Comprehensive Functional Lab Testing

Heartburn, constipation, diarrhea, IBS, IBD, eczema, and even mood imbalance can all trace back to the gut. These aren’t isolated symptoms.  They often reflect underlying issues with digestion, inflammation, or the microbiome. Functional lab testing gives us a window into what’s happening at the cellular and microbial level, allowing us to see whether imbalances in bacteria, digestion, or inflammation may be fueling your symptoms. With this insight, we can create a plan that supports healing from the inside out.

For those with ADHD and autism, nutrition and biochemistry often play a bigger role than most people realize. Digestive issues, picky eating, food intolerances, and nutrient insufficiencies are common, which can impact mood, focus, and behavior. Functional lab testing allows us to uncover imbalances in the gut, nutrient status, and even genetics that may influence brain health and day-to-day functioning. By identifying what’s happening at the cellular level, we can create a personalized plan that supports both the body and the brain.

From irregular periods and PMS to perimenopause, PCOS, and thyroid concerns, hormonal imbalances can affect energy, mood, weight, and overall wellbeing. Functional testing, such as the DUTCH test, looks beyond surface-level hormone levels to explore adrenal function, cortisol rhythm, and how your body is metabolizing hormones. This cellular-level insight helps us identify patterns and root causes so we can support hormone balance with personalized nutrition, targeted lifestyle shifts, and strategic supplementation.

When exhaustion lingers despite rest, the root cause can often be identified by exploring mitochondrial function, gut health, nutrient status, hormones and inflammatory markers. Functional lab testing helps us see how well your cells are producing energy, whether nutrients are being absorbed effectively, and how inflammation may be draining your system. With this information, we can support your mitochondria, restore nutrient balance, and create a step-by-step plan to rebuild energy and reduce inflammation at the root level.

Autoimmune symptoms often feel mysterious, unpredictable, and overwhelming.  However, in spite of what it may feel like, there typically is a trigger. Inflammation, gut permeability, nutrient insufficiency, and immune activation all play a role. Functional testing allows us to assess gut integrity, inflammation markers, and other root contributors that may be triggering or worsening autoimmune responses. By identifying these patterns, we can develop a personalized protocol that reduces immune activation and supports long-term resilience.

Depression, anxiety, and mood fluctuations are often viewed in isolation, but they are deeply connected to gut health and nutrient status. Functional labs allow us to explore neurotransmitter precursors, nutrient deficiencies, inflammation, and even microbiome imbalances that may be contributing to mood challenges. By identifying what your brain and body need at a biochemical level, we can move beyond “band-aid” approaches and create a truly integrative plan for emotional balance.
