Functional Testing
Enjoy access to a wide array of testing. These tests help expand your knowledge about your own body but also help pave a clear path forward to ultimately achieving your wellness goals.
LEAP MRT
Oxford Biomedical Technologies is the true leader in the field of food sensitivity testing. Oxford offers the patented Mediator Release blood test (MRT), the most innovative and clinically useful test for hidden inflammatory responses to foods and food chemicals. MRT, when combined with a highly effective LEAP anti-inflammatory eating plan, provides quick and lasting relief for irritable bowel syndrome, migraine, fibromyalgia, and a wide range of other food sensitivity-related health problems. Both MRT and LEAP are foundational components of optimal health and wellness.
Precision Analytical DUTCH Complete Hormones
This advanced hormone testing was developed to improve on available hormone testing options. DUTCH offers the most extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones along with their metabolites. Additionally, the daily (diurnal) pattern of free cortisol is included, along with melatonin, oxidative stress, and six organic acids. This unique combination of clinical information is not available by any other method.
Diagnostic Solution GI Map
Is a comprehensive stool test that detects parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more.
The accuracy and reliability allows us to create personalized treatment protocols to address gut dysfunction.
Conditions that may warrant testing are:
- Autoimmune diseases
- IBS/IBD
- Digestive complaints, diarrhea, or constipation
- Brain fog
- Skin problems, like acne and psoriasis
- Mood disorder, depression, and anxiety
- Diabetes and weight loss issues
Note: Infants and children can also benefit from GI-Map testing. If your child suffers from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autism, and digestive complaints this test can help to bring greater clarity on their needs.
The Great Plains Laboratory Organic Acids Test
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 intestinal yeast and bacteria. Abnormally high levels of these microorganisms can cause or worsen behavior disorders, hyperactivity, movement disorders, fatigue and immune function. Many people with chronic illnesses and neurological disorders often excrete several abnormal organic acids in their urine. The cause of these high levels could include oral antibiotic use, high sugar diets, immune deficiencies, acquired infections, as well as genetic factors.
This test 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.
