Functional Lab Testing in Bellevue, WA
Access functional lab testing through convenient telehealth appointments from the comfort of your home in Bellevue.
What is Functional Lab Testing?
Comprehensive laboratory testing goes beyond standard panels to evaluate hormone levels, nutrient status, gut health, and more. This data-driven approach helps identify underlying imbalances and track progress.
What to Expect
Functional lab testing goes beyond standard blood work to provide deeper insights into your health. Dr. Sanika will recommend specific tests based on your symptoms and health goals, which may include hormone panels, nutrient assessments, gut health testing, or advanced metabolic markers.
Once results are available, Dr. Sanika will spend time explaining what the data reveals about your health and how different systems in your body are functioning. You will understand not just what is happening, but why.
Test results guide personalized treatment recommendations that address the underlying imbalances revealed by the data. Follow-up testing helps track your progress and adjust protocols as you heal.

However, many Bellevue patients prefer the convenience of telehealth appointments, which are available on Mondays and Thursdays from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM.

How does telehealth work for naturopathic medicine?
Telehealth appointments are conducted via secure video conferencing and are just as comprehensive as in-person visits. Dr. Sanika can review your health history, discuss symptoms, interpret lab results, create personalized treatment plans, and prescribe supplements or botanical medicines.

Can I get lab work done in Bellevue?
Yes! Dr. Sanika works with multiple lab companies with convenient Bellevue locations. Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp both have facilities near Overlake Medical Center. Lab orders are sent electronically, and you can choose the location most convenient for you. Results are reviewed during your follow-up appointment, which can be done via telehealth.
Are functional lab tests covered by insurance?
Some functional tests are covered by insurance, while others may be out-of-pocket. Dr. Sanika will discuss testing options and costs before ordering. Many patients find the detailed insights from functional testing invaluable for their healing journey, even when not covered by insurance.
How is functional testing different from regular lab work?
Functional testing evaluates optimal ranges rather than just identifying disease states. We are looking for patterns and imbalances before they become serious problems. This proactive approach allows us to address issues early and prevent future health concerns.
