Functional Medicine Tests

Functional medical testing is an essential part of how I help my patients turn their health around.  These specialized tests provide invaluable insight into how your body is functioning, where there is a breakdown or blockage in your biochemical pathways and what we need to do to correct it.  Needless to say, this is well beyond anything a standard blood test can provide, and in my mind one of the best investments you can make in your health.


I spend a great deal of time with your results to determine how they fit into your overall health picture and what we need to do to strategically support your body.  I provide you with a written report that outlines both the findings and the implications, and we go through them together in detail during your appt.  When it comes to diagnostics, anyone can run a test…the real value lies in the interpretation. 

Following are some of the key functional medicine tests I use in my practice.  If there is a test you don’t see listed, please reach out and we can discuss whether it’s available.

This dried urine test analyzes your
overall adrenal gland function and its ability
to produce cortisol, cortisone and DHEA.
It helps us identify whether low cortisol is impacting
mood and energy so we can correct the imbalance.

This specialized blood test evaluates whether
you are making an IgG antibody reaction to up to
200 of the most common foods. It provides a clear,
individualized road map regarding which foods
your body can tolerate and those it cannot.

The GI Map Stool Test is a DNA analysis
of your stool.  It measures the  presence of
bacteria, yeast, parasites and viruses  in your gut.
It also measures GI inflammation, immune status
and your ability to digest fats, carbs and proteins.

The DUTCH Test assesses total and
individual hormone production, hormone
metabolism and clearance.  This analysis
includes cortisol.  This level of detail
is invaluable to help rebalance your body.

This specialized urine test evaluates
whether mold and its mycotoxins have remained
in your body after exposure. This test screens
for 11 different mycotoxins from 40
species of mold using mass spectrometry.

This blood test analyzes your complete thyroid
function including Anti-TPO, Anti-Thyroglobulin and
TSI antibodies. This allows for detection of any
thyroid dysfunction or autoimmune disease so we
correct the issue at the source.
