Laboratory Testing
Dr. Kelley offers a variety of laboratory testing and interpretation. Blood Nutrition Analysis information can be found on the "services" page.
What Makes the Functional Approach to Blood Chemistry Analysis Different
When you approach blood chemistry from the functional perspective, you gain a tool to identify and treat dysfunction before it manifests as a disease. Rather than wait for iron deficiency to become anemia or insulin insensitivity to become diabetes, Functional Medicine practitioners intervene early to avoid the negative health outcomes.
Patient-Focused; Not Disease-Focused
In contrast to allopathic medicine’s focus on disease, the functional approach to blood chemistry is a patient-focused one.
An allopathic practitioner looks to categorize a patient’s symptoms under a specific disease to deploy a specific treatment plan tailored to that disease. This approach begins with disease and works back to the patient. Functional medicine does the opposite; it starts with the patient and their concerns, then works towards treating those concerns.
By building a holistic, comprehensive picture of their patients’ health, functional medicine practitioners provide treatment plans tailored to the patient. Ideally, this helps to prevent the disease from occurring in the first place. Going even further, it helps to prevent states of dysfunction — that is, those states of imperfect health that fall through the cracks of disease diagnosis

The Adrenal Stress Index Panel (ASI) is a simple non-invasive test utilizing four saliva samples collected a specified time periods during the day. It was introduced by Diagnos-Techs in 1989 to evaluate stress, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.
The Bone Health Panel (BHP) provides an assessment of bone health utilizing a combination of non-invasive saliva and urine tests. It measures how fast bone is being lost and and the hormone levels associated with bone health.
The Female Hormone Panel (FHP) is a non-invasive test consisting of eleven saliva specimens collected during specified time periods throughout the menstrual cycle. The expanded Female Hormone Panel (eFHP) includes fourteen additional measurements.
Food Allergy (Sensitivity) Panel)
The Food Allergy (Sensitivity) Panel tests for an immune response to four of the most common food allergens: gluten, soy, milk, and egg proteins. Antibodies to these foods can easily be tested for from a non-invasive saliva sample, providing information that can aid in successful treatment.
The Gastrointestinal Health Panels (GI) are a group of non-invasive screens of the gastrointestinal tract and its function. It includes 12-22 individual, yet related, tests. Stool and saliva samples are submitted by the patient after home collection.
The Male Hormone Panel (MHP) uses non-invasive testing to assess hormone imbalances and deficiencies in men. Using a saliva sample, seven hormones are measured. The expanded panel adds two more hormone tests to the panel.
The Postmenopausal Panel (PostM) provides measurements of six key hormones. The Perimenopause Panel (PeriM) contains the same components as the Postmenopause Panel but is samples twice, 13-15 days apart. The expanded versions add two more hormones to each panel.
GI-MAP™
UNCOVER THE UNDERLYING CAUSE OF CHRONIC ILLNESS
Modern technology has given us a number of insights into the root causes of chronic illness. Nowhere has this insight been more revolutionary and impactful than in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The GI tract is home to an entire ecosystem of microorganisms (known as the microbiome), living in a symbiotic relationship with its host. These microorganisms do far more than just reside within us - they are essential for life and health. They are responsible for many important functions such as vitamin synthesis, hormone production, immune system regulation, and communication with the neurological system. More than ever before, medical research has established a link between health benefits or disease risks brought about by these microorganisms that inhabit the human body.
In the last few decades, DNA analysis has transformed the field of microbiology. Almost all research of microbes utilize DNA methodology. The NIH has followed suit with initiatives including the Human Microbiome Project, which characterized the microbiome of 15 habitats of the body using DNA analysis.
More than ever before, we are keenly aware of the health benefits or disease risks brought about by the microorganisms that inhabit the human body. Culture techniques, previously the standard, left up to 50% of bacterial species virtually invisible. Because most of the bacteria of the GI tract are anaerobes, culture based methods cannot cultivate them which leaves a large blind spot for clinicians when trying to diagnose the source of infection.
Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is pleased to partner with you to bring true ADVANCES in microbial testing. Our commitment to laboratory medicine is to utilize proven methodologies that are accurate and reliable. We are pleased to offer clinicians the first of many advances, the GI-MAP™ (GI Microbial Assay Plus).
