Comprehensive lab testing
Why is comprehensive lab testing so important?
Our comprehensive lab testing goes far beyond the testing that you are used to. Instead of just looking for disease or a diagnosis, we focus on how your body is functioning. In-depth testing is a crucial part of understanding what’s really going on inside the body. Rather than guessing, covering up symptoms, or following protocols, these tests give us clear answers about the stressors affecting your health.
At The Wellness Way Fargo, we use functional lab testing to uncover the underlying causes of your concerns—so we can create a truly personalized plan to help you heal, not just feel better temporarily.
Our most common tests
DUTCH Hormone Test
The DUTCH Complete Test is one of the most comprehensive hormone tests we offer at The Wellness Way Fargo. Using a simple dried urine collection, this advanced test evaluates sex hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, while also measuring cortisol patterns, adrenal function, and hormone metabolism. Unlike basic hormone testing that provides only a single snapshot, the DUTCH Complete helps uncover patterns that may contribute to symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, irregular menstrual cycles, infertility, PMS, perimenopause, menopause symptoms, low libido, poor sleep, anxiety, and mood changes. At The Wellness Way Fargo, we use the DUTCH Complete Test to better understand how your body is functioning so we can create a personalized plan focused on supporting hormone balance and addressing the underlying causes of your health concerns—not simply managing symptoms.
Immuno Labs Food Allergy and Sensitivity Testing
The Immuno Labs Food Allergy and Sensitivity Test is a comprehensive blood test designed to identify delayed food immune reactions that may be contributing to chronic inflammation and ongoing health concerns. Unlike traditional allergy testing that focuses primarily on immediate reactions, this advanced panel evaluates immune responses to a wide variety of foods, helping uncover potential triggers that may be associated with digestive issues, headaches, skin conditions, joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, autoimmune concerns, and other chronic symptoms. At The Wellness Way Fargo, we use Immuno Labs food sensitivity testing to create personalized nutrition recommendations based on your results, helping you make informed dietary choices while addressing the underlying factors that may be impacting your health. Our goal is to use comprehensive testing—not guesswork—to develop a plan tailored to your unique needs.
Genova Diagnostics Stool Testing
The Genova Diagnostics Comprehensive Stool Analysis is an advanced gut health test that provides an in-depth look at how your digestive system is functioning. Using a stool sample, this comprehensive assessment evaluates the balance of beneficial and opportunistic bacteria, yeast, parasites, digestive function, inflammation, immune activity, short-chain fatty acids, and markers of intestinal health. Rather than simply identifying symptoms, this testing helps uncover potential factors that may be contributing to digestive complaints, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, food sensitivities, skin conditions, fatigue, nutrient malabsorption, immune dysfunction, and other chronic health concerns. At The Wellness Way Fargo, we use Genova Diagnostics stool testing to gain a clearer understanding of your gut health and develop a personalized plan including diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations that supports digestion, restores balance to the microbiome, and addresses the underlying causes of your symptoms.
Customized Blood Work Panels
Our Comprehensive Blood Work Panels go far beyond the standard lab work many people are accustomed to receiving. Depending on your needs, your testing may include thyroid function, hormone levels, inflammation, nutrient status, blood sugar regulation, cardiovascular health, immune function, liver and kidney health, metabolic markers, and more. At The Wellness Way Fargo, we believe the more information we have, the better we can identify patterns and uncover potential contributors to symptoms such as fatigue, digestive issues, weight changes, hormone imbalances, brain fog, autoimmune concerns, and chronic inflammation. Our comprehensive blood work allows us to develop a personalized care plan based on your body's unique needs that includes diet, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations to support your body's function.
Mosaic Diagnostics Organic Acids Test
The Mosaic Diagnostics Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a comprehensive urine test that provides valuable insight into how your body is functioning at the cellular level. By measuring dozens of metabolic markers, the OAT can help identify patterns related to nutrient deficiencies, mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, gut microbiome imbalances, yeast and bacterial overgrowth, neurotransmitter metabolism, detoxification pathways, and more. This advanced testing is often helpful for individuals experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, mood changes, chronic infections, skin concerns, or difficulty reaching their health goals. At The Wellness Way Fargo, we use the Organic Acids Test to better understand the underlying factors influencing your health so we can develop a personalized plan focused on restoring function and supporting your body's natural ability to heal through our "Test. Don't Guess." approach.
Mosaic Diagnostics Environmental Toxin Testing
Mosaic Diagnostics Environmental Toxin Testing helps evaluate your body's exposure to a variety of environmental toxins that may impact overall health and wellness. Depending on your individual needs and health history, we may recommend specialized testing for substances such as mycotoxins (toxins produced by mold), heavy metals, environmental chemicals, and other toxic compounds that can place stress on the body's natural detoxification systems. These advanced laboratory tests can provide important information when investigating chronic symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, headaches, hormone imbalances, immune dysfunction, neurological concerns, or persistent health issues without a clear explanation. At The Wellness Way Fargo, we use these tests alongside your health history and other test findings to develop a personalized plan that supports detoxification, reduces ongoing exposures when possible, and addresses the underlying causes of your health concerns.
