At Ashara Health & Wellness, we use Functional Lab Testing to uncover the deeper patterns behind your symptoms, not just what’s normal, but what’s optimal.
Serving clients from Laguna Beach as well as Irvine, Huntington Beach, and Aliso Viejo, we combine advanced diagnostics with holistic interpretation to identify root causes and create precise treatment plans.
How Functional Lab Testing Works
Our process begins with a comprehensive consultation, followed by precision testing that examines the systems most often overlooked in conventional medicine.
Common tests include:
→ Comprehensive Blood Chemistry: Evaluates metabolism, inflammation, liver, and kidney function.
→ Hormone Panels: Measures thyroid, cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone balance.
→ GI-MAP (Stool Analysis): Assesses microbiome health, pathogens, and digestion markers.
→ Organic Acids Test (OAT): Reveals mitochondrial function, nutrient deficiencies, and detox pathways.
→ Food Sensitivity & Immune Response Panels: Identifies inflammatory triggers.
→ Toxicity Testing: Screens for mold, heavy metals, and chemical exposure.
These insights allow your provider to design a program that targets the why behind your condition, not just the symptoms.
