About Functional Lab Testing 

What is Functional Lab Testing?

Functional lab testing is a different approach to care than conventional lab testing you may experience when you go to annual check ups or when concerned about a problem. Functional labs are unique because they evaluates how well or (not well) your body is functioning using a spectrum of health rather than to diagnosis a disease. This is why many individuals still feel unwell but ”labs are normal” when seeking care conventionally, sound familiar? Functional Lab testing gives us a much deeper and well rounded picture to your individual functional health. Ultimately allowing us to address causes not just symptoms.

Though testing will give us valuable direction and a systematic approach it is not required. Most insurances will not cover functional lab testing because it is so beyond ”standard of care” and they refuse. Labs can range from $100-$2,000, depending on needs.

Below is a sample of different types of test available:
