LAB TESTING

Nothing replaces a clean diet that is right for your specific body. However, if you have tried "cleaning up" your diet and are still struggling from a nagging symptom(s), further lab testing might be the next step to finding optimal health and happiness! Thousands of tests can be run, and we always advise talking to a professional before ordering tests to find the right test for your situation/symptom(s). You can schedule a 15-minute phone consultation with a health coach to discuss your situation and if testing is the right step for $25. The $25 will be applied towards the cost of the test that you and the health coach determine is best for you at this time.
