Advanced Testing

What it covers

• Sex hormones — estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA patterns
• Hormone metabolites — how your body is actually processing and clearing hormones
• Cortisol and cortisone rhythm across the day — your stress and adrenal pattern
• Melatonin and organic acid markers tied to sleep, mood, and oxidative stress

Bloodwork shows a single moment. DUTCH shows the pattern — which is often where the answers to fatigue, weight resistance, mood changes, and poor sleep live.

What it covers

• Gut bacteria balance — beneficial and opportunistic organisms
• Pathogens — bacteria, parasites, and yeast that may be driving symptoms
• Digestion and absorption markers — how well you're breaking down food
• Inflammation and immune markers in the gut, including calprotectin and secretory IgA
• Zonulin — a marker associated with intestinal permeability

Bloating, brain fog, skin changes, low mood, and stubborn weight frequently trace back to the gut. GI-MAP gives us a map instead of a guess.

What it covers

• Thyroid, metabolic, lipid, and inflammatory markers beyond standard panels
• Nutrient status — iron, B12, vitamin D, and other cofactors tied to energy
• Blood sugar regulation — fasting insulin and related metabolic markers
• Additional specialty testing ordered only when your history calls for it

Standard labs are read in context of how you feel — not just whether a number falls inside a reference range.
