LAB TESTING

Common Lab Tests

As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have the ability to requisition a wide variety of laboratory tests. I do not perform blood draws at the clinic, however I will give you a requisition to take to a local LifeLabs where they will perform the test for you and send me the results directly. Results are generally received within 48-72 hours. I will interpret these results and discuss them with you so that you understand what they mean and what’s happening in your body. I use these laboratory tests to determine how the various systems in your body are functioning and how to proceed with treatment. They are also used to track your progress over time and to determine dosing of various vitamins, minerals and other supplements.

Common lab tests that I order include:

· Complete Blood Count (CBC)

· Lipid Panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides)

· Vitamin Panels (Vitamin D, B12, ferritin, etc)
