Food testing: US Biotek’s food sensitivity and food allergy testing is great for patients that have chronic GI issues, skin issues, fatigue and other problems. US Biotek has a wide range of panels that can be adapted to best fit your nutritional habits and give you a comprehensive assessment to see if you have any underlying food allergies or sensitivities. Alcat is another great food sensitivity test, it is a simple blood draw that measures your white blood cells’ response to foods and additives. The results indicate which substances are causing inflammation in your body. As a result, you are able to remove these triggers and decrease your symptoms. KBMO offers Food Sensitivity Testing that measures sensitivities to up to 176 different foods, coloring and additives using the Food Inflammation Test, also known as the FIT Test. The multiple pathway approach allows us to look at not only food sensitivities but also inflammation and gut permeability all from one test.
DUTCH sex hormone testing: The DUTCH Sex Hormone Metabolites is the ultimate test for monitoring hormone replacement therapy and is great for baseline measurements as well. It is a unique method for more accurate vaginal hormone and oral progesterone monitoring. Hormone imbalances can cause a vast array of symptoms which is why it’s important to know where you’re at.
DUTCH CAR testing: When we open our eyes upon waking, cortisol levels naturally begin to rise by an average of 50%. 30 minutes after waking, cortisol levels will still show this sharp increase. By 60 minutes after waking, cortisol levels have peaked and begin to decline. Measuring this rise and fall of cortisol levels at waking can be used as a “mini stress test”. High cortisol levels can be linked to many health issues which is why it’s important to know how your body is handling the daily stressors of life.
DIAGNOSTECHS adrenal hormone testing: If you are experiencing chronic stress, insomnia, anxiety and fatigue or you are having trouble losing weight the Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) Panel can help you discover the causes, by measuring cortisol and five other hormones through saliva over 24 hours.
DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS GI MAP stool testing: The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on health, including digestive, immune, metabolic and neuroendocrine functions. Assessing GI health with the proper tools can help practitioners get to the root cause of chronic illness. The GI-MAP from Diagnostic Solutions detects the presence of any parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more which can be treated with supplements, herbs and/or medications. If you have an autoimmune disease, IBS/IBD, diarrhea or constipation, brain fog, skin problems, like acne and psoriasis, mood disorders, depression, and anxiety or diabetes and weight loss issues this test may be right for you. ParaWellness Research has an even more advanced stool microscopy test that can go more in depth about what parasites may be in your body.
GENOVA Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth testing: Studies show that a large percentage of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is actually Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO). Genova’s non-invasive breath test can test for an overgrowth of bacteria in your small intestine. An even more comprehensive SIBO test available is Trio-Smart, it is the only three-gas breath test that measures all of the primary fermented gases produced in your gut: hydrogen, methane, and hydrogen sulfide. Each gas is created by a different type of organism which is why it is very accurate and precise.
MDL and IgeneX for Lyme and chronic viral infections. Called the “great imitator,” Lyme disease can present a variety of symptoms that mimic a wide range of illnesses, including chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, insomnia, and autoimmune disorders such as RA and Multiple Sclerosis (MS). In addition, many tick-borne infections go misdiagnosed for months because these nonspecific symptoms mirror other illnesses. Thus, laboratory testing is frequently required to confirm a diagnosis. IGeneX has a test that detects Lyme disease, Relapsing Fever, and other tick-borne diseases. MDL also has blood and urine testing available for different chronic infections that are spread by ticks.
MICROGENDx has a urine and vaginal swab test we use to assess for bacteria and fungi that may be causing UTI, BV, bladder infection, and other urogenital issues. More likely to detect infection than standard lab tests.
VIBRANT mycotoxins and MYMYCOLABS mold testing: Individuals most at risk for mycotoxin (mold) exposure include those who live or work in older buildings, those who have known exposure to water-damaged buildings, and those with impaired immune responses or higher levels of oxidative stress. Mycotoxins complicate human health in a number of ways and their presence in the human body can lead to a number of serious health concerns, including autoimmune disease and cancer. The Vibrant Mycotoxins test is a urine-based assay for 31 of the most common mycotoxins produced by molds to which humans are exposed.
MyMycoLab uses blood serum antibody testing to test for 12 different mycotoxins for both IgG and IgE antibodies.
GENOVA Nutrient Evaluation: The NutrEval is both a blood and urine profile that evaluates over 125 biomarkers and assesses the body’s functional need for 40 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support, and other select nutrients. This is a very comprehensive test that can help you assess any deficiencies so you can supplement or adjust your diet as necessary.
