Functional lab testing is used to reveal the underlying source of the problem:
Adrenal Testing
Adrenal testing by saliva. Salivary testing is the gold standard for your stress hormones DHEA and cortisol. Some adrenal related symptoms are, morning fatigue, loss of resiliency, insomnia, depression and anxiety upon awakening.
Hormone Testing
Hormone testing for both adult women and men is the optimal method of testing your hormonal status to keep you healthy, or to determine therapies for PMS, peri-menopause, menopause and andropause (male menopause).
Food Sensitivity Testing
Food sensitivities cause a wide variety of illnesses ranging from skin rashes and headaches to chronic intestinal diseases. This test measures the sensitivity to foods, colorings and additives spanning all major food groups. Measuring IgG and Immune Complexes together increases the sensitivity. This is a unique Gut Barrier Panel to include markers of Zonulin, Occludin and Candida. A compromised intestinal barrier (leaky gut) may play a role in the development of common diseases. 70% of your immune system is in the gut.
Methylation Testing
Methylation is a chemical process that happens billions of times per second in every cell of your body. Methyl groups act like billions of switches which turn genes on or off, help regulate mood, detoxify hormones, produce energy, and promote healthy aging.
Toxic Element Testing
Toxic element or heavy metal testing provides a window into exposure to various toxins such mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic and more. Heavy metal can accumulate in the body and disrupt the balance of essential nutrients and become toxic to organ systems.
Mycotoxin testing
Mycotoxin exposure can come from both dietary and environmental sources. Dietary sources include spoiled or rotten foods, grains, dried fruits, nuts, coffee, and spices. Environmental sources include living or working in water-damaged buildings, physical contact with outdoor molds and air borne dust in buildings containing mold spores. If you have impaired immunity, autoimmune disease or known exposure to mold this test may benefit you.
