You may have been told you have “normal labs” and “nothing is wrong with you” by your healthcare provider, yet you feel fatigue, have digestive issues or a slew of other symptoms that you know are “not normal.”
“Normal range” does not always mean “optimal health.” You need a more comprehensive assessment of your health and nutrition to help you get to the root cause of your issues.
Here are tests you have access to working with me. I will get you started with one comprehensive test so I can personalize your treatment plan. I may recommend other tests depending on your circumstances. Keep in mind, the majority of these tests are not available at your average doctor’s office and are meant to assess metabolic function diagnose disease.
This level of stool testing allows us to assess your digestive capacity, the balance of your good and bad bacteria in your gut, and if there are pathogens in your gut, all which can impact your digestion, inflammation and mood. You receive one comprehensive functional stool test by joining my ALIGN program so we can identify root causes of your gut issues right away! Learn more about these tests: GutZoomer, GI Effects.

We can see if nutrients are “doing their job” in the body by measuring organic acids, which are metabolites of metabolic pathways. This includes our ability to make energy from carbs and fats, neurotransmitter metabolites that impact our mood, and so much more. The NutrEval test also checks for key minerals, heavy metals, amino acid adequacy (proteins) and fatty acids (like saturated fats and omega-3s), which gives us a more holistic view of metabolism.

I will assess whole body patterns of imbalance, identify areas that need extra support and explain to you how different areas in the body are connected to each other. This pertinent information allows me to further tailor your treatment plan.
Typically your doctor’s office only checks a couple markers in your blood, but knowing the balance of vitamins, minerals and fatty acids in your blood and cells give us a more holistic picture of your nutrition status. Learn more here: Micronutrients.
Having this unique genetic information allows us to tailor lifestyle recommendations and interpret nutrition lab work with even more nuance. Learn more about this test: 3x4 Genetics.
