Gut-Well Comprehensive Stool Analysis

Indigestion? Gas? Bloating? Constipation? Diarrhea? This comprehensive test analyzes markers that indicate how your digestion is working. Absorption, pathogens, overall beneficial bacteria, pancreatic function, and more are evaluated. Distinguish between inflammatory bowel disease and irritable bowel syndrome...and finally get some answers!

Vitamin D Spot

Canada’s general standard of care is that Canadians are likely deficient in Vitamin D and should supplement. But are you supplementing enough? Testing can provide clear direction on how much to supplement with, and for how long

Thyroid Panel

Tired all the time? Brain fog? Chilly all the time? Constipated? Losing hair? An under functioning thyroid can cause all of these symptoms and more. This comprehensive test looks at total thyroid function, including T3, T4, and anti-TPO levels

Hormone Panel - Female

Painful periods, mood swings, acne, fatigue, aches and pains, brain fog, and weight gain are all symptoms of hormone imbalance. This test will give you a comprehensive picture of how your hormones are functioning and guide treatment options to achieve balance...it’s not normal to be incapacitated by pain, depression, or anxiety due to hormone imbalances. Find out what is going on and get the treatment you need

Fatty Acid Profile

Virtually every in our bodies has a phospholipid membrane. Fatty acids play a crucial role in membrane permeability and flexibility. Understanding your fatty acid status can help you optimize your cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of fatal cardiovascular events

Cortisol Levels

Cortisol levels play a critical role in how you feel throughout the day. When they’re too high at night, it’s difficult to sleep. Too low in the morning and it’s difficult to get out of bed. Chronic low or high grade stress can alter how your body produces and responds to this important hormone. Testing can help direct treatment for fatigue or anxious symptoms

Adrenal Function

Our adrenal gland function decides how our body responds to stress. Chronic stress can reduce the body’s ability to respond, or paradoxically leave you in a hypersensitive, fight-or-flight state. Both imbalances can lead to increased risk for adverse outcomes to cardiovascular events

Hormone Panel - Male

Fatigue, lethargy, depression, anxiety, and inability to lose weight can all indicate low testosterone levels. This test comprehensively evaluates male hormones, including their interplay with female hormones in the body

Tests 45 genes to provide the ultimate personalized nutritional information

Lab tests are not covered by Alberta Health. Costs vary
