Functional testing is invaluable in uncovering chronic or inexplicable health conditions. Functional tests are only recommended with an initial consultation and a required return consultation. The tests detailed down below are used most often to determine the underlining cause of the health issue but, depending on the health picture, may be recommended another type of test. Functional tests that I provide cover the following areas:
Reproductive hormone
Adrenal/stress profile
Comprehensive thyroid panel
Allergy and intolerance testing (food and environmental)
Gene testing
Neurotransmitters Extensive testing
Comprehensive microbiome mapping

DUTCH Plus (Complete Hormone Test)
The DUTCH Plus® takes hormone testing to a whole new level. In addition to sex hormones and their metabolites (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), this DUTCH test looks at the overall diurnal pattern of free cortisol, and the total and distribution of cortisol metabolites. The DUTCH Plus® adds the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) to bring another important piece of the HPA-axis into focus.

Complete Microbiome Mapping
This test was designed to assess a patient’s microbiome from a single stool sample, with particular attention to microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance and may contribute to perturbations in the gastrointestinal (GI) flora or illness. The panel is a comprehensive collection of microbial targets as well as immune and digestive markers. It screens for pathogenic bacteria, commensal bacteria, opportunistic pathogens, fungi, viruses, and parasites. It primarily uses automated DNA analysis to give integrative and functional medicine practitioners a better view into the gastrointestinal microbiome.
