Standard blood panels tell you if something has already gone wrong. Functional tests tell you how your body is actually performing, long before problems become diagnosable. These three tests give us a window into cellular health, nutrient status, energy production, and metabolic function.
Most people have had a standard annual blood test. What those panels check is whether something has already gone wrong, whether a number is too high or too low to be considered healthy. What they don't capture is how your body is actually performing day to day: whether your cells are generating energy efficiently, whether you have the nutrients your body needs to run its processes, or whether something is quietly interfering with how you feel.
Functional testing fills that gap. It's the difference between knowing your car has fuel and knowing whether the engine is actually burning it efficiently, and whether there's something clogging the system you haven't found yet.
The three tests below build on each other. We start with OAT, the clearest window into how your body's internal processes are running, and expand from there based on what you need.
Every time your body runs a process, digesting food, producing energy, making hormones, clearing waste, it leaves traces behind. The OAT reads those traces in your urine and tells us how well those processes are actually working. Not whether your numbers are in range, but whether your body's machinery is running efficiently or struggling behind the scenes.
Think of it as a performance report for your cells. You'll see whether your body is generating energy well or hitting bottlenecks, whether it has the vitamins and raw materials it needs to function, whether there's excess oxidative stress wearing things down, and whether yeast or bacteria in your gut are producing compounds that interfere with how you feel.
Fatigue, brain fog, low mood, and poor recovery often trace back to cellular energy production. The OAT reveals those inefficiencies directly, not through symptoms, but through the metabolic evidence your body leaves behind.
Metabolomix covers everything the OAT does, and then asks a deeper question: does your body actually have what it needs to do all of this well? Your body runs on raw materials, amino acids to build neurotransmitters and repair tissue, antioxidants to protect cells from damage, fatty acids for brain function and inflammation control, minerals to activate hundreds of daily processes. When those are missing or out of balance, the whole system underperforms.
If the OAT is a performance report, Metabolomix adds an inventory check. Are the shelves stocked? What's running low? Where are the gaps that are quietly limiting what your body can do?
Anyone dealing with persistent fatigue, mood issues, poor recovery, or immune challenges who wants a more complete nutritional map alongside the metabolic picture.
OAT tells us how the engine is running. Metabolomix adds whether it has the right fuel and materials to run well.
NutrEval covers everything Metabolomix does, and adds one more critical layer: what might be actively getting in the way. Heavy metals and environmental toxins, things we absorb from food, water, air, and everyday products, can quietly interfere with energy production, hormonal balance, brain function, and detoxification. Most people have no idea they're carrying a significant toxic load because there are no obvious symptoms, just a general sense that things aren't quite right.
NutrEval gives us the most complete picture available: how well your body is running, what it's missing, and what it's fighting against. It's the test we reach for when the picture is complex, when multiple systems seem involved, or when someone has already tried a lot of things without lasting results.
Complex, multi-system presentations where we need the fullest possible picture before building a protocol. Also valuable when previous interventions haven't moved the needle as expected, NutrEval often reveals what was being missed.
Metabolomix shows what's missing. NutrEval adds what might be actively interfering, toxins, heavy metals, and deeper fatty acid imbalances.

Once you have your results, I translate them into plain language and build a personalized protocol around them. Two ways to work together depending on how much support you want.
