Functional lab testing is the sexiest part of functional health coaching! It’s so exciting to finally see what’s the cause of your symptoms in cold, hard data with an advanced functional test.
This type of advanced testing is not available through your conventional doctor’s office, but we make it super affordable by offering the labs to you at our cost plus the cost of a private test review session with us.
Take a look below at our current testing options. Which is the best fit for you?
1) GI-MAP to Troubleshoot Digestive Issues
The GI-MAP test by Diagnostic Solutions is one of my favorites tests. The GI-MAP report is very clear and covers so many markers of gut health and infections. The gut is related to hormonal balance, weight management, pain, mood and more. If you want to straighten out a cornerstone of your health, go for the gut!
What Does the GI-MAP Test Package Include?
a GI-MAP test kit
and these markers:
Parasite test and worm infestations
Candida and H Pylori infections
Bacterial health of the large intestine
Markers of pancreatic health (enzymes) and fat digestion
Marker of beta-glucuronidase (marker of estrogen and phase 2 detox)
Zonulin test* (leaky gut test and leaky brain)
Who Is This For?
This test can be run by men or women, and there is no upper age limit to run this test.
This test is a great idea for anyone struggling with:
Autoimmunity
Chronic digestive complaints
Chronic inflammation
Mood and hormonal issues
Leaky Gut Syndrome
2) DUTCH Hormone Test
The DUTCH Complete hormone test is a client favorite for a simple reason: so many people have annoying, chronic hormonal symptoms and they want to know why!
The very best use of this test is to understand your sex hormones. Are you making too much estrogen? Not enough testosterone? These can cause symptoms like heavy periods, weight gain and low sex drive.
While these uses are my favorites, the DUTCH offers a lot more. You’ll see your cortisol production over the course of the day, affecting energy and sleep. You’ll see how you are methylating and if you have excessive oxidative damage. You’ll even learn about B vitamin and glutathione status.
What Does the DUTCH Hormone Test Package Include?
a one-day DUTCH Complete test that includes estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, cortisol, melatonin, some vitamins, neurotransmitters and more!
option to have your results reviewed and get diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations based on your results.
Who Is This For?
This test can be run by men or women, at least a few years out of puberty, so about ages 16 and up. There is no upper age limit to run this test as we continue to make hormones throughout life.
This test is a great idea for anyone struggling with:
Estrogen Dominance test
Difficult menopause
Low energy
Weight Loss Resistance
Infertility
PMS/ Period problems
Insomnia
Anxiety
3) Thyroid Plus Lab Review
Of all the tests we offer, this one could be had at your doctor’s office. But the trouble is that unless your primary care doc is functional and your insurance plan is generous, you likely won’t get the testing that you want, nor the correct guidance about your results.
Our Thyroid Testing includes all the essential thyroid makers, plus markers of vitamin D, blood sugar and anemia. The blood test can be drawn in most states, but not internationally.
It includes a thyroid antibody test and will test you for autoimmune thyroiditis, and hypothyroidism.
What Does the Thyroid Testing Package Include?
A full thyroid lab testing package, a vitamin D test, anemia markers, and blood sugar markers
option to have your results reviewed by an expert coach and get diet, supplement, and lifestyle recommendations based on your results.
Who Is This For?
This package is for anyone who is struggling with symptoms of thyroid imbalance! Including:
Low energy
Cold hands and feet
Brain fog
Weight gain
4) Big Three Testing Package (now sold separately)
We used to offer all three tests above in one package, but now you can order them separately. Running all three of the above tests together will give you a well-rounded view of your health.
We called this testing package the ‘Big Three.’ Again you have the option to get a private review and planning session with your Functional Detox Products functional health coach!

5) Mold and Toxins Testing and Review
Saving the best for last...I am so thrilled about the Mold & Toxins Testing offers that we have. If it’s right for you, you can choose Total Tox-Burden + PFAS Chemicals - the full test of mold, chemicals, and Organic Acids- it’s so worthwhile.
This test is an at-home urine test offering three options: mold, mold + organic acids, and mold + organic acids and chemicals. Combined, these tests screen for toxic mold, systemic candida, Clostridia, chemical burden, and detoxification capacity.
Who Is This For?
This package is for anyone who suspects mold toxicity or is struggling with mystery illness!
What Does the Mold Testing Package Include?
A mycotoxins urine test, aka mold toxicity test
Optional private, test analysis consult with one of our functional health and mold experts. A written, customized list of supplement and lifestyle recommendations based on your test results
About the Three Testing Options (old offer)
Option 1: Mycotoxins Test (mold test)
--> This main mycotoxins test screens for eleven different mycotoxins, from 40 species of mold, in one urine sample.Option 2: Add the Organic Acids Testing (OAT) (includes the Mycotoxins Test also)
--> The Organic Acids Test uses the same urine sample at the Mycotoxin test, and it tests markers of metabolism that can inform us about Candida overgrowth, bacterial infection, neurotransmitter production, glutathione status and more.Option 3: Add the Non-metal Chemicals & Glyphosate Test (includes Mycotoxins and OAT Testing)
--> GPL-TOX (Toxic Non-metal Chemicals) screens for 172 different environmental pollutants using 18 different metabolites, all from a single urine sample. This is not a heavy metals test, but rather tests for chemicals we are exposed to, including gasoline additives and pesticides.--> The Glyphosate Test screens for levels of glyphosate, the world's most widely used herbicide. It is broad-spectrum and is used in more than 700 different products in farming and home use. "Glyphosate was introduced in the 1970s to kill weeds by targeting the enzymes that produce the amino acids tyrosine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine. The enzymes of many bacteria are also susceptible to inhibition by this chemical, thus altering the flora of many animals..." including the gut flora of humans.
