Functional Testing Options
Every healing journey is different. We use functional lab testing to uncover underlying imbalances, identify potential root causes, and create a personalized plan based on your unique health story.
-
Our comprehensive blood panel goes far beyond what is typically ordered during a routine doctor's visit. We evaluate markers related to thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, inflammation, nutrient status, iron balance, cardiovascular health, and more, interpreting each through functional ranges rather than conventional ones. This allows us to identify patterns and potential imbalances before they develop into more significant concerns.
Panel includes: CBC with Differential and Platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), CRP and hs-CRP, GGT, Hemoglobin A1c, Fasting Insulin, Glucose, Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH), Homocysteine, Comprehensive Iron Panel, Lipid Panel with VLDL, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Copper, Zinc, Ceruloplasmin, Comprehensive Thyroid Panel (TSH, Free and Total T3 & T4, Reverse T3, TPO and Thyroglobulin Antibodies), Uric Acid, and Vitamin D.
Custom blood panels are also available based on your individual needs. Pricing may vary.
-
A single-collection stool test through Diagnostic Solutions that uses advanced PCR technology to evaluate the health of your gut microbiome. It identifies bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses, H. pylori, and other potential pathogens, while also assessing beneficial bacteria, digestive function, inflammation, immune activity, and intestinal health markers. This is one of our most frequently recommended tests because it provides valuable insight into the connection between gut health, immune function, and overall wellness. Shipping to and from the lab is included.
-
A blood test through Oxford Biomedical that measures your body's immune reactivity to 176 foods and food chemicals. Unlike traditional food allergy testing, MRT evaluates the release of inflammatory mediators from white blood cells to identify foods that may be contributing to inflammation and ongoing symptoms. The results help us create a personalized nutrition plan designed to reduce your inflammatory burden while supporting healing. Shipping to and from the lab is included.
-
A simple hair sample test that provides insight into your body's mineral status and heavy metal patterns over the past two to three months. By analyzing a small sample of hair collected close to the scalp, we can better understand mineral imbalances, stress patterns, and your body's ability to detoxify. This is one of our most accessible and affordable functional tests.
-
A specilaized urine test through Vibrant America that screens for 29 different mycotoxins produced by 40 common mold species that humans are frequently exposed to. Using advanced mass spectrometry technology, this test is designed to detect even low levels of fungal toxins that may otherwise go unnoticed. The results help us better understand whether mold exposure may be contributing to your symptoms and guide a personalized healing approach. Shipping to and from the lab is included.
-
A single-collection urine test through Vibrant America that screens for mycotoxins from mold, heavy metals, and a wide range of environmental toxins, including glyphosate, pesticides, herbicides, phthalates, parabens, and BPA. As one of the most comprehensive toxin screens available, it helps uncover environmental exposures that may be impacting your health and guides a personalized detoxification and healing plan. Shipping to and from the lab is included.
-
A urine test through Vibrant America that evaluates over 70 metabolic markers to provide insight into gut health, nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial function, detoxification, neurotransmitter metabolism, oxidative stress, and yeast or bacterial overgrowth. By identifying imbalances at the cellular level, this test helps uncover underlying contributors to fatigue, digestive concerns, brain fog, mood changes, and other chronic symptoms. Shipping to and from the lab is included.
-
A dried urine test collected four to five times over a 24-hour period that provides a comprehensive evaluation of adrenal and sex hormones, including cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. It also measures estrogen metabolism, melatonin, vitamins B12 and B6, glutathione, dopamine, and epinephrine. Because samples are collected throughout the day, the DUTCH Complete allows us to evaluate daily hormone patterns and estrogen metabolism in much greater detail than a single-point blood test. Shipping to and from the lab is included

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. Testing recommendations are based on your symptoms, health history, previous lab work, and goals. Most clients only complete one or two tests.
-
Absolutely. If you've had recent blood work or functional testing completed, we'll review those results and only recommend additional testing when needed.
-
Most functional laboratory tests are not billed directly through insurance. However, our Comprehensive Blood Chemistry panel may be eligible depending on your insurance plan and laboratory. We also accept HSA and FSA payments, though reimbursement is ultimately determined by your plan.
-
Yes. Every test includes a comprehensive review of your results and personalized recommendations, so you understand what they mean and how they fit into your health journey.

-
You don't have to figure it out on your own. During your discovery call or initial consultation, we'll review your health history, symptoms, previous lab work, and goals to determine whether functional testing is appropriate, and which tests will provide the most meaningful information.
