Functional lab tests are used to identify underlying root cause imbalances in the body. Rather than just checking for disease or diagnosing a specific condition, functional labs are designed to identify imbalances, deficiencies, dysfunctions, and hidden stressors that may be contributing to your symptoms—even if your conventional labs appear “normal.”

My approach blends the best of modern science with the wisdom of traditional healing systems to offer truly personalized, root-cause health care. As an Integrative Heath Practitioner, I draw from a diverse range of disciplines including Functional Medicine, Naturopathy, Ayurveda, Bioregulatory Medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Orthomolecular Medicine, and Eastern philosophies. I don’t rely on a single lens to assess your health—I integrate many. With a foundational background in biology and nutrition, I ensure that every recommendation is not only deeply individualized but also grounded in evidence-based science and proven clinical outcomes. This unique, multi-disciplinary perspective allows me to identify patterns and connections others might miss, helping you achieve meaningful, lasting transformation—not just symptom relief.

Every person's healing journey is unique, so the timeline for results can vary. While many clients begin to notice meaningful improvements—such as better energy, digestion, mood, or symptom relief—within the first 12 weeks, deeper, more lasting transformation typically takes 4 to 6 months or longer.

Your progress depends on several factors, including the complexity of your symptoms, how long you've been experiencing them, your health history, and your current lifestyle and habits. It’s important to remember that true healing is not a quick fix—it’s a gradual, layered process that requires time, consistency, and compassion for yourself along the way.

My goal is to guide and support you through both short-term wins and long-term changes, empowering you to build a foundation for lifelong health—not just temporary relief.

I'm trained to interpret a wide range of advanced functional lab tests, and I tailor each testing recommendation to your unique symptoms, health history, and goals. That said, there are a few core tests I use most often because they consistently provide deep insight into what’s going on beneath the surface.

The tests I recommend most frequently include:

• GI-MAP (stool test): Offers a detailed look at your gut microbiome, digestion, pathogens, and inflammation.

• DUTCH Test (urine hormone test): Provides a comprehensive view of your hormone levels and how your body is metabolizing them.

• HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis): Assesses mineral levels and heavy metal exposure to reveal underlying imbalances and stress patterns.

• OAT (Organic Acids Test): Gives insight into mitochondrial function, detox pathways, nutrient deficiencies, and gut health.

• Comprehensive Bloodwork & Thyroid Panel: Helps assess metabolic health, immune function, inflammation, thyroid function, and more.

These tests are incredibly valuable tools for uncovering the root causes of your symptoms and guiding a truly personalized healing plan.

If you're curious about other tests—like food sensitivity panels, mold and mycotoxin testing, or adrenal panels—we can absolutely discuss your interests and decide what’s most appropriate for your individual needs and goals.

While tests like the CBC (Complete Blood Count), CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel), and standard thyroid panels are often available through your primary care doctor, they are typically reviewed using conventional reference ranges—which are based on the average population. And unfortunately, the “average” person today is not necessarily healthy.

In my practice, I interpret these labs through a functional lens, using optimal ranges that reflect what health should look like—not just what’s common. This allows me to identify early red flags and subtle imbalances that may be missed in a conventional setting, even before symptoms fully develop.

I also ensure we get a comprehensive view of your thyroid function—not just TSH, but also Free T4, Free T3, and TPO antibodies. These additional markers are often difficult to access through standard care but are crucial for understanding how well your thyroid is functioning. Since your thyroid affects everything from energy, mood, and metabolism to digestion and hormone balance, having the full picture is essential.

These foundational labs provide powerful insight and often serve as the starting point for deeper functional testing, helping us piece together what’s really going on in your body—and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.

Clients typically receive their at-home lab kits in the mail after 5-7 business days and I receive their results about 3-4 weeks after the lab received their samples.

For labs that are not included in your package, you can expect to pay an additional $250-$500 per lab, depending on which lab is chosen.

All of my clients are welcome to continue working with me if they seek additional support after their package ends. I apply a pay-by-consult rate of $200 per 1:1 coaching session for my continuing clients. You may also choose to run additional labs if we continue working together, which would be an added cost.
