5 Key Benefits of At-Home Functional Medicine Lab Testing

  1. Save money by taking the guess work out of your health symptoms

Have you ever gone to Dr. Google with symptoms and convinced yourself it must be condition ‘x’? Then having continued with further quick fixes or down a rabbit hole of online hacks, remedies and buying countless products for condition ‘x’ because it was recommended by someone online,  only to find it did nothing help your symptoms. This is because it was based on a guess. You have just wasted a lot of time, money and effort. Right?

This is where lab testing shines.

With a functional lab test you take a biochemical look at a cellular level, without your own thoughts and beliefs being imposed. Each test is unique and reveals something more.

When the guess work is removed from the equation, data is known and a targeted rebalancing action plan can commence without the waste timed, money and effort.

  1. Uncover the underlying imbalances that are causing your symptoms

Have you ever gone to the Doctor presenting with a symptom or group of symptoms with the hope of getting answers and either:

  • Leave the appointment with a prescription of a medication to make you feel better and mask the symptom?
  • get some blood tests done which you are told are all is ‘normal’ but you still feel something is off?

Functional lab testing uses a slightly different approach, yet is cutting edge science.

Conventional blood tests allow for an expansive reference range as a catchment, The standard reference range is based on the population who are the sickest or the bare minimum a human needs to be before chronic symptoms present themselves.

If a result is either at the very low end of the range or the very high end, it is considered considered to be ‘normal’ by conventional standards.

Functional lab tests are just what the name states: . They test within functional reference range parameters using tissue. These are the optimal ranges based on the healthiest of the population.

Conventional blood tests are performed with the intention of screening for disease. Functional lab tests are performed with the intention of finding deficiencies, toxicities and excesses.

When deficiencies are replenished and toxicities are removed, then the state of balance is achieved and vibrant energy and health is the ultimate reward.

 

  1. No need to make an appointment at the doctors or at the blood collection lab.

An at-home test kit contains everything needed to complete the test in the privacy and safety of your own home.

 

  1. Get on a targeted roadmap to health when you know exactly what imbalances are uncovered with functional lab testing.

When you know what the imbalances are, a targeted road map gets you exactly where you need to. Whilst healing is not always a linear path, lab data provides guided direction in terms of the most effective rebalancing program .

  1. Stay on top of your health and uncover trends before they manifest as symptoms.

Prevention is always better than cure

. Functional testing can uncover trends long before imbalances appear in conventional blood tests and before symptoms manifest.

After having achieved wellness goals or when ready to take your health to the next level, regular functional lab tests are a part of long-term success .
