How We Discover the Root Cause

Advanced laboratory testing reveals what standard panels miss. Here's what we test and what it tells us about your health.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Reveals: Kidney function, liver health, blood sugar regulation, electrolyte balance, and protein levels.

Shows us if your body is processing nutrients correctly and if organ function is optimal.

Complete Blood Count

Reveals: Red and white blood cell counts, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet levels.

Identifies anemia, inflammation, infection, and immune system function.

Comprehensive Thyroid Panel

Reveals: TSH, T3, T4, reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies.

Explains fatigue, weight changes, mood issues, and metabolism problems. Standard testing often misses subtle thyroid dysfunction.

Hormone & Adrenal Function

Reveals: Cortisol patterns, DHEA, sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), and adrenal function.

Uncovers stress response issues, hormone imbalances, and why you might feel constantly fatigued or anxious.

Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Reveals: Gut microbiome composition, beneficial and harmful bacteria, yeast overgrowth, parasites, digestive enzymes, and inflammation markers.

Shows us why you have digestive issues, bloating, or food intolerances. The gut is the foundation of health.

Food Sensitivity & Intolerance

Reveals: IgG and IgA reactions to common foods, identifying hidden triggers for inflammation and symptoms.

Explains chronic inflammation, joint pain, headaches, skin issues, and digestive problems you couldn't pinpoint.

Nutrient & Vitamin Levels

Reveals: Vitamin D, B12, folate, iron, magnesium, zinc, and other essential nutrients.

Shows deficiencies that cause fatigue, brain fog, poor immune function, and slow healing—even if you eat well.

Inflammatory Markers

Reveals: C-reactive protein (CRP), homocysteine, and other markers of chronic inflammation.

Identifies hidden inflammation driving heart disease, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and chronic pain.

Organic Acids Test

Reveals: Metabolic function, energy production, neurotransmitter metabolism, detoxification pathways, and yeast/bacterial overgrowth.

Shows us how well your cells are producing energy and processing toxins—key to understanding fatigue and brain fog.

Why This Matters

Standard lab panels are essential for diagnosing and monitoring many conditions. Functional medicine testing complements these by revealing imbalances and dysfunctions that might be contributing to recurring symptoms. When we understand the why—the root cause—we can create a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses both immediate symptoms with appropriate medications and underlying factors that may be causing issues to recur. This integrated approach helps you feel better now while working to prevent problems from happening again.
