Functional Medicine Testing

Functional medicine testing goes beyond standard lab work to identify underlying imbalances in the body. It focuses on how systems such as digestion, metabolism, immune health, and hormones are functioning together, rather than just screening for disease.

Traditional lab tests often check for disease markers or conditions that are already advanced. Functional medicine testing looks for subtle dysfunctions, nutrient deficiencies, or imbalances that may be contributing to symptoms before they become a serious problem.

It can reveal food sensitivities, gut microbiome imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, thyroid and adrenal issues, hormonal changes, and markers of inflammation or oxidative stress.

Anyone struggling with chronic symptoms, such as fatigue, digestive problems, brain fog, weight changes, sleep disturbances, or mood swings, may benefit. It’s also helpful for people wanting a proactive approach to long-term wellness.

Depending on your needs, testing may include bloodwork, saliva, urine, or stool analysis. These tests provide detailed insights into your body’s systems.

Most results are available within 1–3 weeks, depending on the type of test.

We will review the results with you, explain what they mean, and create a personalized plan that may include nutrition, lifestyle changes, supplements, or other therapies to restore balance.

Some aspects may be covered, but many specialized tests are not. We’ll review costs and help you understand your options before testing.

This varies by individual. Some patients retest every 6–12 months to track progress, while others may only need testing once to guide their care plan.

It helps uncover the why behind your symptoms, giving you a clear picture of what’s happening in your body and a roadmap to improve your health at the root level.
