Dr. Lenz’s roles can be thought of as that of both a detective and teacher. She focuses on identifying and addressing the underlying cause of an illness, rather than just suppressing symptoms. Like all detectives, she uses a variety of tools in her investigations, including , detailed questionnaires, a thorough medical history and examination, and comprehensive laboratory tests (blood, urine, stool and saliva testing). She then will instruct you in the use of nutritional therapy, herbal medicine, supplements, stress management, detoxification, lifestyle changes, and—in some cases and only when necessary—prescription medications, to eliminate triggers and restore proper function and balance.
