What is functional lab testing?
“Functional lab testing is a broad term used for testing that examines different aspects of health and body function. Depending on what we’re investigating, this can include traditional bloodwork as well as specialized testing involving hormones, nutrients, digestion, food reactions and other areas.”

“Regular bloodwork and specialized functional testing aren’t necessarily competing approaches. I use both when appropriate. Traditional bloodwork through Labcorp or Quest may provide exactly the information we need, while certain questions may call for specialized testing.”

“Some traditional testing through Labcorp or Quest may be eligible for insurance coverage depending on the test and your individual insurance plan. Coverage varies, so it should always be verified for your specific situation.”
