Functional Lab Tests
Functional lab tests help find the root cause of a symptom. Since many symptoms overlap, it's best to get to the bottom of why the symptom is taking place and discover imbalances in the body. Test, don't guess!
GI-MAP
The GI-MAP is a clinical stool test that measures the DNA of the gut microbiota. This test helps to detect microbes, fungi, H.pylori, parasites, pathogenic and beneficial bacteria, fat digestion, inflammation, absorption, and immune function. This test is perfect for people dealing with gut issues such as IBS, bloating, acid reflux/gastritis, skin issues, and autoimmune conditions.
MRT Food Sensitivity
The MRT food sensitivity test measures the white blood cell's reaction to 176 different foods and chemicals. Most food sensitivity tests measures IgG and IgA markers; however, it is not accurate if the client is not consuming the food being tested. With the MRT test—unlike common food sensitivity tests—the client does not need to consume all of the foods in order to determine the sensitivities. This test is perfect for people dealing with gut issues, migraines, hormonal imbalances, PCOS, skin issues, and autoimmune diseases.
DUTCH Hormone Panel
The DUTCH hormone panel uses dried urine to assess the levels of estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, organic acids, and melatonin. In addition, saliva samples are collected to assess cortisol levels. The DUTCH test is ideal for women dealing with infertility, insomnia, fatigue, low libido, weight gain, hormonal fluctuations, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause.
DiagnosTechs Hormone Panel
The DiagnosTechs Hormone panel uses saliva to help evaluate various hormones that play a role in female reproductive function. Since these hormones fluctuate throughout the menstrual cycle, testing on only one day of the month may not give a complete portrayal of the dynamic balance of your hormones. This panel looks at estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA, FSH, LH, and cortisol levels. Samples are taken throughout the entire monthly cycle in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of what may be contributing to your symptoms. This test is ideal ideal for women dealing with infertility, insomnia, fatigue, low libido, weight gain, hormonal fluctuations, PCOS, perimenopause, and menopause.
Micronutrients Panel
The micronutrient panel provides a comprehensive assessment of an individual's vitamins, minerals, co-factors, metabolites, antioxidants, and essential amino acids. This test also helps find any nutrient deficiencies and toxicities. The micronutrient panel is perfect for people with autoimmune conditions, skin issues, gastrointestinal issues, and diabetes. This test can be added to any program.
Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA)
The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a great tool to analyze recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic metals. Toxic elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony, and mercury can be found in the hair tissue. Along with toxic metals, hair also has essential nutrients such as magnesium, chromium, zinc, copper, and selenium. The levels of the toxic metals and nutrients correlate with the levels in other tissues and organs.
Heavy Metals
The Heavy Metals panel tests for 20 common metals that can be found in the body. Exposure to harmful heavy metals such as lead, mercury, and arsenic can be found in the air, groundwater sources, and soil. Heavy metals may be the root cause of common neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatological symptoms, liver and renal issues, reproductive issues, autoimmune diseases, and disorders associated with increased oxidative stress, and cellular dysfunction.
Environmental Toxins
The Environmental Toxins panel measures levels of 38 different environmental toxins along with exposure to common pesticides, herbicides, plasticizers, and preservatives. Environmental toxins or toxicants are substances that are man-made or that occur naturally in the environment and can cause acute or chronic toxic overload when absorbed, inhaled, or ingested. Environmental toxins can be the root cause of neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, dermatological symptoms, liver and renal issues, reproductive issues, autoimmune diseases, and disorders associated with increased oxidative stress, and cellular dysfunction.​
Mycotoxins
The Mycotoxins panel looks at the levels of mycotoxins produced by common molds that people are exposed to. Exposure to mycotoxins can come from both environmental and dietary 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, having difficulty losing weight, or exposure to mold, this panel may benefit you.
Oxidative Stress
The Oxidative Stress panel measures 16 markers of cumulative oxidative damage eliminated from the body in the urine, plus 32 genetic variants that code for enzymes and antioxidants that can significantly impact oxidative stress response. Oxidative stress occurs when the body is unable to keep up with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) due to poorly functioning endogenous antioxidants, inadequate intake of exogenous antioxidants, and/or diet and lifestyle that generates excess ROS. Oxidative stress has been linked to various health conditions and chronic diseases. Moreover, oxidative stress can create a detrimental cycle where one condition exacerbates another, leading to further health complications​​​
PFAS Test
The PFAS test ​​​measures the levels of 21 different PFAS chemicals present in the urine. The term PFAS refers to thousand of per-and polyfluoroalkyl chemicals which are industrially produced for surface tension lowering or “non-stick” properties. PFAS can be found in non-stick cookware, paints, anti-stain coatings on furniture, seafood and animal products, water-repellant clothing, dental floss, ski waxes, contaminated water, fast food packaging, carpets, floor polishes, herbicides, outdoor gear, and firefighting agents. PFAS exposure can harm multiple systems including neurological, endocrine, respiratory, immune, urinary, gastrointestinal, reproductive, and cardiovascular systems. PFAS affects the body's ability to detoxify and this can have adverse physiological effects.
3 x 4 Genetics
The 3 x 4 Genetics test determines the impact of individual gene variants on multiple pathways. The risk scores for each pathway determine the impact of the genes on 36 metabolic areas. Genetic risk scores determine the impact threshold for each pathway. This test is a great way to determine why dietary changes aren't working in your favor. Genomic testing can help find hidden blocking factors and may provide insights into strategies that haven't been considered. This test can also help a client truly optimize.​​
Bristle Oral Health Test
The Bristle Oral Health test provides a complete profile of the bacteria and fungi in the mouth. While some species are beneficial for our oral health, other bacteria and fungi are harmful and can cause conditions like halitosis, tooth decay, gum inflammation, and more. By analyzing the identity and relative abundance of microbes in your saliva, Bristle detects the root cause of oral symptoms and connections to other chronic conditions. Bristle also provides scientifically-backed product, diet, and lifestyle recommendations based on your unique oral microbiome.​
