Most people come to us with a list of symptoms.

• “I’m tired all the time.”
• “My digestion is a mess.”
• “I can’t lose weight no matter what.”
• “My cycle is all over the place.”
• “I feel inflamed, foggy, and stuck.”

They’ve often tried everything: supplements, diets, doctors, workouts.
Still stuck. Still guessing. Still getting told “your labs look normal.”

At YFS (Your Form Sux), we don’t treat the symptom. We map the system.

We use functional root-cause mapping to figure out why your body is reacting the way it is — and what we can do to reset it.

🧭 What Is Functional Root-Cause Mapping?

Think of it as building a map of your body’s interconnected systems — and tracing your symptoms back to where things actually broke down.

Instead of asking,

“How do we fix your fatigue?”

we ask,

“What’s happening in your energy, stress, hormone, gut, or immune systems that’s making you feel this way?”

It’s about finding the origin point, not just soothing the surface.

⚙️ The Core Systems We Map

In functional medicine, your body is viewed as a network, not a list of disconnected parts.

Here are the systems we focus on in every root-cause map:

1. Energy & Mitochondrial Function

Are your cells actually producing energy efficiently?
We look at nutrient status (B12, iron, CoQ10, magnesium), mitochondrial support, and signs of metabolic breakdown.

2. Gut & Digestive Health

Your gut affects way more than just digestion. We look at:

• Microbiome balance
• Leaky gut
• Food sensitivities
• Enzyme levels
• Gut-brain axis

Gut dysfunction can cause fatigue, skin issues, anxiety, inflammation, and hormone problems — even if you’re “regular.”

3. Hormones & Blood Sugar

We assess your sex hormones, cortisol rhythms, insulin sensitivity, and thyroid output.
Hormonal imbalances are often downstream of gut, stress, or lifestyle issues — we find the upstream triggers.

4. Liver & Detox Pathways

Detox isn’t about juice cleanses. It’s about whether your liver, gallbladder, and lymphatic systems are processing waste properly.
If not? You get inflammation, skin flares, hormonal backup, and poor recovery.

5. Nervous System Regulation

Your body can’t heal if it thinks it’s in constant danger.
We assess how often you’re in “fight or flight” mode — and whether your vagus nerve, breath, sleep, and mindset are supporting recovery.

🧩 Symptoms Are Clues — Not Labels

Here’s the shift:
Most systems treat symptoms like diagnoses.
We treat them like messages.

For example:

• Bloating could be from poor digestion, stress, gut dysbiosis, or low stomach acid
• Fatigue might come from blood sugar crashes, mitochondrial dysfunction, or cortisol dysregulation
• Anxiety could be neurological — or it could start in your gut, hormones, or liver

Functional root-cause mapping connects those dots, so we don’t miss the real issue.

🔬 How We Build Your Root-Cause Map at YFS

We combine:

• A comprehensive intake (symptoms, lifestyle, history)
• Lab testing (hormones, gut, nutrients, inflammation markers)
• Movement and form analysis
• Your personal timeline (triggers, stress, injury, medication, life events)

Then we build a functional flow chart — showing which systems are under stress, which ones are compensating, and what needs to be supported first.

No guessing. Just a clear path from symptom ➝ system ➝ solution.

🎯 What This Means for Your Care Plan

Instead of throwing pills, workouts, or meal plans at symptoms, we target:

• The root causes that created dysfunction
• The drivers that keep your body stuck
• The priorities that matter most (you can’t heal everything at once)

Your protocol might include:

• Nutrition and supplementation
• Nervous system resets
• Movement rehab
• Gut or liver support
• Sleep and recovery optimization
• Habit stacking that actually sticks

And every part is connected back to your root-cause map.
