Advanced LAB Testing

We offer the following specialty laboratory tests:

  • SpectraCell Analysis (Vitamin, Mineral & Amino Acid Testing)–Measures intracellular levels of important nutritional factors, assisting in the identification of sub-optimal levels or deficiencies.
  • Saliva & Blood Female Hormone Testing- Useful for treating menstrual irregularities, peri-menopause, PCOS, fibroids, infertility, and other related disorders.
  • Neurotransmitter Testing (saliva & urine)– Useful in the treatment of anxiety, depression, bipolar, ADD/ADHD, anorexia nervosa, and other mental health disorders.
  • Adrenal Stress Index– Useful in identifying a common cause of fatigue, sleep disorders, depression, chronic stress, and other symptoms related to a disruption in cortisol rhythm.
  • Heavy Metal Testing (Challenged urine collection or hair analysis)– Many conditions have been associated with heavy metal toxicity (elevated total body burden). Random blood testing will only show an acute exposure to heavy metals and will not demonstrate that which has accumulated over time and been stored elsewhere in the body.
  • Food & Environmental Allergy Testing–IgG and IgE food allergy panels are performed.  IgG tests for food sensitivities and delayed reactions, where-as IgE tests for immediate anaphylactic reactions.
  • Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis– A complete assessment of normal and abnormal bacteria/parasites in addition to the degree of digestion taking place (enzymes and inflammatory markers measured).
