LABS DESCRIPTIONS

These are the top 6 lab tests recommended to every Wellness client in my practice who would like a comprehensive deep-dive into their overall health and well-being.

Each of these labs offers a unique perspective of assessing the body and how certain underlying imbalances may be holding you back from achieving your optimal level of health and vitality!

By running the Functional Medicine lab tests listed below you will have the ability to actually discover what your deficiencies and toxicities are. From there, you can then begin to build your body back up while ridding it of the toxins that are making you feel sluggish and less than your best.

1) Minerals and Metals Test -Hair ($199)

This lab helps you discover your electrolyte imbalances, low minerals, and heavy metal toxicity. Because of its price and comprehensive assessment, the Complete Minerals & Metals Test is my personal choice for getting started in Functional Medicine lab testing. You can complete the lab right at home by taking just a few snippets of hair from the back of your head.

2) Candida, Metabolic and Vitamins Test - Urine ($399)

This lab test is easily the most underrated lab for looking at the deepest root cause level of why you are not feeling well. It’s a comprehensive view of your gut, energy, mood and vitamin levels. This lab provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue, and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids.

3) Omega-3 and Inflammation Test - blood ($199)

By now most people know how important it is to reduce inflammation in their body. But, very few people actually test their levels to see how healthy their Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios actually are. This lab allows you to look deep into your blood to see how you measure up and how balanced you really are. Research shows that if you have a 9% or greater saturation rate in your blood of Omega-3s, then you are 90% less likely to die from sudden cardiac death. The reason why this statistic exists is because plaque or cholesterol does not tell the whole picture. This is because if your arteries can’t expand due to inflammation (too much Omega-6s) then you’re far more likely to have a cardiovascular event. So, by increasing your Omega-3 levels to balance your Omega-6s your overall cardiovascular and health profile should improve. This same test can be used to help with inflammatory muscle/joint pain, skin, nervous system issues, energy, mood, and much more.

4) Food Sensitivity Test - blood ($399)

IgG food sensitivity testing is different from typical food allergy testing that looks for severe, life-threatening or immediate food reactions. This state-of-the-art lab specializes in analyzing small droplets of blood that you place on a card and mail in. Your blood will then be tested against 190 of the most common foods, and provide you with an analysis of which foods you are mildly, moderately, and highly reactive to. This is the most straightforward way to get the results you need to begin making positive health changes in your life. I am a true believer of this lab because my son was coughing for over two years, and no doctor was able to help. As soon as I ran this lab he stopped coughing within 2 weeks of eliminating his reactive foods. Amazing!

5) Complete Stress, Mood, and Metabolism Test - Blood & saliva ($499)

Uncover hormonal imbalances related to mood, metabolism, and libido. Losing weight has less to do with the amount of calories you eat or how much you exercise, and everything to do with hormone balance, cortisol levels, and metabolism. By looking at the hidden inflammatory triggers and hormone imbalances we can discover what is holding you back from the body you want and the results you deserve.

6) Complete Gut Bacteria and Parasite Test - Stool ($499)

Are you under high stress, experiencing digestive issues or unexplained body pain, brain fog, low energy, or headaches? An imbalanced gut microbiome could be to blame. This lab will determine the root cause of your GI symptoms and inflammation.
