Here are some tests I may suggest to expand our information about your case.
- Hormone Testing – blood test – may be used in menopause, PMS, fibroids, PCOS, fatigue, fertility
- Celiac Disease Testing / Gluten Sensitivity Testing – blood testing
- 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
- Further testing – ND’s can test for more information for diagnosis, checking for deficiencies – I go over all testing in detail with the patient
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.
