 🧪Functional Lab Tests

Discover the root cause - not just the symptoms -
and start your personalized wellness journey.

Functional lab tests are designed to uncover the hidden imbalances that standard medical tests often miss. They allow us to see how your body is functioning, not just whether a disease has already developed.

We recommend only the tests that truly match your unique presentation, so you avoid unnecessary costs and prevent guesswork that could lead to the wrong interventions.

These may include:

  • Organic Acids (metabolism, mitochondria, nutrients, detox pathways)

  • IgG Food Reactivity (immune-mediated sensitivities and gut permeability patterns)

  • Stool Analysis (microbiome balance, inflammation, digestion markers, parasites)

  • Urine / Toxicity Panels (mold, environmental toxins, heavy metals)

  • Hair Mineral Analysis (long-term mineral patterns and heavy-metal exposure)

  • Hormone & Adrenal Panels (stress patterns, cortisol rhythm, sex hormones)

Each of these tests helps us build a precise functional map of your biology — so we can understand what’s really driving your symptoms and tailor a plan that works for you.

✅ What Makes Functional Lab Testing Unique?

Unlike standard medical tests, functional lab tests examine how your body systems are actually functioning. They reveal hidden imbalances, deficiencies, toxic burdens, digestive issues, or genetic predispositions that often go undetected in conventional bloodwork. Functional tests are essential for creating a customized plan that addresses your unique needs — not just general guidelines.

The GI-MAP® (Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive stool test that relies on quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology to detect parasites, bacteria, H. pylori, fungi, and more by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested.

Now Available! StoolOMX™ combines two essential quantitative analyses in one convenient panel, a bile acid test and a short chain fatty acid test. StoolOMX is an add-on profile to the GI‑MAP® and evaluates 25 bile acids in total concentrations, percents, and ratios, as well as nine short chain fatty acids. Results from StoolOMX offer practitioners a more precise look into the underlying causes of IBS, IBD, bile acid diarrhea, altered motility, the state of the microbiome, and more. Bile acids and short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) play essential roles in digestion, motility, microbiome balance, and metabolic health. Testing these gut metabolites provides additional understanding of gut functionality, revealing imbalances that may contribute to various health concerns.

H. pylori Profile Definitive Results from One Stool Sample Our comprehensive H. pylori DNA Profile offers the latest Real-Time qPCR Molecular Technology. DNA based testing offers significant advantages to other methods. Including testing for H. pylori Antibiotic Resistance Genes and Virulence Factors. Patient treatment efficacy is greatly improved with phenotypic antibiotic resistance testing to guide treatment protocols. Additionally, Virulence Factor testing can help to identify the symptoms that H. pylori is contributing to and potential to cause disease.

Pathogens Panel (stool) DNA qPCR Stool Analysis The Pathogens Panel uses quantitative PCR technology to evaluate pathogenic organisms in stool. The Pathogens Profile reports on a wide array of pathogens, including bacterial gut pathogens, Norovirus, Adenovirus, parasitic pathogens, and H. pylori and its virulence factors. Practitioners can use this panel when looking for the underlying cause of gut-related illnesses or as a follow-up to the GI-MAP® test to evaluate treatment success.

OMX - Organic Metabolomics An Advanced Organic Acids and Amino Acids Profile Metabolomic Testing Offers Enhanced Insights into Patient Metabolic Status The OMX® Organic Metabolomics test from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory evaluates urine and plasma metabolites—including organic acids, amino acids, and other key compounds—to assist practitioners in unraveling their patient’s metabolic pathways, revealing their unique Metabolic Signature. Using a systems-biology approach, OMX assesses biomarkers that go beyond the traditional lists of metabolites. This test enables practitioners to see a patient’s larger health picture by deciphering and connecting perturbations of key metabolic pathways and analytes, allowing for truly personalized therapeutic support.

AAp - Amino Acids Profile A Metabolomic Profile that Offers Key Insights into a Patient's Metabolic Signature The Amino Acid Profile from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory uses a systems-biology approach to evaluate essential and non-essential amino acids in plasma. Plasma amino acids generally exhibit low variation within individuals, with essential amino acids maintaining a relatively steady state. Excessive or insufficient amino acid levels may be the result of an imbalanced diet or changes in requirements due to genetic variants, disease, or impaired metabolism.

Food Sensitivity Test to Support Gut and Immune Health Evaluate Over 250 Food Sensitivities With a Simple At-Home Collection! The IgG Food Explorer™ by Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is a comprehensive food sensitivity test that measures total IgG antibodies to over 250 food antigens using an Elisa-based multiplex platform. With a simple at-home collection, the IgG Food Explorer helps practitioners assess immune-mediated food sensitivities and develop personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations for their patients. By identifying hidden food sensitivities, this test supports strategies to reduce inflammation, improve digestion, and alleviate symptoms related to adverse food reactions.
