Functional Lab Testing
Outside of traditional lab work, we provide a number of specialty tests that allow us to get a more comprehensive view of what might be impacting your health!
Salivary and Urinary Metabolite Hormone Testing
Salivary testing allows us to monitor hormones over your cycle to give us the full picture without blood draw. Urinary hormones allow us to understand how your body is metabolizing your estrogens, giving us further understanding of your risk of developing disorders of estrogen dominance and estrogen related cancers
Environmental Toxicity Testing
Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals and as we have become more exposed we have been confronted with an accelerating rate of chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, infertility, fatigue, anxiety, hormone imbalance, skin problems, chronic sinus issues, obesity, and much more. Assessing for toxins may be an important step in your wellness journey
Stool and Microbiome Testing
The gut microbiome resides in your large intestine and is host to more than 1000 species of bacteria that perform certain important functions from shaping the immune system to influencing metabolism of nutrients to fortifying the intestinal mucosal barrier. It is important to know the abundances of the bacteria that live in the human gastrointestinal tract because imbalances in the gut microbiome may lead to gastrointestinal symptoms, skin conditions, autoimmune disorders, mental health concerns, and multiple inflammatory disorders.
Adrenal Stress Testing
Long periods of stress overwork the adrenal glands and cause them to stop functioning well, which can turn causes adrenal axis dysfunction causing symptoms like anxiety, insomnia, weight gain, depression, digestive problems. Testing, cortisol, melatonin, and DHEA through saliva can greatly improve our ability to assess for adrenal imbalances leading to fatigue, poor sleep, poor stress resiliency, anxiety, and more. This adrenal salivary test will clue us in to know what part of your endocrine system may need support.
Micronutrient Testing
Testing for nutrient insufficiencies is a wonderful way to accelerate your health optimization process. It is absolutely essential that we have adequate amounts of certain nutrients and minerals in order to carry out all the cellular reactions our body needs thrive. A lack in any one of our essential nutrients can cause distress on our body.
Food + Environmental Allergy Testing
Food sensitivities are responses to certain foods that occur hours to days after they are consumed. Chronic symptoms/conditions/illnesses associated with food sensitivities include and are not limited to: digestive disorders, migraines, mood/attention deficit disorders, weight gain, chronic fatigue, skin disorders, bronchitis and asthma symptoms, autoimmunity, intestinal permeability, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, eczema, joint pain, insomnia, swelling etc. Food Sensitivity testing can be very useful to help prioritize an elimination or rotation diet. Usually removing foods that the body has produced antibodies to will alleviate symptoms, because the source of inflammation is removed.
