Laboratory Tests

Unlike traditional labs that focus on disease pathology (or what made you sick), Healthibeing offers comprehensive panels that combine standard and innovative biomarkers designed to provide a more complete understanding of specific biological systems, which helps me understand how you can achieve optimal health. As you take an active role in managing your health and I focus on prevention, my diagnostic tests provide the most complete picture of health that can help identify problems before chronic conditions and diseases develop.

This test evaluates digestion, absorption, gut flora, and the colonic environment, and is indicated for all chronic gastrointestinal problems, for acute bowel pattern changes, and for many systemic diseases. This profile also provides a sensitivity panel for treating pathogenic flora. Additionally, Healthibeing offers a parasitology component with the CDSA 2.0 that evaluates for parasites using microscopic examination and EIA testing.

This test analyzes serum levels of TSH, free T4, free T3, reverse T3, anti-TG antibodies, and anti-TPO antibodies to assess central and peripheral thyroid function, as well as thyroid auto-immunity. Your doctor will generally only test for TSH or T4.

This test evaluates stool for presence of parasites and levels of beneficial flora, imbalanced flora, pathogenic bacteria, and yeast. This is an ideal test for patients with sudden changes in bowel pattern, especially for those who have been traveling abroad or camping.

Click here to see my Rhythm/Plus Comprehensive Female Hormone Profile

This test measures the monthly fluctuations in oestradiol and progesterone over the course of a menstrual cycle, as well as testosterone levels, imbalances of which can produce a range of symptoms. This test is recommended for pre-menopausal women. Salivary testing of these three hormones, unlike serum testing, measures the free un-bound fraction of hormone. If necessary, an adrenal stress profile may be added where an inappropriate stress response is suspected.
