Curious what your body’s been trying to tell you?
So many of us leave the doctor’s office feeling defeated. You’re told everything looks “normal” but nothing about your body feels that way. That’s because the system is built to treat symptoms, not ask why they’re happening in the first place.
Functional lab testing takes out the guesswork and gives you the why. These are the tools I use to uncover what’s going on beneath the surface - from gut health to toxins, inflammation and stress patterns.
True healing begins with clarity. These labs help to uncover the hidden stressors and imbalances that are often missed — but deeply impact how you feel. Every body is different and I honor your bio-individuality, so I carefully select labs that will offer the most clarity and impact for where you are in your journey - so we can get answers that actually move the needle.
I don’t diagnose or treat disease. Instead, I use lab data as a roadmap — combining it with nutrition, targeted supplementation, and lifestyle shifts to help your body do what it was designed to do: heal.
These tests are available exclusively to clients - because healing requires guidance and intention.
*All of my clients do a GI MAP, BLOOD PANEL and ADRENAL FUNCTION PROFILE. Other tests are recommended per symptoms/history or as desired.

Collection method: Stool (at home)
This test analyzes your microbiome in detail, showing us the balance (or imbalance) of good and bad bacteria, yeast, viruses, parasites, and pathogens - like H. pylori, Candida, or parasites. It also gives us insight into your digestive function, inflammation, immune activity and even gut permeability.
Key markers include:
• Zonulin – a key marker for leaky gut
• Steatocrit – how well you’re breaking down and absorbing fats
• Elastase – enzyme output from your pancreas (how well you’re breaking down food)
• Beta-glucuronidase – linked to hormone detox and estrogen dominance
• Secretory IgA – your first line of immune defense in the gut
• Calprotectin – an inflammation marker
• Anti- gliadin – a gluten sensitivity marker
• H. pylori and virulence factors
• Candida, parasites, and pathogenic bacteria
• Opportunistic and commensal bacteria
Your gut is the gateway to your entire body. It impacts your hormones, mood, energy, immune system, skin, detox pathways, and more. If the gut isn’t functioning well, nothing else will either. This test helps us get to the why behind symptoms like bloating, fatigue, acne, brain fog, constipation, autoimmunity, and anxiety - so we can create a protocol that actually works.

Collection method: Blood draw (at lab)
Unlike standard labs that only flag disease when it’s already present, I interpret your bloodwork through a functional lens. That means I’m not just looking for what’s “normal” - I’m looking for what’s optimal. Standard lab ranges are based on the average of a sick population, which is why so many people get told their labs are fine while still feeling off. Functional ranges are tighter and more proactive, designed to catch imbalances and dysfunction before they spiral into disease.
This panel goes far beyond a basic workup. It includes:
• A full thyroid panel with antibodies
• A full iron panel (TIBC, UIBC, Ferritin, Iron)
• Inflammation markers (CRP, Homocysteine, ESR)
• Blood sugar and insulin regulation
• Liver and kidney health
• Immune and cardiovascular markers
• Vitamin D, uric acid, electrolytes
• And a complete urinalysis for additional insights
This gives us a clear picture of your metabolic, immune, hormonal, and detox pathways. With just one blood draw, we can connect so many dots - often uncovering hidden stress patterns, early signs of dysfunction, or nutrient depletion you didn’t even realize were playing a role.

Collection method: Saliva (at home)
Cortisol is your body’s primary stress hormone - essential for energy, focus, blood sugar balance and inflammation control. In short bursts, it’s protective. But when stress becomes chronic, cortisol shifts from helpful to harmful.
That’s where the HPA axis comes in - your brain’s communication with your adrenal glands (producers of cortisol). In the early stages of stress, your body overproduces cortisol to keep up. You may feel wired, anxious or like you’re running on adrenaline. If stress is unrelenting, over time this output begins to crash. Cortisol levels drop and fatigue, brain fog and burnout start to set in. This isn’t just feeling tired - it’s your body adapting to survive.
And DHEA plays a crucial role here. It’s another adrenal hormone that helps buffer stress and acts as a precursor to your sex hormones. Looking at both cortisol and DHEA together gives us a fuller picture of your stress response and adrenal resilience. When DHEA is low, it often signals longer term stress exposure, deeper HPA axis dysfunction and sex hormone imbalances that need support.
This test helps us pinpoint exactly what stage of HPA axis dysfunction you’re in, how your adrenals are coping and what your body needs to recover.

Collection method: Urine (at home)
One of the most comprehensive environmental toxicity panels available - assessing three major categories of toxins that could be burdening your body: mycotoxins (mold), heavy metals, and environmental toxins (chemicals, plastics, pesticides, and pollutants).
This test gives us a wide lens view of your total toxic load and helps uncover hidden root causes of chronic symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalances, gut issues, inflammation, histamine intolerance and more.
It detects 87 different toxins that may be stored deep in your tissues and impacting your detox pathways, mitochondria, hormones, nervous system, and immune health. Toxins are often the missing link when people have tried everything and still aren’t feeling better.
Knowing your toxic load allows us to create a strategic and safe detox protocol tailored to your body’s current capacity.

Collection method: urine (at home)
This test provides a full metabolic snapshot of how your body is functioning beneath the surface - with 76 markers covering key areas like gut health, mold and candida overgrowth, nutrient status, detox pathways, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter balance, mitochondrial function, and more.
It’s one of the few tests that identifies oxalate overload, which is often linked to chronic pain, inflammation and neurological symptoms. The OAT is especially helpful for those dealing with fatigue, brain fog, mood issues, anxiety, poor detoxification, chronic illness or unresolved gut problems.

Collection method: blood draw (at lab)
This test reveals how your immune system responds to 140 foods and 30 chemicals - not just on the surface, but at the cellular level, where inflammation begins.
You could be eating the cleanest, most well intentioned diet - but if your immune system sees certain foods as a threat, it can keep your body stuck in a cycle of inflammation, symptoms and stagnation. For many of my clients, this is the missing link when gut healing, energy and symptom relief have plateaued.

Collection method: blood draw (at lab)
This test detects immune responses to pathogens that may be triggering chronic inflammation, autoimmunity and driving unexplained symptoms.
Rather than looking for active infections, this panel evaluates whether your immune system has created antibodies against 24 different pathogens, including viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi - many of which are known environmental or infectious triggers for autoimmune and chronic conditions. It helps uncover hidden immune burdens that may be keeping your body in a prolonged inflammatory state, like Lyme disease for example.
This test is especially helpful for those who:
• Have chronic symptoms with no clear root cause
• Suspect autoimmune activity or have a diagnosed autoimmune condition
• Have not responded well to treatment
• Have a history of recurring infections or immune challenges
