FUNCTIONAL LAB TESTING
Functional Lab Testing for a Deeper Look at Your Health
Functional lab testing allows us to look beyond symptoms and explore what may be happening beneath the surface. With these insights, we can identify potential imbalances and create a personalized plan to support your unique health journey.
Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test
Also known as the Thyroid, Adrenal, Hormone Test.
This comprehensive test provides a broader look at key hormones and markers involved in stress, mood, energy, and metabolism. It evaluates adrenal hormone patterns, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, and vitamin D status to provide insight into how these interconnected systems may be functioning.
Sample Type: Saliva & Blood Spot
Who It’s For: Those who’ve been told their hormones are “just fine” but continue to deal with PMS, irregular cycles, brain fog, puffiness, thinning or brittle hair, low libido, mood imbalances, sleep issues, and unexplained weight gain.
Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test
Also known as an Organic Acids Test (OAT).
This comprehensive test provides insight into digestive health, yeast-related markers, cellular energy and metabolism, and nutritional status. It also evaluates key metabolites associated with mood and energy, along with markers that can indicate potential vitamin and nutrient needs.
Sample Type: Urine
Who It’s For: Those with digestive issues like bloating and gas, constipation, diarrhea, acid reflux, skin problems, and immune dysfunction.
Minerals & Metals Test
Also known as an Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Test (HTMA).
This test provides insight into your body’s mineral balance and potential exposure to heavy metals. It evaluates essential minerals involved in energy production, stress response, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, and overall metabolic health, while also assessing levels of potentially harmful metals.
Sample Type: Hair Sample
Who It’s For: Those with who experience high-stress, low energy and fatigue, poor sleep, headaches, skin rashes, tingling or numbness, and feelings of overwhelm.
Omega-3 & Inflammation Test
This test provides insight into your body’s fatty acid balance and inflammatory patterns. It evaluates levels of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, and looks at key ratios that can help show how well these essential fats are balanced within the body.
The results can help identify fatty acid imbalances and areas that relate to inflammation, cardiovascular health, brain function, and overall cellular health.
Sample Type: Blood spot
Who It’s For: Those who experience ongoing pain in there body, low mood, muscle aches, respiratory issues, premature aging, and anyone wanting to promote longterm health.
Food Sensitivity IgG Test
This comprehensive test evaluates your immune response to a wide variety of foods to help identify potential food sensitivities that may be contributing to unwanted symptoms. It measures IgG antibody responses to 190 different foods, providing a personalized look at how your immune system may be reacting to foods in your current diet.
The results can help identify potential food triggers and patterns that may be useful when creating a personalized nutrition plan, particularly when exploring concerns related to digestion, energy, skin health, and overall wellness.
Sample Type: Blood spot
Who It’s For: Those who experience itchy skin, headaches, joint pain or stiffness, brain fog, low mood or irritability, and muscle weakness.
Mold Toxicity Test
This comprehensive test evaluates the presence of mycotoxins—toxic compounds produced by certain types of mold—to help identify potential mold exposure and how it may be affecting the body. It screens for multiple mycotoxins that can be associated with exposure through water-damaged buildings, the environment, or certain foods.
The results can help identify patterns of mycotoxin exposure and provide useful information for developing personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness support, particularly when exploring concerns related to energy, brain fog, immune function, inflammation, and overall well-being.
Sample Type: Urine
Who It’s For: Those who experience persistent sinus and congestion, circles under your eyes, low energy or fatigue, poor sleep, headaches or brain fog, and frequent illness.
Gut Bacteria & Parasites Test
This comprehensive test provides an in-depth look at the gut microbiome and digestive health. It evaluates levels of beneficial and potentially harmful bacteria, while also screening for parasites and other microorganisms that may contribute to digestive imbalances.
The results can help identify microbial imbalances and potential gut-related stressors and provide useful information for developing personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness support, particularly when exploring concerns related to digestion, bloating, bowel regularity, immune function, and overall gut health.
Sample Type: Stool
Who It’s For: Those who experience fatigue or brain fog, headaches, digestive problems like bloating, gas, diarrhea, blood or mucus in the stool, and nausea or vomiting.
