St. George, Utah · Functional Medicine & Acupuncture
Advanced functional lab testing that goes far beyond standard bloodwork — uncovering the real root cause of what's holding you back.
Most patients come to us after years of being told their labs are "normal" — yet they feel anything but. The difference is what gets tested, how it gets interpreted, and what questions we're asking the data to answer.
Functional lab testing helps us see beyond surface-level symptoms to the underlying drivers of your health challenges. Standard panels cast a narrow net. Ours cast a wide one — examining how your organs, hormones, immune system, gut, and nervous system are all communicating with each other.
Comprehensive testing also gives us the power to detect dysfunction before it becomes disease — identifying patterns that are headed in the wrong direction and correcting course early.
Getting tested is simple, and most of it can happen from home or virtually.
Each test is chosen based on your unique situation — we don't run panels for the sake of running panels. Here's what's available.
Most Requested
Goes far beyond TSH — a full panel reveals up to 9 markers including Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and antibodies to detect Hashimoto's and other dysfunction.
Gut & Digestion
Stool and intestinal permeability testing to identify dysbiosis, parasites, bacterial imbalances, and leaky gut — a root cause of many autoimmune and inflammatory conditions.
Hormones
Comprehensive sex hormone testing including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and DHEA — critical for energy, mood, libido, and metabolic health.
Stress & Energy
Salivary cortisol testing across multiple time points throughout the day to identify adrenal fatigue, HPA axis dysregulation, and chronic stress patterns.
Immune & Allergy
IgG and IgA food sensitivity testing to identify foods that may be driving inflammation, gut symptoms, brain fog, skin issues, and immune dysregulation.
Toxins
Urine and blood testing for heavy metal toxicity (mercury, lead, arsenic) and non-metal chemical exposures that affect neurological, hormonal, and immune health.
Heart Health
Advanced lipid panels, inflammatory markers, and vascular function tests that go beyond standard cholesterol to assess true cardiovascular risk.
Nutrient Status
Micronutrient testing to identify deficiencies in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids that are foundational to energy, mood, and immune resilience.
Mental Health
Urine-based testing to assess serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and other neurotransmitters — illuminating biochemical drivers of anxiety, depression, and sleep issues.
Genetics
Genetic testing for variants like MTHFR and others that affect detoxification, methylation, and nutrient metabolism — giving you lifelong insight into your biology.
Infections
Testing for under-recognized chronic infections including Lyme, EBV, H. pylori, and intestinal parasites that are often missed by conventional screening.
Blood Sugar
Detailed metabolic markers including fasting insulin, HbA1c, and advanced glucose metrics to detect insulin resistance and pre-diabetes years before it becomes diabetes.
I was experiencing brain fog, weight gain, fatigue and pain. I received treatments from Dr. Lane this past year that have left me feeling the best I have ever felt! My brain fog is gone. I have tons of energy and I am at my lowest weight in 30 years. I also have a lot less pain in my knees.— Elaine K., Patient at Elemental Natural Medicine
Running labs is only half the work. How those results are interpreted makes all the difference.
We use functional optimal ranges — tighter windows that reflect where your markers should be for peak health, not just the broad ranges designed to flag disease.
We look at every marker in relation to all the others — identifying patterns and connections that a single-system view misses entirely.
We go beyond the standard 6-marker panel. A thyroid workup alone can include 9+ markers, including antibodies and conversion pathway markers most doctors never order.
Dr. Lane reviews every result with you in plain language — you'll leave knowing exactly what your body is doing and why, not just receiving a list of numbers.
Every panel is followed by a personalized protocol — functional medicine, acupuncture, nutrition, and targeted supplementation built around your specific results.
Most testing kits can be shipped directly to your door and completed at home. Consultations are available in-clinic in St. George or virtually — no insurance required.
Every panel is personally reviewed and interpreted by Dr. Lane — never handed off to a remote analyst.
