Lab Tests

Below are a list of tests used to expand my information about you.

• Hormone Testing – may use saliva or blood, depending on what is appropriate for the patient – may be used in menopause, PMS, fibroids, PCOS, fatigue, fertility

• Celiac Disease Testing / Gluten Sensitivity Testing – blood testing which may be done through one of two labs depending what we decide

• Parasite testing  / Stool analysis – tests for infectious / pathogenic organisms – tests for digestive competency

• Thyroid Testing  – tests thyroid function and may test for autoimmune antibodies that may be causing disrupted thyroid symptoms

• Vitamin and Mineral Testing – blood tests which may be done through one of two labs depending on our decision together

Lab testing through a naturopathic doctor is not covered by provincial health care plans, however, private insurance companies often cover the cost.  Check with yours, if you have coverage, to be sure.
