What We Do
Transforming lives from within™
Functional Medicine Testing
Specialized Tests to Identify Root Causes
Identifying root causes of illness through specialized functional medicine tests.
Exploring underlying dysfunction, instead of end-result diagnosis only.
Examining underlying processes, rather than treating symptoms alone.
Evaluating & optimizing cellular, hormonal, microbiome, gut, nervous system and musculoskeletal function to achieve wellness.
Using functional medicine tests in combination with regular laboratory tests to understand cellular, organ, and system health status.
What is Functional Medicine Testing?
Functional medicine testing explores the underlying root cause functions and processes of health and disease.
Understanding the underlying root causes and processes of disease helps us understand how to assist the body in creating wellness and overcoming illness by supporting its innate healing capacities and correcting imbalances.
Treating merely symptoms alone often leads to continual manifestations of disease in different forms. For instance, when childhood eczema is not addressed at the root cause, it often turns to asthma in teenage and young adult years, and into arthritis later on in life.
By identifying and addressing root causes, for instance, a chronic infection, immune dysregulation, emotional trauma reaction or food allergies, we are able to help the body heal more deeply reducing the risks for chronic disease later.
We provide both in-house and outsourced diagnostic testing to determine the root causes of each patient’s condition.
We work with leading national laboratories, like Lab Corp and Quest, as well as several functional medicine laboratories nationally and internationally to conduct testing not available through local labs.
We then use the information derived from these tests to design a personalized course of action to achieve wellness and overcome disease.
Learn more below about the different diagnostic functional tests we offer both in-house and through CLIA-certified laboratories.
Autonomic Response Testing (ART)
Autonomic response testing (ART) uses muscle testing to measure the autonomic nervous system (the nervous system that we cannot control). ART aids in finding the root causes of illness, dysfunction, and blockages, and determines the priority order for effective treatments. ART also helps verify an appropriate treatment to restore the body’s self-regulating function to a state of health and homeostasis.
Contact Regulation Thermometry
Regulation thermometry is the next-generation Whole-Body Thermometry measurement device that provides a visible measurement of the Autonomic Nervous System, often the key to the causal factors of many diseases. Thermometry is grounded in the established science of Regulation Thermography which was invented and first commercialized in Germany more than 20 years ago. By measuring the differences in temperatures between the two readings we are able to assess areas that may be blocked or areas that may have increased inflammation, infection, or dysregulation.
Ondamed PEMF Scanning
The power of pulsed magnetic frequencies: Ondamed therapy provides sound frequencies and personalized pulsed electromagnetic frequencies to balance and support the body's various functions, leading to relaxation, pain reduction, and a state of well-being.
Oligoscan Mineral & Metal Scan
The Oligoscan is a technology that measures the number of trace elements and heavy metals in the tissues of your body. Metals and minerals have their own individual signature when exposed to light, and the OligoScan detects them by measuring the light refraction, reflection, and absorption. The test itself takes only a few minutes and involves a quick scan of your hand.
Comprehensive Tickborne testing
When medically necessary, laboratory testing for tickborne infections including Lyme disease, chronic viruses, and other tick borne infections is sent out to laboratories, such as Igenex, Vibrant Wellness, and others that specialize in these infections.
Comprehensive Mold/Mycotoxin Evaluation
Mold and mycotoxin urine testing is referred out to labs such as Great Plains and Vibrant Wellness Laboratories. Our physicians will prescribe you these tests and send you home with a kit or have you purchase one online, when testing is medically necessary.
Comprehensive Hormone Evaluation
Using a combination of urine, blood, and saliva test, we aim to understand the complexity of hormone imbalances and metabolisms.
We may use the Dutch Hormone test which provides insight into the complete assessment of sex and adrenal hormones, their metabolites, phase 1 and phase 2 liver detoxification, and organic acids and nutritional status. It is a great baseline measurement for both men and women with hormonal imbalances who may be interested in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT) or testosterone therapy.
For women, it specifically helps address: menopause, weight gain, fatigue, low libido, premenstrual symptoms (PMS), mood swings, and depression.
For men, it helps address low andropause symptoms such as low testosterone and DHEA levels, fatigue, lack of sex drive, depression, and weight gain.
We also incorporate blood testing through local laboratories and salivary tests for further evaluation and monitoring of hormones.
Complete Nutritional Evaluation
Nutritional panels from functional medicine laboratories such as Spectracell or Geneva or Great Plains may be used to achieve an understanding of the nutritional deficiencies requiring correction.
Comprehensive Toxic Load & Detoxification testing
Several functional medicine labs offer panels to learn about your individual detoxification capacity, your methylation status and patterns, and your general overall toxic load of chemicals, metals, and plastics.
Comprehensive Stool Testing
Often the keys to chronic systemic symptoms and diseases are found in the digestive tract as it houses the immune, endocrine, nervous system and digestive systems. To understand your comprehensive gut assay, including inflammation markers, enzymes, pathogenic infections, and complete microbiome evaluation of your gut, your Holistique provider may refer to Vibrant Wellness Laboratories or The GI Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAP). These state-of-the-art stool tests offer our patients the opportunity to take the test in the privacy of their homes and mail the test to the lab.
Nutragenomics Testing
Testing for genetic SNPs and mutations that affect your cellular metabolism and organ function may be ordered by your provider and referred out to specialized labs for testing.
RGCC testing - Cancer Stem Cells and Sensitivity Testing
Our providers may order comprehensive testing for biomarkers of circulating cancer stem cells and circulating tumor cells and as well as chemo sensitivity, heat sensitivity and natural substance sensitivity testing for your cancer type to determine personalized supportive cancer therapies.
Cancer patients must continue to follow their oncologists if they wish to have supportive cancer therapies at Holistique.
Cancer Screening
Cancer screening is available through the Galleri test for 50 common cancers. Our providers will prescribe this test when necessary.
Cancer patients must continue to follow their oncologists if they wish to have supportive cancer therapies at Holistique.
