Functional Testing Available at EASTND

DUTCH Complete: The DUTCH (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) Complete is an advanced hormone testing tool. It evaluates hormones and hormone metabolites in dried urine samples. This test is particularly useful for providing a comprehensive overview of a patient's hormonal balance, helping in the diagnosis and management of conditions related to hormonal imbalances such as menopause, PCOS, or adrenal disorders.

DUTCH CAR (Cortisol Awakening Response): This test is a specific part of the DUTCH hormone testing series. It focuses on the Cortisol Awakening Response – the change in cortisol levels within the first 30 minutes after awakening. This can be critical in assessing adrenal health, stress response, and can contribute to understanding conditions like chronic fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
 

SpectraCell: SpectraCell is a specialized test that measures the function of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants within white blood cells. Unlike traditional serum testing, SpectraCell provides a more comprehensive view of a patient’s nutritional status over a longer period, helping to identify specific functional deficiencies that might contribute to chronic disease conditions.

Comprehensive Stool Analysis: This test examines stool samples to provide insights into digestive health. It can identify a range of issues such as the presence of pathogens (like bacteria, parasites, or fungi), inflammation, insufficient digestive enzymes, and imbalances in the gut flora. It's essential for diagnosing conditions like IBS, IBD, and SIBO.

Food Sensitivity RMA: This refers to a type of blood testing known as RMA (Radioallergosorbent Test) for identifying food sensitivities or allergies. By measuring the immune system's response to various foods, it can help identify specific foods that may be causing symptoms like digestive issues, skin irritations, or headaches.
 

Dynacare (for Medicare Equivalent): Dynacare is a healthcare solutions provider that offers a range of diagnostic and health assessment services, similar to what might be available through Medicare in the U.S. It includes a variety of tests and screenings, often used for routine health checks or specific diagnostic purposes.
Vitamin D Testing: This test measures the level of Vitamin D in the blood, which is crucial for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being. Deficiencies in Vitamin D can lead to a range of health issues, including osteoporosis, increased risk of infections, and potentially chronic diseases.

Celiac Disease Testing: This involves a series of tests to diagnose Celiac Disease, an autoimmune disorder where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. Tests usually include blood tests for specific antibodies and may be followed by a biopsy of the small intestine.

H.Pylori Testing: Helicobacter pylori testing is used to diagnose infection with the bacterium H. pylori, which can cause peptic ulcers and is a risk factor for gastric cancer. Testing can be done through blood, breath, stool, and sometimes endoscopic biopsy tests.

Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Testing: This test evaluates levels of neurotransmitters in the body, including serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and others. It can be useful for diagnosing and treating disorders related to neurotransmitter imbalances such as depression, anxiety, and ADHD.

Nutrigenomix Genetic Testing: This test analyzes genetic markers related to nutrition and diet. By understanding an individual’s genetic predisposition to nutrient absorption and metabolism, personalized dietary recommendations can be made to optimize health and prevent nutrition-related chronic diseases.

Spectracell Micronutrient Testing: Similar to the SpectraCell test, this focuses specifically on analyzing the levels of various micronutrients within the body’s cells. It helps in identifying deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, crucial for overall health and disease prevention.
 

SIBO Test: Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) testing is used to diagnose an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This is typically done through a breath test, measuring the levels of hydrogen and methane after consuming a sugar solution, indicating bacterial overgrowth.
 

Mycotox Profile: This test screens for the presence of mycotoxins, which are toxic substances produced by certain types of molds. Exposure to mycotoxins can cause a range of health issues, and this test is crucial for identifying exposure and guiding treatment in cases of mold-related illnesses.
