Below is an overview of the most common tests I order and use as a guide to get to the root cause of your symptoms. The first three are included in my Signature Package:

GI Pathogen Screening: The Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is an FDA approved screening that includes markers for gluten sensitivity, inflammation in the gut, immunity in the gut, pancreatic enzyme sufficiency, and occult blood. It also looks for the presence of pathogens including H. Pylori and other bacteria, worms and viruses in the gastrointestinal tract. A critical first step in the healing process. We can’t heal the rest of the body without a healthy gut!

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: This screening allows us to look at your mineral balance levels over the past 2-3 months and see if you have any deficiencies. This is critical to know for energy production, hormone balancing, and adrenal and thyroid function. It allows to us to see if you have any heavy metals present as well and gives us an idea of how your metabolism is functioning.

Stress and Hormone Panel: Evaluates adrenal gland function and hormone balance. If you have energy slumps, weight issues, trouble sleeping, hormone imbalances, poor sexual function, or mood swings this test will provide great insight.

Add ons:

Food Sensitivity Screening: This screens for hidden inflammatory responses to 170 different foods and food-chemicals. This will help us to easily identify and eliminate dietary items that cause inflammation and dysfunction. Symptoms commonly associated with food sensitivities are IBS symptoms, headaches, brain fog, fatigue, joint pain, and skin conditions such as acne and eczema.

Neuro Focus Panel: This screening is great for anyone experiencing anxiety, depression, or other mood disorders and would like to work on balancing their neurotransmitter levels.
