Functional Medicine

In my functional medicine practice, I offer a wide range of lab tests through Vibrant Wellness and Diagnostic Solutions Laborotary to help you understand the deeper layers of your health. These tests allow us to look beyond symptoms and see what is actually happening in your gut, hormones, immune system, inflammation pathways, toxins, nutrients, and more. When we can see clearly, we can heal clearly.

During your appointment, we choose the tests that are most appropriate for your concerns. Once results arrive, we review them together in a grounded, simple, and empowering way. You will understand what the numbers mean, what your body is communicating, and which systems need nourishment or support.

From this understanding, I craft a personalized plan that may include food guidance, herbal support, lifestyle refinement, acupuncture, and a step by step functional medicine protocol to help bring your body back into balance.

Lab tests vary in price depending on the type of panel, and testing fees are paid directly to the lab. Supplements are also not included. My role is to guide you with clarity and care so you feel supported throughout the entire process.

This work is for anyone who wants to go deeper, find the root of imbalance, and heal with precision, insight, and compassion.

What I offer, and why it matters

Total Tox Burden A broad urine-based test measuring combined exposure to: mycotoxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals. Helps assess overall toxic load. https://vibrant-wellness.com/tests/toxins/total-tox-burden

Micronutrient Panel Measures vitamin and nutrient status, likely including intracellular nutrients, to detect deficiencies that might not show up in standard blood work.

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.

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.

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 the lab 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 practitioner support

Both Vibrant Wellness and Diagnostic Solutions maintains an interpretive guide and a resource library to support clinicians and patients, and offers practitioner education through their Academies. 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

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 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.

I had been struggling with ongoing health issues and had seen several doctors who kept prescribing antibiotics, with plans for yet another roun 😬 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 of what was missing in my body and then a personalized plan that supported and targeted that healing. It was like western medicine precision but with eastern medicine care and philosophy. Very thankful.
