Functional Testing
Functional testing is a powerful tool that helps uncover the root causes of your health concerns, providing a deeper understanding of your body’s unique needs. By integrating advanced tests like the DUTCH, GI-MAP, and nutrigenomics testing, we can develop highly personalized and effective plans to optimize your health and amplify your results. These tests provide a targeted approach to achieving optimal wellness and long-lasting health.
GI-MAP Test
The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is the most accurate and comprehensive DNA-based stool analysis available, designed to provide an in-depth look at your gut health. This test uses advanced PCR technology to detect a wide range of pathogens, beneficial bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses, giving a clear picture of your microbiome and overall digestive function.
A GI-MAP gut health assessment can benefit almost every patient, from children and infants to adults. Some individuals may use this test to optimize their overall health, while others, who have been chronically ill and searching for answers for years, can find it particularly useful for identifying the underlying causes of their symptoms.
Conditions that may warrant GI-MAP testing include:
- Autoimmune diseases
- IBS/IBD
- Digestive complaints, including diarrhea and constipation
- Brain fog and cognitive issues
- Skin problems, such as acne and psoriasis
- Mood disorders, depression, and anxiety
- Metabolic conditions, including diabetes and weight loss challenges
By identifying imbalances and pathogens within the gut, the GI-MAP test, we can work together to create targeted treatment plans to address the root causes of symptoms and promote optimal health.
DUTCH Test
Millions of women experience hormone imbalances that can manifest as menopause symptoms, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, PMS, mood swings, or depression. If left undiagnosed, these symptoms can lead to more serious health issues. The DUTCH Test® (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) helps identify the root causes of these hormonal imbalances, providing crucial information to develop the most effective treatment plan tailored to each individual.
The DUTCH Test® offers a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones, along with their metabolites, through a simple, at-home urine collection process. This test is ideal for establishing baseline hormone levels and monitoring Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) without the need for invasive procedures. By using the DUTCH Test®, we can work together to regularly monitor and adjust your hormone levels, achieving and maintaining optimal hormonal balance.
Nutrition Genome Test
Nutrition Genome offers a comprehensive nutrigenomics test designed to analyze your unique genetic blueprint and how it influences your nutritional needs. This cutting-edge test evaluates over 100 clinically relevant genes to provide personalized insights into how your body metabolizes nutrients, manages inflammation, detoxifies, and regulates hormones.
By understanding your genetic predispositions, the Nutrition Genome test can help you optimize your diet and lifestyle for better health outcomes. Whether you’re looking to enhance athletic performance, support mental health, manage weight, or prevent chronic diseases, this test offers valuable information tailored specifically to your genetic makeup.
Conditions and health goals that may benefit from nutrigenomics testing include:
- Weight management and metabolic health
- Cardiovascular health
- Detoxification pathways
- Hormonal balance and fertility
- Mental health, including mood and cognitive function
- Athletic performance and recovery
- Food sensitivities and intolerances
With Nutrition Genome testing, we can work together to develop a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan that aligns with your genetic strengths and vulnerabilities, helping you achieve optimal health and wellness.
