First Steps (Big 5 Labs)

By examining your mineral imbalances this test looks at the deeper underlying root causes, which are keeping you from feeling well again. This lab also helps you discover your heavy metal toxicity and mineral levels. Because of its price and comprehensive assessment, the Metals & Minerals test is my personal choice for getting started in Functional Medicine lab testing. You can complete the lab right at home by taking just a few snippets of hair from the back of your head.

This lab test is easily the most under-rated lab for looking at the deepest root cause level of why you're not feeling well. This test provides an accurate evaluation of intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids.

By now most people know how important it is to reduce inflammation in their body. But, very few people actually test their levels to see how healthy their Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios actually are. This lab allows you to look deep into your blood to see how you measure up and how balanced you really are. Research shows that if you have a 9% or greater saturation rate in your blood of Omega-3s, then you're 90% less likely to die from sudden cardiac death.* The reason why this statistic exists is because plaque or cholesterol does not tell the whole picture. And that's because if your arteries can't expand due to inflammation (too much Omega-6s) then you're far more likely to have a cardiovascular event. So, by increasing your Omega-3 levels to balance your Omega-6s your overall cardiovascular and health profile should improve. This same test can be used to help inflammatory muscle/joint pain, skin, nervous system issues, energy, mood, and much more.

IgG food sensitivity testing is different than typical food allergy testing that looks for severe, life-threatening or immediate food reactions. In my practice, I let people know that I don't see a need to test for foods that you already know you get hives, headaches, low energy, moodiness, or acne from.This state-of-the-art lab specializes in analyzing small droplets of blood that you place on a card and mail in. Your blood will then be tested against 190 of the most common foods, and provide you with a personalized analysis of which foods you are mildly, moderatly, and highly reactive to. This is the simplest and most straight forward way to get the results you need to begin making positive health changes in your life (or your children's).

Losing weight has less to do with the amount of calories you eat or how much you exercise, and everything to do with'hormone balance, cortisol levels, and metabolism. By looking at the hidden inflammatory triggers and hormone imbalances we can discover what is holding you back from the body you want and the results you deserve.

All labs at were specifically chosen for ease of use. That means I can mail out these labs anywhere in the US and globally to 24 countries and they can be completed by you the same week right at home. And that translates to better compliance, faster results, and happier healthier clients. All at-home lab tests take 3-4 weeks to get the results back after you've mailed them in.
