Lab Testing

Still Throwing Spaghetti At The Wall

To See What Sticks?

You've tried everything - yet you're not seeing results or feeling heard. 

Maybe you have even been told everything is "normal" or you're just getting older.


Sound familiar?


Conventional blood tests may not always offer enough information and are limited in providing a more comprehensive representation of nutritional health status. 


More sophisticated testing can provide clarity to complex conditions which is useful in providing more targeted nutritional treatment plans. 

Live Blood Analysis & Oxidative Stress Testing

This technique has been used extensively in Europe for decades. Using a single drop of finger-pricked blood and a dark field microscope I can assess over 50 aspects of one's state of health for nutritional purposes.


  • microbial status
  • gut function
  • blood viscosity
  • yeast / fungal dysbiosis
  • toxin accumulation
  • liver / gallbladder function
  • kidney function
  • nutrient requirements
  • thyroid
  • adrenal
  • need for antioxidants
  • mineral loss


Specimen Requirements:  Blood drawn from fingertip prick


Please FAST 4 hours, drinking water only and arrive well hydrated.  No gum, candy etc during the 4 hours. 

Food Sensitivity Testing

Specific and highly sensitive, our analytical IgG tests can shine a light on possible enzymatic imbalances that may be contributing to food sensitivities.


Based on where our body breaks down specific food groups, there are particular enzymes it uses for that purpose.


Whether it’s proteins, fats or carbs, there’s an enzyme for that, and food sensitivity testing can be a helpful tool in assessing enzymatic imbalances.


Specimen Requirements:  Blood drawn from fingertip prick

Female Hormone Testing

Designed specifically for women, this suite of tests offers a great foundational evaluation of hormonal balance and adrenal function.


Women of all ages can be affected by hormone imbalance and those who are still menstruating may experience premenstrual syndrome, mood swings, anxiety, painful periods and infertility.


Menopausal women often experience night sweats, hot flashes, sleep disturbances, accelerated bone loss and many other sensations related to hormone imbalances.

  • Progesterone
  • Estradiol
  • Progesterone:Estradiol Ratio
  • Testosterone
  • DHEA-S
  • Cortisol - AM, noon, PM and bedtime

Organic Acid Testing

The Organic Acids Test (OAT) offers a comprehensive metabolic snapshot of a patient’s overall health with 76 markers.  


It provides an accurate evaluation of 18 species of intestinal yeast and bacteria.


Our Organic Acids Test also includes markers for vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, and is the only OAT to include markers for oxalates, which are highly correlated with many chronic illnesses including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
