Comprehensive Lab Testing for Better Health
At Lake Oswego Health Center, we provide a variety of lab tests to meet your health goals and support our evaluation for a correct diagnosis.
We offer food and nutrient level testing, heavy metal testing, extensive digestion testing, thorough hormone evaluation, longevity testing, genetic testing, and standard primary care labs. In addition to these we offer various toxicology testing, mold testing, and glyphosate level analysis.
Lab testing can be used to help identify and treat a variety of health conditions, as described below.
How Lab Testing Works
Depending on the lab test recommended by your doctor, you may need to:
- Schedule a blood draw at our clinic
- Take a home test with instructions
- Visit a lab draw station
We thoroughly explain all tests before they are performed to ensure you understand the process.
What We Test
Lake Oswego Health Center tests for:
Autoimmune Disorders: Testing evaluates not only antibodies for diagnosis but also the root causes such as digestive concerns, chronic infections, toxin levels, and nutrient deficiencies. This is an example of how functional medicine uncovers the cause of symptoms.
Food Allergies and Sensitivities: Often used when patients experience bloating, skin concerns, brain fog, or difficulty losing weight. Testing helps identify foods contributing to these issues.
Heavy Metals: Exposure to heavy metals can lead to acute and chronic toxic effects impacting multiple organs. Tests may use blood, urine, or hair analysis, with treatments including chelation therapy, digestive support, or identifying previously unnoticed sources of exposure.
Hormone Testing: See Hormone Management page.
Nutrient Testing: Key lab tests provide insight into nutritional deficiencies, allowing for precise dietary corrections.
Thyroid Testing: See Autoimmune and Thyroid Treatments page.
Inflammation/Immune Markers: Testing identifies inflammation triggers that can dysregulate the immune system, helping explain fatigue, joint pain, chronic infections, or brain fog. Standard lab tests often miss these causes. Early detection can help prevent future health issues.
