HTMA evaluates mineral balance at the cellular level to provide insight into metabolic efficiency, stress adaptation, and overall resilience. Minerals play a critical role in thyroid signaling, blood sugar regulation, adrenal function, and mitochondrial energy production. This test can reveal mineral deficiencies, excesses, heavy metal exposure, and long-term stress patterns. Because minerals are foundational to cellular function, restoring balance in this area often creates meaningful improvements in energy, mood, and metabolic stability. 

Standard blood panels can offer significant insight when interpreted through a functional lens. Rather than simply determining whether results fall inside broad conventional reference ranges, we assess markers within optimal ranges to evaluate metabolic trends. This includes blood sugar regulation, thyroid patterns, inflammatory markers, liver and kidney function, and immune balance. Functional blood chemistry helps identify subtle imbalances early, allowing us to intervene before more advanced dysfunction develops.

The MRT (Mediator Release Test) measures your body’s inflammatory response to 176 different foods, additives, and food chemicals. Rather than relying on guesswork elimination diets, this test identifies which foods are triggering immune-mediated inflammation and which foods are well tolerated. By identifying high-reactive, moderate-reactive, and low-reactive foods, we can create a personalized anti-inflammatory nutrition plan designed to calm immune activation, reduce symptom burden, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides a detailed assessment of hormone production, metabolism, and daily cortisol rhythm. It measures sex hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, along with adrenal markers including cortisol and DHEA. Unlike standard blood testing, this panel also evaluates how hormones are being broken down and cleared from the body. It is especially helpful for concerns related to fatigue, mood instability, cycle irregularities, sleep disruption, and weight resistance.

The GI-MAP is a DNA-based stool test that evaluates the health of the gut microbiome and digestive function. It identifies bacterial imbalances, parasites, fungal overgrowth, viral pathogens, and markers of inflammation and immune activity within the gastrointestinal tract. The test also assesses digestive enzyme output and intestinal barrier integrity. Because gut health influences immune function, hormone balance, detoxification, and even neurological health, understanding this ecosystem is often a key step in resolving chronic symptoms.

The Organic Acids Test evaluates metabolic byproducts that reflect how efficiently your body is producing energy and processing nutrients. This test provides insight into mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter balance, detoxification capacity, oxidative stress, and microbial overgrowth in the gut. It can also highlight functional nutrient deficiencies that may not appear on standard blood work. The OAT is particularly useful in complex or long-standing cases where symptoms persist despite foundational lifestyle changes.
