Advanced Functional Lab Testing

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.

Autoimmune symptoms often develop long before a diagnosis is made. Fatigue, joint pain, brain fog, digestive issues, skin concerns, thyroid dysfunction, and chronic inflammation can all be signs that the immune system may be involved.

Comprehensive autoimmune testing can help identify immune reactivity, potential autoimmune patterns, and underlying factors that may be contributing to symptoms. We use advanced testing to look beyond standard labs and gain a deeper understanding of what may be driving inflammation and immune dysfunction.

The genetics test looks at your DNA to help us understand how your body is uniquely designed to function and process key systems like detoxification, inflammation, hormones, and nutrient needs. It instead identifies genetic patterns that may influence your risk for imbalances over time.

This information helps us personalize your plan by showing things like how efficiently you detox environmental toxins, how your body responds to inflammation, and what nutritional or metabolic tendencies you may have. It gives us deeper insight into your “blueprint” so we can support your health in a more targeted and individualized way.
