Lab Testing
Laboratory testing is used to inform clinical decision-making to meaningfully contribute to care. Lab recommendations are guided by clinical history, response to prior interventions, and the specific questions we are trying to answer
GI-Map
Used to assess gut microbiome balance, digestion, inflammation, and markers of immune activation. This test can be helpful in cases involving persistent gastrointestinal symptoms, immune dysregulation, or systemic inflammation.
Organic Acids Test (OAT)
Provides insight into metabolic function, mitochondrial activity, neurotransmitter-related markers, nutrient needs, and detoxification pathways. This lab is used to understand patterns contributing to fatigue, mood symptoms, cognitive changes, or complex chronic illness.
Mycotoxin Panel
Considered when environmental exposure may be contributing to persistent neurological, immune, or metabolic symptoms. This test is not used routinely and is recommended only when clinical history and response to care suggest potential relevance. Symptoms to consider are chronic stuffy nose, itchiness, GI symptoms, and dry couch.
DUTCH Hormone Testing
Used in cases to evaluate patterns of hormone production, metabolism, adrenal function, and stress physiology. This testing may be helpful in complex hormonal presentations when standard assessment does not provide sufficient clarity.
Additional testing may be recommended when clinically appropriate. The decision to pursue testing is always discussed collaboratively and based on individual presentation rather than a fixed testing protocol
