Functional Lab Testing in Sammamish, WA

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.
