LAB TESTING

Test, don’t guess. Functional and conventional lab testing help me gain a more accurate and comprehensive picture of your health whether you’re suffering from a chronic illness or you’re getting lab work done to see how well your body is functioning. The results provide answers, real validation and give insight when developing or modifying your individualized health program. The lab work I recommend will depend on your health history, the past and current state of your health and wellness, and other factors I’ll learn during our initial virtual appointment.

Have you had lots of labs done in the past but still don’t have answers or a solution to your health issue? 

This is not uncommon. Many labs are very incomplete or not comprehensive enough to truly get an understanding of the physiology trying to be assessed. Also, lab ranges may be too wide and these ranges are an average of all sick people who gets labs drawn at that lab. It is very important to look at functional or optimal reference ranges which has a narrower range and is the average of the healthy population.
