Functional Blood Chemistry
THERE IS NO OTHER SCREENING TEST that is more efficient, effective and affordable than a comprehensive blood chemistry panel.
Discover the Metabolic Story
In Your Blood Test
It is truly the ultimate tool in biomedical laboratory sciences to assess your health across multiple systems.
There are two main types of ranges in the field of blood chemistry: a pathological range and a functional range. The pathological range is used to diagnose disease. The functional range is used to assess risk for disease before disease develops. The references that are provided with laboratory test results are referred to as “the pathological range”, because if the test results are out of range, it usually indicates potential for pathology or disease.
“The functional range” is a tighter ranger, a healthier range, and when lab results fall within the patterns of a functional imbalance, strategies such as lifestyle, diet, nutrition, and other non-invasive therapies can be recommended.

Blood Chemistry: Functional Ranges vs Lab Ranges
With functional blood chemistry analysis, your health is evaluated based on what is possible for your body, not what is “normal” for a population struggling with chronic illness. If you’ve been told you’re “fine” but don’t feel well, it may be time to dig deeper and uncover the true story behind your symptoms.
Discover Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis
Did you know that many health complaints and symptoms may be the results of metabolic and nutritional imbalances (patterns)? And that these imbalances can be revealed in your blood test?
- Blood sugar imbalances & insulin resistance
- Functional hypothyroidism (see this blog article)
- Inflammation, Immune & autoimmune reactivity (see this blog article)
- Liver burden & detox need
- Protein malabsorption & hypochlorhydria
- Vitamin deficiencies
- & more!
Comprehensive Bioscreen
New Patient offer
Functional medicine practitioners approach patient management differently than many other medical disciplines. Rather than waiting for a condition to be clinically diagnosable and then warranting a specific medication, in this model our goal is to address the underlying mechanism that is dysfunctional early enough to negate the disease process.
In contrast to giving a specific medication or herbal compound for a specific condition, our goal is to try to fix the system’s core physiological mechanisms and feedback loops for the purpose of resolving the area that is dysfunctional.
Case Review Pattern Analsyis
Make your patterns visible. Functional blood chemistry offers an objective baseline to track the value of your treatment plan over time.
