ALL SPECIALIZED TESTING INCLUDES SAMPLE COLLECTION, LABORATORY FEES & FOLLOW UP
CORTISOL TESTING
Hair cortisol testing is a non-invasive way to assess how your body has been responding to stress over time, rather than capturing just a single moment.
WHY TESTING IS IMPORTANT
Cortisol plays a key role in blood sugar regulation, metabolism, inflammation, sleep, and hormone balance. When cortisol is chronically high — or depleted — the body can shift into protection mode, making weight loss, energy, and overall balance feel harder than they should.
This test looks at patterns over weeks to months, helping us move beyond guesswork and better understand how stress may be influencing your health.
Total Investment $250
(split into two visit: $125 initial & $125 results & wellness plan)
Hair must NOT be washed the day of sample. (Avoid Head & Shoulders, Selsun Blue shampoos). To book, please email with your full name, date of birth, phone number and email address. Once received, I'll follow up with available dates and next steps.
HAIR MINERAL ANALYSIS
Hair Mineral Analysis looks at your body’s mineral balance and toxic metal exposure over time, giving insight that isn’t affected by recent meals, supplements, or day-to-day changes.
WHY TESTING IS IMPORTANT
Unlike blood or urine testing, this non-invasive test reflects patterns over approximately three months, helping us see mineral deficiencies or toxic metals that may be interfering with energy, hormones, metabolism, stress response, and overall well-being.
Why Test Minerals are essential for hormone balance, blood sugar regulation, detoxification, and nervous system function. When key minerals are low—or displaced by toxic metals—the body can struggle, even when you’re “doing everything right.”This test helps us understand why your body may be out of balance so support can be more targeted and effective.

FOOD IgG INTOLERANCE TESTING
Food IgG Intolerance Testing helps identify how your body may be reacting to specific foods over time, rather than immediate allergic reactions.
Unlike food allergies (IgE), which cause rapid symptoms such as hives or breathing difficulties, IgG responses are often delayed and may contribute to ongoing inflammation. These reactions can show up hours or even days later as digestive issues, headaches, fatigue, joint pain, or skin concerns.
This test assesses responses to over 220 foods, offering insight into patterns that may be contributing to chronic symptoms.
Cost $450
Sample collection is a short in-office visit, typically taking just a few minutes. To book, please email with your full name, date of birth, phone number and email address. Once received, I'll follow up with available dates and next steps.

OMEGA 3 TESTING
Discover the Benefits of Omega-3 Testing and unlock the insights into your health by measuring the percentage of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA, DPA, and DHA—a valuable indicator of potential health risks.
WHY TESTING IS IMPORTANT
Elevated blood levels of EPA/DHA omega-3 in adults are linked to a significantly lower risk of psychological distress, depression, cognitive impairment, age-related dementia, specific cancers, and various disorders. The OmegaScore®, (metric backed by studies from the Harvard School of Public Health), serves as a powerful indicator for the risk of sudden cardiac death. Additionally, a high OmegaScore® correlates with reduced risks of "all-cause mortality" and "cognitive deterioration with aging," presented in an easy-to-interpret report.
