The Benefits of Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing can provide a deeper understanding as to why dysfunction in the body is occurring. It is extremely effective in coming up with targeted strategies to restore balance and improve symptoms.
The results can provide valuable insights into the underlying causes of a variety of chronic health concerns such as digestive and hormonal imbalances, metabolic dysfunction, thyroid conditions, mood disorders and more.
Furthermore, functional testing can assess a wide range of factors such as digestive enzyme function, gut microbiome composition, inflammation levels, food sensitivities, nutrient deficiencies and more.
Additionally, the lab results can also create a foundation of knowledge on which you can build as you work towards sustainable, long-term health.
The test kit will come directly to you and you will be able to complete it in your home and send the completed test back to the lab for analysis. We will then review the results together.
