Sneezing. Itchy eyes. Runny nose. Chronic cough. Allergies aren’t just a seasonal annoyance—they’re a sign that your immune system is overreacting. At Patients Medical in New York City, we don’t just prescribe antihistamines. We uncover why your immune system is inflamed and treat the underlying imbalances using functional and integrative medicine.
We treat the whole person—not just the allergies.
Allergies are an overreaction of your immune system to substances (called allergens) that are normally harmless, such as pollen, pet dander, mold, or certain foods. When your immune system mistakes these triggers as threats, it releases histamine and other inflammatory chemicals—leading to classic allergy symptoms.
Common Allergy Types:
Chemical Sensitivities: Fragrances, cleaning products, pollutants
Symptoms can vary by type and severity, but common signs include:
If your allergies are persistent or impacting your quality of life, it’s time to explore the root causes.
Rather than suppressing symptoms with medications alone, our functional medicine approach investigates what’s causing your immune system to overreact.
Common Root Triggers Include:
We use cutting-edge functional lab testing to identify hidden causes:
✅ IgG/IgE food and environmental sensitivity panels
✅ Comprehensive stool testing (microbiome, pathogens, inflammation markers)
✅ Leaky gut markers (zonulin, LPS antibodies)
✅ Vitamin D and immune nutrient levels
✅ Heavy metals and environmental toxins
✅ Mold and mycotoxin testing
✅ Adrenal stress profile (4-point cortisol test)
We create anti-inflammatory, allergen-free diets to lower immune reactivity and heal the gut.
We use science-backed supplements to calm inflammation and rebalance immunity:
IV therapy delivers targeted nutrients directly into your bloodstream to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress:
We address leaky gut and microbiome imbalances using:
Mucosal healing compounds
Chronic stress weakens the immune system. We support resilience with:
We help reduce your total toxic load:

We initiated a 90-day protocol with:
By month three, Ethan reported minimal allergy symptoms, improved focus, and no longer needed antihistamines.
Yes. By addressing the root causes—like gut health, nutrient status, and toxin exposure—many people experience significant symptom relief without relying on daily meds.
Not necessarily. Once the immune system is balanced and the gut is healed, many patients can tolerate previous triggers again.
Yes. We use advanced IgG, IgE, and gut-based testing that go beyond skin prick tests to uncover hidden triggers.
