental illness.

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.
