Functional Lab Testing
What is Functional Testing and how can it help?
Functional testing offers a complementary approach to conventional medicine, providing insights into underlying imbalances that may be contributing to your overall health status. Rather than just looking at symptoms, this type of testing aims to uncover potential root causes.
By taking a deeper dive into how your body is functioning, functional testing allows me to develop a more personalized plan to help you achieve optimal wellness. It gives me a fuller, more comprehensive understanding of what's going on inside your body so I can tailor my recommendations accordingly.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a powerful diagnostic tool that provides unparalleled insights into your body's mineral status and overall health.
Unlike traditional lab tests, HTMA offers a comprehensive, full-body scan that reveals:
-
Reliable data on more than 35 essential minerals, as well as toxic heavy metals, and over 25 important mineral ratios.
-
Valuable health information often not revealed in standard blood and urine tests.
-
Discovery of nutrient mineral imbalances or toxic heavy metal or mineral excesses that may be affecting your health.
With an HTMA testing, we can get insights on your thyroid and adrenal functions, your vitality level, your metabolic profile, your digestive function and much more.
This comprehensive stool provides a detailed look at the microbiome - the diverse community of microorganisms living in the gut.
GI-MAP testing analyzes DNA markers to identify the specific bacteria, yeast, parasites and other microbes present. This allows us to detect imbalances or overgrowths that could be contributing to digestive issues, immune dysfunction, and other health concerns.
Unlike conventional stool tests that only culture certain microbes, the GI-MAP utilizes cutting-edge DNA technology to paint a more complete picture of your unique gut ecology. This empowers us to address underlying gastrointestinal imbalances through targeted dietary, supplement and lifestyle interventions.
