Lab Testing: Personalized Data to Restore Your Health
Labs testing provides personalized health insights, with results to guide your wellness plan.
Data-Driven Naturopathic Care
At Restoring Health, we don’t guess—we test, so we can create treatment plans based on real data. This brings clarity, speeds up progress —whether it’s chronic skin issues, digestive symptoms, fatigue, or hormonal imbalances.
Types of Testing
Serum (Blood) Testing:
Serum tests provide insights into nutrient status, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and organ health. They help guide personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations.
Common blood tests evaluate:
-
Hormones (thyroid, cortisol, sex hormones)
-
Nutrient levels (B12, iron, vitamin D, magnesium)
-
Immune function (inflammation, autoantibodies)
-
Organ health (liver, kidneys)
-
Metabolism (blood sugar, lipids)
An initial naturopathic consultation is required to determine which tests are appropriate.

These tests are selected based on your health review and interpreted alongside your symptoms to support more effective, targeted recommendations.

Examples of Functional Tests
GI-MAP (Stool Test): Evaluates gut health, microbiome balance, digestion, and markers of inflammation that may affect skin, energy, immunity, and hormone function.
Organic Acids Test (OAT, Urine Test): Assesses nutrient status, detoxification pathways, metabolism, and gut microbial balance to uncover root causes of fatigue, skin concerns, digestive issues, and hormonal imbalances.
DUTCH Test (Hormone Test): Provides a detailed view of hormone levels and metabolism, including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and melatonin, helping guide personalized strategies for skin, energy, mood, and hormonal support.
Important: These tests do not diagnose disease and are interpreted as part of a comprehensive naturopathic assessment.
