Functional Lab testing for fertility 

Conventional testing is very helpful but tends to isolate the reproductive system. The evidence tells us that our body systems don’t work in isolation. Reproductive functionality is one of the lowest priorities in our body, meaning that if another area of your body requires extra resources, fertility health will be the first one suffering.

Therefore, to customize your unique health strategy plan we need to gather data. Using functional fertility testing will allow you to gain more insight into your health, know how to work with your body to improve reproductive functionality, egg & sperm quality.

I offer two different mini packages- one for hormone health and one for gut health.

DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones)

What is the DUTCH hormone test?

This advanced hormone test offers the most extensive profile of sex and adrenal steroid hormones, along with their all-important metabolites. The daily (diurnal) pattern of free cortisol pattern, along with melatonin is included. DUTCH also includes Neurotransmitter, Metabolites, and Nutritional Organic Acids, as well as the 8-OHdG (Oxidative Stress) marker. This unique combination of clinical information is not available by any other testing method. This is an at-home urine test that will be sent to your home to complete.

How does it work? 

1. After you sign up for the DUTCH-Hormone mini package, you will be invited to set up a free 20-minute strategy session to review how and when to complete the test.
2. I will order the DUTCH test to be sent straight to your doorstep within 7 business days.
3. You will take the test in the privacy of your home as per instructions and send it back to the lab with a prepaid shipping label.
4. As soon as your lab results are in, we will set up a 1-hour lab review session to discuss your results. I will provide a customized plan for you with nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement suggestions based on your results.

*Please, allow about one month from the time you send in your test sample to the time we have our consult.

GI-MAP Test (The Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus)

What is the GI-MAP test?

The GI-MAP is a comprehensive stool test that provides us with a clear look into your gut’s microbiome. It is the first and only stool test in the world to be running full quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) on multiple GI targets, including pathogenic and opportunistic bacteria, worms, yeasts, parasites, and comprehensive antibiotic-resistant genes, alongside intestinal health, digestive, and immune markers. This can help us to identify the root cause of issues such as digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.
