Lab Testing

We offer comprehensive lab testing so that you can create an informed strategy to move your health forward.

We are ambitious about your assessment.

We believe that data should drive decision-making.

Our core assessment centers around a lab panel called "Your Ambitious Annual". It is a panel of standardized lab tests that assess your metabolic profile, cardiovascular health, energy production, liver and kidney function, as well as inflammation. Additionally, we can facilitate an array of functional testing for your digestive health, hormone balance, and nutrition status as needed. Lab testing is ordered strategically with the support of your Naturopathic doctor to ensure it is helping you achieve clarity on the goals you would like to achieve.

Hormone Testing

We help you find balance without overspending

Lab testing needs to generate outcomes. Hormone testing can be very important for making key decisions like identifying PCOS, fertility assessments, thyroid function autoimmune, and perimenopause. However, hormone levels do not always correlate with symptoms, and for some people hormone testing will not help them get the results they are looking for.

We will help you develop an assessment strategy that will work for you. We order testing when it matters.

We offer hormone testing through Life Labs


Female Hormone Panel

The Female Hormone Panel includes the following tests:

  • Cortisol AM
  • Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulphate (DHEAS)
  • Estradiol
  • Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
  • Luteinizing Hormone (LH)

  • Free Thyroxine (FT4)
  • TSH

Digestive Health

GUT health is connected to immune health, metabolic health, the nervous system, and hormone balance.

Digestive symptoms can be confusing. Testing done in the right context can provide clarity. We can help you decide if testing is helpful and which test you should consider to achieve the outcomes you are looking for.


GI Map Test

Many of our clients choose the GI Map Test as part of a comprehensive review of digestive health function including Pathogens, H. Pylori, Keystone Bacteria, Opportunistic Bacteria, Fungi and Yeast, Viruses, and Parasites. This test also includes digestive health markers for protein and fat digestion, inflammation, immune upregulation, and oxidative stress.

Food Sensitivity Testing

Feel like there is something in your diet that is bothering you but you are exhausted from the guesswork? FST testing can offer clarity. Food sensitivities can affect your quality of life by driving up inflammation and associated symptoms like headaches, fatigue, postnasal drive, and digestive health disturbance.

Nutrient Status

We are what we absorb

Many of our top performers want confirmation that their nutrition plan is delivering the vitamins and minerals they need to succeed. Serum levels of vitamins and minerals are a reflection of current intake and this assessment can be used for nutrition optimization and when malabsorption or nutrient deficiency are suspected.


Nutrient Panel

The nutrient panel includes:

  • Vitamin A
  • Vitamin B1
  • Vitamin B12
  • Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin C
  • Vitamin D
  • Vitamin E
  • Calcium
  • Copper
  • Magnesium
  • Zinc


We can make an abundance of testing options simple and customized to you.
