Functional medicine tests we offer
Gastrointestinal testing
If you’re struggling with gut problems, this comprehensive stool test checks the large intestines for good and bad bacteria, unwanted organisms, mucus, and yeast. Additionally, it can also detect how well you digest your food. Checking inside the large intestine also tests your immune system response.
What you can expect to be checked by this test:
- Microbiome health – find good bacteria and harmful bacteria
- Unwanted organisms – yeast, worms, and parasites
- Digestion quality – carbohydrate digestion problems, pancreatic insufficiency, leaky gut
- Immune status – immunity imbalance
- and more…
SIBO
Gas and bloating can be linked to bacterial overgrowth in the small intestines, explaining many overlapping IBS symptoms.
When the wrong bacteria ends up in the wrong place, it causes a quick fermentation which causes pain, gas, and bloating.
Nutristat
Venous blood draw Nutristat is an advanced functional assessment to provide a detailed estimate of nutritional status, metabolic function, toxic metals, oxidative stress, methylation cofactors, neurotransmitter metabolism, and microbial metabolism.
It is particularly useful for individuals experiencing fatigue, low energy, poor recovery, metabolic or digestive concerns, or other chronic health issues.
DUTCH hormonal test
Dutch stands for Dry Urinary Test for Comprehensive Hormones. By collecting urine 4 to 5 times and additional saliva collection, we gain insight into the hormonal profile which can be missed by blood tests.
By using this test we can gain insight into hormonal and metabolic health.
It also examines the hormonal profile of progesterone and testosterone, and the metabolic pathways of estrogen, along with the adrenal profile: DHEAs, cortisol, cortisone, melatonine, and other markers for oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and the nine organic acid markers. This test offers a more comprehensive scope than regular blood or saliva tests. In addition, we can also add cycle mapping to check symptomatic hormone shifts during your cycle.
DAO
Venus Blood Draw. Diamine Oxidase (DAO) is an enzyme that helps break down histamine in the intestine. Intestinal inflammation or damage, genetic differences, or use of some standard treatments can impact DAO levels. Low DAO activity can increase the risk of histamine intolerance or allergic reactions.
OAT
The Organic Acid Test analyses urinary metabolites to reveal insights into metabolic function and nutrient deficiencies, which may be the cause of different chronic illnesses or metabolic disturbances.
Cyrex Serum Arrays
This venous blood test is used to evaluate immune reactivity associated with different autoimmune conditions where chemical immune burden may be a contributing factor to overall biotoxin and immune load, which can promote inflammatory and neuro-inflammatory cascades/responses.
The measurement of specific antibody reactions to selected antigens helps to identify patterns of immune activation and provides additional insight into immune dysregulation.
WomensKEY Complete
Urine assessment to provide valuable insight into chronic urinary infection UTIs, Bacterial Vaginosis BV, reproductive system infection, and yeast overgrowth, including cases that may be persistent or resistant to standard treatment.
Wellness Male
Venous blood draw. Assesses male vital organs, hormones, and stress. It evaluates sexual health, energy, stress, prostate health, and thyroid, liver, and immune function.
Intolerance Allergy Test
Venous Blood Draw or Finger Prick. The P88 dietary antigen test measures IgE, IgG, IgG4, and complement (C3d) responses to 88 commonly consumed foods, providing insight into systematic gastrointestinal symptoms as well as potential food-related immune reactivity.
