Choose the right path.

Each option looks at a different area. We’ll help you choose only what fits your goals.

Not sure where to begin?

We’ll help you choose with confidence.

Tiredness that lingers, digestion that misbehaves, hormones that feel off – the frustrating part is rarely the symptom itself, it is not knowing why. Routine labs can come back ‘normal’ while you still don’t feel normal. To gain deeper insights into your health, Functional Lab Testing is available, including a thorough review by our Nutritionist of the results that give a deeper understanding of your overall health. We believe that because underlying imbalances may interfere with meeting your goals, additional testing can provide us with the “why” behind your concerns, leading to more precise recommendations. At Abundant Life Wellness Center in Fort Worth, that testing runs across hormone, gut health, and food allergy panels – saliva, stool, and blood samples – each explained in plain language up front and each reviewed with you rather than handed over as numbers.

The panels

The lab test menu

We offer an array of lab tests. Some of these tests include

Hormone testing

View Hormone Testing

Female Hormone Test

Saliva

Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and cortisol, measured in saliva. Because saliva can be collected at several points, this is the panel that shows a pattern across a day or a cycle rather than a single moment.

Male Hormone Test

Saliva

Testosterone, DHEA and cortisol in saliva. Useful where energy, mood, sleep, body composition or libido have shifted and a one-off blood testosterone reading has not explained it.

Gut health testing

Gastrointestinal Panel

Stool

Digestion and absorption markers, the balance of gut bacteria and yeast, inflammatory markers, and the presence of parasites or pathogens. The panel behind most bloating, reflux and irregularity questions.

Food sensitivity & allergy testing

Food Allergy Test (blood draw) — 184 IgG + 25 IgE

Blood draw

Both kinds of food reaction in one draw: 184 foods for delayed IgG responses, which can appear hours later and are almost impossible to spot from the plate, and 25 for immediate IgE responses.

Food Allergy Test (blood draw) — 184 IgG

Finger stick only, child or adult

The delayed-response half on its own — 184 foods for IgG reactions. The usual choice when nothing suggests an immediate allergy and the question is why food seems to disagree hours after eating.

Nutrient & metabolic testing

NutrEval Plasma | RUPA Kit w/ Review

Requires at home urine and blood samples

The broadest panel here: vitamin and mineral status, amino acids, essential fatty acids, and markers of oxidative stress and cellular energy. It includes a review, because a report this wide is not much use without someone walking you through it.

How care begins

Testing works here the way care works here.

From the first conversation to a reviewed result, the process is simple, comfortable, and focused on you.

A conversation on the practice couch
  1. Start with a conversation

    Not sure where to begin with your health concerns? A free 15 minute consult with our Nutritionist is the place to start.

  2. Collect the sample

    Depending on the panel, the sample is saliva, stool, a blood draw or a finger stick — collected at the practice or at home.

  3. Review the results

    Results come with a thorough review, for a deeper understanding of your overall health — not numbers in an inbox.

Functional Lab Testing Questions People Ask

How are the samples collected?

It depends on the test. The hormone panels use saliva, the gastrointestinal panel is a stool test, and food allergy testing is a blood draw — or a finger stick only for the 184 IgG version, child or adult. The NutrEval kit requires at home urine and blood samples.

Is there an extra fee for the blood draw?

For the 184 IgG + 25 IgE food allergy blood draw, yes — an additional lab draw fee applies. The front desk can tell you the current amount when you book.

Is lab testing covered by insurance?

While ALWC does not take health insurance, if your insurance plan has a flexible spending account or health savings account, check with your plan administrator to see if our services are covered for reimbursement.

Financing is available. CareCredit offers up to 24 months of no-interest financing on any of our services, with no minimum — you can apply directly. We also offer an interest-free four-payment plan. Full terms are on our financing page.

Which test is right for me?

Honestly, you should not have to work that out on your own, and we would rather you did not order one and hope. The panels overlap, some questions are answered more cheaply by a different test than the obvious one, and a few are not worth running until something simpler has been ruled out.

So the practical answer is to start with a conversation. Describe what has been going on, and the panel — or the decision not to run one yet — comes out of that. If you already know which test you want, that is fine too; you can say so and we will book it.

What happens if a test shows an imbalance?

You sit down with someone and go through it. A result outside a reference range is information, not a verdict — some are expected given what else is happening, some point at something worth acting on, and some are worth simply repeating before anyone reads anything into them.

What comes out of that conversation is a starting point you agreed to, along with what we will re-check and when. And if a result belongs with a physician rather than with us, we will tell you that plainly and help you get there.
