We incorporate advanced diagnostic and functional medicine tests alongside standard laboratory tests to gain a comprehensive understanding of your body’s functions. These tests identify specific contributors to dysfunction and help guide the development of a personalized, holistic treatment plan. The choice and timing of tests are tailored to each patient based on factors such as age, symptom severity, symptom duration, prior treatments, treatment goals, financial considerations, and how the test results will impact the treatment plan.

Typically, the initial tests include an Organic Acids Test (OAT) and either a gut microbiome or comprehensive digestive stool analysis. The OAT is a urine test that provides a detailed overview of the body, including markers for gastrointestinal health, nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter balance, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, detoxification capacity, and glutathione levels. Gut health, in particular, plays a crucial role in nutrient absorption, immune system regulation, and brain function. Imbalances in gut bacteria, such as dysbiosis, can contribute to a wide range of symptoms, including digestive disturbances, mood disorders, and neurological conditions. Focusing on gut health early helps lay the foundation for effective healing and improved treatment outcomes.

Common tests include (but are not limited to):

Digestive Health Test:

• • Gut Microbiome Analysis
  • Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
  • Intestinal Permeability Markers
  • Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
  • Food Sensitivity Tests

Nutritional Status Tests:

• • Micronutrient Panels (Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids)
  • Methylation Profiles
  • Cerebral Folate Deficiency (FRAT) Screening
  • Plasmalogen Profiles
  • Oxidative Stress Biomarkers

Environmental Toxins:

• • Mold and Mycotoxins
  • Toxic Heavy Metals
  • Environmental Toxicants
