Diagnostic Labs

Stool/Urine Testing

The Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (CDSA) is a great way to evaluate digestive issues by assessing the microbial balance (probiotics), efficiency of breaking down carbs/fat/protein, gut inflammation, gut/mucosal immunity, prebiotics (SCFAs), and more. We use Doctor's Data with our patients but we can order/interpret Genova and GI MAP

​

The 24-hour urine hormone metabolite screening offers an assessment of estrogen metabolites that may be increasing your at risk for reproductive cancers, like breast or prostate cancer. We use Doctor's Data or DutchTest with our patients.

Blood Testing

Blood testing is critical for evaluation of cardiovascular health and health optimization.  We find extensive testing for inflammation, nutrients and hormones like thyroid, sex hormones and Vitamin D are foundational to prevention medicine.  There are also a variety of markers that can be used to evaluate digestive health, cardiovascular risk, blood sugar issues, nutrients, immune system function, tick borne infections, autoimmunity, viruses (acute and chronic) and more.

 

After your initial visit, you'll likely be recommended to have extensive blood testing to evaluate these depending on your condition.

​

We now offer on-site blood draws through LabCorp and Vibrant Wellness!

Breath/Saliva Testing

The SIBO breath test tells us about overgrowth of hydrogen and methane producing bacteria, which can cause abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and more. 

 

Saliva testing is done to evaluate the functionality of your hormones, like your adrenals and sex hormones. The adrenals manage your circadian rhythm (sleep and wake cycle), your stress hormone cortisol, neurotransmitters, and more. Dysfunction of this gland causing blood sugar, hair changes, mood changes and afternoon fatigue, to name a few. A four-point cortisol (saliva test done at 4 times throughout the day) is the best way to evaluate how the adrenals are functioning. We've found lately, at least half of our menstruating female patients have more accurate hormone results with saliva testing over blood testing. We use Doctor's Data for both cortisol and sex hormone testing or DiagnosTechs™ for saliva cortisol testing only.
