Simple AT-HOME Testing

All labs are specifically chosen for ease of use. They are completed at home and results are typically ready 3-4 weeks after the samples are mailed back to the labs. Once I have the data from your labs, we begin to rebalance the body, give you the raw materials you are missing, reduce toxicities, and help to create an improved baseline to better handle stress and all that life demands. Try your best. Ask questions. Seek the tweak. Don’t quit on yourself. Not now, not ever.

You want to maximize your time, money, and don’t have the mental bandwidth for another “you’re in normal range, so we aren’t exactly sure what’s wrong “from your conventional doctor.  Let’s deep dive through multiple lab tests for the missing pieces, more data, and a bigger picture. together.  The water’s warm, and you aren’t alone on the boat!

Fortify the building blocks that make you…you

Talking about minerals and vitamins may not be super cool and all the rage like drinking an expensive smoothie out of a trendy tumbler, you can run, but you can’t hide! They are THE critical building blocks and without them in proper balance, you may be wasting your money on lotions, potions, and supplements. Like a house, you must build it from the ground up! Test don’t guess. What are you needing, and where have you looked for it?

Most popular at-home labs

This test reveals mineral and electrolyte imbalances and toxic metal overload such as aluminum from your cookware and antiperspirant. Mercury from your dental fillings and sushi, and even lead! By examining your mineral imbalances, the HTMA looks at the deeper underlying root causes, which are keeping you from feeling well again. This lab also helps you discover your heavy metal toxicity and mineral levels. Some symptoms include breathing difficulty, tingling in extremities, rashes, joint pain, dizziness, low mood, allergies, asthma…and more! You can complete the lab right at home by taking just a few snippets of hair from the back of your head.

Bloating, gas, rashes, anxiety, reflux, headaches, autoimmune issues, just to name a few. This lab test is easily the most underrated lab for looking at the deepest root cause level of why you’re not feeling well. According to GPL Labs, The Organic Acids Test (OAT) 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. Also includes vitamin deficiencies. This is a one-sample urine test.

High cholesterol, inflammation, dry skin and hair, joint pain, vision issues? By now most people know how important it is to reduce inflammation in their body. But very few people test their levels to see how healthy their Omega-6 to Omega-3 ratios are. This lab allows you to look deep into your blood to see how you measure up and how balanced you really are. Research shows that if you have a 9% or greater saturation rate in your blood of Omega-3s, then you’re 90% less likely to die from sudden cardiac death. The reason why this statistic exists is because plaque or cholesterol does not tell the whole picture. And that’s because if your arteries can’t expand due to inflammation (too much Omega-6s) then you’re far more likely to have a cardiovascular event. So, by increasing your Omega-3 levels to balance your Omega-6s your overall cardiovascular and health profile should improve. This same test can be used to help with inflammatory muscle/joint pain, skin, nervous system issues, energy, mood, and much more. This is a blood spot/finger prick test that you place on a card and mail in. Easy Peasy. Really.

It could just as easily be your almonds, latte, or salad, as it could be your pizza, beer, or whole wheat crackers. Certain foods may not digest well in your gut and then lead to inflammation. That doesn’t mean we can never enjoy them again, but we just may need to give our body a rest from certain foods. IgG food sensitivity testing is different from typical food allergy testing that looks for severe, life-threatening, or immediate food reactions. You already might know of foods that trigger hives, headaches, low energy, moodiness, or acne. This state-of-the-art lab specializes in analyzing small droplets of blood that you place on a card and mail in. Your blood will then be tested against 190 of the most common foods and provide you with a personalized analysis of which foods you are mildly, moderately, and highly reactive to. This is the simplest and most straightforward way to get the results you need to begin making positive health changes in your life (or your children’s).

Life feels up and down. Some days you feel good and other days, just tanked. If it’s hormones that are out of balance, which ones? It sure would be great to target supplementation instead of spending a small fortune with no end in sight on Amazon or Whole Foods in hopes of something providing relief! You’re hot…or cold, and your libido is random at best. Sleep isn’t great and that feels like another area of your life where you’re just settling. Cravings and weight management feel like climbing Mt Everest, and you feel like you have tried things with no consistency to show for it. You want more, but is this all there really is? Sure, losing weight relates to caloric intake and how much you exercise, but did you know it also has everything to do with your hormones and stress levels? By looking at the hidden inflammatory triggers and hormone imbalances we can discover what is holding you back from the body you want and the results you deserve. This test is blood spot, and 4 saliva samples and also checks your A1C and Vitamin D levels.

Parasites are not as uncommon as you may think! World travelers, sushi eaters, and food truck lovers lend themselves to a higher probability, but that doesn’t mean if you shop local and like to eat in, you aren’t at risk. We don’t know unless we test. The gastro issues with this can be mild or seem debilitating. Have you felt chronically ill and ruled out other things? Do you experience UTIs, cystic acne, anemia, allergies, or itchy places you’d rather not scratch? The test is used to identify Ova & and parasites x 3 (Trichrome stain) plus antigens to Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium  parvum,  and  Helicobacter  pylori.  Occult  blood.  Visual  and  automated identification of bacteria, including, but not limited to: Citrobacter, Enterobacter, Enterococcus, Escherichia, Klebsiella, Proteus, and Pseudomonas. Visual and automated identification of yeast, including, but not limited to Candida. This test is an at-home stool test…yes in the privacy of your own bathroom!
