Functional Lab Tests & Other Services Offered:

  • Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus (GI-MAPā„¢): a stool test that analyzes the gut microbiome to identify pathogens and assess digestive health.Ā The test uses DNA sequencing technology to measure the levels of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites in the stool sample.Ā It also assesses proteins related to digestive and immune health.
  • Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Test: a soft tissue mineral biopsy that provides a reading of the mineral deposition in the cells and interstitial spaces of the hair over a 2-3 month period. It is one of the most valuable screening tools available in preventative healthcare.Ā 
  • Mediator Release Test (MRT): aĀ blood test that analyzes your individual response to 170 different foods and chemicals. This incredible test allows you to bypass doing an elimination diet to uncover foods you may be sensitive to, saving time and stress. Foods and chemicals are labeled green, yellow, or red based on your bio-individual sensitivity to them, and the respective triggers are eliminated for three or six months before being reintroduced into the diet and lifestyle after a healing protocol.Ā 
  • Blood Test Analysis: as a practitioner with Rupa Health, I can order comprehensive blood tests and provide analysis from a functional perspective. This will accompany one or both of the above functional lab tests.Ā 
  • Trauma-Informed Care: I aim to prevent re-traumatization and take into account that, often, women have experienced trauma at the hands of conventional healthcare before finding a holistic, functional approach. I gather a complete picture of your health history, life situation and circumstances in order to provide the most compassionate, comprehensive, and sustainable care possible.Ā 
  • Eating Disorder Support: I am a certified EDITĀ® (Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy) Clinician and offer trauma-informed support for eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and more. I operate through a Health At Every SizeĀ® lens and believe passionately in body neutrality.
