In Functional Medicine, lab tests including blood, urine, hair, stool samples, and saliva tests are vital to not only diagnosis of illness, but to successful management of treatment – getting to the root cause of the symptoms or disease. Some of these tests include comprehensive hormone and adrenal gland testing, metabolic panel, food allergy test, food, chemical and environmental sensitivity tests, toxic metal analysis, neurotransmitters analysis, micronutrient analysis, and lifestyle analysis. Other tests assess cardiovascular risk markers, early detection screening markers for cancer, gastrointestinal health and more.
