Home Lab Tests for Ultimate Health
Mycotoxins (Mold)
Mycotoxin mold lab tests are vital for identifying abnormal compounds from molds in moist areas and crucial for detecting toxins from species like Stachybotrys (aka "toxic black mold"), Aspergillus, Penicillium, and many other water damaged mycotoxins.
These toxins can cause a range of health issues and symptoms ranging from mild allergies to severe neurological damage, cancer risk, and immunosuppression, depending on exposure duration, intensity, individual health levels, and genetics.
The Total Mycotoxin Panel by RealTime Laboratories uses urine samples to detect 16 mycotoxins, such as Aflatoxins and Ochratoxins, providing insight into the body's mycotoxin load.
MycoTOX by MOSAIC DIAGNOSTICS is another advanced diagnostic tool. It is crafted to identify eleven unique mycotoxins within the body, offering a comprehensive assessment of exposure to these harmful substances.
Lyme Disease
The critical importance of early infection detection and precise diagnosis in combating Lyme disease virus infection and other tick-borne illnesses is another factor to wellness.
Lyme disease presents patients with a severe health threat when the infection is untreated, potentially causing neurological issues, chronic joint pain, heart complications, cancer, and cognitive impairments.
Experience highlights the importance of precise diagnostic tools, such as IGNEX's Tick-Borne Disease Panels TBD4IB and TBD11, in managing tick-borne illnesses effectively.
Both tests are available for serum and whole blood samples, crucial for detecting Lyme disease and other tick-transmitted infections by identifying specific antibodies and microorganism DNA.
Organic Acids
On the flip side, organic acids, byproducts of metabolism found in urine, indicate the body's metabolic health. Their levels can reveal nutrient deficiencies, energy production issues, and gut health imbalances. Testing helps diagnose underlying metabolic problems, aiding in targeted treatments for better health outcomes.
I recommend the Organic Acids Test (OAT) offered by MOSAIC DIAGNOSTICS and the Organix test by GENOVA DIAGNOSTICS, both of which utilize urine samples.
The OAT provides in-depth insights into your health, including gut health, nutrient deficiencies, and neurotransmitter levels.
Similarly, the Organix test offers a comprehensive analysis of your body's metabolic pathways, including nutrient status and organic acids, to identify potential metabolic issues.
Environmental Toxins
Minimizing exposure to environmental toxins is further critical to wellness. Designed to detect heavy metals and glyphosate, these tests offer a range of crucial insights into your body's toxin levels, essential for anyone aiming to protect their health.
I offer the Environmental Pollutants Profile (EPP) through US BIOTEK, utilizing urine samples to gauge and measure the levels of specific toxins in your body, thereby assessing your toxic burden.
Another convenient functional lab test is RTL Tox Complete from REALTIME LABORATORIES. This urine test combines detection of mycotoxins, assessing 36 organic acids for nutritional insights, and evaluating environmental pollutants to measure the body's toxic load.
Food Sensitivities and Allergies
Moreover, identifying and managing food sensitivities is vital to optimizing your health. Through detailed analysis and testing of your immune response to a full and broad range of foods, it's time to pinpoint your dietary triggers and customize your nutrition.
Thankfully, I can guide you in the area of dietary antigen testing, which includes two critical tests: the P88 Dietary Antigen Test from PRECISION POINT and the foodANALYZER IgG Food Sensitivity test from ACCESS MED LABS.
The P88 test analyzes your serum for reactions to 88 common foods across IgE, IgG, IgG4, and complement (C3d) markers, aiding in the identification of food allergies and sensitivities linked to chronic illnesses.
Meanwhile, the foodANALYZER test measures your body's response to over 200 food allergens, assisting your healthcare provider in pinpointing specific food sensitivities. This can lead to tailored dietary and lifestyle adjustments that significantly improve your health.
Notably, more than one test can be tested for ultimate results.
Gluten Assessment
Addressing a range of food sensitivities and allergies, gluten often plays a significant role in adverse health effects. The Array 3X by Cyrex Laboratories stands out as an example of an essential diagnostic laboratory resource for pinpointing gluten-related health issues.
A blood test identifies various conditions, including wheat reactivity, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and celiac disease, providing critical data for customizing diet and treatment plans.
Through this blood testing, it responds to the increasing awareness of food sensitivities, especially to gluten, enhancing the well-being of those impacted.
Gut Health
In the realm of gut health care, at-home tests can be vital to gaining a comprehensive understanding of one's normal digestive function and microbiome health.
Among these tests, the GI Effects Comprehensive Profile by GENOVA DIAGNOSTICS stands out for its thorough analysis of digestive health, intestinal inflammation, and microbiome diversity over three days, aiming to reveal underlying gut health concerns and potentially a specific disease.
Similarly, the GI-MAP test by DIAGNOSTIC SOLUTIONS utilizes qPCR technology to provide an extensive evaluation of the gut's inhabitants, including parasites, bacteria, and fungi, pinpointing specific disturbances in the gut ecosystem.
Additionally, testing the Parasitology Profile by DOCTOR's DATA, testing which requires a three-day sample collection identifies parasites that may be causing chronic gastrointestinal distress symptoms.
Hormones
What's more, hormonal tests can collectively empower individuals and healthcare providers with the knowledge to manage and optimize hormonal health effectively.
Hormone testing through the DUTCH Plus™, a lab test offered by Precision Analytical, utilizes urine and saliva samples for a comprehensive analysis of your body's hormonal balance. This detailed examination includes assessing sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites and testing the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR), providing insights into normal hormonal function and its impact on overall health.
The DUTCH Cycle Mapping™ Plus extends this analysis across the menstrual cycle, measuring hormones like estrogen and progesterone alongside their metabolites and CAR. This approach is particularly beneficial for identifying underlying causes of fertility issues, PCOS, and cyclic symptoms, offering a window into what affects the body's normal stress response and hormonal resilience.
Neuro Assessment
Neurological assessments are crucial blood tests for diagnosing and managing neurological and autoimmune diseases. The Expanded Neurological Autoimmune Reactivity Screen (Array 7X) by Cyrex Laboratories is an essential serum test for detecting neuro-autoimmunity.
These blood tests identify antibodies against neural tissues, aiding in assessing autoimmune severity and tracking treatment progress necessary for personalized care in neuro-autoimmune conditions.
Genetics
Genetic testing can then explore your DNA to uncover inherited characteristics, possible health concerns, and tailored approaches for achieving optimal wellness.
The TruAge Complete Collection by TRUDIAGNOSTIC uses measurements from a blood spot to analyze and compare data on your biological versus chronological age, providing accurate insights into a person and overall health.
Furthermore, the 3X4 Genetics Test + Blueprint Report, through a simple swab, examines your genetics to offer health and lifestyle recommendations.
Incorporating these tests offers a personalized wellness approach, meanwhile considering your genetic uniqueness.
À La Carte Lab Work
Lastly, I offer the flexibility to customize your health journey with À La Carte Lab Work.
Access Med Labs, among others, provide tailored diagnostic services. These include the CBC with Differential to pinpoint blood disorders and the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel for insights into metabolic functions and organ health.
