Naturopathic Lab Testing on Salt Spring Island

Objective data to guide your treatment.

Functional and conventional laboratory testing provides a deeper understanding of your health — from hormones and gut health to infections, heavy metals, mold exposure, nutrition, inflammation, and metabolic function. Testing gives me the objective data I need to build targeted treatment plans.

I order the same bloodwork your medical doctor would — thyroid panels, metabolic markers, nutrient levels — and supplement it with functional testing that goes deeper. When standard labs say everything is 'normal' but you still feel unwell, functional testing often reveals what's been missed.

My approach to testing is strategic, not excessive. Every test I order has a clear clinical purpose: to confirm a diagnosis, identify a root cause, or guide treatment decisions. I'll explain what we're testing for, why it matters, and what the results mean in plain language.

Whether it's food sensitivity testing to resolve persistent gut symptoms, a comprehensive hormone panel to understand your hormonal landscape, or heavy metals testing to investigate unexplained neurological symptoms, the right lab work transforms guesswork into precision medicine.
