Functional Blood Chemistry + Urinalysis
I use blood chemistry and optimal functional ranges because they provide one of the most reliable, scientifically-validated windows into your current state of health. Blood tests are widely studied and trusted in both conventional and functional medicine, offering a detailed picture of how your body is functioning on a cellular and systemic level. By interpreting these markers through optimal - not just "normal" - ranges, I can catch imbalances and patterns that may be missed with a standard lab review. This proactive approach allows me to identify early signs of dysfunction and tailor nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support your unique needs before symptoms escalate. You’ll learn so much more than just, “Your labs look great!”
I include a urinalysis because it offers addtional insight into hydration status, kidney function, and potential metabolic imbalances that complement what we see in blood work. I am able to order your labs at wholesale cost through Evexia, and you can go visit any Labcorp location for your blood draw and urine collection. As of April 2025, my custom panel (markers listed below) costs $216.
