Functional Medicine Testing
​
We do extensive functional medicine testing to get a clearer picture of what is going on in your body’s ecosystem. This helps us identify and correct imbalances to make your tapering journey easier.
​
We order the test kits as soon as we get your demographics.
Below are the comprehensive functional medicine testing you can expect to have with us.
1. Prodrome Scan Test:
designed to identify biochemical deficiencies and imbalances, and
assesses current plasmalogen levels and the body's capacity to make plasmalogens.
​
2. Neurotransmitter Test:
3. Hair Mineral Test: This is a reliable tool to screen the dynamics of minerals and toxic mineral accumulation in the body.
​
Additional Tests:
1. Gut Health Test
This testing provides a comprehensive assessment of complete gut health, assessing the root cause of most GI complaints.
2. Nutritional Comprehensive Test
This test helps determine the basis for these health conditions as it provides a comprehensive test for identifying functional nutritional deficiencies and insufficiencies.
3. Hormone test
This test will provide a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites, as well as the patterns and distributions of each, giving us a visual result of the hormone pathways in a person’s body.
​
5. Epigenetic aging Test
This test is an aging algorithm that gives a more comprehensive picture of biological aging. It measures specific epigenetic patterns that are linked to aging and disease and compares that result against what would normally be expected for someone of your age.
6. Food sensitivity Test
