Functional Medicine
In Azita’s functional medicine practice, she offers a wide range of lab tests through Vibrant Wellness and Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory to help patients understand the deeper layers of their health. These tests move beyond symptoms and reveal what is happening in the gut, hormones, immune system, inflammatory pathways, toxin exposure, nutrient reserves, and more. With clarity comes a more direct path to healing.
During each appointment, Azita and the patient decide which tests are most appropriate for the individual’s concerns. Once results arrive, she reviews them in a grounded, simple, and empowering way. Patients learn what the numbers mean, what their body is communicating, and which systems need nourishment or support.
From this understanding, Azita creates a personalized plan that may include food guidance, herbal support, lifestyle refinement, acupuncture, and a step by step functional medicine protocol designed to bring the body back into balance.
Lab tests vary in price depending on the type of panel, and fees are paid directly to the lab. Supplements are not included. Azita’s role is to guide with clarity and care so patients feel supported throughout the entire process.
This approach is ideal for anyone ready to go deeper, find the root of imbalance, and heal with precision, insight, and compassion.
Tests offered:
Total Tox Burden
A broad urine-based test measuring combined exposure to mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals. This panel helps assess overall toxic load.
Micronutrient Panel
Measures vitamin and nutrient status, likely including intracellular nutrients, to detect deficiencies that may not appear in standard blood work.
GI MAP stool analysis
The GI Microbial Assay Plus is a qPCR based, 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 offers precise, actionable microbial data.
StoolOMX and related stool add ons
Includes bile acid and short chain fatty acid testing to 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. These markers reveal mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter metabolites, detoxification capacity, and nutritional imbalances that inform targeted nutritional and herbal support.
Food immune testing
Including IgG Food Explorer and IgE Allergy Explorer, used to map immune mediated food reactions and guide elimination and reintroduction plans that reduce inflammation and support healing.
Cytokine profiling
CytoDx panels assess pro and anti inflammatory balance, useful in complex immune, autoimmune, and chronic inflammatory cases.
How testing works
Azita selects tests that are most relevant to the patient’s history, symptoms, and clinical needs. Kits can be ordered and drop shipped directly to patients for qualified tests, allowing for home collection and return shipping to the lab. Azita reviews results, translates them into a clear and prioritized treatment plan, and recommends follow up testing when needed to track progress.
Resources, education, and practitioner support
Both Vibrant Wellness and Diagnostic Solutions offer interpretive guides, resource libraries, and practitioner education. Azita draws on these tools, along with clinical experience, to interpret complex panels and create integrative protocols including diet, botanicals, supplements, acupuncture, and lifestyle care.
What to expect next
For those interested in testing, Azita will recommend one or more targeted tests, arrange kit ordering, review collection instructions, and schedule a results review appointment. Findings are translated into a personalized plan that patients can follow step by step, with options for follow up testing.
Practical details and costs
Test availability, panels, and pricing may change, and Azita provides current options and costs before ordering. She explains insurance, self pay, and practitioner billing options when relevant. Most kits include clear collection instructions and free drop shipment for qualified tests.
Ready to begin
Patients may contact Azita to discuss symptoms and goals. She will recommend appropriate testing, arrange kit pickup or shipment, and guide patients through a clear and compassionate plan to restore balance and resilience.
Testimonial
“I had been struggling with ongoing health issues and had seen several doctors who kept prescribing antibiotics, with plans for yet another round, but before I did, I decided to try functional lab testing with Azita, and it fully changed my understanding of what was going on in my body. The results revealed underlying imbalances that were never addressed before, and I finally had a path toward true healing rather than just suppressing symptoms. It was a relief to get clear answers about what was missing in my body and then a personalized plan that supported that healing. It was like western medicine precision but with eastern medicine care and philosophy. Very thankful.”
