The Benzo Taper Doctor Patients Guide

Our practice offers an outpatient functional medicine-based benzo taper program. Our objective is to help you taper off benzos and guide you towards achieving an optimal life beyond benzos.

 

Our approach investigates the underlying causes of benzo dependence and withdrawal symptoms through functional medicine testing. Our goal is to address these root causes and aim to correct those. We incorporate lifestyle modifications and nutrient supplements to facilitate a smoother withdrawal process. Our multidisciplinary team is committed to helping you taper off Benzo and getting you to a place where you can have a fully functional life.

 

We have treatment options tailored to your needs. We prioritize your comfort, safety, and success throughout the tapering process, providing the guidance and support you need to achieve optimal results.

Please note that we do not work with any Insurance 

Functional Medicine Testing

​

We do extensive functional medicine testing to get a clearer picture of what is going on in your body’s ecosystem. This helps us identify and correct imbalances to make your tapering journey easier.
​
We order the test kits as soon as we get your demographics. 
 
Below are the comprehensive functional medicine testing you can expect to have with us.
1. Prodrome Scan Test: 

designed to identify biochemical deficiencies and imbalances, and 

assesses current plasmalogen levels and the body's capacity to make plasmalogens.

​

2. Neurotransmitter Test: 

3. Hair Mineral Test: This is a reliable tool to screen the dynamics of minerals and toxic mineral accumulation in the body. 

​

Additional Tests:

1. Gut Health Test

 

This testing provides a comprehensive assessment of complete gut health, assessing the root cause of most GI complaints. 

 

2. Nutritional Comprehensive Test

 
 This test helps determine the basis for these health conditions as it provides a comprehensive test for identifying functional nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies.

3. Hormone test

 
This test will provide a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites, as well as the patterns and distributions of each, giving us a visual result of the hormone pathways in a person’s body. 

 

​

5. Epigenetic aging Test

 

 This test is an aging algorithm that gives a more comprehensive picture of biological aging. It measures specific epigenetic patterns that are linked to aging and disease and compares that result against what would normally be expected for someone of your age. 

 

6. Food sensitivity Test

 

This test measures IgG antibodies which are associated with delayed food reactions.
