The Benefits of Specialized Lab Testing
Do you feel like there are areas of your health that could use some deeper investigation? Unresolved autoimmune issues? Unbalanced hormones? Gut still acting up? If this sounds familiar, we can and WANT to help!
Our physicians at Aspen Integrative Medical Center utilize specialty lab testing, descriptive history taking and whole system care to delve deeply into lingering health issues. We see patients WEEKLY who have received little to no information on cause of their chronic or acute concerns by their other providers. This shouldn’t occur when there are physicians like us out there who enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of healthcare. We are happy to help!
A few of the areas that we often see are overlooked in our patient population and specialty testing that can help:
👉 Autoimmune diseases like IBD, Hashimoto’s, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus: hormone panel, full thyroid panel, inflammatory markers. Specialty labs like Cyrex Array testing which help us figure out WHICH tissues the body is cultivating an autoimmune response to and even which white blood cell response or immune response is prevalent.
👉 Gastrointestinal disorders like IBS, SIBO, reflux, food intolerance, gas and bloating: inflammatory markers, nutrients, hormones. Specialty labs like functional stool testing, microbiome testing and food intolerance testing to get to the root cause.
👉 Hormonal concerns like perimenopause, menopause, painful periods, missing period: hormone panel, inflammatory markers, nutrients, hormonal precursors. Specialty labs like functional stool testing and microbiome analysis to dive into how the body is metabolizing hormones as well as in depth urinary hormone testing to look at hormone break-down from all angles.
There are many more conditions detailed testing could be helpful for!
