Functional Testing At Marithyme Naturopathic Clinic

Test. Understand. Optimize.

We offer an extensive range of advanced laboratory tests to help uncover the root causes of chronic symptoms. These evidence-informed assessments provide deeper insight into hormones, thyroid function, environmental toxin exposure, nutrient status, metabolic health, digestion, and immune function—allowing your practitioner to design a precise, personalized treatment plan.

 

Cardiovascular Testing

More comprehensive than standard cholesterol testing.

Assesses:

  • Inflammatory markers
  • Advanced lipid fractionation
  • Oxidative stress
  • Metabolic health factors

Essential for prevention, early identification of risk, and personalized heart health strategies.

 

Cortisol / Adrenal Testing

A multi-point cortisol assessment maps your circadian rhythm and adrenal output.

Helpful for:

  • Stress and burnout
  • Fatigue
  • Sleep disturbances
  • Chronic inflammation
  • Mood changes

 

Heavy Metal Testing (Urine Toxic Metals)

Heavy metals such as mercury, arsenic, cadmium, and lead can affect neurological, hormonal, metabolic, and immune health. This test helps identify both circulating and stored toxic metals, and guides safe detoxification or chelation protocols.

Ideal for:

  • Chronic fatigue
  • Cardiocascular health
  • Thyroid health
  • Brain fog
  • Autoimmune tendencies
  • Suspected toxin exposure.

 

Hormone Testing Options

We offer multiple assessment methods depending on your goals and health history.

Blood Hormone Testing Best for baseline hormone screening and thyroid/metabolic markers.

Urinary Hormone Metabolites (DUTCH Test) Provides detailed information on:

  • Estrogen detox pathways
  • Androgen metabolism
  • Cortisol and adrenal rhythms
  • Methylation markers
  • Ideal for fatigue, PMS/PMDD, perimenopause, PCOS, and chronic stress.

Salivary Hormone Panels Non-invasive sampling to assess bioavailable hormones and diurnal cortisol.

 

Lyme & Co-Infection Testing

Armin Labs offers highly sensitive immunological testing for:

  • Lyme (Borrelia)
  • Babesia
  • Bartonella
  • Ehrlichia
  • Other tick-borne infections

Useful for chronic fatigue, neurological symptoms, unexplained pain, and multi-system illness.

 

Microbiome Stool Analysis

A detailed functional assessment of your digestive health, including:

  • Beneficial & pathogenic bacteria
  • Parasitology
  • Yeast & fungal markers
  • Inflammation (calprotectin, etc.)
  • Digestive enzyme output
  • Short-chain fatty acids
  • Microbiome diversity scores

This testing helps guide personalized gut-healing, probiotic, and immune-support strategies.

 

Mold & Mycotoxin Testing

A urine-based analysis that detects the presence of toxic mold metabolites such as:

  • Aflatoxin
  • Ochratoxin
  • Trichothecenes
  • Gliotoxin

An important tool for patients with chronic sinus issues, inflammation, neurological symptoms, or exposure to water-damaged buildings.

 

Nutrient Status Testing

Evaluates functional levels of:

  • Vitamins
  • Minerals
  • Amino acids
  • Essential fatty acids
  • Antioxidants

Provides a clear understanding of nutrient deficiencies contributing to fatigue, mood changes, immune issues, or poor recovery.

 

Organic Acids Test

A metabolic “snapshot” of cellular function, including:

  • Mitochondrial energy production
  • Detoxification pathways
  • Neurotransmitter metabolites
  • B-vitamin status
  • Oxidative stress
  • Dysbiosis and yeast markers

Ideal for chronic fatigue, mood issues, digestive symptoms, or unclear complex illness.

 

SIBO Breath Testing

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth is a common cause of:

  • Bloating Gas
  • Abdominal pain
  • Constipation or diarrhea
  • Nutrient malabsorption

Our hydrogenand methane breath testing helps guide targeted antimicrobial and gut-repair therapies.

 

Thyroid Panel

A full thyroid assessment goes beyond TSH alone. Our thyroid panels may include:

  • TSH
  • Free T3 & Free T4
  • Reverse T3
  • Thyroid antibodies (TPO & TgAb)

This provides a complete picture of thyroid hormone production, conversion, and autoimmune activity.  

 

*Before Testing: An Initial Consultation Is Required*

All functional testing at Marithyme Naturopathic Clinic requires an initial consultation with one of our naturopathic doctors. This ensures:

  • The right tests are selected for your unique concerns
  • Clinical context is reviewed first
  • We order only what is necessary and appropriate
  • You receive a clear interpretation and personalized plan once results are available

This approach keeps testing meaningful, strategic, and aligned with your individual health goals.
