Functional blood lab analysis goes deeper into the root cause of the disease by analyzing hormones, lipids, enzymatic reactions, methylation process (MTFTH), and mineral deficiencies. We do not perform any blood draws, urine, stool, or swabs in the office. They are sent to an outside facility, and test kits are shipped to the client’s house with instructions.
Blood Lab Analysis verifies:
- Hormones (Thyroid, cortisol, testosterone, DHEA, estrogen, etc.)
- Lipids (HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, Apo A/B, Phospholipase)
- CBC, CMP
- Vitamins (D, B’s, A, E, K, C)
