Functional Lab testing is a key ally in identifying what’s hindering your journey to optimal health. The labs I use with my clients include:
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA): This functional test provides a detailed cellular reading of your body’s mineral and heavy metal levels. By analyzing recent hair growth samples, we gain insights into your body’s exposure to and elimination of various substances. This data helps prioritize personalized diet and lifestyle strategies to address your specific needs.
GI-MAP—Comprehensive Stool Testing: Despite its less-than-glamorous method, this test is crucial for understanding gut health. It delves deep into your microbiome, offering insights into what’s happening in your gut and guiding your approach to wellness.
MRT - Food Sensitivity Blood Test: While not always necessary, this test complements GI-MAP by identifying foods that may be triggering inflammation in your body. By temporarily eliminating these problematic foods while we repair your gut, we can pave the way for lasting health improvements.
Choosing which labs to pursue depends on your health concerns and goals.
