Functional Lab Testing
Health is built upon a strong foundation consisting of:
• Diet
• Lifestyle
• Hormones
• Digestion
• Detoxification
• Immunity
For many of our clients, addressing only the diet and lifestyle factors can be enough to achieve our objectives. However, some clients must go deeper beneath the surface, making functional lab testing necessary.
Examples:
• A male client, who has been unable to lose weight despite a perfect diet and appropriate exercise, may have a low testosterone level or elevated estrogen level. These hormonal imbalances will certainly hinder any weight loss progress. This client needs a Functional Adrenal Stress Profile.

• A client may have chronic insomnia with an inability to stay asleep. She awakens several times a night with sugar cravings and maybe night sweats. This client likely has hormonal imbalances (specifically melatonin) secondary to intestinal infection (parasites, bacteria, fungus/yeast). This client needs a Functional Adrenal Stress Profile and a GI Pathogens Screen.

• A client may have unexplained reactions to foods, such as acne and migraines, that have been difficult to identify through elimination diets. He has fluid retention, bloating, and is always hungry. This client likely has food sensitivities and is certainly in need of an LEAP MRT 150 Food Sensitivity Panel. He also would do himself well by ordering a Mucosal Barrier Screen to find out whether a leaky gut may be the cause of his food reactivities.

• A client may have insomnia, chronic fatigue, acid reflux, and digestive stress. This client likely has a GI pathogen such as H. Pylori infection and will need a GI Pathogens Screen.
