Laboratory testing done in functional medicine is a critical part of creating your personalized health restoration plan. They provide the “road map” of what is going on in your body at a deeper level. These tests are generally not provided/available through conventional laboratories. You will be provided a test kit, collections of stool, urine or saliva are done in your home with a special kit and then sent out to lab. Blood tests are done through specialty labs.

This test is a steroid hormone profile that measures hormones and hormone metabolites in a dried urine sample. It measures both free Cortisol and Metabolized Cortisol, Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA, and Melatonin. Measuring both hormones and their metabolites can give a much better overall picture of hormone production and adrenal function. This testing is the first step to working with the Body Phase I- Hormones.  To uncover your hormone status and establish an adrenal protocol.

This profile evaluates hormones throughout a full menstrual cycle giving a more comprehensive picture of a women’s cycle.  For some female patients, testing on just one day of the month is not enough. Women with infertility, irregular cycles or no menstrual bleeding due to an ablation or partial hysterectomy can benefit from Cycle Mapping.

Looking at gut health is key to evaluating your overall health.

This is a blood test to uncover food sensitivities/allergies. This specific test is testing for IgG and IgA antibodies to food. Generally these are considered hidden food sensitivities because often we are not aware that they are causing a problem.

It measures 1.Gycemic Control via (Glucose, Insulin, Hemoglobin A1c, C-Peptide Adiponectin), 2.Lipid Metabolism via (Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, Lipoprotein particle size and numbers), 3.Vascular Inflammation via (ApoB100, Lipoprotein a, C- Reactive Protein, Homocysteine). Also includes an OmegaCheck a ratio of your EPA to DHA- essential fatty acids critical to the health of the brain.

This patented intracellular testing gives insight into your nutritional status by measuring your body’s ability to absorb 32 vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential nutrients into your white blood cells.
