Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test

Uncover Your Hormonal Balance With Mood, Metabolism & Libido

Test Type: Saliva & Blood

Lab Overview
Hormone balance is one of the most overlooked factors in achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. For many people, it has less to do with daily caloric intake or how much they exercise and everything to do with hormone balance: cortisol (stress), thyroid, blood sugar, and hidden inflammation that adds even more stress to the system, and this metabolism test looks at all of that and more. There's no denying hormones play a pivotal role in how you feel; being a bit too high or too low, or not in the right ratio with counterbalancing hormones, can disrupt metabolic function. Changes in mood, libido, energy, weight, puffiness, or hair – there is always a reason. To support vital hormonal balance and optimize your metabolism, the Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test will give you the detailed, accurate measurement of key hormone levels with further assessment that offers real meaning on how to rebalance your hormones.
What Is Measured
This test reports 19 markers from saliva and dried blood spot samples, grouped into sex hormones, cortisol, thyroid, cardiometabolic markers, and vitamin D.

Sex Hormones: Estradiol, Progesterone, Ratio: Pg/E2, Testosterone, DHEA

Cortisol: Morning, Noon, Evening, Night, Total Cortisol

Thyroid: Free T4, Free T3, TSH, TPOab

Cardio Metabolic: Insulin, Hemoglobin A1c

Vitamin D: Vitamin D2, Vitamin D3, Total Vitamin D

Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test

Comprehensive View of Your Gut, Energy, Mood & Vitamin Levels

Test Type: Urine

Lab Overview
If you were to run only one at-home lab test to assess the overall state of your digestion, microbial probiotic balance, and gut health, it would be this Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test. Measuring your levels of intestinal yeast and bacteria can uncover the deepest root causes of how you're feeling, including gut issues. High or unbalanced levels of microorganisms lead to widespread symptoms related to immune function: fatigue, inflammation/joint pain, skin rashes, mood imbalances, and more, plus they can impact existing disorders related to behavior and neurological function. With over 75 biomarkers, the Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test will show you exactly where you stand in terms of vitamins, energy mitochondrial producers, neurotransmitter metabolites, and detoxifiers. Kidney disease and kidney stones are common in people with high levels of oxalates in their bodies, making it an important marker to test. Those also affected are individuals with fibromyalgia and women with vulvar pain. This is the "go-to" lab when you want to find out how well your body is doing from the inside out!
What Is Measured
This test reports 77 markers from a urine sample, grouped into intestinal microbial overgrowth (yeast and fungal, bacterial and Clostridia markers), oxalate, glycolytic cycle, mitochondrial, neurotransmitter, pyrimidine, ketone and fatty acid oxidation, nutritional, detoxification, amino acid, mineral metabolism and fluid intake markers.

Omega-3 & Inflammation Test

Find Out Your Omega-6 to Omega-3 Inflammation Score

Test Type: Blood

Lab Overview
When our body is experiencing unbalanced levels of inflammation, it can cause a multitude of health challenges. By looking closely at Omega-3 and Omega-6 ratio levels, you are getting to the potential root cause of the imbalances. When our inflammation levels are not balanced, it shows up in our body in a range of ways.
What Is Measured
This test reports 14 fatty acid markers from a dried blood spot, grouped into key scores and ratios, the omega-3 family and the omega-6 family.

Key Scores & Ratios: Total Omega 3 Score, % Omega 3 in HUFA, % Omega 6 in HUFA, Omega 3 Index, Omega 6/Omega 3 Ratio, AA/EPA Ratio

Omega 6 Family: Total Omega 6 Score, LA (18:2ω6), DGLA (20:3ω6), AA (20:4ω6)

Minerals & Metals Test

Discover Electrolyte & Mineral Imbalances & Heavy Metal Toxicities

Test Type: Hair

Lab Overview
The Mineral & Metals Test will give you clear insight into possible adrenal dysfunction as well as help you discover early warning signs of heavy metal toxicity by analyzing a hair sample. Minerals are key for overall good health and are often overlooked. In fact, imbalances of essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium can not only cause fatigue but could possibly be an indicator of more serious health issues over time. Toxins can't be avoided, and we are exposed to heavy metals in our daily environment. From the food you eat, air or water pollution, certain medicines, food containers with a harmful coating, personal care products we use on our skin and in our homes can all contain harmful chemicals and increase our toxic load. Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are among four of the most common heavy metals that can cause health challenges. A certified health coach will explain your lab results, and armed with a plan to restore mineral balance and remove accumulated toxicities, you'll be on the path to better manage stress, improve your energy levels, enjoy more restful sleep, and a balanced mood.
What Is Measured
This test reports 28 markers from a hair sample, grouped into electrolyte minerals, nutrient minerals, toxic metals, additional minerals, mineral ratios and oxidizing status.

Electrolyte Minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium

Nutrient Minerals: Iron, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Chromium, Selenium, Phosphorus

Toxic Metals: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Aluminum

Additional Minerals: Nickel, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Lithium

Mineral Ratios: Ca/Mg, Ca/K, Na/Mg, Na/K, Zn/Cu, Ca/P

Oxidizing Status: Ca/P, Na/Mg

Food Sensitivity IgG Test

Discover Your Sensitivities to 190 Common Foods

Test Type: Blood

Lab Overview
Having an IgG food sensitivity is very different from having a food allergy. Where food allergy tests look for severe, life-threatening, or immediate food reactions, an IgG food sensitivity test looks for foods that may be causing hidden immune reactions 24-72 hours after eating. Persistent health issues may be due to ongoing food sensitivities, which, when left unaddressed, can lead to unbalanced inflammation. By learning which common foods you have an IgG sensitivity to, you can start to eliminate these foods from your diet. Your body will be better equipped to function, and by decreasing potential inflammation, numerous bodily systems will work more effectively. This test will provide an in-depth glance at 190 common food sensitivities as well as provide a snapshot of potential yeast and candida, so you can make crucial adjustments to your diet.
