Functional Lab Testing
We believe true health insight doesn’t come from guessing—it comes from understanding the root cause.
Our Specialty Lab Testing includes functional lab testing options such as gut health testing, hormone testing, genetic testing, food sensitivity testing, metabolic testing, and detoxification analysis.
These tests are designed for individuals looking for deeper answers when symptoms are ongoing, results are unclear, or standard evaluations have not fully explained what is happening in the body.
Instead of focusing only on symptoms, we evaluate key biological systems to help identify potential imbalances, deficiencies, inflammation, digestive issues, hormonal disruption, or metabolic dysfunction.
Each lab test is selected by your provider based on your specific concerns and health goals, allowing for a more targeted and individualized approach to care.
Whether you are beginning your health journey or building on previous testing, these evaluations are used to guide more informed decisions and a clearer understanding of your overall health picture.
Explore each Specialty Lab category below to learn what it evaluates and how it may support your health goals.
Functional Labs
-
This category includes DNA-based genetic testing that helps evaluate how an individual may be biologically predisposed to process nutrients, regulate metabolism, respond to environmental factors, and maintain overall physiological balance.
Genetic testing may provide insight into areas such as metabolism, detoxification pathways, hormonal balance, neurological signaling, inflammation response, and nutritional needs.
Depending on clinical goals, your provider may select different genetic testing panels to help better understand potential underlying patterns that may influence overall health, wellness, and long-term risk factors.
This type of testing is often used in functional medicine to support more personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness strategies based on genetic predisposition.
-
This testing category evaluates gut health and digestive function using a combination of available laboratory methods selected by the provider.
Testing may include assessment of gut microbiome balance, digestive efficiency, immune-gut interactions, inflammation markers, intestinal health, and overall digestive function to help identify underlying factors that may be contributing to symptoms or digestive imbalance.
Gut and digestive health testing is commonly used in functional medicine to better understand concerns such as bloating, irregular digestion, food sensitivities, and overall gut function.
Depending on clinical needs, your provider may select different stool-based or functional digestive tests to evaluate digestive output, gut bacteria balance, immune markers, inflammation levels, presence of pathogens, and digestive enzyme function.
These insights help guide more targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness strategies based on individual digestive health needs.
-
This category includes comprehensive hormone testing options selected by the provider to evaluate overall hormone balance and endocrine system function.
Testing may assess reproductive hormones, adrenal function (including cortisol patterns), and metabolic hormones to help better understand how the body regulates energy, stress response, sleep, mood, and overall hormonal balance.
Hormone testing is commonly used in functional medicine for individuals experiencing symptoms related to hormone imbalance, stress dysregulation, fatigue, weight changes, or menstrual and reproductive health concerns.
Depending on clinical needs, your provider may select different hormone panels or advanced hormone testing methods to guide more targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness recommendations.
-
This category includes testing options that evaluate neurological and cognitive health using available laboratory methods selected by the provider.
Testing may assess neurotransmitter balance, nervous system function, and biochemical markers related to brain health, cognitive performance, mood regulation, stress response, and overall neurological balance.
Brain and cognitive health testing is commonly used in functional medicine for individuals experiencing concerns related to focus, memory, mental clarity, mood changes, sleep disruption, or stress-related symptoms.
Depending on clinical needs, your provider may select different neurological or functional testing options to help guide more targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness strategies.
-
This category focuses on metabolic health, energy production, and weight regulation. Providers may select testing options to evaluate how the body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, as well as how efficiently it produces and utilizes energy.
Testing may also assess factors related to metabolism, appetite regulation, blood sugar balance, and overall metabolic function to help better understand weight changes, energy levels, and nutritional processing.
Metabolic and weight management testing is commonly used in functional medicine for individuals seeking insight into weight fluctuations, difficulty losing weight, low energy, or concerns related to metabolic imbalance.
Depending on clinical needs, your provider may choose different metabolic testing options to guide more targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and wellness strategies.
-
This category includes testing options that evaluate how the immune system may react to specific foods and dietary components.
Testing may help identify patterns related to food sensitivities, immune response load, and dietary reactivity to better understand how certain foods may be influencing digestion, inflammation, energy levels, and overall wellness.
Food sensitivity testing is commonly used in functional medicine for individuals experiencing digestive discomfort, bloating, fatigue, or difficulty identifying foods that may not be well tolerated.
Depending on clinical needs, your provider may select different food reactivity or immune-based testing options to support more personalized nutrition strategies.
-
This category includes laboratory testing options used to assess the body’s exposure to environmental toxins and toxic burden.
Depending on provider selection, testing may evaluate heavy metals, mold-related exposure markers, environmental toxins, and other compounds that may accumulate in the body and impact overall health.
Detox and toxicity testing is commonly used in functional medicine to help better understand potential environmental exposures that may contribute to fatigue, brain fog, immune stress, or overall imbalance.
Based on clinical needs, your provider may select different testing methods to help guide targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and detoxification support strategies.
Please note: The integrative visit fee is separate from lab testing and follow-up review appointments. Lab costs vary depending on the testing selected, and lab review appointments are scheduled after results are available.
