Find the root cause. Then fix it in the right order. Functional Medicine in McKinney

When standard bloodwork says you're fine and you know you're not, Evoke 5 goes deeper.

Dr. Cas reviewing lab results with a patient

Functional medicine in McKinney starts with a simple idea: symptoms are clues, not the target. Your body’s systems are connected. A gut problem can show up as skin trouble, poor sleep can push blood sugar off course, and a toxin load can stall hormone work. So Dr. Cas tests first, then builds the plan.

Functional lab testing

A 100+ biomarker panel covering metabolic, hormonal, inflammatory, nutrient and cardiovascular markers, repeated through the year so progress is measured. Functional lab testing →

Gut health and food sensitivity testing

Dr. Cas estimates that 80 percent of what he addresses involves the gut. Stool testing maps your microbiome and inflammation; food sensitivity testing shows what your immune system reacts to. Gut health testing →

Mold, heavy metal and toxin testing

One urine panel checks heavy metals, mold toxins and environmental chemicals that standard bloodwork never measures. Toxin testing →

Micronutrient testing

Measures the vitamins and minerals inside your cells, and how well your body actually uses them. Micronutrient testing →

Genetic and MTHFR testing

Variants in genes like MTHFR can slow methylation, the process behind energy, mood, detox and hormone balance. Included in every membership. Genetic testing →

Mitochondrial and oxidative stress testing

Measures the strain on your cells’ energy systems directly, so treatment targets the cause of low energy instead of guessing. Oxidative stress testing →

Autism support program

A physician-directed, 90-day program for children and adolescents, built on genetic and toxin testing. It does not replace behavioral, speech or occupational therapy. Autism support program →

The order matters

Foundations come first: methylation, nutrients, hormones and daily habits. Deeper work follows when your data says your body is ready. See how that plays out over a year in the Optimal Patient Journey.

Over the years, a number of doctors have told me that I had inflammation. However, no one had ever told me how to get rid of it. Dr. Cas is working with me to reduce inflammation and heal my gut and detox my body on a cellular level.

Questions

What does a functional medicine doctor do differently?

Looks for the root cause instead of treating each symptom on its own. That means a deep look at your history, diet, lifestyle and environment, plus lab testing that goes well beyond a standard panel.

Is Dr. Cas a medical doctor?

Yes. Dr. Castel Santana is an MD and a board-certified family physician who completed residency at the University of Maryland, and a Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner. Prescriptions are part of his toolkit when they're warranted.

Which test should I start with?

Most people start with the full functional lab panel and genetic testing, both included in every membership. Gut, toxin and oxidative stress testing get added when your history or first results point that way.
