Functional Labs
If you’re “doing all the things” and still not feeling your best, functional lab testing may be for you.
Functional lab work can help to provide an in-depth look at how the body is functioning, and how we can best support healing. Lab analysis provides answers for those that are already practices the foundations — eating nourishing whole foods, getting sunlight, practicing good sleep hygiene, moving their bodies, and reducing toxins and stressors where possible.
Unlike conventional lab testing, functional testing doesn’t seek to diagnose illness, rather it provides insights into possible deficiencies and imbalances in the body before disease develops. Rather than comparing to a broad population (including many unwell individuals), functional testing uses much narrower ranges, comparing only to a healthy population — we’re going for thriving, not merely surviving.
All prices listed include a video presentation going over your results and protocol, a protocol summary document, and 1 follow-up email for questions and clarifications.

HTMA
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis uses a small sample of hair to give a detailed look into mineral status, which provides insights into the function of the nervous system, adrenal glands, thyroid, and overall metabolic activity. Both deficiencies and toxicities can be identified and addressed through tailored dietary changes, detoxification support, and lifestyle adjustments.

DUTCH Hormone Analysis
The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Testing for Comprehensive Hormones) uses samples of urine to assess the production and metabolism of sex hormones, as well as the diurnal rhythm and metabolism of cortisol. The DUTCH also includes an organic acids portion, which includes markers for oxidative stress, gut dysbiosis, nutritional deficiencies, neurotransmitter production, melatonin, and more.
$589
Functional Analysis of Blood Work
A comprehensive blood analysis including thyroid, cholesterol, complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, histamine, vitamin D, and several other markers depending on your specific case. I compare these values to functional ranges (healthy population only) so that we can detect imbalances before disease develops.
