WHAT CAN WE TEST?
Update Basic Labs
Haven't had a physical in some time? Update fasting insulin, fasting glucose, hemoglobin A1C, vitamins and minerals including B, B6, B12, Folate, Zinc, Copper, Vitamin D, basic inflammatory markers, & CBC. Deficiencies in these areas can be connected to many mental health concerns. Covered by your existing insurance policy.
Toxin Burden
The Total Tox Burden test is an extensive toxin panel that detects levels of heavy metals, mold toxins, chemicals, and other environmental toxins that can build up in your body and be caused by environmental factors, leading to inflammation and chronic illness. This test is our most thorough and complete toxin panel, as it combines measurments for heavy metals, mycotoxins, and environmental toxins labs.
Food Sensitivies
IgG 1-4 and C3d Food Sensitivity testing will uncover your body's reaction to certain foods as well as food allergies without performing a drawn out elimination diet.
Parasitic Infection
Fecal Testing through GI mapping can detect the presence of unwanted visitors that can wreak havoc on your system!
Expanded Thyroid Panel
Many doctors only perform basic thyroid tests that do not uncover subtle metabolic changes that can signal a larger issue such as Hashimoto's. Our practitioners will perform an expanded thyroid panel to show immune system activity and possible dysfunction. Thyroid disfunction can be connected to depression & anxiety. This test is covered by your existing insurance policy.
Stress & Adrenal Fatigue
There are several tests available to show stress levels and potential adrenal fatigue. Our preferred tests are AM cortisol or The Dutch Complete Test, which shows cortisol patterns over an extended period of time. Low or elevated stress hormones play a huge role in mental health disorders.
Hormonal Imbalance
We can test male and female sex hormones which, if imbalanced, may lead to mental health concerns, infertility, adult acne, weight gain, low sex drive, and more. Estrogen Dominance and or testosterone dominance in women are two of the issues we see the most.
Genetic Testing & Chemical Imbalance
Genesite testing can show which medications have the potential to relieve your mental health symptoms best with the least amount of side effects. Get off the medication roller coaster and use your lab results to make informed decisions about what's right for you. Organic Acid testing can show dysfunction in neutrotrasmitters such as dopamine and serotonin, giving you definitive answers about chemical imbalance.
Inflammation & Metabolic Dysfunction
Our Organic Acid testing measures the levels of organic compounds in urine that are produced in the body as a part of many vital biochemical pathways. It's used to check for rare inborn genetic defects of metabolism, bacterial overgrowth, fat and carbohydrate metabolism, cellular functioning, oxidative stress, presence of toxins, and more.
GI Mapping & Gut Health
Our Organic Acid Test is as an indicator of dysbiosis, an abnormal overgrowth of yeast and bacteria in the intestinal tract often referred to as candida. Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP™) is a test to determine what microbes are in a patient's stool sample, and in what quantities. It works by repeatedly copying any DNA in the sample and then analyzing what and how much DNA it finds.
Women's Health Issues
The Dutch Cycle Mapping Test is designed for cycling women who struggle with ongoing symptoms such as monthly migraines, fertility issues, or PCOS. The addition of the cortisol awakening response (CAR), a transient, immediate rise in cortisol upon awakening (distinct from the diurnal rhythm), this test provides a fuller assessment of hormone fluctuations, baseline stress response, additional androgen hormones, & DHEA-S.
Insomnia Causes
Our Dutch Complete test shows melatonin status over an extended period to detect insomnia caused by hormonal factors.
