Unfortunately, mainstream medicine has not caught up to the importance of functional medicine and do not cover these services. I do, however, create superbills that can be submitted for reimbursement.
Conventional labs are typically from blood. While there is a lot we can identify and manage through blood work, there are many biomarkers that are more accurately measured through other means.
The standard labs run through littleRoot ONLY require hair, stool, and urine.
Based on results, we can determine vitamin and mineral levels, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter levels, heavy metal exposure, environmental toxins and pollutants, etc.
If needed, we can obtain serum (blood) labs locally through The Health Spa or a designated lab vendor.
