Lab Testing
Sometime there’s just no better way to uncover your vibrant goddess than by doing a little lab testing! My philosophy on lab testing is simple, test don’t guess! I use lab testing often in my practice because it helps my clients understand their health on a deep level while, at the same time, provide valuable information so we can create a super targeted healing protocol. Lab testing may not be required in every situation, but it can be very beneficial. Here is a summary of lab testing services offered at VGN.
- Best for identifying hidden food/chemical sensitivities causing inflammation and chronic symptoms (e.g., migraines, ADHD, fatigue).
About the test:
A blood test that measures immune “mediator” release (not antibodies like in allergies). This allows for a personalized anti-inflammatory food plan that supports healing and reduces symptom flare-ups.
Note: Combining GI-MAP + MRT allows for a highly tailored protocol that accelerates healing.
Food Sensitivity Testing – MRT (Oxford Biomedical Labs)
Ideal for evaluating fertility, stress, adrenal function, sleep, and hormone balance.
About the test:
Easy at-home urine and saliva collection. Assesses hormone levels and how your body processes them. Provides insight into estrogen, progesterone, cortisol, DHEA, melatonin, testosterone, and nutrient needs.
Cycle Mapping (30-day version) available for detailed fertility tracking.

Recommended for:
- Infertility, irregular/painful cycles, menopause
- Acne, fatigue, sleep issues, low libido, chronic stress
- History of hormone-sensitive cancers
Hormone Testing – DUTCH Test (Precision Analytical Labs)
Stool Testing – GI-MAP (Diagnostic Solutions Lab)
Recommended for symptoms such as:
About the test:
Requires just one stool sample. Uses DNA analysis to detect pathogens, bacteria, parasites, viruses, fungi, and gut health markers. Helps assess the balance of your microbiome and its impact on digestion, immunity, and hormone processing (especially estrogen). A healthy gut is foundational for long-term wellness.
Recommended for symptoms such as:
- Bloating, IBS, constipation/diarrhea, indigestion, reflux
- Fatigue, headaches, anemia, weight changes
- Autoimmune issues, mood disorders, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis)
- Hormonal imbalances, infertility, family history of GI issues

The GI-MAP® is a comprehensive stool test that uses advanced qPCR DNA technology to identify bacteria, parasites, fungi, H. pylori, and other microbes living in your gut.
Unlike standard stool tests, the GI-MAP provides precise, quantitative results—showing not just what organisms are present, but how much of each is there. This gives a clear picture of gut balance, infections, and overall digestive health.
With this information, we can create a personalized plan to restore healthy gut function, reduce inflammation, and support hormone balance, fertility, and overall wellness. Retesting after a protocol also helps track progress and ensure the gut is truly healed.

Stool Testing – GI-MAP (Diagnostic Solutions Lab)
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a simple at-home urine test that offers a deep look into how your body is working on a cellular level. It helps uncover hidden imbalances, nutrient needs, and areas of stress that may be affecting your energy, hormones, fertility, or overall well-being.
Your OAT results highlight how your body is:
Supporting gut health — reveals imbalances like yeast (candida), harmful bacteria, or mold that can affect digestion, hormones, and immune health.
Processing oxalates — shows if high oxalate levels may be contributing to inflammation or mineral imbalances.
Creating energy — measures how efficiently your body turns food into energy and supports healthy mitochondrial function (the “powerhouses” of your cells).
Nourishing brain and mood health — looks at neurotransmitter balance and markers related to stress, mood, and mental clarity.
Detoxifying and repairing — evaluates antioxidant levels, detox capacity, and your body’s natural ability to clear toxins.
Meeting nutrient needs — highlights key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants your body may need more of to function optimally.
Maintaining mineral balance — gives insights into phosphate and vitamin D status, both important for bone, hormone, and cellular health.
The OAT gives us a powerful window into what your body truly needs to restore balance, energy, and vitality — creating a strong foundation for fertility, a healthy pregnancy, and lifelong wellness.

Metabolic Testing - Organic Acids Test (Mosaic Diagnostics)
Micronutrient Panel
The Micronutrient Panel is a simple blood test that takes a deeper look at your body’s true nutrient status—both inside your cells (intracellular) and in your bloodstream (extracellular). It measures your body’s functional need for over 40 essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids.
Using advanced LC-MS/MS and ICP-MS technology, this test gives highly precise insight into how well you’re absorbing and utilizing nutrients—helping us uncover areas where your body may need more support.
With this information, we can create a personalized nutrition and supplement plan to support hormone balance, optimize egg and sperm quality, prepare for conception, and nourish a healthy pregnancy.
What’s Measured:
14 Vitamin Markers
9 Mineral & Electrolyte Markers
13 Amino Acid & Antioxidant Markers
4 Fatty Acid & Metabolic Markers
