Naturopathic Laboratory Testing

Naturopathic Doctors use a variety of testing methods depending on the patient and their needs. This can range from interpreting conventional bloodwork results to improving hormonal balance via saliva and urine tests, to determining food sensitivities via IgG Food Sensitivity Testing.

Naturopathic doctors regularly use the clinical information from specialized lab tests to help restore your body to a healthy balance.

Comprehensive Urine Elements

(Heavy Metal Testing)

The Comprehensive Urine Elements Profile is a toxic exposure test which measures urinary excretion of 15 nutrient elements and 20 toxic metals. These include classic toxins such as lead, mercury, and arsenic, as well as newer technology toxins such as niobium. This is an ideal toxic exposure test for patients suspected of toxic metal exposure as well as potential nutrient mineral wasting.

DUTCH (Complete Hormone Test)

This test is a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites. It also includes the daily, free cortisol pattern, organic acids, melatonin (6-OHMS), and 8-OHdG

Food Sensitivity Test - IgG blood spot, food sensitivity test

Food sensitivity is not a disease but may play a role in causing disease or worsening certain symptoms. Symptoms associated with food sensitivities develop slowly over time and can create inflammation. The RMA FST™ IgG Food Sensitivity Test can help identify potential food sensitivities and take the guess work out of your diet.

Patient Assessment Panels by LifeLabs

Patient Assessment Panels are a great tool for gaining comprehensive insights about your patient’s health status, improving your understanding of the underlying imbalances that lead to disease.

OMX - Organic Metabolomics

An Advanced Organic Acids and Amino Acids Profile

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.

GI MAP

Research overwhelmingly indicates that gut health impacts overall health. The gut microbiome plays a critical role in mediating the effects of diet and other factors on digestive, immune, metabolic, skin, brain, and neuroendocrine health.

Results allow practitioners to personalize gut healing protocols that optimize overall health. Get to the root cause of chronic conditions for your patients with GI‑MAP.
