Lab Testing

Test the ranges that matter.

Optimal, not just ‘in-range’.

Comprehensive and functional lab testing that looks for the slide toward imbalance before it becomes a diagnosis. Blood panels, food sensitivity, gut & GI, DNA, cancer markers, hormones, autoimmune, heavy metals, and more — ordered through a caregiver visit and read against optimal ranges, not just normal ones.

01

Choose your labs

Browse the categories below and note what fits your story. Not sure? That’s what the consult is for.

02

Book a lab consult

A caregiver visit to confirm the right panels, order them, and read the results against optimal ranges.

03

Get a real plan

Functional interpretation — not just ‘normal’ or ‘abnormal’ — and a targeted protocol from the findings.

Not sure where to start?

Book a lab consult and a caregiver will help you choose the right panels for your history, symptoms, and goals — no guesswork, no over-testing.

What you can order

Every panel is ordered through a caregiver visit and interpreted functionally. This isn’t a self-checkout cart — it’s guided lab work that makes sense for your whole picture.

Comprehensive Blood Panels

See the whole picture, not just the flags.

Beyond a basic annual — comprehensive blood work that reads your hormones, thyroid, blood sugar, liver, kidney, lipids, and inflammation together, so the pattern shows before the diagnosis does.

  • Comprehensive metabolic panel
  • CBC with differential
  • Thyroid panel (TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3)
  • HbA1c, fasting insulin & glucose
  • Lipid panel (apoB, lp(a))
  • Iron, ferritin & TIBC

Food Sensitivity & Allergy

Find what’s quietly winding you up.

Chronic symptoms often trace back to the plate. Food sensitivity and allergy testing looks at IgG, IgE, and histamine responses — especially useful for the MCAS, autoimmune, and “everything’s inflamed” crowd.

  • IgG food sensitivity panels (96+ foods)
  • IgE true allergy panels
  • Histamine & DAO (MCAS-related)
  • Celiac & gluten panels
  • Cross-reactivity & oral tolerance
  • Elimination-guided re-introduction

Gut Health & GI Testing

The gut runs the show. See what it’s up to.

Your gut is the root system of the whole body. Comprehensive stool analysis, microbiome mapping, SIBO breath testing, and pathogen screening show what’s growing where it shouldn’t — and what’s missing where it should.

  • Comprehensive stool analysis (GI-MAP / GI Effects)
  • Microbiome & diversity mapping
  • SIBO & IMO breath testing
  • Pathogen & parasite screening
  • Leaky gut & intestinal markers (zonulin, calprotectin)
  • Digestive enzymes & absorption

Genetic & DNA Testing

Read the blueprint, not the headline.

Genetics don’t seal your fate — they show your terrain. DNA testing for chronic illness predisposition, methylation pathways, and pharmacogenomics helps us build care that works with your wiring, not against it.

  • MTHFR & methylation pathways
  • Detox & glutathione genetics (GST/GPX)
  • Chronic illness predisposition panels
  • Pharmacogenomics (medication response)
  • APOE & cardiovascular genetics
  • Personalized protocol from your blueprint

Cancer Markers & Screening

Look early. Look upstream.

Cancer screening and tumor markers that catch what’s worth catching, early — without anxiety-driven over-testing. We pair standard screening with functional markers and a prevention-minded read of your terrain.

  • Tumor marker panels (CEA, CA-125, PSA, etc.)
  • Inflammation & immune-surveillance markers
  • Liquid biopsy & advanced screening referrals
  • Prevention-minded terrain assessment
  • Hormone-related cancer risk panels
  • Coordinated follow-up & imaging referrals

Hormone & Endocrine Panels

Hormones run everything. Read them all.

Full-spectrum hormone testing — sex hormones, cortisol rhythm, thyroid, and the metabolites that tell the real story. Dutch hormone testing and diurnal cortisol mapping show the rhythm conventional labs miss.

  • DUTCH complete hormone panel
  • Sex hormones & metabolites (estrogens, androgens)
  • Diurnal cortisol & cortisone rhythm
  • Full thyroid with antibodies
  • DHEA & adrenal markers
  • Perimenopause / menopause panels
Order these labs

Autoimmune Panels

Find the friendly fire before it flares.

Autoimmunity is one of the great tangle-makers. ANA, antibody panels, and immune screening catch the signal early — then we map the triggers: infections, food, stress, and the environment lighting it up.

  • ANA & autoimmune screening
  • Specific antibody panels (TPO, Hashimoto’s, etc.)
  • Celiac & autoimmune cross-reactivity
  • Inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR, cytokines)
  • Trigger mapping: infections, food, environment
  • MCAS & mast-cell markers
Order these labs

Heavy Metals & Detox

What’s in your system shouldn’t be.

Toxic burden is a root cause hiding in plain sight. Heavy metal and mineral screening shows what’s accumulating — and whether your detox pathways can keep up. We pair the test with a real, supported protocol.

  • Heavy metals (lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium)
  • Essential mineral balance
  • Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA)
  • Glutathione & detox pathway markers
  • Urinary & provocation testing
  • Supported, paced detox protocols
Order these labs

Inflammation & Immune Function

Quiet the fire before it spreads.

Chronic, low-grade inflammation is the soil every chronic condition grows in. Cytokine panels, CRP, oxidative stress, and immune-function testing show where the embers are — so we don’t wait for the flare.

  • High-sensitivity CRP & ESR
  • Cytokine & inflammatory panels
  • Oxidative stress markers
  • Natural killer (NK) cell function
  • Immune deficiency screening
  • MCAS-related mediators

Micronutrient & Deficiency

You can’t run on empty.

Symptoms are often just deficiencies in disguise. Intracellular micronutrient testing measures what’s actually inside the cell — not just what’s floating in your blood — so supplementation is targeted, not guesswork.

  • Intracellular micronutrient panel
  • B-vitamin status (B12, folate, B6)
  • Vitamin D (25-OH & 1,25-OH)
  • Magnesium, zinc & trace minerals
  • Amino acids & fatty acids
  • Targeted repletion plans

Functional interpretation, not just a printout

Standard labs flag disease, not dysfunction. Our caregivers read your results against optimal ranges — the ranges where you actually feel good, not just the ranges where nothing is officially wrong. Every order goes through a consult, so you get the right tests and a plan that follows them.

Some specialized panels (genetics, advanced GI, liquid biopsy) are ordered through our partner labs and may require a referral. We’ll walk you through every step.
