Functional Lab Testing 

Functional labs can provide powerful insights into the root cause of gut issues, hormone concerns, autoimmune conditions, fatigue, headaches, and other frustrating symptoms.

View Our Testing Options

You may be a good candidate for functional labs if... 

  • You have the foundations down (well-balanced diet, movement, stress management, quality sleep) and still feel stuck
  • You feel like you’ve tried everything & nothing’s working
  • Your conventional labs all come back “normal”, but you do not feel “normal”
  • You are data driven and want a clear picture of how your body is functioning

Your Next Steps...

With the exception of the MRT package, patients must complete an Initial Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment before their dietitian or nutritionist is able to order a test or review results. 

If you are interested in any of the testing options above, your first step is to complete our Application for 1:1 Counseling. After your intitial assessment appointment, the testing kit will either be mailed directly to your house, or you can choose to pick it up from our Wilmington office, along with instructions on how to complete the test.

Then, once the test results are in, you will book a lab review appointment with your provider to review your results and receive your treatment protocol.

Visit our Insurance & Fees page to learn more about lab testing fees. Lab review appointments are not included in the cost of the lab test.
