Functional Testing + Interpretation

Service Description

Functional tests like the Gut Zoomer, DUTCH, or Mycotoxin panels give us powerful insight into what’s happening inside your body. These tests allow us to move beyond symptoms and uncover the root factors influencing digestion, hormones, inflammation, energy, and overall wellness. Here’s how it works in my practice: 1. You Pay the Lab Directly When we decide that functional testing is a good fit, the test kit is ordered through the lab and shipped straight to your home. The lab charges you directly for the test, and once your sample is submitted, they send the results to both of us. 2. I Interpret Your Results & Build Your Personalized Protocol Once the report arrives, or if you already have these reports, I will review them in detail and translate the findings into clear, easy-to-understand language. I connect your results with your symptoms, intake forms, and Nutri-Body assessment so we can see the full picture, not just isolated data points. Your interpretation includes: A client-friendly breakdown of your results What the findings mean for your digestion, hormones, immunity, and metabolism A personalized, step-by-step protocol based on your unique markers A food-first strategy and supplement recommendations A review session where we walk through everything together Ongoing support This ensures you aren’t left with a complicated lab report, you receive a roadmap, clarity, and a plan you can actually implement. Why It’s Valuable Functional testing helps us identify things that don’t always show up in standard bloodwork, such as: Dysbiosis or bacterial imbalances Parasites or pathogens Yeast or fungal overgrowth Leaky gut or intestinal permeability markers Nutrient absorption issues Immune activation Hormone metabolism patterns Detoxification challenges With this information, we can move forward with precision and confidence. Testing isn’t about guessing; it’s about giving your body exactly what it needs.
