Blood, Urine, Stool, and Saliva Testing

Prices are subject to change; we use multiple labs and choose the most affordable options. Click on any lab to learn more about it. Many of these tests are not covered by insurance and are not offered through conventional care.

  • Most conventional labs use “pathological ranges,” which are designed to diagnose disease. If your results fall within those wide ranges, you’re often told everything is “normal”—even if you don’t feel well. In functional medicine, we use narrower, optimal ranges to catch imbalances before they turn into disease. Instead of just asking “Is this disease?” we ask “Why is this out of balance?” and look at the body as a whole.

    A comprehensive blood panel allows us to assess key areas like your thyroid (including antibodies), iron levels, blood sugar and insulin, liver function, cholesterol, inflammation, immune health, vitamin D, electrolytes, and more. This helps us identify deficiencies, stress patterns, and early dysfunction so we can create a personalized plan to support your energy, metabolism, hormones, and long-term health.

  • Digestion is the foundation of healing—you’re not just what you eat, you’re what you digest and absorb. If your gut isn’t functioning properly, it can impact your hormones, metabolism, immune system, and overall health. A stool test gives us a comprehensive look at your gut, including how well you’re breaking down food, pancreatic and gallbladder function, levels of inflammation, immune activity (since most of your immune system lives in the gut), and whether infections or imbalances like bacteria, H. pylori, yeast, or parasites are present. It also shows if you’re reacting to gluten and how well your body is detoxing hormones and environmental toxins.

    Gut dysfunction doesn’t always show up as digestive symptoms—it can look like acne, hormone imbalances, weight loss resistance, anxiety, migraines, joint pain, or even no symptoms at all. Over time, things like antibiotics, stress, alcohol, poor diet, toxins, mold, and pesticides can disrupt the gut. That’s why we test instead of guess, so we can create a targeted plan to restore digestion, improve absorption, and support whole-body healing.

  • Every day, we’re exposed to hundreds of toxins from things like medications, pesticides, packaged foods, household products, and environmental pollution. Over time, this toxic burden can impact your hormones, energy, immune system, and overall health.

    This comprehensive urine test helps us identify what your body is holding onto by screening for environmental toxins, mold-related toxins (mycotoxins), and heavy metals. This allows us to better understand your toxic load and create a targeted plan to support detoxification and reduce ongoing exposure.

  • The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a urine test that provides a comprehensive snapshot of your metabolism using over 70 markers. It helps us assess things like yeast and bacterial overgrowth (including candida), vitamin and mineral status, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter balance. It also includes markers for oxalates, which can play a role in many chronic health issues.

    Imbalances in these areas can contribute to symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and immune dysfunction—even when other labs look “normal.” This test helps uncover underlying causes such as microbial overgrowth, nutrient deficiencies, or effects from antibiotics, diet, or chronic stress, allowing us to create a more targeted and personalized healing plan.

  • A Food Sensitivity Test is a blood test that measures your body’s immune response to a wide range of foods. Instead of immediate food allergies, this test looks at delayed sensitivities, which can be harder to identify and may contribute to ongoing inflammation in the body. Often gluten, dairy, soy, or eggs these can come and go.

    Food sensitivities can show up in many ways—not just digestive symptoms. They may contribute to bloating, fatigue, headaches, skin issues, joint pain, or hormone imbalances. By identifying which foods may be triggering inflammation, we can create a personalized plan to reduce stress on the immune system, support gut healing, and improve overall health.

  • The Vibrant Mold Test is a urine test that measures levels of mycotoxins (toxins produced by mold) in the body. This helps us understand your current toxic burden and whether mold exposure may be impacting your health.

    Mold toxicity can show up as fatigue, brain fog, sinus issues, headaches, hormone imbalances, and immune dysfunction—and is often overlooked. By identifying the presence of mycotoxins, we can create a targeted plan to support detoxification, reduce exposure, and help your body heal.

  • Hormone testing is a saliva and urine test that gives a comprehensive look at key sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, along with cortisol and their metabolites to show not just how much is present, but how your body is breaking them down.

    It also assesses important pathways related to hormone balance, detoxification, and inflammation, which can impact symptoms like PMS, irregular cycles, fatigue, mood changes, weight changes, and low libido. This test helps us understand the full hormone picture so we can create a more targeted plan to restore balance and improve overall well-being.

This is one of the biggest differences between conventional testing and a functional health approach. Many advanced functional lab panels are not covered by insurance, which is why they are rarely used in conventional settings. However, these tests can be incredibly helpful for identifying underlying contributors to chronic or stubborn symptoms when standard labs do not provide clear answers.

Urinary Organic Acids Test (OAT) – Organic acids testing provides a broad look at metabolic function. It can offer insight into nutrient and vitamin status, mitochondrial and energy pathways, detoxification patterns, neurotransmitter-related metabolites, and markers associated with gut microbial balance. This test can also highlight patterns that may be associated with yeast or fungal overgrowth and certain environmental exposures, including mold-related stressors.

Food Sensitivity Testing – Food sensitivity (IgG-based) testing helps evaluate whether the immune system may be reacting to specific foods in a way that contributes to inflammation. These reactions are different from true IgE food allergies and may be temporary or longer-term depending on the individual and underlying factors.

Autoimmune Reactivity Testing – In some cases, it can be helpful to explore immune reactivity patterns by evaluating antibodies related to specific tissues, such as the digestive tract, thyroid, joints, adrenals, pancreas, connective tissue, or neurological tissues like the brain. When immune reactivity is present, it often does not occur in isolation, and understanding these patterns can help guide supportive strategies.

Digestive Testing – Digestive testing is highly individualized and selected based on a client’s history and goals. Stool testing can provide insight into markers of gut inflammation, microbial balance, and potential overgrowth patterns. We may also explore markers related to intestinal permeability and immune activation within the gut using a variety of high-quality functional stool tests.

Hormone Testing – While hormone testing is widely discussed, it is not always the first step. Many clients are already aware they are experiencing hormone-related symptoms, and the focus is often on understanding why those imbalances may be occurring. When hormone testing is appropriate, thyroid and adrenal markers are commonly explored, and comprehensive reproductive hormone assessment is best done through multi-sample urine testing to evaluate both hormone production and metabolism.

Mold/Mycotoxin Testing – Environmental mold exposure can be complex and is often evaluated through a combination of history, symptom patterns, and targeted testing. When additional clarity is needed, urinary organic acids testing or urinary mycotoxin testing may be used. In some cases, select inflammatory or immune-related markers may also be reviewed to help guide next steps.

Other Testing – Occasionally, deeper or less obvious contributors may need to be explored, such as heavy metal burden, chronic immune stressors, or other environmental or metabolic factors. When appropriate, additional functional testing options are available and are always selected thoughtfully based on the overall picture.
