Functional Medicine Labs & Testing: Option A

Genova NutrEval

Ensuring that your body has all the necessary nutrients to feed every cell is key to preventing a number of diseases. There are several causes of nutritional imbalances beyond the food on your plate. Testing to make sure all of your body’s systems are functioning properly will reveal what genetic and lifestyle predispositions may be contributing to your nutrient imbalances. By uncovering the root cause, you can get on the fast track to recovery.

NutrEval is the most comprehensive functional and nutritional assessment available. It is designed to help practitioners identify root causes of dysfunction and provide a systems-based approach to help patients overcome chronic conditions and live a healthier life.

Option A is great for anyone who is:

• Looking to overcome chronic conditions and live a healthier life

• Experiencing weight management issues

• Struggling with getting pregnant and/or staying pregnant 

• Having blood sugar spikes or showing signs of insulin resistance

• Suffering from digestive problems, chest pain, indigestion, heartburn, extreme fatigue, or mood disorders

• Experiencing high levels of stress

• Concerned with heavy metals and toxins stored in the body

Option A evaluates over 125 biomarkers that assess your body’s functional need for:

• Antioxidants

• Micronutrients

• Essential fatty acids

• Vitamins 

• Minerals

• Gi support

• Amino acids

Option A measures your mitochondrial dysfunction, affecting how your body reproduces cells. It also includes a full report quantifying your toxic exposures to heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, plastics, MTBE (what leaches from gas into the groundwater), and many other toxins.

If you’re looking for fertility support, this option gives you an understanding of your vitamin and mineral deficiencies, oxidative stress affecting your cellular turnover and aging process as well as the breakdown of your reproductive cells. This is very important for fertility because for many women, their cells are essentially declining before they can ever reproduce to become a baby.

The NutrEval test is a cheek swab (saliva test) and urine test combined with a simple blood draw. These can be collected in the comfort of your own home and shipped out by a mobile phlebotomist. No matter where you live in the world, we can help coordinate your labs for you either at home or with your nearby outpatient testing facility.

Labs & Testing: Option B

Genova NutrEval and DUTCH Complete

Hormone problems are the root cause of several health conditions like diabetes, thyroid disease, fertility problems, irregular and painful menstrual cycles, headaches, weight management, plus so many more. Balancing your hormones isn’t as simple as you would think because there are two main causes of hormone imbalances. Your body is either not producing them or it’s not metabolizing the hormones correctly.

Oftentimes, patients who are struggling with infertility are not producing a healthy ratio of progesterone and testosterone so they don’t have any luteinizing hormones which signal the egg to ovulate. While this test is especially helpful for women experiencing irregular periods or fertility issues, it’s also useful as a tool to get to the root of any “off” feeling you may be experiencing.

DUTCH Complete is the most accurate and precise method for testing reproductive hormones and their metabolites.

Option B includes the Genova NutrEval testing listed above in Option A plus the DUTCH Complete, which tests for:

• 20 sex hormones metabolite markers - 10 different types of estrogen, 2 progesterone, 8 androgen

• 12 adrenal metabolite markers - 4 Cortisol, 4 Cortisone, 3 Cortisol Metabolites, 4 Creatinine, and DHEA-S), 6 Organic Acids, 8-OHdG, and Melatonin

• Look at all the hormone levels-want to understand if your body’s actually metabolizing the hormones or if you’re just not producing them 

• The body’s cortisol production 

Option B is great for anyone who is:

• Looking to overcome chronic conditions and live a healthier life

• Experiencing weight management issues

• Struggling with getting pregnant and/or staying pregnant 

• Having blood sugar spikes or showing signs of insulin resistance

• Suffering from digestive problems, chest pain, indigestion, heartburn, extreme fatigue, or mood disorders

• Experiencing high levels of stress

• Concerned with heavy metals and toxins stored in the body

• Wanting to get to the root cause of hormone imbalances

DUTCH Complete is an at-home urine test where patients collect four or five samples over a 24-hour period. The samples are dried, which makes them stable for several weeks allowing them to be shipped conveniently from anywhere worldwide.

Labs & Testing: Option C

Genova NutrEval, DUTCH Complete, Vaginosis Profile, and Thyroid Testing

This is the most comprehensive testing option if you’re looking to get your exact blueprint for what it will take for you to conceive naturally. Option C includes all of the testing listed above, a full thyroid panel, plus a vaginosis profile which measures the pH of your vaginal microbiome.

Many women who are struggling to get pregnant have a vaginal microbiome that’s too acidic. When this is the case, your partner’s sperm are killed before they even make it past the birth canal. While a healthy vaginal microbiome is especially important when you’re trying to conceive, it can cause issues during pregnancy as well. Hormonal imbalances, irritation, and infection can harm sperm, your eggs, and even cause scarring of your fallopian tubes leading to fertilization failure.

Option C is great for anyone who is:

• Looking to overcome chronic conditions and live a healthier life

• Experiencing weight management issues

• Struggling with getting pregnant and/or staying pregnant 

• Having blood sugar spikes or showing signs of insulin resistance

• Suffering from digestive problems, chest pain, indigestion, heartburn, extreme fatigue, or mood disorders

• Experiencing high levels of stress

• Concerned with heavy metals and toxins stored in the body

• Wanting to get to the root cause of hormone imbalances

• Experiencing thyroid problems

• Getting persistent yeast infections

• Experiencing vaginal discomfort (pain, itching, or burning), vaginal discharge, or burning when urinating

• Noticing a strong fish-like odor, especially after sex

Option C includes a combination of urine tests, blood tests, and a vaginal swab.

The vaginal swab is a self-administered kit that’s almost as easy as inserting a tampon. You’ll receive the kit in the mail, follow the directions that tell you exactly how to use the Q-tip and send it back to the lab.

DUTCH Complete is an at-home urine test where patients collect four or five samples over a 24-hour period. The samples are dried, which makes them stable for several weeks allowing them to be shipped conveniently from anywhere worldwide.
