Functional Medicine
Dr. Kate can help you navigate what test(s) would best suite your health needs. Below are brief descriptions of the different lab options as well as links to their respective websites for more information!
Don't want to do any labs? No problem! Dr. Kate utilizes muscle testing to explore underlying infections and toxins so that you can get started on healing your body without looking at labs.
Blood Labs: Blood labs through Quest Diagnostics. Dr. Kate can customize specific blood draws for you to see what is going on underneath the surface. This can include looking at your immune system, liver markers, inflammation markers, Vitamin D levels and much more.
DUTCH Testing: This is the gold standard for hormone testing. This will measure hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone as well as your stress hormone cortisol throughout the day. You will also see the various pathways these hormones travel through and how they are metabolized out of the body.
OATS: Organic acids are products of the body’s metabolic pathways. Evaluation of these downstream metabolites from various metabolic pathways provides insight into important areas related to gut health, mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter status, indicators of detoxification and macronutrient breakdown and nutritional status. This makes organic acid testing a valuable tool to assess the functional need for essential nutrients, diet modification, antioxidant protection, detoxification, and other therapies. The Organic Acids Test (OAT) provides a comprehensive nutritional and metabolic snapshot of an individual’s overall health. The OAT measures 76 organic acids from one easy to collect urine sample.
Vibrant: Vibrant offers a wide range of testing including a stool sample to analyze different gut infections and a total tox test that goes in depth into mold, environmental toxins and heavy metals.
HTMA: This stands for a Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis test. This is a great test that looks at all of your mineral levels as well as your heavy metals.
KBMO: KBMO is one of the leaders when it comes to food sensitivity testing. This comprehensive test looks at what foods are creating an inflammatory IgG response in your body so you can eliminate them from your diet, while you work on healing your gut.

“Everyone I have met at Darcy Wellness has been kind, caring and compassionate…”
Absolutely wonderful! Darcy wellness offers a variety of services and from the moment I walked into Darcy Wellness I felt calm, relaxed and taken care of. I have been going to Darcy for a little over two years for acupuncture, chiropractor care and therapy, and all of these modalities have been life changing for me in dealing with chronic pain from back surgery, migraines and life in general. Everyone I have met at Darcy Wellness has been kind, caring and compassionate which for me is extremely important.
