A. Testing for Functional Medicine 功能醫學相關檢驗

Functional Medicine — Taking an integrative approach to identify the root causes of disease, treating the underlying causes rather than merely addressing symptoms, offering a new mindset and practical guidelines for modern medicine.

Functional medicine transforms the traditional disease-centered medical model into a patient-centered approach to health care, integrating various medical systems with a focus on the person as a whole, rather than treating only symptoms. Functional medicine practitioners spend more time understanding the patient, listening to their history, and evaluating the complex interactions among genetics, environment, and lifestyle factors — which may seem subtle but have a significant impact on health and complex chronic diseases over time. Therefore, functional medicine emphasizes personalized precision medicine, supports the restoration of bodily functions, promotes non-pharmacological disease prevention, and encourages incorporating healthy practices into daily life to restore optimal function.

Functional medicine is human-centered, valuing holistic health — encompassing physical, psychological, social, and spiritual well-being and recovery — and integrates preventive medicine, nutritional medicine, lifestyle medicine, sleep medicine, and other extended therapies to achieve longevity and a healthier life.

Below is an overview of functional medicine testing and their clinical significance:

B. Genetic Health Screening for Hereditary Risk 遺傳性健康基因檢測

This testing focuses on susceptibility genes associated with various common diseases such as cancer, chronic and cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, and other major health conditions. It also includes genes related to alcohol flush reaction, fat absorption efficiency, muscle endurance, and more. By decoding our genetic sequences and understanding our unique genetic makeup, we can plan comprehensive health management strategies — enabling early detection, prevention, and treatment of potential diseases.

Available Genetic Tests

Cancer Susceptibility Gene Testing
Hereditary Cancer Gene Testing
ctDNA Cancer Gene Testing
Thematic Genetic Panels
Nutrigenomics (Nutrition Gene Testing)
Skin-related Genetic Testing
Longevity Gene Testing
Pharmacogenomics (Drug Response Genetic Testing)
Colorectal Cancer Gene Testing
Personalized Genetic Testing

C. Testing for Your Sleep Quality 睡眠醫學檢驗

Integrative Medicine — Sleep Medicine: A large body of research has shown the benefits of getting good sleep every day, including its impact on immune cells such as T cells. These immune cells help fight intracellular pathogens.

German sleep experts compared T cells during sleep and wakefulness and found that the level of activated integrins in T cells was higher during sleep than while awake, demonstrating sleep's ability to improve T-cell immune function. In addition, clinical studies have shown that people with poor sleep quality or insufficient sleep are more likely to get sick after being exposed to a virus.

During nighttime sleep, the immune system operates to protect and maintain the body appropriately, because after falling asleep, the secretion of hormones such as growth hormone, prolactin, and melatonin increases, collectively promoting the growth and differentiation of immune cells.

On the other hand, while asleep, the secretion of cortisol and epinephrine is reduced. However, if sleep quality is poor, these hormones may continue to be released, potentially suppressing the proper functioning of T cells and thus reducing immune performance. Long-term fatigue and insomnia can lead to an imbalance of sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system function, hormonal dysregulation, and disruption of the immune system. If sleep problems occur, it is recommended to consult a sleep medicine specialist as soon as possible, because healthy sleep is more effective and safer than any supplement or medication.

Sleep Disorders and Stress Management

Sleep problems have become a modern health epidemic. Insufficient sleep time and poor sleep quality increase the risk of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, weakened immunity, and mental illnesses. Therefore, achieving a full night of restorative sleep has become a critical need for most people.

Using specialized functional tests and scientific diagnostic equipment as the basis, along with professional, evidence-based, non-pharmacological therapies, integrative medicine can help clients who suffer from poor sleep quality or stress-related sleep disturbances to effectively resolve their sleep concerns.

Sleep Testing and Analysis

Through a two-stage sleep testing and analysis device, physicians can more precisely assess your actual sleep quality and determine whether you have obstructive sleep apnea and its severity. This allows for early prevention and more accurate treatment.

Recommendations for Obstructive Sleep Apnea Improvement, Medical Procedures, and Referrals

For clients with varying degrees of obstructive sleep apnea, professional recommendations, surgical evaluation and treatment, or referral services to major medical centers will be provided to ensure effective and comprehensive care.

D. Preventive Medicine — Personalized Health Checkup Programs 預防醫學—個人化健康檢查

Each person's health status varies due to inherent genetic factors as well as personal habits and environmental influences.

As modern people become more health-conscious, regular health checkups have become a routine way to monitor personal well-being. To enhance the benefits of health examinations, we design fully customized, personalized checkup programs tailored to each guest's health condition and family genetic history. These can include full-body health screening or targeted themed checkups for cancer prevention, cardiovascular disease, gastrointestinal endoscopy, metabolism, and more.

Guests will be referred to high-end, comfortable health examination centers equipped with advanced diagnostic devices such as MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, X-rays, and other specialized testing equipment. Examinations are performed by experienced physicians across multiple specialties, and a dedicated health secretary will accompany guests to hear the doctor's explanations after testing and help plan any necessary follow-up for abnormalities. This ensures guests can enjoy a more professional, reassuring, and effective health examination experience.

Personal and Family Health Management Consultation and Follow-Up

Personal and family health are invaluable and closely related. We care about the health of every guest and their family members. Our professional medical team provides personal and family health management services based on individual and family medical conditions, test results, and hereditary disease risks.

Green Medical Referral Channels and Assistance Services

For guests who require follow-up medical referrals after their checkups, we will arrange green channel referrals for timely treatment and also provide access to professional second-opinion consultation services.
