What Lab Tests Do Naturopaths Use?

Targeted Testing for Deeper Answers

At our clinic, Dr. Marnie uses a comprehensive range of specialized lab tests from both Canadian and U.S.-based laboratories. Depending on your needs, tests may use saliva, serum, blood spot (finger prick), or urine samples to uncover what’s happening beneath the surface.

Types of Lab Tests Offered

🔬 Food Allergy & Sensitivity Testing

No more guesswork with elimination diets.
We use IgG blood testing (via serum or finger poke) to identify foods causing immune reactions. Your report will show:

Severe, moderate, or no reactivity
A personalized elimination plan
Guided reintroduction strategy to support long-term tolerance

Results available in approx. 2 weeks.

💧Organic Acid Testing (OAT)

This urine-based test is a comprehensive snapshot of your metabolic health. It evaluates:

Detoxification pathways
Nutrient deficiencies
Gut microbiome markers
Neurotransmitter byproducts

A highly cost-effective and non-invasive tool for in-depth assessment.

🧬 Genomic & Genetic Profiling

Genetic testing offers insights into your inherited predispositions and tendencies that may impact energy, mood, detox, and nutrient metabolism.
Example: A methylation issue may affect B12 use and neurotransmitter production—something that wouldn’t show in standard blood work.

🩸 Basic Blood Panels: CBC, Ferritin & Chemistry

Foundational bloodwork is key to understanding your overall health.
We partner with Calgary Lab Services to perform:

Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Iron/Ferritin levels
Electrolytes, liver/kidney function, and more

Cost varies depending on the lab requisition.

🧪 Thyroid Serum Panels & Autoimmune Markers

A full thyroid panel can reveal the true state of your thyroid health, including:

TSH, Free T3, Free T4
TPO antibodies for autoimmune screening
Reverse T3 (a non-functional thyroid hormone often overlooked)

⚠️ Heavy Metal & Toxic Element Analysis

Using timed or 24-hour urine collection, we assess your body’s heavy metal burden.
With the help of a provoking agent, we can:

Measure how much metal is stored in tissues (muscle, brain, bone)
Design a detox protocol specific to your results

🌸 Hormone Testing & Fertility Profiles

Using serum and saliva, we analyze your hormonal rhythms in real time.
Timed testing helps identify:

Peak Estrogen, Testosterone, LH, FSH and Progesterone
Cycle irregularities, PMS, hormonal acne, and fertility blocks
Hormone absorption at the tissue level (via saliva)

💩 Stool, Yeast, & Parasitology Testing

Digestion is foundational. If food isn’t the issue, we investigate:

Yeast overgrowth & parasites
Fat, carb, and protein digestion
Probiotic levels & enzyme activity

These tests help pinpoint hidden digestive imbalances often missed in conventional testing.
