Common labs completed via Rupa:
Dutch Hormone Testing: A in depth urine metabolite test for hormones. It is currently one of the most advanced functional hormone panels available on the market.
Urinary hormones allow us to understand how your body is metabolizing your estrogens, giving us further understanding of your risk of developing disorders of estrogen dominance and estrogen related cancers.
Cost:
~$350 Dutch Complete (comprehensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites and includes the daily, free cortisol pattern, organic acids, melatonin, and 8-OHdG)
~$450 Dutch Plus (an extensive assessment of sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites. It also assesses the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) and includes the insomnia cortisol sample)
~$650 Dutch Cycle Mapping Plus (a comprehensive analysis of a woman's monthly cycle, including hormone metabolites and the Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR). This helps to identify issues with infertility, PCOS, and other month-long symptoms. This test includes the insomnia cortisol sample)
Food Sensitivity Testing: This panel measures IgA and IgG antibodies to 180 commonly consumed food antigens.
Food sensitivities are responses to certain foods that occur hours to days after they are consumed. Chronic symptoms/conditions/illnesses associated with food sensitivities include and are not limited to: digestive disorders, migraines, mood/attention deficit disorders, weight gain, chronic fatigue, skin disorders, bronchitis and asthma symptoms, autoimmunity, intestinal permeability, abdominal pain, gas, bloating, eczema, joint pain, insomnia, swelling etc. Food Sensitivity testing can be very useful to help prioritize an elimination or rotation diet. Usually removing foods that the body has produced antibodies to will alleviate symptoms, because the source of inflammation is removed.
Cost:
~ $225.00 (This panel measures IgA and IgG antibodies to 84-97 commonly consumed food antigens)
~$350 (This panel measures IgA and IgG antibodies to 180 commonly consumed food antigens)
~ $400 (This panel combines the Food Allergies and Food Sensitivities: 180 commonly consumed food antigens)
Micronutrient Testing: Testing for nutrient insufficiencies is a wonderful way to accelerate your health optimization process.
It is absolutely essential that we have adequate amounts of certain nutrients and minerals in order to carry out all the cellular reactions our body needs thrive. A lack in any one of our essential nutrients can cause distress on our body.
Cost:
~ $469.00 (The NutrEval® FMV evaluates a variety of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and other biomarkers to determine nutritional deficiencies and imbalances)
~ $400.00 (This Micronutrients Panel from Vibrant America is the only test that provides a comprehensive extracellular and intracellular assessment of the levels of the most important vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fatty acids, and amino acids)
~ $250.00 (The Cellular Micronutrient Assay measures the effect of micronutrients on immune function to identify nutrient insufficiencies. This test is designed for pediatric clients above the age of 8)
The Celiac & Nutrition Panel: combines Celiac & Gluten Sensitivity testing, Nutrition, and Anemia panels to analyze a clients health. Great for clients with fatigue, indigestion and bloating.
Cost:
~ $130
GI Map Stool Test/ GI Effects Test/ Comphrensive Stool Analysis : in depth stool test that shows us exactly what is making up your microbiome (bacteria, viruses, parasites, yeasts, and more!)
The gut plays an essential role in functional medicine methodology, making these tests very popular with providers. The tests look at many biomarkers, including those for:
Digestion and absorption levels
Inflammation levels
Presence of parasites and worms
The gut microbiome breakdown
Bacteria including h. Pylori, Campylobacter, Clostridium difficile
Cost:
~ $360
Comprehensive Serum Tests
Includes CBC with diff, CMP, lipid panel, cardiac health markers, full thyroid panel including antibodies and reverse t3, full iron panel including ferritin, full blood glucose panel including fasting insulin, vitamin D, vitamin B12, folate, and optional add on of additional hormones (DHEA-s, prolactin, testosterone, estradiol, FSH, LH, and more).
Cost:
~ $200-400 (price is based off how many different serum labs are added on and ordered)
GPL Mycotox: urine collection that tests for various mold species.
MycoTOX screens for eleven different mycotoxins, from 40 species of mold, in one urine sample. This is often recommended for client’s with chronic fatigue, asthma, infertility, brain fog, autism, adhd, weight loss difficulty, speech delay and more.
MycoTOX is the most comprehensive and competitively priced mycotoxin test available.
Cost:
~ $300
Organic Acid test: comprehensive metabolic snapshot testing for environmental toxins, vitamins, minerals, mitochondria function, detox pathways, and more.
An organic acids test, often referred to as an OAT Test, is a foundational functional medicine test that is a “metabolic snapshot of a client’s overall health”. It’s commonly ordered for many clients, and is recommended as a baseline test after the initial appointment, especially if the client is dealing with mood disorders, fatigue, digestive complaints, autism, adhd or weight issues.
Cost:
~ $310
Environmental Toxicity Testing:
Every day, we are exposed to hundreds of toxic chemicals and as we have become more exposed we have been confronted with an accelerating rate of chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, infertility, fatigue, anxiety, hormone imbalance, skin problems, chronic sinus issues, obesity, and much more. Assessing for toxins may be an important step in your wellness journey.
The Heavy Metals profile identifies toxicity from 20 of the most common heavy metals. Highly recommended for children with autism, adhd, pans/pandas, infertility, adhd, and more.
GPL-TOX testing shows how many toxic chemicals we are exposed to through products like pharmaceuticals, pesticides, packaged foods, household products, and environmental pollution.
Cost:
~ $150-270
