Labs and Interpretation

In addition to conventional laboratory testing recommendations and thorough interpretation, Dr Cory offers uniquely informative functional laboratory testing- such as Adrenal Stress panels, Comprehensive Digestive Analysis, Food Allergy testing, Hormone panels and Heavy Metal testing. These tests give insight into the
functioning of your specific organs and systems, rather than simply noting if disease is present or not. As a general rule, cost to the patient is what we get charged from the lab+$25 interpretation and handling fee. This allows us to get the information we need at a resonable cost to you.

Food Allergy Panel and Interpretation

Includes a test kit that requires only a finger stick, so is great for kids.

Adrenal Stress Index and Interpretation

Includes a test kit that requires 4 saliva samples taken throughout the day to access your adrenal gland function. Stress can greatly impact our adrenal glands, which are responsible for the production of sex hormones, cortisol and many other chemical messengers that help us to have a healthy stress response, effect mood and sleep, decrease inflammation, support immune function and most importantly, provide us with balanced energy. This test can be very helpful in evaluating any imbalanced rhythms.

Heavy Metals Analysis

A non-invasive urine or stool test kit to serve as a tool to access if heavy metal toxicity may be an issue for you

Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis and Interpretation

Proper digestion is the key to optimal health. This test gives critical info to evaluate sources of digestive symptoms related to irritable/inflammatory bowel syndrome, indigestion, problematic bacteria, yeast or parasites, maldigestion, colitis, diverticulitis, constipation, diarrhea, excessive gas and bloating, and gut pain.

Comprehensive Parasitology and Interpretation

This is a thorough evaluation of good bacteria, bad bacteria, yeast and parasites that are in the gut. The proper balance of good bacteria and/or the presence of bad critters in the intestines can greatly influence digestion, and symptoms of imbalance can extend out to other parts of the body like skin, joints energy and immune function. Includes 30-minute post-test consultation with Dr Cory.

Review of Conventional Labs/Naturopathic Second Opinion

Oftentimes lab values can be within the normal range, but people can still feel un-well. Having evaluated hundreds of conventional lab reports with her patients, Dr Cory has found many nuances in conventional lab testing, and often imbalances and the beginnings of disease may be present, even if the numbers are not in the red zone.
