The four families of functional labs

Nearly everything we order falls into one of these four buckets.

  • Metabolic & cardiometabolic: fasting insulin, HbA1c, LDL-p, ApoB, hs-CRP
  • Hormonal: full thyroid, sex hormones, cortisol rhythm, DHEA-S
  • Toxin & exposure: heavy metals, mycotoxins, environmental markers
  • Gut & inflammation: GI-MAP, zonulin, food sensitivity, calprotectin

Functional ranges vs. conventional ranges

A TSH of 3.9 is "normal." It is also strongly correlated with daytime fatigue. A ferritin of 35 is "normal." It is also the #1 cause of hair thinning and endurance collapse in women 30–50. Functional ranges are narrower — and built on how healthy people actually perform.

Where to get drawn in Utah

Any Utah LabCorp location accepts our orders walk-in. Evexia mail-in kits work for patients across the state who prefer testing from home. Quest is available when insurance routing requires it.

Local authority

Our clinic has ordered more than 2,000 functional lab panels for Utah patients. Dr. Thomas personally reviews every Root Cause Advanced panel.
