About Laboratory Testing

Functional lab testing provides the most comprehensive picture of your child's biological landscape, and is one of the most powerful tools available for understanding what may be happening beneath the surface of your child's behavior, focus, and daily functioning.
All tests are completed from the comfort of home. We manage the entire process, from ordering and delivery to guiding your family through simple sample collection and helping you understand what the results mean.

About Our Labs

We work with two internationally recognized laboratories — Vibrant Wellness (USA) and Nordic Laboratories (Denmark) — who go well beyond standard screenings to provide detailed insight into the biological patterns that are often overlooked in conventional care.

Available Lab Tests

Below is a full list of the tests available from Vibrant Wellness and Nordic Laboratories. Only a few tests will be recommended based on careful assessment during your intake consulation.

Vibrant Wellness Tests, USA

1. Organic Acid Test
The OAT is often the best first step. This urine test measures over 70 biochemical markers that show how your child’s body is functioning at a cellular level. It provides insight into:
  • Gut Health – Yeast (Candida) and bacterial overgrowth
  • Nutrient Status – B-vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids
  • Energy Production – mitochondrial function and oxidative stress
  • Detoxification – how effectively toxins are cleared
2. Environmental Toxin Test
Children are exposed to chemicals every day through food, water, air, and household products. This urine test detects harmful exposures such as:
  • Pesticides and herbicides
  • Plastics and industrial chemicals (BPA, phthalates)
  • Mold toxins (mycotoxins) from damp buildings
  • Solvents and pollutants
3. Gut Zoomer (Comprehensive Gut Microbiome Test)
The gut is central not only to digestion but also to the immune system and brain. This stool test provides a detailed picture of:
  • Microbial Balance – healthy vs. harmful bacteria, yeast, parasites
  • Digestive Function – enzyme activity, nutrient absorption, fat breakdown
  • Inflammation and Immunity – markers of gut irritation or immune overactivation
  • Leaky Gut (intestinal permeability) – when the gut lining becomes too porous, allowing food particles and toxins into the bloodstream, driving inflammation and neurological effects
4. Hormone Zoomer
This test is especially valuable for mothers of children with special needs, who often live in a constant state of stress and exhaustion. Hormonal imbalances can contribute to fatigue, poor sleep, irritability, and difficulty coping with daily demands.

Hormones are the body’s communication system, regulating sleep, energy, mood, and growth. The Hormone Zoomer measures key hormones and neurotransmitters to identify where that system may be out of balance. It provides insight into:
  • Stress Hormones – cortisol and DHEA levels showing how the body handles stress
  • Sex Hormones – estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone balance
  • Sleep Regulation – melatonin and related pathways
  • Mood & Motivation – neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine
5. Neurotransmitter Zoomer
Neurotransmitters are brain chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, GABA, and glutamate that regulate mood, focus, sleep, and behavior. This urine test can be valuable in complex cases, especially in older children, teenagers, or adults with:
  • Severe anxiety, depression, or mood instability
  • Bipolar disorder or schizophrenia
  • ADHD not responding to typical interventions
  • Aggression or treatment-resistant behavioral issues
6. Heavy Metal Test
This test helps determine whether the body is burdened with substances such as lead, mercury, or arsenic, which can accumulate and interfere with normal biological functions. Even low-level, long-term exposure to certain metals, such as cadmium or nickel, can disrupt the immune system and cause fatigue, headaches, poor focus, or digestive issues — often without obvious symptoms.

A non-invasive and accurate urine test assesses both recent and ongoing exposure to 20 different heavy metals. The results help to:
  • Identify possible causes of unexplained symptoms (fatigue, brain fog, joint pain)
  • Monitor the effectiveness of detoxification or chelation therapies
  • Detect early signs of liver or kidney overload
  • Assess environmental or occupational exposure risks

Nordic Laboratories Tests, Denmark

1. Organic Acid Test
The OAT is often the best first step. This urine test measures over 70 biochemical markers that show how your child’s body is functioning at a cellular level. It provides insight into:
  • Gut Health – Yeast (Candida) and bacterial overgrowth
  • Nutrient Status – B-vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids
  • Energy Production – mitochondrial function and oxidative stress
  • Detoxification – how effectively toxins are cleared
2. ENVIROtox (ToxDetect+ OAT + Glyphosate)
This test provides a comprehensive metabolic overview of overall health. It analyzes over 70 organic acid markers while also assessing exposure to environmental chemical toxins. It offers insight particularly into the following areas:
  • Gut health – precise evaluation of yeast overgrowth (including Candida) and bacterial imbalances
  • Metabolic function – how the body processes nutrients and produces energy
  • Detoxification capacity – how efficiently the body eliminates toxins
  • Chemical exposure – screening of 172 non-metal toxic chemicals, including organophosphate pesticides, phthalates, benzene and xylene, vinyl chloride and acrylonitrile, pyrethroid insecticides, acrylamide, perchlorate, ethylene oxide, diphenyl phosphate, and others
3. GI-MAP Plus Zonulin
The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive assessment of the gut microbiome using a single stool sample. It focuses on identifying microbes that may disrupt normal microbial balance and contribute to gastrointestinal symptoms or systemic health issues. The test evaluates a broad panel of microbial targets, along with immune and digestive markers. It uses advanced qPCR technology, allowing precise detection of parasites, bacteria, fungi, and other organisms by targeting their specific DNA. The panel also includes zonulin, a key biomarker of intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Elevated zonulin levels have been associated with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, and other gastrointestinal and systemic conditions. This test may be helpful in cases involving:
  • Gut dysbiosis
  • Digestive symptoms, diarrhea, and gastrointestinal inflammation
  • Immune dysfunction
  • Increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut)
  • Suspected bacterial, parasitic, or viral infections
  • Celiac disease or gluten sensitivity
  • Detection of antibiotic-resistant bacteria
4. MycoTOX Profile
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds produced by mold, commonly found in food and indoor environments. Exposure occurs mainly through contaminated foods and airborne inhalation. Mold thrives in warm, damp environments and can grow inside walls, insulation, and ceilings. Mycotoxins are heat-resistant and may persist in the body. Elevated mycotoxin burden may present with:
  • Neurological and cognitive symptoms – headaches, dizziness, vertigo, blurred vision, difficulty concentrating, memory issues, confusion, irritability, seizures
  • Digestive and metabolic symptoms – nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, irritable bowel symptoms, loss of appetite, food sensitivities and allergies
  • Immune, allergic, and respiratory symptoms – allergic rhinitis, asthma, breathing difficulties, sore throat, recurrent infections, inflammatory conditions
  • Systemic symptoms – fatigue, fever, chronic pain, fibromyalgia, hormonal imbalances (e.g. thyroid dysfunction), balance problems, fertility issues
5. Hair Elements Analysis
Hair Elements Analysis is a non-invasive test that provides insight into exposure to toxic metals and the longer-term balance of essential minerals using a small hair sample. Because hair acts as an excretory tissue, toxic elements often concentrate in hair at higher levels than in blood or urine. This makes the test useful for identifying exposure to metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, and cadmium. The test helps assess:
  • Toxic metal burden
  • Mineral balance and ratios
  • Long-term detoxification patterns
6. IgG Food Sensitivity Test with Candida & Yeast (DBS)
IgG (immunoglobulin G) testing helps identify delayed food sensitivities that may contribute to long-term health issues, particularly affecting digestion, immune function, the nervous system, and inflammatory conditions. The results support a targeted elimination diet. Unlike IgE food allergies, which trigger immediate reactions, IgG-mediated food sensitivities are delayed, with symptoms appearing hours to days after consumption. This often makes identifying problematic foods difficult without testing. The test also includes assessment of Candida. When overgrown, Candida can disrupt the intestinal lining, contribute to increased intestinal permeability (leaky gut), produce toxins, and drive chronic immune activation. The risk of Candida overgrowth is higher after antibiotic use, hormonal contraceptives, chemotherapy, or corticosteroid treatment. This test helps identify:
  • Delayed food sensitivities
  • Diet-related immune burden
  • Detect early signs of liver or kidney overload
  • Gut imbalance associated with Candida
7. Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profile
The Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profile provides insight into brain chemistry and neurotransmitter balance, including how key neurotransmitters are produced, broken down, and regulated in the body. In addition to measuring core neurotransmitters (such as serotonin, dopamine, GABA, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and glutamate), this profile also evaluates metabolites and precursor amino acids. These markers help reveal whether neurotransmitters are being broken down too quickly or not produced efficiently. This test can be useful in cases involving:
  • Mood changes, anxiety, depression, or irritability
  • Attention, focus, and behavioral regulation difficulties
  • Sleep disturbances and stress response issues
  • Fatigue, low motivation, or overstimulation
8. Comprehensive Hormone Profile
The Comprehensive Hormone Profile is an ideal baseline test for assessing male and female hormonal balance. This non-invasive saliva test requires four small samples collected throughout the day to evaluate sex hormones as well as daily cortisol rhythm. By measuring both hormone levels and cortisol patterns, the test provides insight into how the body responds to stress, aging, and hormonal change. It is commonly used by individuals experiencing symptoms related to fatigue, sleep, mood, metabolism, and stress regulation. The test may be helpful for:
  • Women experiencing hormonal changes – including PMS, perimenopause, menopause, hot flashes, night sweats, irregular cycles, breast tenderness, acne, increased facial or body hair, or gynecological concerns such as fibroids
  • Men with signs of hormonal imbalance – such as reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, low stamina, mood changes, reduced muscle mass, metabolic issues, or prostate concerns
  • Men or women with systemic symptoms – including weight gain, blood sugar imbalance, elevated cholesterol, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety or depression, chronic stress, or reduced resilience.
9. Fertility & Hormonal Balance Profile
This profile assesses key hormones involved in ovulation, implantation, and early pregnancy, including sex hormones, stress hormones, and thyroid markers. Testing is usually done between days 19–21 of the menstrual cycle, when progesterone levels should support implantation. The test helps identify common hormonal patterns that may interfere with fertility, such as:
  • Low ovarian function or age-related hormonal changes
  • Insufficient progesterone during the luteal phase
  • PCOS and ovulation irregularities
  • Thyroid imbalances, including autoimmune thyroid conditions
  • Chronic stress, which can disrupt hormonal signaling and cycle regulation
10. Drinking Water Analysis
Drinking water can be a significant source of exposure to toxic elements, particularly in areas with naturally elevated levels or older plumbing systems. Elements such as arsenic and lead are of particular concern due to their potential impact on health. This analysis helps assess:
  • Toxic elements in drinking water – including arsenic, lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, chromium, copper, nickel, uranium, zinc, and others
  • Contamination from plumbing systems – metals that may leach into water from aging pipes or household plumbing
  • Water pH – acidic water can increase corrosion and the release of metals such as lead and copper
11. Omega-3 Index - Complete Test (Fatty Acid)
The Omega-3 Index Complete Test measures the full fatty acid profile in the blood, providing detailed insight into fatty acid balance, inflammation pathways, and dietary fat quality at the cellular level. This test measures:
  • Omega-3 Index Percentage of EPA and DHA in red blood cell membranes, reflecting long-term omega-3 status
  • Omega-6 : Omega-3 Ratio Analysis of 7 omega-6 and 4 omega-3 fatty acids to assess inflammatory balance. Recommended ratio: 3–5 : 1 (omega-6 : omega-3)
  • AA : EPA Ratio Balance between arachidonic acid (AA, omega-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, omega-3), which influence inflammatory signaling, immune responses, and metabolic regulation
  • Trans Fat Index Measures exposure to industrial trans fats from hydrogenated oils. Optimal value: below 1%
  • 24 individual fatty acids Includes EPA, DHA, and specific omega-6 fatty acids used to calculate all indices and ratios and provide deeper insight into dietary patterns and fatty acid metabolism.
12. Grow Baby
Grow Baby is a genetic test for women planning pregnancy or already pregnant. It helps identify how key biological pathways function in the mother and how they influence maternal health, fetal development, and pregnancy outcomes. The test provides actionable insights to support personalised nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies, with the goal of optimising health before conception and during pregnancy — a critical window for lifelong and transgenerational health. Healthy mom → healthy baby → healthy world. This test analyses genetic pathways related to:
  • Lipid metabolism
  • Inflammation
  • Detoxification – Phase I
  • Detoxification – Phase II
  • Methylation
  • Cell signalling
  • Monoamine oxidase metabolism
  • Neurotrophic pathways
  • Progesterone metabolism
  • Insulin sensitivity, secretion, and metabolism
  • Vitamin D requirements
