Advanced Lab Testing
At Vital Glow Wellness we utilize both conventional and functional lab testing to assess, evaluate your medical problems, nutritional status, inflammation, stress level, gut health and microbiome, hormones, and food sensitivities, to get a complete picture of your health status to create a custom plan that provides the best outcomes.
You do not need to be sick or have a medical issue to get evaluated. Your provider is passionate about primary care prevention and screening. Your health is your most valuable asset. Make the investment and decrease your risk of developing disease.
Most Recommended Tests:
Micronutritional Evaluation
What are Micronutrients? Micronutrients include vitamins, minerals, co-factors, amino acids, metabolites, antioxidants, and essential fatty acids. These nutrients are found in small amounts in foods and are essential for human health.
Get tested if the following applies:
Advanced age
Stress, fatigue, depression or anxiety
Diabetes or any Cardiovascular disease
Arthritis
Skin problems
Numbness or tingling in extremities
Weakened immune system or Autoimmune disorders
Digestive disorders with malabsorption (Celiac, Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis), IBS, SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth)
Digestive abnormalities: diarrhea, constipation, excessive bloating
Long-term use of prescription medication
A diet high in processed foods
Intense athletic training
Following a vegetarian diet
Neurological symptoms (impaired memory, confusion, ataxia, loss of balance, tremors)
Stubborn weight gain or Sudden unexplained weight loss
After we receive your test results , if there are abnormalities present we can create a custom treatment plan, including IV nutritional therapy.
Food Sensitivity Testing
What is a food sensitivity? Food Sensitivities are called non-IgE reactions, or type 2, 3, and 4 hypersensitivities. In food sensitivities, food protein antigens will bind to antibodies and form an immune complex, which can evoke systemic immune responses. Symptoms of food sensitivities are often delayed and hard to pinpoint or detect. Many symptoms and underlying health problems can be caused by a food sensitivity.
Joint pain
Migraines
Chronic fatigues
skin rashes/eczema/acne
Diarrhea
Depression/Anxiety
and many more
We collect your blood sample at the clinic and send it to the lab for evaluation of up to 250 foods.
I often highly recommend a food sensitivity test to anyone suffering from any inflammatory symptom and G.I symptoms.

Comprehensive Gut Testing
Gut testing offers a Comprehensive Stool Profile that can reveal important information about the root cause of many common gastrointestinal symptoms such as gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. This stool analysis can tell us a lot about what is happening in your body, from malabsorption, inflammation, bacterial overgrowth, infections; presence of fungus and parasites, and metabolic imbalances.
Why get tested? I always answer this question by emphasizing an unhealthy microbiome can lead to long-term health complications that might seem completely unrelated to other body systems that may be affected. Such as;
The brain. Your gut and your brain are in direct communication 100% of the time through your body’s vagus nerve, which sends messages from the gut to the brain (and vice versa)
Your immune system
Poor sleep
your skin (Psoriasis, acne, eczema)
Hormonal dysfunction
Autoimmune conditions
