The Difference
Standard Labs vs. Functional Labs
Standard Blood Work
- ✕ Wide "normal" ranges designed to detect disease
- ✕ Limited markers (often just TSH, CBC, CMP)
- ✕ Single snapshot in time
- ✕ "Normal" results despite ongoing symptoms
- ✕ Doesn't assess gut, hormones, or toxins
Functional Lab Testing
- ✓ Narrower optimal ranges for peak function
- ✓ Comprehensive panels with 50–200+ markers
- ✓ 24-hour hormone and cortisol mapping
- ✓ Identifies dysfunction before it becomes disease
- ✓ Assesses gut, hormones, nutrients, and toxins
Our Panels
Tests We Offer
Each test is selected based on your symptoms and clinical needs — we never order unnecessary panels.
Complete Thyroid Panel
TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Reverse T3, TPO Antibodies, Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Most doctors only test TSH. A complete panel reveals subclinical dysfunction, autoimmune thyroiditis, and conversion issues that standard testing misses entirely.
DUTCH Complete Hormone Panel
Estrogen metabolites, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA, Cortisol rhythm, Melatonin, Organic acids
The gold standard in hormone assessment. Dried urine collected at home over 24 hours reveals how your body produces, metabolizes, and eliminates hormones.
GI-MAP Stool Analysis
Pathogens, Parasites, Bacteria, Yeast, Viruses, Digestive enzymes, Inflammation markers, Immune function
Quantitative PCR technology identifies gut infections, dysbiosis, and digestive dysfunction with far greater accuracy than standard stool cultures.
SIBO Breath Test
Lactulose breath test measuring Hydrogen and Methane gases
Definitively diagnoses small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and determines the type (hydrogen vs. methane dominant), guiding targeted treatment.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Fasting insulin, HbA1c, Glucose, Lipid panel, hs-CRP, Homocysteine, Ferritin, Vitamin D, B12, Magnesium RBC
Goes beyond standard blood work to assess metabolic health, inflammation, cardiovascular risk, and critical nutrient levels.
Food Sensitivity Panel
IgG/IgA antibody testing for 90–180 foods
Identifies delayed-onset food reactions (not the same as allergies) that can drive inflammation, gut dysfunction, skin conditions, and brain fog.
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
75+ metabolic markers including neurotransmitters, mitochondrial function, yeast/bacterial metabolites, detoxification
A metabolic snapshot that reveals nutritional deficiencies, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter imbalances, and hidden yeast or bacterial overgrowth.
Environmental Toxin Panel
Heavy metals, Mycotoxins (mold), Pesticides, Phthalates, BPA
Identifies toxic exposures that may be driving autoimmune activation, hormonal disruption, neurological symptoms, and chronic inflammation.
How It Works
How Do I Get Tested?
Free Consultation
We discuss your symptoms, health history, and goals to determine which tests are most relevant for your case.
Test Kits Mailed to Your Home
All of our functional labs use at-home collection kits — stool, urine, saliva, or finger-prick blood. No lab visits required.
Complete at Your Convenience
Follow simple instructions to collect your samples at home and ship them back in the prepaid mailer provided.
Results Review Session
We schedule a comprehensive results review where we walk through every finding, explain what it means, and present your personalized treatment protocol.
