Functional Lab Test
Functional lab testing goes beyond standard medical tests to assess deeper imbalances in the body related to digestion, nutrient status, metabolism, inflammation, and overall wellness. It includes tests like stool analysis (for gut health and microbiome balance), blood panels (for nutrient deficiencies, hormone balance, and metabolic health), and other specialized assessments such as urine and saliva tests (for detoxification, adrenal function, and stress hormones). These tests provide a detailed picture of how the body is functioning, allowing for targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations to support optimal health and long-term wellness

Blood Test
Blood test provides key insights into overall health, identifying imbalances and deficiencies that impact energy, digestion, metabolism, and immune function. It can reveal:
-
Nutrient Levels – Checks for deficiencies in vitamins and minerals like vitamin D, B12, iron, and magnesium.
-
Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health – Assesses glucose, insulin, and hemoglobin A1c for signs of insulin resistance or diabetes risk.
-
Inflammation Markers – Measures CRP, homocysteine, and other indicators of chronic inflammation.
-
Lipid Profile – Evaluates cholesterol, triglycerides, and cardiovascular health risks.
-
Liver & Kidney Function – Identifies how well these organs are processing toxins and regulating nutrients.
-
Thyroid Health – Tests for thyroid hormones (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) and antibodies to assess metabolism and energy regulation.
-
Hormone Balance – Analyzes estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol levels, which impact mood, energy, and overall wellness.
By interpreting these markers, a blood test helps create a personalized nutrition and supplement plan to optimize overall health, energy levels, and disease prevention.

Stool Test
Stool test provides valuable insights into gut health by analyzing digestion, absorption, microbiome balance, inflammation, and potential infections. It can reveal:
-
Gut microbiome health – Identifies beneficial and harmful bacteria, yeast, and parasites.
-
Digestive function – Assesses enzyme activity and how well you’re breaking down and absorbing nutrients.
-
Inflammation markers – Detects gut inflammation, which may be linked to conditions like IBS, leaky gut, or food sensitivities.
-
Immune function – Measures secretory IgA, a key marker for gut immune defense.
-
Pathogens and dysbiosis – Screens for infections, bacterial overgrowth, or imbalances that may impact digestion and overall health.
By analyzing these factors, a stool test helps create a targeted nutrition and supplement plan to support optimal gut function, digestion, and overall wellness.
