How to Order Functional Lab Tests

I am happy to share this link to our Functional Medicine Labshop.  This is a new website that allows you to order many functional lab tests.  If there is a test you are looking for that is not listed, please contact me ( gary@naturalcompounder.com). to see if that test is available. I have access to hundreds of test and can even customize some tests to fit your needs.

The fees posted are for the test kit, shipping and the results from the lab. 

When you receive the report, you can book a consultation with me to go over your history, symptoms, labs and we will work together to determine what you can do to feel better and get into better balance.

Functional medicine lab testing can provide several benefits, including:

1. Personalized approach: Functional medicine lab testing allows for a personalized approach to healthcare. It focuses on identifying the underlying causes of symptoms or diseases, rather than just treating the symptoms. Lab tests can help uncover imbalances, deficiencies, or dysfunctions in the body, which can guide targeted interventions and treatments.

2. Comprehensive assessment: Functional medicine lab testing offers a comprehensive assessment of various aspects of health, including hormone levels, nutrient status, gut health, immune function, inflammation markers, genetic predispositions, and more. This broader view can help identify interconnected factors contributing to health issues.

3. Early detection and prevention: Functional medicine lab tests can detect imbalances and dysfunctions in the body even before symptoms manifest. This early detection allows for proactive interventions to prevent the progression of diseases or conditions.

4. Individualized treatment plans: Lab test results in functional medicine help healthcare providers design individualized treatment plans. By identifying specific imbalances or deficiencies, practitioners can recommend targeted interventions, such as lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, nutritional supplements, or specific medications, to restore balance and optimize health.

5. Monitoring progress: Functional medicine lab testing allows for ongoing monitoring of progress and treatment effectiveness. By periodically retesting specific biomarkers, practitioners can assess the impact of interventions and make necessary adjustments to treatment plans.

6. Patient empowerment: Functional medicine lab testing encourages patient empowerment and engagement in their own healthcare. By providing individuals with a deeper understanding of their health, lab test results enable them to actively participate in their treatment decisions and lifestyle modifications.

7. Holistic approach: Functional medicine lab testing aligns with a holistic approach to health, considering the interplay of various bodily systems and environmental factors. It takes into account the intricate connections between nutrition, gut health, hormones, immune function, genetics, and lifestyle factors, leading to a more comprehensive and integrated approach to healthcare.

It’s important to note that functional medicine lab testing should be used in conjunction with a thorough clinical evaluation and should be interpreted by qualified healthcare professionals trained in functional medicine principles.  It is important to note that sometimes a lab value that is either high or low can be a healthy physiological response due to an imbalance in the body that it is working on. 

This is why labs should be used to help identify imbalances along with the client’s history, health issues, medication and supplements that are being taken.
