Functional Blood Test Analysis
Blood tests come back normal, but you just don’t feel right?
Introducing Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis
Unlike conventional blood analysis, which uses broad reference ranges to diagnose a disease, FBCA utilizes ‘functional’ ranges in order to determine disease risk and identify sub-clinical health problems long before they manifest as full-blown disease.
With early detection, many of your health problems can be prevented and appropriately managed with diet and lifestyle interventions. This is where the term ‘healthcare’ has meaning. We don’t want to wait until there’s a diseased state.
Another great feature of FBCA is it’s ability to track your health indicators and disease risk over time. By comparing your results to previous tests you are able to view your healthy trajectory and monitor the effects of any health-optimisation strategies you implement.
It’s arguably one of the most valuable, efficient and cost-effective screening tools for evaluating the status of your health and susceptibility to disease.
‘Normal’ is not the same as optimal!
So you’re feeling off and your doctor orders some blood tests, but when the results come in you are told “everything looks normal”. Yet, despite this you still don’t feel well and are convinced that something is going on…
If this sounds familiar, you are not alone!
This is actually a very common experience, which typically results from the way conventional blood testing is interpreted. It’s not uncommon for people to start feeling unwell long before their blood markers move outside the traditional ‘normal’ range.
Even though you’ve been told everything looks great, your test results may be far from being what is considered physiologically optimal.

If you do not have blood tests, but want to have a FBCA, you have two options:
1) Visit your primary care provider and ask if they can order blood testing for you. A more comprehensive blood panel may or may not be covered by your healthcare insurance/Medicare. I recommend always checking to see what is covered. I recommend using the lab we are affiliated with to have the markers that are not covered by insurance. The prices are 30-50% less than what you’d pay.
The more blood markers you get tested the more powerful the FBCA report will be.
Here’s a list of suggested blood markers to request from your doctor or health practitioner.

2) If you live in the US and want blood work without having to see a healthcare provider, we recommend using the lab we’ve partnered with YourLabWorks.com. This is a private service requiring an out-of pocket expense and is not covered by Medicare but you may use your FSA or HSA funds. The labs are available at 30-50% off.
Please review the downloadable Male or Female Panel to see how to order from YourLabWorks.com or schedule a 20 minute Discovery call so we can make this seamless and easy for you.
Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis provides insight into your current health status and can help uncover blind spots you may not have been aware of. This allows you to seek help and take appropriate action to get you closer to your health and wellness goals.
Nutritional deficiencies identified on the report can be helpful to make informed decisions about diet, lifestyle, gut health, and nutritional supplementation.
The report can also provide a comparative analysis up to 6 previous test results and can be used to track changes. This can be helpful to track disease risk over time and monitor the effects of a health optimization program and effectiveness of implementing new protocols.
Your FBCA report can be shared with members of your healthcare team, so they can help support and guide you in your pursuit for better health.
FBCA is not intended to provide medical advice or to take the place of a consultation and treatment from your doctor.
Should the report flag-up anything that may indicate a serious problem, please seek appropriate medical advice.
Periodic testing is recommended every 6-12 months
This report is not intended to diagnose or treat any specific medical condition. If the report determines there is a high likelihood of dysfunction occurring in a body system, you should speak with your primary healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
