Functional Lab Tests Offered:

1. Food Sensitivity Testing (US Biotek IgG): Food sensitivities can be correlated to a variety of health conditions such as Iritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), Crohn’s Disease, Eczema, Autoimmune conditions, as well as many others. The proper identification of foods that trigger these immune responses and elimination of these foods, often results in the resolution of the symptoms. This finger prick test assesses a number of common reactive foods and it is a fundamental tool used to identify these trigger foods.

​

2. GI – MAP:  Our GI tract contains an entire microbial ecosystem, called the “microbiome.” This ecosystem is crucial to our health and any imbalances of the microbiome can result in inflammation, impaired immunity, digestive dysfunction, hormone imbalances, alterations in mood, as well as impaired metabolism. Our gut contains both “good” and “bad” bacteria at any given time. This stool analysis test is used to assess the balance between the populations of beneficial and pathogenic bacteria within our digestive tract. This test evaluates the presence of a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, parasites, viruses, as well as yeast. 

 

3. Precision Analytical’s DUTCH Complete: DUTCH stands for Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones. This test provides a comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones that is both accurate and convenient. Key test markers include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, melatonin, as well as some key organic acids which can specially identify key nutrient deficiencies.

 

4. Zyto: This test is a simple and painless biocommunication scan. The test is conducted using the Zyto Hand Scanner. Subtle energetic impulses are introduced and your body’s responses are recorded. In essence, a ZYTO scanner asks questions of your body and records the responses in the form of signals it receives. This feedback provides accurate information about your body’s needs within its different systems and organ functions.

In person only.

In a similar manner, subtract if your cycles are shorter (example: collect days 17-20 for a 26 day cycle). You may collect any day if only ordering the DUTCH Adrenal or DUTCH OATs. For irregular cycles or non-cycling (ablation or uterus removed), watch the irregular cycle collection video in the video library at dutchtest.com/videos for suggestions on collecting.

Men & Non-Cycling or Postmenopausal Women Collect any day.

​

Using Hormones?

DO NOT TAKE oral DHEA 48 hours before, or any oral estrogen* or pregnenolone 72 hours before your first collection.

*Do not skip doses of birth control for this test unless instructed by your practitioner.

Any other hormones taken at NIGHT (including oral progesterone) should be taken after the bedtime sample. Generally, hormone creams or gels can be taken as usual during the test. All hormones taken in the MORNING should not be taken until after sample #4.

If you take glucocorticoids (Prednisone, Dexamethasone, etc.) check with your practitioner. For patches, pellets and injections, collect midway between doses. If you take sublingual hormones (absorbed in the mouth or under the tongue) or if you take oral hydrocortisone (cortisol), visit dutchtest.com for specific video instructions.

What is a Food Sensitivity Test?

​The IgG Food Sensitivity Test is a finger prick test and dried blood spot collection that tests for 96 General Foods and Candida. It is a safe, effective and useful tools in the identification of trigger foods in individuals. Food allergies and sensitivities are recognized to be correlated with many plaguing health conditions, but with proper identification and elimination of offending foods, many experience relief from their symptoms.  

Why Run a Food Sensitivity Test?

  • Because the produce inflammatory responses in an individual are one of the most prevalent "hidden stressors" contributing to metabolic chaos.

  • Any food can trigger an inflammatory response.

  • Symptoms can be delayed for many hours after ingestion, or a person may have noticeable symptoms.

  • Rotation diets are difficult and time consuming.

  • Testing is simple and allows us to quickly assess your diet and make recommendations.

  • You benefit from eliminating reactive foods and learning how to listen to the body while becoming aware of the effects that food has on your health. 

  • All reactive foods must be eliminated for a minimum of 90 days and you can retest or reintroduce foods one at a time to monitor any adverse reactions.

ZYTO - Wellness / Supplement Suggestions  

A simple ZYTO biocommunication scan can help inform your wellness decisions by providing accurate readings directly from your body.

WHAT IS A ZYTO SCAN?

A ZYTO scan involves presenting questions in the form of digital signatures that the body answers directly. The ZYTO Hand Cradle measures the body’s galvanic skin response to each unique signature and sends the data directly to the software for analysis.

​

HOW DOES IT WORK?

An easy-to-read report displays a ranking of items whose digital signatures resulted in biological coherence, or preference. Observing patterns, relationships, and trends in the report data can provide valuable insight into the client's wellness.
