What Are Functional Labs?

Here at Peak Nutritional Therapy, we offer a variety of labs and tests designed to identify the root causes of health issues, allowing us to combat the problems at the source.

Functional Blood Work: In-depth lab work with custom panels based on your health concerns and goals.  As a functional blood chemistry specialist, I am looking at the whole picture and how the markers tie  together. While most practitioners are using standard lab ranges, we use much smaller functional ranges.  I will do a deep dive into your lab work to make sure you are at the optimal levels not just within  “normal” range. 

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis: It can be more useful to look at tissue analysis instead of blood work for  mineral imbalances. This test can give us great insight to what is causing mineral deficiency-based symptoms. This test is crucial for skin, joint, and muscle issues. While we can test most minerals through  blood work, this test lets us know how well our bodies are using them.  

Organic Acids Test: This is an at home urine-based test looking for organic acids. These acids are natural  metabolic by products produced by our cells along with microorganisms in our digestive system. This test  is crucial for any chronic digestive issues. It lets us know what kind of microbial overgrowth we are  dealing with so that we know what type of antimicrobials to use. This test also gives us nutritional markers like glutathione, b vitamins, neurotransmitters, and methylation issues.
