Nutrition deficiencies are often overlooked in the conventional medical field, but they can have far-reaching effects on your overall health. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond addressing isolated symptoms. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to uncover the root causes of your nutritional deficiencies and address them with personalized, natural solutions.
We treat the whole person—not just the individual symptoms.

Common nutrient deficiencies include:
Functional medicine seeks to understand the “why” behind health issues. In the case of nutrition deficiencies, several factors may contribute:
At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostic testing to determine which nutrients you may be lacking and uncover any underlying conditions contributing to these deficiencies:
Julia, a 38-year-old woman, came to us feeling constantly fatigued and struggling with anxiety. Her blood tests revealed low levels of vitamin D, magnesium, and B12. After a comprehensive evaluation, we designed an integrative treatment plan that included:
Within three months, Julia reported improved energy levels, reduced anxiety, and better overall health. Her follow-up tests showed a significant improvement in her nutrient levels.

Improvements vary depending on the severity of the deficiencies and your treatment plan. Many patients notice an increase in energy and well-being within a few weeks, while some may take several months for full recovery.
Yes, we use blood tests to measure vitamin and mineral levels, gut health panels to assess absorption, and hormone tests to identify potential contributing factors like cortisol imbalances.
Supplements may be needed initially to correct deficiencies, but with the right diet and lifestyle changes, many patients can reduce or eliminate the need for supplements over time. We focus on long-term, sustainable health through nutrition.
IV vitamin therapies are generally safe but should be used under medical supervision, especially if you have any underlying health conditions. We assess your health and customize the IV treatments accordingly.
Chronic stress, poor sleep, and lack of physical activity can deplete essential nutrients and hinder the body’s ability to absorb them. We incorporate stress-reduction and lifestyle changes to enhance nutrient absorption and overall health.
Yes, long-term nutrition deficiencies can contribute to chronic health problems, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and cognitive decline. Addressing deficiencies early can help prevent these issues.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we offer superbills for insurance reimbursement. Some lab tests and treatments may be partially covered by your insurance plan.
