These are some of the most common tests that I do with clients. I have access to over 30 different functional lab tests which I can offer to you as needed.
GI Map Stool Test from Nordics Lab
The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP) is an innovative clinical tool that measures gastrointestinal microbiota DNA from a single stool sample with state of the art, quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology.
The GI-MAP was designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness as well as indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function. With a culture-based test it is not possible to measure strict anaerobes, viruses or virulence factors.
The GI-MAP's accuracy and reliability allows personalized protocols to address gut dysfunction based on which infections are urgent, which areas of the gut are already optimized, and which areas should be addressed after an infection is resolved. Additionally, the quantification of identified micro-organisms offers a remarkable ability to see how treatment modalities are working because a retest after treatment can show whether a parasite has resolved, dysbiosis has improved, and more.
Parasitic Pathogens (Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia)
Viral Pathogens (Adenovirus, Norovirus, Rotavirus)
H pylori (H Pylori, with 7 virulence factors)

DUTCH Hormone Test
DUTCH Complete (DUTCH Adrenals + DUTCH Hormone Metabolites Profiles + Melatonin), the DUTCH Complete now includes the following additional markers
Homovanillate (HVA) – the primary dopamine metabolite
Vanilmandelate (VMA) – the primary norepinephrine and epinephrine metabolite
5-hydroxyindoleacetate (5HIAA) – the primary serotonin metabolite
Methylmalonate (MMA) – elevated if patients are vitamin B12 deficient
Xanthurenate – elevated if patients are vitamin B6 deficient
Pyroglutamate – elevated if patients are glutathione deficient
DUTCH Plus (DUTCH Adrenals + DUTCH Hormones Metabolites Profiles + Melatonin + Cortisol Awakening Response CAR)
