Functional Medicine Lab Testing
Lab Test Instructions
As a functional practice, we offer our patients functional medicine lab testing in Cumming, GA. We often encounter patients that feel “not quite right” – where there is not a prominent symptom that can point us in the right direction. Examples of conditions with vague symptoms range from chronic bloating, unexpected headaches or migraines, chronic fatigue, and insomnia.
To identify the root cause for your loss of wellness, we utilize advanced functional medicine, traditional lab testing to gather valuable information about health at the cellular level, and explore possible lifestyle factors.
Lab tests help guide our treatment recommendations in major ways – allowing us to craft an approach that is unique to your situation, genetics, and biochemistry.
Functional Medicine Lab Testing: What We Offer
Functional medicine lab testing is a key component of the functional medicine approach, which seeks to identify and address the root causes of health issues rather than merely treating symptoms. This type of testing goes beyond standard lab tests to provide a more comprehensive understanding of an individual’s health.
Functional medicine lab testing involves a variety of specialized tests designed to evaluate the functioning of various bodily systems and detect imbalances or dysfunctions that may contribute to chronic health conditions. These tests often include advanced biomarker analyses, genetic testing, and detailed assessments of metabolic function, nutrient levels, and hormone balance.
GI-MAP Test
Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory’s FDA-approved GI-MAP Test is designed to detect intestinal microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance, potentially contributing to illness. The GI-MAP Test is an important indicator of digestion, absorption, inflammation, parasites, and immune function.
Organic Acid Test
Organic acids are metabolic intermediates produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, and intestinal microbial activity. The accumulation of specific organic acids in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. The Organic Acids Urine Test (OAT) helps reveal activity and changes at the metabolic level. This information helps our practitioners discover hidden issues and determine where therapeutic focus is needed.
