Functional Lab Testing

Within a functional approach to healthcare, specialized laboratory tests provide valuable baseline measurements of key health markers while also serving as effective screening tools to identify potential imbalances. By evaluating key markers related to inflammation, blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, nutrient status, thyroid function, liver and kidney health, hormones, and other physiological systems, these tests provide valuable insight into how your body is functioning as a whole. They also serve as important screening tools, helping to identify potential areas of concern early and allowing for more personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and treatment strategies while providing objective measurements to track progress over time.

The testing services that we offer include:

• Blood Chemistry

• Tests to Evaluate Gastrointestinal Disturbances

• Food Intolerance Testing (Stool and Blood)

• Genetic panels (followed by functional testing to address polymorphisms)

• Food Allergy Testing

• Female Hormone Panels

• Male Hormone Panels

• Adrenal Panel

• Heavy Metal Testing (Urine and/or Hair)

Blood Chemistry Panel

"There is no general screening test that is more efficient, effective and affordable than a comprehensive blood chemistry panel.  A comprehensive blood chemistry panel will allow the healthcare provider to quickly assess the degree of health or disease in a patient. It is the ultimate tool in biomedical laboratory sciences to evaluate new patients.  It allows the healthcare provider to establish a baseline of biomarkers that can be used to track the patient’s health immediately and over a period of time.”

A comprehensive panel can screen for blood sugar, lipid, renal, hepatic, biliary, cardiovascular, immune and hematological disorders and risk.  There also are a series of blood tests that can test for brain health.
