Functional lab testing
Blood is the window into the body
We believe in the saying “test, don’t guess.” Labs are a tool, used alongside nutrition, supplements and lifestyle strategy to restore balance and support the body’s natural ability to heal.
Functional lab testing is part of the 4-month program, personalized to your symptoms, history and goals.
The seven panels
Test, don’t guess
We are trained to use labs as a tool for uncovering imbalances, dysfunction and the underlying causes of persistent health issues.
Stool Test
Digestion is the top healing priority of the body.
What it looks at
- How well you are breaking down your food
- Pancreatic function: protein, carbohydrate and fat breakdown
- Gallbladder function and bile flow
- Inflammation markers
- and 4 more
- Digestion
Stool Test
Digestion is the top healing priority of the body.
You are what you digest and absorb, and what you absorb depends on a healthy digestive tract. Without the integrity of the digestive system, the body cannot support the other foundations of health.
What it looks at
- How well you are breaking down your food
- Pancreatic function: protein, carbohydrate and fat breakdown
- Gallbladder function and bile flow
- Inflammation markers
- Immune function: 80% of the immune system lives in the gut
- Pathogens: bacteria, H. pylori, viruses, yeast, Candida, parasites, overgrowth
- Whether you are producing gluten antibodies in the gut
- How well you are detoxifying hormones and environmental toxins
Gut health shows up differently in everyone: digestive issues, weight-loss resistance, joint pain, bloat, constipation, acne, hormonal imbalance, migraines, anxiety, mood. Sometimes there are zero symptoms and still work to be done.
- Bloodwork
Comprehensive Bloodwork
Functional ranges, not pathological ones.
The pathological range is used to diagnose disease, and the sicker the population gets, the wider those reference ranges become. This is why so many people are told their bloodwork is normal but still feel terrible. The functional range is far narrower. It assesses risk before disease develops, and asks why something is out of balance.
What it looks at
- Full thyroid panel including antibodies: TSH, T3, T4, T3 uptake, Reverse T3, FTI
- Full iron panel: TIBC, UIBC, iron, ferritin
- Immune system markers
- Liver: AST, ALT, ALK PHOS, GGT, LDH
- Lipid panel
- Fasted glucose and insulin
- Inflammation: hsCRP, homocysteine, ESR
- Uric acid, vitamin D, electrolytes, urinalysis
- Nutrients
NutrEval
Nutritional deficiencies panel.
A blood and urine profile evaluating over 125 biomarkers, assessing the body’s functional need for 40 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids and amino acids, alongside oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction and digestive support.
- Food response
MRT Food Sensitivity Test
140 foods. 30 chemicals.
This test measures how strongly your immune system reacts to 140 different foods and 30 different chemicals. It is the one food sensitivity test we trust. You can be eating a healthy diet, but if you’re eating foods you are uniquely sensitive to, you won’t get very far. And it isn’t enough to simply know your sensitivities: the results matter only when you have the blueprint to act on them.
- Toxic burden
Total Tox Burden
39 toxins. 31 mycotoxins. 20 heavy metals.
Every day we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals through pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household products and environmental pollution. This urine test screens for 39 of the most inflammatory environmental toxins, 31 mycotoxins from mold, and 20 of the most common heavy metals.
- Metabolism
Organic Acids (OAT)
76 metabolic markers.
A urine test offering a comprehensive metabolic snapshot. It evaluates intestinal yeast and bacteria, vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress and neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses.
- SIBO
SIBO Breath Test
Non-invasive.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is exactly what the name suggests: an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. The GI tract normally holds the largest numbers of bacteria in the colon and far lower amounts in the small intestine. This is a non-invasive breath test.
