Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing can provide deeper insight when symptoms feel confusing, inconsistent, or unresolved. While not required for meaningful progress, testing can offer clarity when lifestyle changes alone don’t fully explain what you’re experiencing.All testing includes professional interpretation, a structured results review session, and clear next steps tailored to you.Each test page includes detailed explanations, what the results mean, and a sample report so you can understand exactly what you're investing in.
Food Sensitivities
Mediator Release Test (MRT)
Identify hidden food sensitivities that drive inflammation and discomfort. The MRT with LEAP (Lifestyle Eating and Performance) program pinpoints reactive foods and guides a personalized anti-inflammatory plan for faster relief and lasting balance.
Gut Health
GI Map
A comprehensive stool test that evaluates gut health, detecting bacterial imbalances, parasites, viruses, and inflammation markers. It provides key insights to address digestive wellness and optimize gut function.
Metabolic Function
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
Explore metabolic health by identifying nutrient deficiencies, detoxification issues, and microbial imbalances. This test offers a detailed look at your body’s biochemistry to guide targeted wellness strategies.
Functional Serum Labs
Blood Chemistry Labs
Get more from your lab work with a functional perspective. Go beyond standard lab ranges to uncover what your results truly say about your health.
Metabolic & Nutrients
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
Discover your body's mineral and nutrient status to support detoxification, metabolic health, and overall balance.
BLOOD SUGAR BALANCE
Continuous Glucose Monitoring
Gain real-time insight into how your body responds to food, stress, and daily habits. Continuous glucose monitoring reveals personalized patterns in blood sugar balance—helping you identify triggers, stabilize energy, and support metabolic health.
Hormones
Comprehensive Hormone Evaluation
Balanced hormones support steady energy, mood, sleep, and long-term well-being. Each type of hormone test offers a unique perspective — and when used together, they create a complete picture of how your body produces, uses, and clears hormones.
Dutch Test (Dried Urine)
The most advanced way to assess adrenal and hormone function. The DUTCH test maps hormone metabolites and pathways, showing how your body produces and clears estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol. It’s invaluable for understanding adrenal fatigue patterns, estrogen dominance, and detoxification efficiency. Best for evaluating adrenal health, hormone metabolism, and root-cause imbalances.
ZRT Hormone Panel (Saliva)
Saliva testing reflects the active hormones available to your tissues, making it especially useful for those using transdermal or topical bioidentical hormones such as creams, gels, or patches. It also evaluates adrenal health through daily cortisol patterns to reveal how stress is impacting your energy and resilience. Best for: monitoring transdermal HRT response and tissue-level.
Serum Testing (Blood)
Serum testing measures hormone levels circulating in the blood and is ideal for oral hormone therapies such as micronized progesterone (Prometrium). Best for: assessing oral or injectable HRT, establishing baselines, and verifying therapeutic levels.
The Optimal Approach When on HRT
Combining these tests provides the most complete view:
DUTCH reveals how your body metabolizes and adapts to stress.
ZRT Saliva shows how much hormone is reaching tissues.
Serum shows what’s circulating in your blood.
