Functional Testing
Get to the root of your health concerns, and start seeing results faster.
Your health is like a puzzle: every symptom, habit, and nutrient is a piece that needs to fit together to form the bigger picture of wellness. Functional testing helps us uncover the missing pieces, showing us what’s really going on beneath the surface. By identifying the why behind your symptoms, we can create a personalized plan that targets the root causes, not just the surface-level frustrations.
We’ve carefully researched and chosen only the most reliable, evidence-based tests so you can feel confident in the insights you receive!
Available Functional Tests
Functional testing options can be explored during your initial consultation! Your dietitian will assist you in determining the most suitable test(s) for your needs.
We call also assist in ordering basic blood work including thyroid panels, hormone panels, BMP, CBC, lipid panel, A1C etc.

The research clearly shows that gut health isn't just about digestion—it plays a huge role in overall well-being.
The bacteria, yeasts, fungi, and more (our gut microbiome) influence our diet, immune system, metabolism, mood, and hormones.
The GI Map Test (GI Microbial Assay Plus) is a stool test that assesses your gut microbiome for bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens, microbial balance, and other intestinal health markers, such as low immune function, poor pancreatic elastase output, or intestinal permeability.
We can precisely identify the underlying cause(s) of digestive symptoms using the GI Map results.
This enables us to adopt a targeted approach to rebalancing the gut and nurturing a thriving microbiome for optimal health.

The Mediator Release Test is a simple, patented blood test that identifies our body’s reactions to 140 foods and 30 food chemicals by measuring the number of mediators released and the subsequent changes in white blood cells.
By identifying food sensitivities, we can accurately determine which specific foods trigger an immune response, eliminating the need for extensive elimination diets.
This targeted approach allows for more efficient and personalized dietary interventions.

Intracellular Micronutrient testing is a specialized form of nutritional testing that assesses the levels of essential vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients within the body's cells.
It provides a more accurate reflection of the nutrient status within the cells where they are used.

DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) testing is a cutting-edge diagnostic tool used to assess hormone levels and their metabolites in the body. Unlike traditional blood or saliva tests, DUTCH testing provides a comprehensive picture of hormone balance by analyzing multiple hormone pathways.
DUTCH testing offers insights into hormonal rhythms and imbalances, aiding in the personalized management of conditions such as adrenal fatigue, estrogen dominance, and thyroid dysfunction.
