THE SYNERGY OPTIMIZATION METHOD™ (SOM™)
Symptoms Are Clues. Systems Are the Answer.
Most care treats whatever symptom is loudest that week. We built a different process — one that looks at how your hormones, metabolism, nutrients and overall health function together, so treatment addresses what's actually driving how you feel.
A 30-minute evaluation with Cammi — not just your age or a single hormone number.
WHY MOST CARE FALLS SHORT
"Your labs are normal" isn't the same as "you're fine"
If you've been told your labs look normal while you still feel exhausted, foggy, or not like yourself — you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. Standard ranges are built for populations, not for you. Most visits are too short to look past the single number that's technically "in range" to the pattern underneath it.
Symptoms are clues. Systems are the answer.
Synergy Optimization Method ™ exists to find that pattern — through comprehensive labs, real time with one provider, and a plan built around your system, not a checklist.

THE Synergy optimization METHOD
Three stages. One provider. No guessing.
START HERE
A 30-minute visit with Cammi to review your symptoms, goals, and recent labs, then map out the right next step.
You start here feeling exhausted. You leave with a clear next step — understood, for the first time, instead of dismissed.
PHASE 1: REveal
Full-panel labs and a live interpretation consult with Cammi to map what's actually driving your symptoms — hormones, thyroid, and metabolism, evaluated together. You leave with a written roadmap, not just a data dump.
This is where "I don't know what's wrong" becomes a clear picture — understood, not just tested.
PHASES 02–03 — REGULATE + RESTORE
Once your Assessment identifies what's out of balance, we build a treatment plan matched to your labs, lifestyle, and goals — stabilizing what's off, then rebuilding the function you've lost. Dosing and protocol adjust as your body responds; this isn't a fixed script.
This is where you move from understood to restored — not just symptom relief, but your system working the way it should again.
PHASE 04 — SUSTAIN
Once your plan is working, ongoing care keeps it that way — regular check-ins, adjustments as your body changes, and a direct line to Cammi instead of starting over from scratch every time something shifts.
This is where you become resilient — not just the version of you that gets better for a few months, but the one that stays.
OUR DIAGNOSTIC BATTERY
What we test — and why
If you've been told your labs look normal while you still feel exhausted, foggy, or not like yourself — you're not imagining it, and you're not alone. Standard ranges are built for populations, not for you. Most visits are too short to look past the single number that's technically "in range" to the pattern underneath it.
BODY COMPOSITION
Styku 3D Body Composition Scan
A 3D scan measuring body shape, fat mass, lean mass, and estimated visceral fat — tracked over time, not just weight.
Weight alone can't show whether you're losing fat, preserving muscle, or changing how fat is distributed.
STRESS & ENERGY
Stress & Energy Panel
Morning cortisol and DHEA-S, interpreted alongside symptoms, sleep, and history — not as a standalone diagnosis.
A single cortisol result doesn't diagnose "adrenal fatigue" or capture your full daily rhythm — it adds context, cautiously.
Testing is individualized. Not every patient requires every marker, and additional testing may be recommended based on symptoms, medical history, medications, examination findings, or initial results. Laboratory values are not interpreted in isolation and do not guarantee that a specific diagnosis will be found or that treatment will be recommended.
HORMONAL HEALTH
Comprehensive Hormone Panel
Estradiol, progesterone, total and free testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S, FSH, and LH — evaluated together.
Hormonal symptoms rarely make sense from one marker alone — we look at how they relate to each other and to you.
METABOLIC & INFLAMMATORY
Metabolic & Inflammatory Markers
Fasting glucose and insulin, A1c, lipid panel, hs-CRP, and a comprehensive metabolic panel.
Blood sugar can look normal while insulin and metabolic risk are already shifting underneath it.
THYROID
Thyroid Panel
TSH, free T4, free T3, and thyroid peroxidase antibodies, with additional testing added when clinically appropriate.
TSH alone doesn't always explain persistent symptoms — we look at production, availability, and autoimmune activity.
NUTRIENT & FOUNDATIONAL
Nutrient & Foundational Health Panel
CBC, ferritin, B12, folate, vitamin D, and a comprehensive metabolic panel.
Deficiencies and organ-function shifts can cause fatigue and symptoms that overlap with thyroid or hormonal issues.
ONE METHOD, EVERY CONDITION
The same process, whatever brought you here
Whether it's testosterone, menopause, thyroid, or weight — the method doesn't change. Only the labs and the plan do.
