Many people are told their labs are "normal" while symptoms persist.
That's often because standard testing looks for disease, not why the body is struggling.
Here are four tests that can offer deeper insight:
1. GI Map testing: In depth look at gut Microbiome, commensial "good" bacteria, overgrowth "bad bacteria," parasites, worms, inflamation, digestive capacity, and immune activation. This is the number one test I reccomend and like to start with. All health starts in the gut, our hormones, our immune system, everything comes from here.
2. Food sensitivity testing: Helps identify immune-mediated food triggers that may contribute to bloating, inflammation, brain fog, skin issues, or lingering digestive symptoms.
3.DUTCH (dried urine testing comprehensive hormones): looks at hormones, adrenals and their metabolites over 5 samples throughout your day. Urine samples completed at home. Trends waking, 2 hours after waking, dinner time and night time cortisol levels. Find out where energy is dipping and why, find out where your hormone issue is coming from. Blood draw (serum) panels look at hormones here & now-one shot in time-that is why often times your hormones "look good" but you don't "feel good." This test is VERY comprehensive; makes treatment concise. DUTCH complete also includes a one page OATs (organic acid test) looking at biotin, glutathione, neuroinflamation, homovanilic acid (serotonin and norephinephrine) -these are neurotransmitters when imbalanced can cause symptoms such as anxiety and depression.
4. Mycotoxin testing: Assesses exposure to mold-related toxins,
which may contribute to fatigue, inflammation, bloating, sinus issues, or unexplained symptoms in some individuals.
These test help find clarity when symptoms don't make sense yet.
