"Your body holds the answers. The right tests help us find them."

Why Standard Labs Leave So Many Questions Unanswered

"The body keeps the score - and the labs help us read it."

Conventional blood work is designed to rule out disease. It often misses the subtle imbalances that quietly drain your energy, disrupt your hormones, and cloud your thinking. Functional lab testing goes further, revealing the patterns and deficiencies that standard panels overlook, so we can build a protocol that addresses what's actually driving your symptoms.

We work hard to keep your investment manageable - through preferred pricing with our lab partners, we pass on savings directly rather than marking up the cost. Tests are recommended only when clinically appropriate, and we welcome results from outside providers if you've already had work done.

For those ready for a full picture, we pair a comprehensive health history and nutrition intake with targeted functional testing to produce a Personalized Client Report - complete with specific, practical next steps designed around your unique biology.

Targeted testing can help us get to the root of:

Fatigue & Low Energy
Low Mood / Anxiety
Brain Fog
Gas & Bloating
Acid Reflux
Food Sensitivities
Diarrhea / Constipation
Skin Issues
Irritability
Sleep Disruption
Muscle Aches & Pain
Weight Gain / Insulin Resistance

Advanced Blood Labs

We go beyond standard 'normal vs. abnormal' ranges by comparing conventional medical ranges against functional lab ranges, a distinction that's often eye-opening for clients. This approach lets us assess your functional health and nutritional status, not just screen for disease.

Depending on your symptoms and history, our Physician Services may order a full thyroid panel, advanced cardiovascular health markers, CBC with differential, comprehensive metabolic panel, vitamin D, uric acid, iron panel, and more. We order through Rupa Health at the lowest negotiated prices available, and you'll always receive a copy of your results to share with your primary care provider.

Ordered on a case-by-case basis as clinically indicated

DUTCH Hormone Test

The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is the gold standard for assessing sex hormones, adrenal function, and their metabolites. It evaluates estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, cortisone, and DHEA - giving a complete picture of how your hormones are being produced, used, and cleared by the body.

Leaky Gut & Histamine Panel

A blood panel that assesses intestinal permeability and histamine intolerance by measuring key markers like zonulin, DAO enzyme activity, and histamine levels. Elevated histamine and impaired gut barrier function are often hidden drivers behind chronic inflammation, allergies, skin issues, headaches, and digestive distress.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis

Evaluates overall mineral balance, heavy metal burden, and broad wellness indicators. Reveals how well your body is absorbing and utilizing key minerals, and whether toxic metals may be interfering with your energy, hormones, or neurological health.

Food Sensitivity & Cross-Reactivity

A comprehensive blood panel from Cyrex Labs covering food allergies, sensitivities, and cross-reactive proteins.

Lyme Disease & Co-Infection Panel

Advanced testing for Borrelia burgdorferi and common co-infections like Babesia, Bartonella, and Ehrlichia. Lyme and its co-infections are frequently missed by standard testing and can be an underlying driver of chronic fatigue, joint pain, neurological symptoms, and immune dysfunction that resist conventional treatment.

Epstein-Barr Virus Panel

Blood testing to identify current infection, past exposure, or reactivation of EBV - a common but often overlooked contributor to chronic fatigue and immune dysfunction.
