💥 Why We NEED Functional Medicine 💥

Managing symptoms isn’t the same as getting healthy.
Most of today’s healthcare focuses on diagnosing and medicating — not asking why your body is struggling in the first place.

Functional medicine flips the script. 🔄
Instead of asking, “What pill can fix this?” it asks:
👉 “What’s driving this problem?”
👉 “What’s the root cause?”

🧠 Your body doesn’t make random mistakes.
Fatigue, acne, anxiety, gut issues, weight gain — these are signals, not just diagnoses.

Functional medicine digs deeper to uncover the why behind the what:
⚡️ Hormone imbalances
🔥 Chronic inflammation
🦠 Gut dysfunction
💤 Nutrient deficiencies
😩 Stress + lifestyle triggers

✅ And here’s the best part: at Labs By Request, you can get the tests you need to uncover these root causes without the added cost of a provider visit.

Healthcare shouldn’t stop at symptom management — it should start with root-cause healing.

🌿 Ever tried to grow a garden?

You can’t just throw seeds on top of weeds and expect flowers to bloom.
First, you’ve got to clear the soil — pull the weeds, clean out the junk, and make space for life to thrive.

Your gut works exactly the same way.

You can eat all the right foods, take probiotics, and try every supplement out there…
but if your gut is full of “weeds” — bad bacteria, yeast, parasites, or inflammation — nothing good can take root.

That’s why gut testing matters.

🧪 Our Gut Health Test shows you what’s really growing beneath the surface:
• Which “weeds” are taking over
• What’s missing that your gut actually needs
• How to restore balance so the good bacteria can thrive again

You can’t fix what you don’t see.
Test your gut → clear the soil → and watch your health bloom. 🌸

🔥 Meet Your Mitochondria — Your Body’s Power Plants 🔥
These tiny organelles fuel every heartbeat, brainwave, and muscle movement. When your mitochondria are healthy, you feel energized, focused, and strong.
When they’re not… you feel fatigue, brain fog, and burnout.

🧬 Why it matters:
Mitochondria convert nutrients into ATP — your body’s energy currency.
Toxins, inflammation, and stress can all damage this process.

💡 Optimize Your Energy
✨ Eat clean, colorful foods
🏃 Move often
😴 Sleep deeply
🧘 Manage stress
🧪 Test, don’t guess — learn how your cells are performing

🎵 Songs of an Unhealthy Gut 🎵
Your gut has a soundtrack… and not all of it is good. If your digestion is off, bloated, or you’re feeling low on energy, your gut might be sending you signals.

Here’s what it might be “singing”:
• Bloated Blues – after every meal, you feel swollen and uncomfortable.
• Gas Jam – too much fermentation causing pressure and noises.
• Acid Reflux Rock – that burning sensation that keeps you up at night.
• Constipation Crunch – slow-moving, heavy, and uncomfortable rhythms.
• Brain Fog Ballad – when your gut and brain are out of sync.

💡 Why Gut Testing Matters:
Sometimes these “songs” are clues to deeper issues like imbalances in gut bacteria, inflammation, or parasites. Testing helps pinpoint the root cause so you can heal properly — instead of just covering up the symptoms.

🚨 Real talk:
If your doctor never asks about your food, sleep, stress, or environment…
you don’t have a healer — you have a dealer. 💊

Because true healing isn’t about refilling prescriptions — it’s about finding root causes.

🌿 What you eat.
🛌 How you rest.
😤 How you handle stress.
🌎 What you’re exposed to every day.

That’s where your health story begins — and where real transformation happens.

At Labs By Request, we believe in data-driven healing — not symptom management.
Our advanced functional lab tests uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface, so you can take control of your health for good.

✨ Because health isn’t a transaction — it’s restoration.

💊 Before You Start Cholesterol Medication — Get the Full Picture 💊

Did you know a basic cholesterol test can be misleading? Many people are prescribed medication based only on total or LDL cholesterol, without knowing what’s really happening inside their arteries.

The Lipoprotein Particle Profile (LPP®) goes beyond the surface by measuring:
🔹 The number of LDL particles (not just how much cholesterol they carry)
🔹 The size and density of those particles — small, dense ones are most dangerous
🔹 Additional markers like ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), and hs-CRP for inflammation

🩺 This deeper view helps identify who truly needs medication — and who may not.

At Labs By Request, you can order the LPP® test directly (no doctor referral needed) and get the insight your standard lipid panel can’t provide.

Take control of your heart health before committing to lifelong meds. ❤️

🩸 Everyone’s talking about the new “cancer blood test” — but here’s the truth:
It’s actually NOT new. The Galleri test has been available since 2019, and it’s already being used by thousands of people around the world who want to get ahead of potential cancer risks.

The UK’s NHS is just now running large-scale studies to see how it performs in public health programs — but this technology has been around for several years.

✅ The Galleri test can screen for 50+ types of cancer with a single blood draw by detecting tiny fragments of tumor DNA in your bloodstream.
✅ It’s designed to find cancer early, often before symptoms appear.
✅ We have kits available in-office — simply walk in for your test!

Early detection saves lives — so don’t wait for the headlines to catch up.

Labs By Request – Where Prevention Meets Possibility.

Galleri has been dubbed the holy grail of cancer tests

🌀 The Mandela Effect & Modern Healthcare

Ever swear something was true… only to find out it never was?
That’s the Mandela Effect — when large groups of people confidently remember the same wrong detail.

Check these out 👇
• 🍇 Fruit of the Loom — Did it have a cornucopia behind the fruit? ❌ Nope! Never did.
• 🎬 Star Wars — “Luke, I am your father”? ❌ Wrong again. Vader actually said, “No, I am your father.”
• 🐏 Silence of the Lambs — “Hello, Clarice.” ❌ Never spoken.
• 🕰️ Monopoly Man — Top hat? Yes. Monocle? ❌ Never had one.
• 📺 Looney Tunes — Not Toons. It’s Tunes — as in music.

Our brains love shortcuts — we fill in gaps and trust our memory, even when it’s wrong.

And here’s the connection:
We do the exact same thing with our health.

We think our blood sugar is fine, our hormones are “normal,” our gut is “ok.”
But without real testing — functional labs, micronutrient panels, hormone maps — we’re trusting a memory that might be misleading us.

🧬 Reality doesn’t lie — data does the talking.
Don’t let a “health Mandela Effect” keep you feeling tired, foggy, or inflamed when the truth is just a test away.

🔍 See what’s really going on inside.

💰 Over $50 BILLION has been spent on cancer research in just the past few years… yet cancer rates continue to rise.

It’s not just genetics — it’s our environment and lifestyle.

🧃 Ultra-processed foods
☠️ Daily toxin exposure (plastics, pesticides, chemicals)
🔥 Chronic inflammation from stress, poor gut health, and nutrient deficiencies

These hidden stressors quietly set the stage for disease long before a diagnosis ever appears.

While research focuses on treatments, few resources go toward what truly prevents cancer — clean nutrition, toxin reduction, and balancing inflammation at the root.

🧬 That’s where functional testing makes the difference.
At Labs By Request, we help uncover inflammation, oxidative stress, and hormonal imbalances early — before they evolve into disease.

Because prevention starts with understanding what’s happening inside your body. 💪

Why Gut Testing Matters 🧫✨
Your gut does so much more than digest food. It impacts your mood, hormones, energy, and immune system.

When something’s off, symptoms can show up anywhere — bloating, fatigue, acne, anxiety, brain fog, or food cravings.
That’s why testing is key.

✅ Identifies bacterial imbalances
✅ Detects yeast or parasite overgrowth
✅ Reveals inflammation and leaky gut markers
✅ Shows how well you’re absorbing nutrients
✅ Helps create a personalized plan for healing

Testing takes out the guesswork — so you can finally understand why you feel the way you do.
A healthy gut means a healthy you. 🌿
