Lab Testing
Obtaining a careful and complete history is the bedrock of all clinical assessments however the next step is obtaining accurate, comprehensive and focused laboratory testing.
At LivingWell we offer a very complete suite of lab tests. Hormone therapy and complementary medicine cannot be done without first having some knowledge of where a patient is physiologically. By making available such a broad range of lab testing we can pinpoint areas of concern with great accuracy.
For hormone testing we rely heavily on saliva testing as we feel this is the most accurate way to test circulating hormones. Depending on the test needed we can utilize blood, saliva, urine or hair.
One of the most exciting new testing abilities we have available is actually testing serotonin, GABA, dopamine and other neurotransmitters through a simple urine test. A critical component to many problems are the levels of these neurotransmitter levels in our brain and central nervous system.
Through arrangements with a group of cutting edge labs we can offer some of the most unique and specific testing ever offered. There are very, very few tests that we cannot obtain.
