Functional laboratory testing

Bring precision, clarity, and clinical depth to your healing work, with advanced functional lab testing from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory, available through my practice. These tests help identify root causes, guide personalized protocols, and track progress over time, from gut microbiome imbalances to metabolic signatures, food immune responses, cytokine patterns, and genomic insight.

What I offer, and why it matters

GI-MAP stool analysis, the GI Microbial Assay Plus, a qPCR based, truly quantitative stool test that detects bacteria, parasites, fungi, viruses, H. pylori and key markers of digestion, inflammation, and immune activity. GI-MAP is especially helpful for chronic bloating, irregular bowels, skin issues, brain fog, and suspected gut infections, because it provides practitioners with precise, actionable microbial quantification.

StoolOMX and related stool add ons, including bile acid and short chain fatty acid testing, which extend GI-MAP findings and illuminate bile acid dysregulation, fermentation patterns, and deeper microbiome function relevant to IBS, IBD, and metabolic symptoms.

Organic Metabolomics, organic acids, amino acids, and metabolite profiles, offering a metabolic fingerprint across urine and plasma, revealing mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter metabolites, detoxification capacity, and nutritional imbalances that inform targeted nutritional and herbal support.

H. pylori DNA profile and pathogen panels, stool based testing for H. pylori including virulence factors and antibiotic resistance genes where available, plus focused pathogen panels when a specific infectious etiology is suspected. These tests allow targeted eradication strategies when appropriate.

Food immune testing, including IgG Food Explorer and IgE Allergy Explorer, to map immune mediated food reactions and inform elimination and reintroduction plans that reduce inflammation and support healing. Cytokine profiling through CytoDx to assess pro and anti inflammatory balance, useful for complex immune, autoimmune, and chronic inflammatory presentations. GenomicInsight options provide genomic context where clinically helpful. (Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory)

How testing works with me

I will select the tests most relevant to your history, symptoms, and clinical needs. Kits can be ordered and drop shipped directly to patients for qualified tests, making sample collection convenient at home, then returned to Diagnostic Solutions for processing. I will review results with you, translate them into a clear, prioritized treatment plan, and offer follow up testing when indicated to track response.

Resources, education, and support

Diagnostic Solutions maintains an interpretive guide and a resource library to support clinicians and patients, and offers practitioner education through DSL Academy. I draw on those resources plus my clinical experience to interpret complex panels and create integrative protocols that include diet, botanicals, supplements, acupuncture, and lifestyle prescriptions.

What to expect next

If you are interested, I will recommend one or more targeted tests, arrange kit ordering, review collection instructions, and schedule a results review appointment. I will translate findings into a personalized plan you can follow step by step, with options for lab-supported follow up testing.

Practical details and costs

Diagnostic Solutions test availability, panels, and pricing can change. I will provide up to date options and costs before ordering, and explain insurance, self pay, and practitioner billing options when relevant. For patients, many kits include clear collection instructions and free drop shipment for qualified tests.

Ready to begin

Contact me to discuss your symptoms and goals, I will recommend the most appropriate Diagnostic Solutions tests for your case, you may pick up the kits from my office or I can arrange kit shipment when needed, and guide you through a clear, compassionate plan to restore balance and resilience.
