Optimize Your Health With Functional Lab Testing
Functional lab testing covers a variety of diagnostics used to investigate a person’s health status. When compared with the results typically provided by standard annual blood work, the strategy of testing different samples (including blood, stool, urine, saliva and hair) allows us to better understand the causes of health conditions. Data from such testing provides a holistic picture of health that covers everything from nutritional status and hormonal balance to gut health and metabolic function.
Our Functional Laboratory Testing Options
At WellFit Studio, we use functional lab testing to address a range of conditions. Here are some of the ways functional lab testing benefits our Boston patients.
- Comprehensive Blood Work – Detailed blood analysis that identifies markers for inflammation, nutritional deficiencies and more.
- Food Allergy Testing – Tests identify potential food sensitivities and allergies that could be impacting your health.
- Hormone Optimization Assessments – Evaluates levels of hormones crucial for balancing mood, energy, metabolism and overall health.
- Gut Health Analysis – Tests are performed to assess the microbiome, gut permeability and digestive function.
- Epigenetic Testing – Advanced testing to understand how lifestyle and environmental factors influence gene expression and impact health.
Used in combination with personalized health coaching and comprehensive functional nutrition planning, lab testing is essential for understanding the root cause of suboptimal health. The insights provided enable us to find long-lasting solutions for nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, metabolic issues, gut microbiome imbalances, digestive disorders and other factors that affect a person’s quality of life.
