Functional Lab Testing
GI-Map
The gut is the foundation of nearly every aspect of your health — your skin, hormones, immune system, mood, and energy all depend on it. That's why the GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is one of the first tests we turn to.
This advanced, at-home stool test is one of the most powerful tools in functional medicine. Using DNA analysis, it gives us a detailed look at what's actually living in your gut — detecting harmful bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, and other disruptions that may be driving your symptoms.
Beyond identifying pathogens, the GI-MAP also measures how well you're digesting and absorbing nutrients, your level of gut inflammation, and how your immune system is functioning — all from a single sample.
Markers: Opportunistic microbes, commensal keystone bacteria, pathogens, viruses, fungi, H. pylori, parasites, Beta-Glucuronidase, Occult Blood, Calprotectin, Steatocrit, Elastase, SIgA, and Anti-gliadin IgA.
Sample collection method: Stool
Food Sensitivity Testing
Healing starts with reducing inflammation — and you can't reduce what you can't identify. The Mediator Release Test (MRT) uncovers hidden inflammation triggers that traditional allergy testing consistently misses.
Developed by Oxford Biomedical Technologies, this patented blood test analyzes your immune system's response to up to 176 foods and food chemicals, giving us a clear, data-driven picture of what's quietly driving inflammation in your body.
Unlike standard IgG or IgA tests, the MRT measures subclinical inflammation — the kind that doesn't show up as an obvious allergic reaction, but still causes chronic, hard-to-trace symptoms like bloating, headaches, joint pain, brain fog, and fatigue.
Each food is rated on a green, yellow, or red scale so we can build a highly personalized, anti-inflammatory nutrition plan that removes your specific triggers and accelerates your healing from the root.
Sample collection method: Blood draw
Mucosal Barrier Assessment
The lining of your gut is your body's first line of defense — and when it's compromised, the effects can ripple far beyond your digestive system. The Mucosal Barrier Assessment is one of the most comprehensive gut permeability tests available, measuring not only leaky gut, but also the inflammation that so often accompanies it.
Using both dried blood spot and dried urine samples, this test measures Zonulin and its related family of peptides (Zonulin FP) — the most validated markers of intestinal permeability — alongside Histamine, Diamine Oxidase (DAO), and the critical ratio between the two. Histamine and DAO together reveal whether your gut is producing excess histamine and whether your body has the enzyme capacity to break it down, a key driver of symptoms like bloating, skin reactions, headaches, and food intolerances.
This test gives us a layered picture of gut barrier integrity and gut inflammation together — so we can address both the damage and what's driving it, rather than guessing.
Markers: Zonulin FP, Histamine, Diamine Oxidase (DAO), Histamine:DAO Ratio
Sample collection method: Dried Blood Spot
Hormone Panel
Your hormones are in constant conversation with one another — and when even one is out of balance, the ripple effects can show up everywhere. This comprehensive salivary hormone panel gives us a detailed look at your full hormonal picture, not just isolated numbers.
Using saliva samples collected throughout the day, this test captures your hormone levels at their most bioavailable state — the hormones your body is actually using. We measure not just your sex hormones, but also your adrenal function, cortisol patterns, and even melatonin, so we can understand how your body is responding to stress and regulating sleep.
Markers: Progesterone, Estradiol, Progesterone:Estradiol Ratio, Testosterone, DHEA-S, Diurnal Cortisol (AM, noon, afternoon, and bedtime), Total Cortisol:DHEA-S Ratio, Daytime Melatonin, and Secretory IgA
Sample collection method: Saliva
Metabolic Wellness Assessment
Your metabolism is about so much more than weight — it's a reflection of how well your body is digesting food, clearing toxins, and protecting itself from cellular damage. The Metabolic Wellness Profile gives us a window into three foundational processes that are often overlooked in conventional testing.
Using a simple dried urine collection, this test measures three key metabolic markers: Indican (a marker of protein digestion and bacterial overgrowth in the gut), Total Bile Acids (which reflect how well your liver and gallbladder are processing and clearing waste), and 8-OHdG (a marker of oxidative stress and DNA damage at the cellular level).
Together, these markers help us understand how efficiently your body is breaking down food, how well your detoxification pathways are functioning, and how much oxidative stress your cells are under — all of which can silently drive fatigue, brain fog, skin issues, digestive discomfort, and more.
Markers: Indican, Total Bile Acids, 8-OHdG
Sample collection method: Dried Urine
These are the five foundational labs that give us a complete look into root cause health. They take a look at all systems: hormonal, immune system, detoxification, digestion, nervous system, and oxidation rate.
