Metabolic Medicine – Root Cause Diagnosis, Natural Treatments & Integrative Care

Why Metabolic Health Needs a New Approach

Metabolic conditions are at the root of many chronic illnesses—diabetes, fatigue, weight gain, inflammation, and even brain fog. At Patients Medical in New York City, our integrative approach to metabolic medicine combines advanced diagnostics with functional therapies to identify root causes, rebalance your systems, and restore vitality. We don’t just mask symptoms—we optimize your metabolism at the cellular level.

What Is Metabolic Medicine?

Metabolic medicine focuses on how the body converts food into energy, manages hormones, and regulates weight, blood sugar, and inflammation. When these systems are out of sync, conditions like insulin resistance, chronic fatigue, hypothyroidism, and metabolic syndrome develop. Our practice treats these issues with precision, addressing not just the symptoms, but the entire biochemical process behind them.

Common Symptoms of Metabolic Dysfunction

Root Causes We Investigate

Using functional medicine, we uncover why your metabolism isn’t working efficiently. Common root issues include:

Advanced Diagnostic Testing

Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, glucose, A1C

Cortisol curve (saliva or urine)

Full thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3/T4, antibodies)

Comprehensive stool analysis (gut dysbiosis, leaky gut)

Organic acids test (mitochondrial health, nutrient status)

Heavy metal testing

Hormone panels (cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid)

Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine)

Integrative Treatments for Metabolic Dysfunction

Nutrition Support

We personalize anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic, and hormone-balancing meal plans based on your lab results. These diets support blood sugar control, energy stability, and gut repair. We may incorporate intermittent fasting, Mediterranean principles, or gluten-free plans depending on your metabolic type. Meal plans are built to fuel your mitochondria, reduce cravings, and reverse insulin resistance naturally.

Nutritional-Support

Targeted Supplementation

Based on test results, we use physician-guided nutraceuticals such as berberine, magnesium, chromium, alpha-lipoic acid, NAC, and adaptogens. These supplements support glucose metabolism, mitochondrial energy production, detoxification, and hormone balance. We never guess—every recommendation is based on your labs and designed to optimize metabolic performance at the cellular level.

IV Vitamin & Mitochondrial Therapy

Our IV therapies deliver high doses of nutrients like B-complex, CoQ10, glutathione, and L-carnitine directly into your bloodstream for immediate cellular support. These IVs boost energy, reduce inflammation, enhance detoxification, and support mitochondrial repair—essential for reversing fatigue and restoring vitality in metabolic dysfunction.

Stress Recovery & Adrenal Rebalancing

We support adrenal function and stress hormone balance with personalized protocols that may include adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola), meditation, acupuncture, and lifestyle coaching. Chronic stress is a metabolic saboteur. By restoring the cortisol curve and improving sleep and emotional resilience, we unlock your body’s ability to heal and lose weight.

Hormone Optimization

Imbalances in thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, or insulin can sabotage metabolism. We use bioidentical hormone therapy, detox support, and endocrine-focused nutrition to restore balance. By optimizing hormonal pathways, patients experience improved energy, weight loss, mental clarity, and fewer mood swings. Hormone health is foundational to lasting metabolic improvement.

Detox & Cellular Repair

Environmental toxins impair mitochondrial function and hormone receptors. We support detoxification using glutathione, binders, liver support, and detox pathways like methylation (MTHFR). Combined with sauna, clean nutrition, and hydration, detox therapies help reduce inflammation, improve metabolism, and restore cellular vitality.

Real Case Study: Jason’s Transformation

Jason, 39, came in with chronic fatigue, brain fog, and 30 pounds of stubborn belly fat. Labs revealed insulin resistance, low testosterone, high cortisol, and early thyroid dysfunction. We customized a 4-month protocol with mitochondrial IV therapy, adaptogenic herbs, intermittent fasting, and testosterone support. Jason lost 22 pounds, reversed his insulin resistance, and regained his energy and libido

ne balancing,
patients can normalize their blood sugar.

Yes. With dietary changes, supplements, stress reduction, detox, and hormone balancing, many people fully reverse metabolic syndrome and restore normal lab values.

Symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, sugar cravings, and cold intolerance may signal poor metabolism. We confirm this with hormone panels, glucose testing, and mitochondrial function labs.

 Yes. If testing shows deficiencies or imbalances, we may recommend bioidentical thyroid, estrogen, or testosterone therapy as part of a personalized plan.

 Very. We look beyond blood sugar or thyroid numbers to assess mitochondrial health, adrenal function, gut integrity, and detoxification to fully support metabolic healing.

 We are an out-of-network provider. We offer superbills for potential reimbursement and work with labs that may be partially covered by insurance.
