Advanced lab testing

Lab results are information, not a diagnosis on their own. We order tests that will change your plan, walk you through every result in a visit, and tell you when a test isn't worth your money.

Who it's for

Does this sound familiar?

  • Labs that came back 'normal' while you still feel unwell
  • A stack of results from different doctors and no one to connect them
  • Curious about a test you saw online
  • You want a solid baseline before making changes

If something feels urgent or is getting worse quickly, call your primary care doctor today or 911 in an emergency.

How we approach it

Four steps, in this order

  1. 01

    Start with your existing results

    Send what you have from the last year. There is no need to repeat a test that is recent and reliable.
  2. 02

    Order with a reason

    Each test on your order has a written reason. If it won't change the plan, we leave it off.
  3. 03

    Draw here or near you

    Blood draws in our clinic on weekday mornings, or at a partner draw station anywhere in Tennessee or Georgia.
  4. 04

    A visit, not a portal message

    Every panel is reviewed with you in a 45-minute visit. You leave with a one-page summary in plain words.

A note on the evidence

Tests we usually skip: IgG food sensitivity panels, hair mineral analysis and most 'toxin' panels. The evidence doesn't support using them to guide care, so we'd rather not charge you for them.

What a result looks like

A sample panel, annotated

This is the kind of page you take home after a lab review: each value, its range, and a plain note on what it means for you. The values here are made up for illustration.

Sample results · Foundations + thyroid

Illustrative, not a real patient

  • TSH Range 0.45 to 4.5 mIU/L

    3.9mIU/L

    In range, near the edge

    In range. With fatigue and cold hands, we also check free T3 and antibodies.

  • Free T4 Range 0.82 to 1.77 ng/dL

    1.1ng/dL

    In range

    Comfortably in range.

  • TPO antibodies Range Under 34 IU/mL

    88IU/mL

    Above range

    Above range. Points toward Hashimoto's. A finding to discuss, not a reason to panic.

  • Ferritin Range 15 to 150 ng/mL

    22ng/mL

    In range, near the edge

    Low end of normal. Worth a look with hair shedding or heavy periods.

  • Vitamin D, 25-OH Range 30 to 100 ng/mL

    24ng/mL

    Below range

    Below range. A measured dose, then a recheck in three months.

  • Hemoglobin A1c Range 4.8 to 5.6 %

    5.6%

    In range, near the edge

    Top of normal. Something to watch, and a good reason for a sensor trial.

A lab result is information, not a diagnosis on its own. Your clinician reads it with your symptoms, history and exam, and goes through every line with you in a visit.

Tests we may order

Only when they change the plan

Full lab price list

Many standard tests in these panels can be billed to your insurance instead. We check before ordering, and you always see the self-pay price first.

Honest about tests

Tests we usually skip, and why

  • IgG food sensitivity panels

    IgG often reflects foods you eat a lot, not foods that harm you. Results tend to lead to needless restriction.

  • Hair mineral analysis

    Results vary between labs and don't match blood levels well enough to guide treatment.

  • Provoked urine 'heavy metal' tests

    Taking a chelating drug first makes almost anyone's result look high.

  • Saliva 'adrenal fatigue' panels

    Adrenal fatigue isn't a recognized diagnosis. If cortisol needs checking, we use validated blood or urine tests.

Working with your other doctors

Results go to you first, then to your primary care doctor with your permission, so they are in one place for everyone who cares for you.

What we won't do

A lab number alone doesn't diagnose you. We read it alongside your symptoms, history and exam, and we say so when a result is a maybe.

When a result needs someone else

Some things need a specialist or urgent care first. If any of these apply, we send you to the right place before going further.

  • A result that needs urgent follow-up (we call you the same day)
  • Imaging, such as an ultrasound or scan
  • Genetic testing for inherited conditions (we refer to a genetic counselor)

Questions

About lab testing

All questions
Can I just order labs without a visit?

No. Every test is ordered by a clinician who will review it with you. A result without context can cause more worry than it solves.

Can you review labs I already have?

Yes. The one-time lab review visit ($295) covers results from the last 12 months, and it is credited toward membership if you join within 30 days.
