Symptoms are your body’s way of asking for help—but they rarely tell the whole story. Instead of chasing symptoms with trial-and-error solutions, functional lab testing allows us to look beneath the surface and uncover what’s truly driving dysfunction. By identifying hidden stressors affecting your digestion, hormones, detox pathways, and more, we can create a precise, personalized healing plan that supports real, lasting results. Below are some of the powerful diagnostic tools I use to help clients get clarity, take action, and reclaim their health from the inside out.
A cutting-edge stool test that uses DNA-based technology to assess the health of your gut microbiome. It identifies pathogens like parasites, bacteria, viruses, and fungi, as well as markers for inflammation, digestion, and immune function. This test provides a comprehensive view of your gut health, helping to uncover root causes of symptoms such as bloating, fatigue, skin issues, and hormone imbalances. It’s a powerful tool for creating personalized, targeted healing protocols.
The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) is a gold-standard test for assessing hormone health. It provides a detailed analysis of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), stress hormones (cortisol and DHEA), and their metabolites. This test offers insight into hormonal imbalances that may be driving symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, PMS, or sleep disturbances. The DUTCH test goes beyond standard blood work to reveal how your body is producing, using, and clearing hormones—so we can design more effective, personalized support.
A comprehensive urine test that evaluates over 70 markers related to gut health, detoxification, energy production, nutrient status, and brain chemistry. It offers a detailed snapshot of how well your body’s metabolic processes are functioning. The OAT is especially useful for identifying hidden issues like candida overgrowth, nutrient deficiencies, oxidative stress, and neurotransmitter imbalances. This powerful test helps uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, and digestive problems—guiding more targeted and effective healing strategies.
The MRT (Mediator Release Test) is a blood test that identifies hidden food and chemical sensitivities that may be contributing to inflammation and chronic symptoms. Unlike traditional allergy testing, MRT measures your immune system’s inflammatory response to 170+ foods and additives—helping pinpoint what’s triggering issues like bloating, headaches, skin flare-ups, joint pain, or fatigue. This test takes the guesswork out of elimination diets and provides a personalized roadmap for calming inflammation and restoring balance through targeted dietary changes.
The Mycotoxin test detects the presence of toxic compounds produced by mold, which can accumulate in the body and disrupt immune, neurological, and hormonal function. This urine-based test screens for multiple mycotoxins from common mold species found in water-damaged buildings, contaminated foods, and the environment. Mold toxicity is often a hidden driver behind symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, sinus issues, headaches, and chronic inflammation. This test helps uncover mold exposure and guides personalized detox strategies for deeper healing.
The Total Tox Burden test is a comprehensive urine-based screening that measures your body’s exposure to three major toxin categories: heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and mold toxins (mycotoxins). Chronic toxin exposure can contribute to fatigue, hormone imbalances, immune dysfunction, neurological symptoms, and more. This test helps identify hidden toxic burdens that may be interfering with your health and healing—providing essential insight for designing a personalized detoxification and recovery plan.
The Vibrant Wellness Zoomer series offers highly sensitive blood tests that screen for immune reactions to specific foods, toxins, pathogens, and environmental triggers. These microarray panels help detect both early-stage and advanced sensitivities, intolerances, and autoimmunity markers. Whether you're dealing with unexplained symptoms, chronic inflammation, or gut issues, Zoomer panels—such as Wheat Zoomer, Gut Zoomer, Dairy Zoomer, and more—provide a deep, personalized look at how your body is reacting to everyday exposures. These insights help guide targeted healing through diet, lifestyle, and therapeutic support.
HTMA is a non-invasive test that measures the levels of key minerals and toxic metals stored in the hair. Because mineral imbalances and heavy metal toxicity can deeply impact energy, hormone health, nervous system function, and detoxification, HTMA offers valuable insight into your body’s long-term biochemical patterns. This test helps uncover hidden stress, metabolic dysfunction, and nutrient deficiencies—guiding personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support whole-body balance.
During our final session, we will re-assess symptoms and evaluate room for further improvement. Emphasis will be placed on continuing your new healthy habits far beyond our time together. Remember, the road to health is a lifelong journey and doesn’t end with our coaching relationship!

Functional medicine practitioners recognize that test results within "standard lab ranges" may deliver insufficient information to understanding a patient's condition. Many patients are told that their labs are "within normal range" yet they still experience symptoms.
Functional Medicine Practitioners order more in-depth functional labs to get a better look and evaluate results in a narrower range, known as the optimal range, to catch certain markers early on. This way of practicing allows practitioners to reverse or stop disease progression altogether.
