Functional lab testing can provide valuable insights into you unique biochemistry, which can help inform targeted nutrition and supplement recommendations for improved health!
While traditional labs provide great information for disease states, functional labs can detect underlying causes of symptoms and imbalances.
All tests require a 1-hour lab review session.
I use the at-home functional stool test from Diagnostic Solutions, the GI-Map. The GI-MAP is a comprehensive stool test that can help identify any issues with your gut health. It uses a technology called qPCR to detect parasites, bacteria, fungi, digestive health, and more. There is also an option to add on a leaky gut marker (Zonulin).
I use a whole blood test from Vibrant America, the Micronutrient Panel. The Micronutrients Panel measures the levels of various vitamins and minerals in your body. This test can help identify any nutritional deficiencies or abnormalities affecting your health.
Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) is a leading cause of IBS and GERD. I use the 3-hour SIBO test from Genova Diagnostics to help identify if there is an overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestine. This non-invasive breath test involves drinking a lactulose solution and then collecting a breath sample periodically over the next three hours. The breath sample is then analyzed to determine if there is an overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestine.
The Wheat Zoomer serum test by Vibrant Wellness recognizes antibodies to wheat peptides to detect wheat and gluten-related disorders, intestinal permeability, celiac disease, and gluten-related autoimmunity.
