Our MCN testing is the quantitative detection of intracellular and extracellular micronutrients that provide a short-term and long-term understanding of your vitamin, mineral, and nutrient status. We test over 30 vitamins, minerals, and nutrients including an iron panel and omega fatty acids. This test will provide you with an accurate report of your vitamin, mineral, and nutrient deficiencies within your cells which you can balance once you know what your deficiencies are.

Food sensitivities are your body’s response to certain foods that can occur hours to days after they are consumed. Your immune system reacts to food sensitivity with IgG and IgA immunoglobulins. We test the IgG and IgA in over 180 foods to provide you with a deeper understanding of what foods your body may be sensitive to. We also relate this to a possible leaky gut issue which can be the root cause of food sensitivities.

Food allergies are your body’s response to certain foods that can occur after they are consumed. Your immune system reacts to food sensitivity with IgE immunoglobulins. We test the IgE in over 96 foods to provide you with a deeper understanding of what foods your body may be allergic to. We also relate this to a possible leaky gut issue which can be the root cause of food sensitivities. We also test for inhalant allergens in animal dander, mold, grasses, insects, mites, trees and shrubs, and weeds. 

Our Gut Microbiome testing is a health analytic testing based on the bacteria or microbiome of your body. We test over 100 healthy bacteria in your gut or should be in your gut through stool testing. This test will provide you with a thorough understanding of which good bacteria you have and which you are lacking, giving you a better understanding as to what probiotic is right for your gut. It also provides me with a deeper understanding of possible health issues that are related to deficiencies of particular bacteria. This test also has a separate pathogen test that includes testing for bad bacteria, parasites, and fungi such as yeast which provides an answer if you have a Candida issue.

Our full thyroid panel testing does not leave out any portion of thyroid testing as many medical labs do. This provides a thorough understanding of your thyroid function. This test includes T3, Free T3, TSH, RT3, T4, Free T4, Anti-TPO, and Anti-TG as opposed to many medical labs that only include a T3 and maybe a TSH and/or T4. This test is so successful in our office in detecting underlying thyroid issues that are being missed in the medical area, because it is a FULL thyroid panel test, not leaving out any aspect needed. We also offer male and female hormone testing that includes a daily measure of cortisol.

 MTHFR mutation is a genetic mutation that is inherited by your parents. There are a few variations of this mutation that carry their own risks. Having an MTHFR mutation reduces the body’s ability to convert synthetic folic acid to active folate. As a result of this reduced ability, the metabolism, and status of many nutrients, such as B12, B6, glutathione, and homocysteine, can suffer gravely, leaving severe deficiencies. Certain health issues are linked with MTHFR, as well. Knowing if you have an MTHFR mutation and if so, taking the proper nutritional measures can drastically improve health-related issues.

Neurotransmitters are the chemical messengers that facilitate the transmission of signals from one neuron to the next across a synapse. Neurotransmitters influence and regulate a wide range of processes such as mental performance, emotions, pain response, and energy levels. This test is a comprehensive panel of 28 neurotransmitters that determine when symptoms are directly or indirectly related to neurotransmitter levels, and when additional testing may be appropriate.

Our heavy metal testing is a urine-based assay testing the 20 most common heavy metal elements, with an option for provoked and non-provoked ordering, such as but not limited to, aluminum, arsenic, barium, cadmium, lead, mercury, nickel, tellurium, thallium, tin, and uranium.

The Mycotoxins panel measures levels of toxins produced by common molds that people are exposed to. Mycotoxin exposure can come from both dietary and environmental sources. Dietary sources include spoiled or rotten foods, grains, dried fruits, nuts, coffee, and spices. Environmental sources include living or working in water-damaged buildings, airborne or physical contact with outdoor molds, and airborne dust in buildings containing mold spores. If you were diagnosed with or suspect toxic burden, impaired immunity, autoimmune disease, or mold exposure, this panel may benefit you.

The Organic Acids Test detects the organic acids in urine that are byproducts of daily cellular metabolism. The panel can accurately identify conditions associated with genetic disorders, nutrient deficiencies, intestinal dysbiosis, and toxicity from diet and prescription drugs. The Organic Acids panel is designed to take a broad look at multiple systems and get a snapshot of how the body is functioning.
