What Is Lab Testing?
Lab testing allows patients to get more insight into the current state of their health so they can take proactive steps to treat symptoms, deficiencies, and conditions and prevent future diseases. Our different tests can give you a better understanding of the current state of your health and determine whether you’re suffering from micronutrient deficiencies or have certain food allergies that you’re currently unaware of.
This testing process provides invaluable information about your body and your health. For some, it helps connect the dots of why they’re experiencing certain symptoms. For others, it helps them learn more about their bodies and begin a treatment protocol to improve their health and reduce the risk of certain diseases.
How Is Lab Testing Performed?
Lab testing for everything from food sensitivities to micronutrient levels typically involves a blood draw. We may take one or several vials based on the extent of testing that we recommend for you. Once the results are in, we will have the information we need to recommend your next steps.
What Are the Benefits of Lab Testing?
Comprehensive Health Insights
A lab test can uncover hidden health issues and provide a clear picture of your overall well-being. This approach helps us identify areas that may need attention so that we can guide you toward a healthier lifestyle and better health management.
Early Disease Detection
Detecting diseases at their onset can improve treatment outcomes and quality of life. By using lab tests, we can spot early signs of conditions before they develop into more serious health issues.

Our Lab Testing Options
Micronutrient Testing
Our micronutrient lab testing option tests for 55 different micronutrient deficiencies. It tests vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other nutrients within your immune cells. Micronutrient deficiencies cause negative symptoms that can also lead to serious health concerns. Some of the most common include calcium, iron, potassium, vitamin B12, magnesium, and folate deficiencies. A vitamin D lab test can help us screen for bone disorders, while an iron test can help us get to the root of symptoms such as fatigue or headaches.
These deficiencies all lead to negative symptoms and can also contribute to health conditions. By testing for micronutrient deficiencies, we can give you more insight into your health and the cause of any symptoms you’re dealing with. Then, we can use your test results to customize a treatment protocol with IV drips and oral supplementation specifically designed for your needs.
ALCAT Test
The ALCAT test measures any responses you might have to the things you eat along with reactions to any other substances that happen at the cellular level. This lab test can help reveal any underlying triggers that can lead to uncomfortable symptoms. Men and women suffering from chemical and food sensitivities that they’re unaware of often have to deal with regular symptoms that negatively impact their health and how they feel daily.
The most common symptoms of food and chemical sensitivities include migraines, fatigue, joint pain, gastrointestinal disorders, and other symptoms related to chronic immune system activation. The ALCAT lab test can provide you with valuable insights into which foods and chemicals may be adversely affecting your body. By identifying these triggers, you can adjust your diet and lifestyle to reduce or eliminate them, potentially reducing symptoms and enhancing your overall health and well-being.
CICA Test
The CICA test option tests for gluten sensitivities and other gastrointestinal disorders. It analyzes genetic predisposition, measures potentially inflammatory cellular reactions, and can detect specific antibodies through a simple blood draw.
CICA is a lab test for celiac disease, IBS, and Crohn’s Array, diseases which all interfere with healthy gastrointestinal function. Once you get your results, you can take steps to treat your symptoms and eliminate different foods from your diet to promote gastrointestinal health and avoid discomfort.
MethylDetox Lab Test
The MethylDetox test is designed to test critical genes in the methylation pathway. Methylation is a biochemical process that assists with regulating specific bodily systems, including the body’s detoxification, neurological, reproductive, and cardiovascular systems. There are different foods, lifestyle choices, and habits that can interfere with methylation, which leads to negative symptoms.
The methylation lab test is designed to help you better understand your genes and how they impact methylation. Once you get your results, you can work towards addressing existing health problems and preventing future ones with the right lifestyle choices and nutrition. There are different nutrients found in whole foods, supplements, and IVs that promote healthy methylation, and we can design an IV protocol that’s right for you after you receive your test results.
