Functional Health Assessment & Organic Acids Test Review
Get Answers When Your Symptoms Don't Make Sense
If you've ever been told your labs are normal, but you still don't feel like yourself, this is for you.
Maybe you're dealing with bloating. Brain fog. Fatigue. Anxiety. Stubborn symptoms that don't seem severe enough to warrant a diagnosis, but are annoying enough to impact your daily life.
You know something feels off.
You just don't know why.
That's where the Functional Health Assessment comes in.
The Functional Health Assessment combines a comprehensive review of your health history with an Organic Acids Test (OAT) to help uncover potential root causes of your symptoms and create a personalized roadmap for moving forward.
This Service Includes:
Comprehensive intake review
Organic Acids Test interpretation
One-on-one results review session
Personalized nutrition and lifestyle action plan
What Is a Functional Health Assessment?
The Functional Health Assessment is designed to help connect the dots between your symptoms and what's happening inside your body.
Rather than looking at symptoms in isolation, we combine your health history with advanced functional lab testing to identify patterns that may be contributing to how you're feeling.
This assessment is ideal for individuals who want a deeper understanding of their health and a personalized plan based on objective data rather than guesswork.
What Is the Organic Acids Test (OAT)?
The Organic Acids Test is one of the most comprehensive functional nutrition tests available.
Using a simple urine and bloodspot (finger prick) sample, it provides insight into multiple body systems that can influence energy, digestion, mood, recovery, and overall health.
The test evaluates markers related to:
Nutrient deficiencies
Digestion and absorption
Gut health and microbial balance
Cellular energy production
Oxidative stress
Detoxification pathways
Neurotransmitter-related processes
Because so many systems are evaluated at once, the Organic Acids Test can help identify patterns that may not be visible through conventional bloodwork alone.
What Can an Organic Acids Test Reveal?
The Organic Acids Test can provide valuable insight into factors that may contribute to symptoms.
Common findings include:
Nutrient Deficiencies
The test can identify markers associated with deficiencies in nutrients such as B vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, amino acids, and other compounds involved in energy production and metabolism.
Gut Dysbiosis
Certain markers may suggest bacterial or yeast imbalances that could be contributing to digestive symptoms, inflammation, brain fog, or mood changes.
Impaired Digestion and Absorption
You can eat the healthiest diet in the world, but if your body isn't properly digesting and absorbing nutrients, symptoms can persist.
Low Cellular Energy Production
The test evaluates pathways involved in mitochondrial function and energy production, which may provide clues for individuals struggling with fatigue or poor recovery.
Oxidative Stress
Elevated oxidative stress can contribute to inflammation and increased nutrient demands.
Detoxification Support Needs
Markers related to glutathione levels and other detoxification pathways can provide insight into how your body is managing everyday exposures and metabolic byproducts.
Common Symptoms Associated With Nutrient Deficiencies and Gut Imbalances
The Functional Health Assessment may be a good fit if you're experiencing:
Fatigue or low energy
Brain fog
Bloating
Gas or digestive discomfort
Food sensitivities
Constipation or diarrhea
Anxiety
Mood changes
Poor stress resilience
Chronic inflammation
Autoimmune symptoms
Difficulty recovering from exercise
"Normal" labs but ongoing symptoms
You don't need to have a diagnosis to benefit from understanding how your body is functioning.
Organic Acids Test Success Story
How Michael Finally Connected the Dots
For nearly a decade, Michael had elevated liver enzymes that doctors shrugged away. Since he was otherwise “healthy,” they assured him that he didn’t need to worry. But on top of these markers, Michael was struggling. Though nothing was overtly wrong, nothing was right either.
He was fatigued in a way that didn’t make sense, and struggling with muscle cramping, anxiety, and difficulty focusing at work
When we reviewed his Organic Acids Test, several patterns emerged.
We identified multiple nutrient insufficiencies, signs that he wasn't fully absorbing and utilizing nutrients from his food, low glutathione status, and bacterial imbalances that helped explain many of his symptoms.
Armed with that information, we created a personalized plan focused on nutrition, stress management, lifestyle changes, and targeted supplementation.
Within a few weeks, he was sleeping through the night, experiencing fewer muscle cramps, feeling more focused, and noticing significant improvements in his energy.
Within a few months, his liver enzymes improved for the first time in nearly ten years, alongside improvements in many of his other health markers.
His message afterward?

Frequently Asked Questions About Organic Acids Testing
Is the Organic Acids Test worth it?
The Organic Acids Test is the definition of lowest hanging fruit and, because of that, it’s one I use with almost every client. It gives a direct snapshot into nutrient needs, gut imbalances, digestion and absorption, detox ability, mitochondrial health, and oxidative stress to show
What does an Organic Acids Test show?
The Organic Acids Test shows nutrient needs, gut imbalances, digestion and absorption, detox ability, mitochondrial health, and oxidative stress markers to get a clear picture of what’s going on inside. Curious to learn more? Watch this short video walking through the lab.
What makes an Organic Acids Test different from a blood test?
Blood tests measure what's circulating in your bloodstream. The Organic Acids Test looks at metabolic byproducts to provide insight into how your body is functioning, including gut health, how it is actually utilizing nutrients, energy production, and detoxification.
What happens after the assessment?
You'll leave with a personalized action plan and a clearer understanding of factors that may be contributing to your symptoms. If you decide you'd like ongoing support, the full cost of your assessment can be applied toward a coaching package.
Stop Guessing. Start Understanding.
