These panels examine hormones, gut health, and mineral balance together. Not one system at a time, and not one moment in time. That’s how patterns show up that no single test can see on its own.
Mineral deficiencies weaken your gut.
Your gut recycles your hormones.
That’s why I test them all together.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
WHAT IT LOOKS AT
36 elements from a small hair sample: nutritional minerals, toxic metals including lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium and aluminum, plus the ratios between them.

WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
Blood holds minerals in a tight range by pulling them from tissue when it has to, so a blood test can read normal while your tissues are running empty. Hair reflects what’s actually stored, across two to three months. And the ratios matter more than the values. An imbalanced sodium to potassium ratio can flag a stress pattern while both minerals sit inside range individually.

DNA Stool Analysis
WHAT IT LOOKS AT
Over 60 targets from a single stool sample using qPCR DNA technology. Pathogens, parasites, H. pylori and its virulence factors, opportunistic overgrowth, fungi and yeast, beneficial flora, plus direct markers of digestion, inflammation and gut barrier integrity.

Over 60 gut markers from a single stool sample, including candida, parasites, bacterial infections, gluten sensitivity, leaky gut, and much more.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
A conventional stool test is looking for a handful of acute pathogens, and it’s usually only ordered if you’re actively sick. This maps the whole terrain, including what’s quietly there and shaping how you feel every day. It also measures whether you’re actually breaking food down. Pancreatic elastase, steatocrit and secretory IgA tell us about digestive capacity, not just what’s living there.

Dried Urine Hormone Test
WHAT IT LOOKS AT
35 hormones and their metabolites, collected four to five times across a single day. Estrogen and its detox pathways, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, free and metabolized cortisol, melatonin, oxidative stress, plus organic acid markers for B6, B12 and neurotransmitters.

35 hormones and their metabolites, including all sex hormones, stress hormones like cortisol, and how every hormone in your body interacts together.
WHY IT’S DIFFERENT
A blood draw gives you one hormone at one moment, usually whenever the appointment happened to be. This shows your full cortisol curve across the day, and it shows where hormones go after your body makes them. Two people can produce identical estrogen and clear it down completely different pathways, with completely different consequences. Timed to the cycle, not to the schedule.

My Story
I built this process because I lived this problem.
I lived through mold toxicity I did not recognize, chronic cystic acne and rashes, hormonal imbalances, digestive issues, recurring sinus infections, and profound fatigue.
After years of prescriptions that treated each symptom separately, functional testing finally connected my gut, hormones, minerals, environment, nutrition, and lifestyle. That experience shaped how I work today: test with purpose, connect the patterns, personalize the plan, and support the process.
Functional medicine gave me the larger picture I had been searching for, and the information to make more targeted decisions around my own body.
I built this approach to offer others the connected, thoughtful care I spent years searching for.
