Lab Testing
While it's important to focus on supporting basic foundations of health such as diet, sleep, stress, and exercise, sometimes we want quantified data to give us some direction. This is where lab testing comes in.
I am able to order certain labs for you, particularly those focused on metabolic health, gut health, food sensitivities, and nutrient levels.
Any purchased tests will be mailed to you. Depending on the administration requirement, you may be able to collect a sample at home (i.e. blood spot, saliva, or hair), or you may need local phlebotomy services to draw blood. Once the sample is collected, it is mailed back to the lab for testing. You will receive your test results when testing is complete.
Because I believe we should listen to the body first as it communicates with us through symptoms, I most likely won't push lab testing on anyone unless you ask for it or if I feel like the data would be particularly helpful for you.
Contact me if you have questions about ordering labs! I can get you certain tests even if you are not utilizing psychotherapy or nutrition services.
Note: If you purchase the metabolic/clinical nutrition package, a metabolic blood panel is included in the price.
