Functional lab work is a comprehensive approach to diagnostic testing that evaluates the body as an interconnected system rather than a collection of isolated values. Unlike conventional blood panels that flag only extreme abnormalities, functional testing looks at optimal ranges — identifying subtle deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and inflammatory patterns that conventional medicine often overlooks.
A thorough blood draw is scheduled and processed through our contracted lab. Results are reviewed against functional reference ranges — not just conventional normal/abnormal markers — to identify patterns that may be contributing to your symptoms. Findings are then used to build a personalized health plan addressing root causes through nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle support.
At your initial consultation, we review your health history and current symptoms to determine which panels are most relevant for you. Blood is drawn on-site or at a nearby lab location. Results are typically available within 5–10 business days and are reviewed with you in a follow-up appointment. You will leave with a clear picture of what your body needs and a concrete plan to address it.

How is this different from labs my doctor already ran?
Standard labs check for disease — functional labs check for optimal health. We look at a broader range of markers and evaluate them against tighter reference ranges, often uncovering imbalances that conventional results miss entirely.
Will my insurance cover functional lab work?
Lab services are billed through HealthLab (Northwestern Medicine), which processes through most major insurances. We recommend confirming your coverage prior to your appointment.
How often should I repeat lab work?
For most clients, a comprehensive draw every 6–12 months is sufficient to track progress. If you are actively addressing a specific imbalance, more frequent follow-ups may be recommended.
Do I need to fast before my appointment?
Fasting requirements depend on the specific panels ordered. You will receive detailed preparation instructions after your consultation and before your draw date.
