Advanced laboratory testing is one of the most powerful tools in a functional medicine doctor’s toolbox. These comprehensive tests go beyond standard medical screenings to identify underlying imbalances or dysfunctions in the body—focusing on areas such as hormone levels, gut health, nutrient deficiencies, toxicity, infections, inflammation, and genetic factors.
Advanced or specialty functional medicine testing refers to comprehensive testing that goes beyond standard medical screenings. These tests identify underlying imbalances or dysfunctions in the body, providing a deeper understanding of your unique health status.
This helps us create your personalized Aura Functional Medicine Treatment Plan that addresses the root cause of your health issues, rather than just managing symptoms.
Advanced functional medicine lab testing looks for root causes that you might not intuitively connect to your health condition. For example, in over 90% of the cases we see, we trace the root cause of any illness to gut imbalances seen on comprehensive gut health testing.

I had been feeling terrible for years before finding Dr. Egeland and getting help. She helped me start a health journey that has led to me feeling better than I have since I was a little kid. She was incredibly supportive when I was feeling overwhelmed or impatient with my progress. Every appointment was so worth it.
Functional medicine operates on a holistic model that views the body as interconnected systems, while conventional medicine tends to focus on treating specific symptoms or diseases. As a result, the tests used in functional medicine may not align with the traditional medical model or standard diagnostic criteria.
We use very sophisticated diagnostic tests that uncover these problems and give us real answers. To date, we’ve never had a patient with “all normal” test results. There are always reasons for chronic symptoms and illness!
Since every patient’s plan is personalized, the cost can vary. Please schedule a discovery call to learn more. Some labs are included in the price of the signature Whole Health Transformation Program. We get special pricing on lab tests and pass along the savings to you.
Although we do not bill insurance directly, most patients with Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) can use their cards to pay for lab tests through our office.
We can also provide you with a superbill of services, which can be submitted to your insurance company (excluding Medicaid, Medicare or Kaiser) for possible reimbursement. A very small percentage of our patients have received insurance reimbursement for lab tests, but it varies greatly depending on your plan.
