Going Beyond Symptoms to Find the Root Cause
At House of Valor, we don’t believe in quick fixes or masking symptoms. We believe that lasting health and peak performance come from understanding the why behind your health challenges. This is where Root Cause Functional Medicine & Diagnostic Testing comes in.
Unlike the standard healthcare model, which often treats symptoms once they appear, our approach digs deeper. We use cutting-edge testing and a personalized analysis to uncover underlying imbalances, triggers, and risks that may be affecting your health, performance, or longevity.
This is not an optional add-on—it is integrated into how we care for every member. Because identifying the root cause is the only way to create real solutions that align with your values, goals, and priorities.
Advanced Blood Work Testing
Your blood tells a powerful story. Traditional blood panels often only scratch the surface, focusing on a limited number of markers. At House of Valor, we utilize advanced blood work testing to gain a more complete picture of your metabolic, inflammatory, immune, and nutritional status.
Our comprehensive panels may include:
- Food Sensitivity Testing – Identifying subtle triggers that cause inflammation, fatigue, gut dysfunction, or brain fog.
- Autoimmune Panels – Detecting early immune activation to identify potential autoimmune processes before they become disabling.
- Inflammatory Markers – Assessing silent inflammation that increases risk for cardiovascular disease, metabolic dysfunction, or chronic pain.
- Micronutrient Testing – Measuring vitamin, mineral, and antioxidant levels that support cellular performance and recovery.
These insights allow us to build a highly individualized plan—addressing deficiencies, lowering inflammation, and restoring balance.
Gut Permeability Testing
The gut is central to whole-body health. Disruptions in the gut lining—often called “leaky gut” or intestinal permeability”—allow toxins, bacteria, and undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream, triggering immune activation and systemic inflammation.
Our gut permeability testing helps identify:
- Compromised intestinal lining
- Food sensitivity–driven inflammation
- Dysbiosis (imbalances in gut bacteria)
- Early autoimmune risk markers
By restoring gut integrity, patients often experience improved digestion, less bloating, reduced joint pain, clearer skin, better energy, and sharper cognition.
Blood-Brain Barrier Integrity Testing
The blood-brain barrier is a protective shield that prevents toxins and inflammatory molecules from entering the brain. When compromised, it can contribute to symptoms such as:
- Brain fog
- Memory lapses
- Fatigue
- Mood disorders
- Neurological decline
Through specialized diagnostic testing, we evaluate blood-brain barrier integrity and identify triggers that may be fueling cognitive dysfunction. By addressing these factors, we support sharper focus, long-term brain health, and resilience under stress.
Autoimmunity Workups
Autoimmune conditions often take years to fully declare themselves, yet the immune dysregulation begins much earlier. With advanced autoimmune panels, we can detect antibodies that indicate the immune system may be turning against healthy tissues.
Early detection allows for:
- Preventive lifestyle and nutritional interventions
- Reduction of inflammatory triggers
- Strategies to halt or slow disease progression
Our goal is to reduce the burden of autoimmune disease before it disrupts your life and performance.
Integrated Approach: Root Cause + Personalized Care
Root Cause Functional Medicine is not just about running more labs—it’s about what we do with that information. At House of Valor, Dr. Rachel Dhani and Dr. Joseph Dhani integrate these insights into every member’s care.
Dr. Rachel Dhani, sports medicine physician, applies root cause diagnostics to optimize performance, recovery, and resilience—whether for elite athletes or high-achieving professionals.
Dr. Joseph Dhani, chiropractor, ensures spinal and musculoskeletal health aligns with whole-body optimization, addressing inflammation, movement dysfunction, and recovery.
Together, they provide a high-touch, concierge-level approach where no detail is overlooked, and every member benefits from executive-level care.
Why It Matters for High Achievers
High-achieving professionals and athletes cannot afford to operate at 70%. Hidden inflammation, silent autoimmunity, or unresolved gut dysfunction can drain focus, energy, and recovery. That’s why we bring the same elite-level diagnostics often reserved for professional athletes into the care of every House of Valor member.
Our members choose us because they want:
- Answers, not just symptom management
- Early detection of silent risks
- Personalized, actionable plans
- Concierge guidance and follow-through
This is not alternative medicine—it is advanced, evidence-based, precision care designed for those who value their health as one of their greatest assets.
The House of Valor Way
At House of Valor, Root Cause Functional Medicine & Diagnostic Testing isn’t an extra “program”—it’s foundational to how we practice medicine. Every member receives this level of attention and detail because it’s the only way to deliver truly preventive, personalized, and performance-driven care.
Your health should never be left to guesswork or late-stage intervention. By uncovering the root causes today, we empower you to perform at your best—in your career, on the field, and at home.
