Functional tests
Special tests for accurate information
Functional Testing
Functional tests are advanced diagnostic tools currently performed in specialized laboratories abroad.
These unique tests provide in-depth insights that are often unavailable through standard health insurance providers and are used by physicians and naturopaths worldwide to uncover underlying imbalances.
All tests are performed in the comfort of your home, without unnecessary stress, and are shipped via express courier for international lab analysis.
GI MAP stool test
This is a stool test (self-administered at home, simple to perform) that analyzes the DNA of microorganisms using qPCR technology—similar to the one used in COVID-19 testing.
This highly accurate and sensitive method detects pathogens such as bacteria (e.g., Helicobacter pylori, Klebsiella, Streptococcus), parasites (e.g., Candida yeast), and viruses from a single stool sample.
The test also assesses leaky gut (zonulin levels), irritable bowel syndrome, microbial imbalance (dysbiosis), gluten sensitivity, and the digestion of proteins and fats, among other parameters.
Organic Acid Urine Test OAT
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a non-invasive urine test performed at home.
It evaluates over 70 markers, including:
-
Overgrowth of yeast and Candida
-
Bacterial overgrowth such as Clostridia, which is linked to behavioral issues and autism
-
Levels of specific vitamins
-
Neurotransmitter activity
-
Methylation function—related to cellular respiration and energy production (Krebs cycle)
-
Oxalates—associated with pain and kidney stones
-
Metabolism of folic acid, fats, and proteins
-
Indicators of toxic overload in the body
Hair Elements Hair Testing for Heavy Metals and Minerals
The Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) is a non-invasive test performed at home.
This test detects toxic elements, which tend to concentrate in hair at levels 200–300 times higher than in blood or urine.
It analyzes around 40 elements and identifies toxins such as aluminum, cadmium, lead, and mercury. The CDC recognizes hair mercury levels as an indicator of exposure to toxic methylmercury from fish. In children with neurological conditions such as ADHD and autism, the body often has impaired detoxification processes, leading to the accumulation of harmful metals that may continue to affect the nervous system long-term—even if the child is no longer exposed (sources of exposure may include cookware, tuna, or even vaccines).
Additionally, the test assesses deficiencies and excesses of essential minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, iodine, and magnesium.
IgG Food Allergy Test with Candida and Yeast
Food Sensitivity Test – Only 5 Drops of Blood!
Food sensitivities are often referred to as “delayed allergies” because symptoms don’t always appear immediately after consuming a certain food. Instead, they may show up hours or even days later—sometimes as brain fog, skin rashes, or digestive discomfort—and in some cases, no clear symptoms at all.
That’s why if you suspect a sensitivity to a specific food, this test can be a helpful tool.
Even if you've been tested for celiac disease and the results were negative, you may still have a delayed immune response to gluten. This test detects IgG antibodies (linked to delayed sensitivities), not the IgE antibodies typically involved in classic food allergies.
