We offer comprehensive lab testing so that you can create an informed strategy to move your health forward.
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.
The most common questions we receive about lab testing are "Tell me what's included". While your practitioner will tailor your testing protocol to your unique needs we have compiled a list of our most common testing options to get you started.

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