Functional Health Consultations

Feeling stuck despite doing all the right things? It’s time to optimize your health! Our Functional Health Plans help you understand your body’s needs and restore balance—so you can regain energy, confidence, and vitality

Looking Through a Functional Lens

Looking beyond the basics can reveal the root cause of your symptoms and help you thrive. At Natural Drip, we offer personalized lab testing—from blood work to hormone panels, saliva, and stool tests—based on your unique needs. After a thorough intake with our nurse practitioner, we uncover imbalances in hormones, nutrients, neurotransmitters, and gut health, providing insights that can truly transform your well-being. Common symptoms of these imbalances include:

  • Difficult Sleeping
  • Lack of Energy
  • Reduced Focus, Memory or Concentration
  • Lack of Motivation
  • Anxiety or Depression
  • Mood Changes
  • Joint Pain
  • Decreased Performance or Strength
  • Weight Loss Resistance or Weight Gain
  • Insulin Resistance
  • Thinning Hair or Hair Loss
  • Acne, Eczema or Psoriasis
  • Bloating, Constipation or Diarrhea
  • Reflux or Heartburn
  • Food Sensitivities
  • Low Libido
  • Hot Flashes
  • Painful or Irregular Periods

Conventional medicine treats symptoms, but functional medicine targets the root cause. By understanding your unique biology, we address underlying imbalances to create personalized solutions that promote lasting health and prevent recurring issues.

Functional Labs

Functional and conventional lab work offered during our Functional Health Consultations can include but are not limited to:

Blood Analysis

Traditional blood tests often overlook key imbalances by using broad reference ranges. Functional testing, however, takes a deeper look at biomarkers with a more personalized approach, helping identify nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, and environmental triggers. Our blood analysis may include CBC, CMP, Lipid Panel, A1C, Fasting Insulin, Full Thyroid Panel, Hormone Panels, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D, and more.

Functional Labs

GI MICROBIAL ASSAY PLUS (GI-MAP)

The GI-MAP is an at-home stool test that analyzes gut health, pathogens, digestion, immune function, and inflammation using advanced PCR technology. It helps identify the root causes of issues like bloating, constipation, skin conditions, brain fog, and food sensitivities—making it essential for those with chronic gut, metabolic, or hormone-related concerns.

ZRT NEUROTRANSMITTER TESTING

This at-home test measures neurotransmitter levels that impact mood, energy, and overall well-being. Factors like genetics, environment, and nutrition can disrupt neurotransmitter balance, leading to issues such as anxiety, depression, fatigue, insomnia, and adrenal dysfunction. Identifying imbalances helps address neurological and psychological symptoms at their source.

Functional Labs

METHYL-DETOX PROFILE

This test analyzes key genes in the methylation pathway, a crucial process for detoxification, DNA repair, and neurotransmitter production. Poor methylation can contribute to neurological disorders, immune dysfunction, and heart disease. The profile includes genetic markers like MTHFR, MTR, COMT, and Homocysteine, along with personalized nutrient recommendations to support optimal function and prevent health issues.

CELLULAR MICRONUTRIENT ASSAY

The CMA blood test measures long-term nutrient levels within immune cells, providing a deeper insight than standard serum tests. It identifies deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other essential nutrients, using an easy-to-read, color-coded system. With personalized recommendations, this test helps optimize cellular function and prevent health issues related to nutrient imbalances.

Functional Labs

Diurnal Salivary Cortisol Test

This test measures cortisol levels throughout the day to create a diurnal curve, revealing patterns in stress response and adrenal function. Since cortisol regulates energy and is influenced by the HPA axis, irregular levels can indicate adrenal imbalances. This test helps assess stress-related dysfunction and optimize energy regulation.

Lifestyle Factors

At Natural Drip, we take a holistic approach to health by addressing more than just lab work and supplements. Stress, diet, and exercise play a crucial role in gut health, nutrient balance, cortisol levels, and hormone function. Our goal is to equip you with the tools to make impactful lifestyle changes for lasting wellness.

Functional Labs

BioIdentical Hormone Replacement Therapy

Bioidentical hormone therapy helps restore hormonal balance in both men and women, improving energy, strength, mood, memory, weight management, and libido. At Natural Drip, we use precise, personalized dosing based on in-house blood work analysis and routine follow-ups. Our bioidentical hormones are locally compounded by a trusted pharmacy for optimal results.

Pricing 

Initial consultations are $150 with a review of lab work included in the initial consultation fee. Follow-up visits are $75 each visit. Lab costs vary by patient needs or labs desired. Insurance is not accepted, however, if you have lab work from another provider we can utilize those results to reduce cost if within a reasonable time frame.
