Comprehensive Blood Work
Comprehensive Blood Work Panel for Holistic Healthcare in Manhattan, New York, and Stamford, Connecticut
At the New York Center for Integrative Health, we believe that health care should go beyond treating the symptoms and focus on bringing each patient to their optimum level of health. At our practice in New York, New York, we conduct standard lab tests as well as comprehensive functional medicine blood work panels. Our approach though, since we take a functional medicine and naturopathic medicine perspective, is to look much more deeply. More than your typical health assessment, we take a comprehensive look at a variety of indicators of health that can predict or uncover chronic issues.
How Bloodwork Helps Us Treat Our Patients
Just like regular temperature readings and blood pressure vary from person to person, so do the bloodwork results. Moreover, what is normal for one person may be abnormal for the next person. We work to understand whether your test results are within an optimal range based on your unique situation, body composition, personal health history, and family health history. We also consider your long-term health-related goals to ensure that you have a thorough understanding of achieving optimal sustainable health.
This approach is called Precision Medicine. The goal of Precision Medicine is to look at blood work from a clear and personalized perspective. Rather than treating symptoms from a one-size-fits-all approach, we focus on each patient’s genetics, lifestyle, and environment. Our comprehensive blood work is state-of-the-art, and we look at everything necessary to ensure that the person is getting the care they need, such as hormones, nutrients, and vitamins.
Helping You Get the Answers You Need
Many people have a similar experience: They do not feel well. Their energy is low. They are often in a terrible mood. Aches and pains seem to find them more often than their peers. Yet, when they go to the doctor and get testing done, everything seems “normal”. Often, these same people are told that their symptoms are “all in their head” and that perhaps an antidepressant may help. Does this sound like you?
At the New York Center for Integrative Health, we understand that nobody knows your body as well as your do. We will work with you to uncover the root cause of your suffering. As your healthcare detectives, we will partner with you to determine what limits your ability to thrive and feel your best.

Importance of comprehensive blood work and IV therapy explained by Dr. Kachko
Hi, this is Dr. Robert Kachko. We take a comprehensive, holistic look at your health care needs.
To understand what your brain and body need, we have to do a thorough assessment to look and find the root cause of what’s keeping you from feeling your best.
For most of our patients, that comprehensive assessment often starts with blood work.
What can be analyzed through blood work?
We can use comprehensive blood work to look at lipids and high cholesterol, inflammation, elevated blood sugar, and insulin resistance.
We can assess for essential nutrients, minerals, vitamins, and fats. We can look to see how your hormones are functioning and balance them.
We can also see if there are any environmental causes that might contribute to how you’re feeling. This can be things like heavy metals or infections due to different viruses.
What are the steps taken after a comprehensive analysis of blood work?
Once we get a comprehensive look at the human body, we can create a targeted treatment plan. One of the most powerful therapies to help each individual with a personalized plan is IV nutrient therapy.
When it comes to IV therapy, we can help the body more efficiently by giving the body what it needs in terms of vitamins and minerals, antioxidants, targeted botanicals, and precisely recommended prescriptions.
What are the benefits of IV Therapy?
Once an individual gets IV therapy based on their unique needs, the body has an opportunity to flourish. Chronic conditions can be prevented and sometimes even be reversed.
We first do an intense assessment and then create a customized treatment plan.
Alongside IV therapy, this plan might include things like acupuncture, mind-body medicine, and targeted nutraceuticals.
Dr. Robert Kachko, Founder and Director of the NY Center for Integrative Health, is a pioneer in Naturopathic and Integrative Medicine and has developed an extensive bio-psychosocial methodology for people living with chronic diseases.
