The right test, at the right time.
Standard bloodwork often misses what's going on. We use a broad menu of functional and conventional testing options to build a complete picture of your physiology, then translate it into a plan you can follow.
Tests we use most often.
These are some of the functional and conventional tests we recommend most frequently, not a complete list. Every recommendation is based on your symptoms, health history, and the questions we're trying to answer.
- Comprehensive bloodwork
- DUTCH hormone testing
- Salivary cortisol mapping
- Comprehensive stool analysis
- SIBO breath testing
- Micronutrient panels
- Heavy metals testing
- Mold & toxin testing
- Food sensitivity panel
- Comprehensive thyroid panel
- Advanced lipid panel
- Organic acid testing
Testing is ordered only after your 90-minute first visit, and always with a clear purpose.

Purpose before panels. We don't order tests simply because they're available. Every recommendation starts with a clinical question we're trying to answer.
The right tool for the job. Blood, saliva, urine, stool, and breath testing all have different strengths. We choose the testing method that best matches the physiology we're evaluating.
Information that guides care. Testing should provide meaningful insight. We recommend it when the results will help us better understand your health and make more informed decisions about your care.
What testing typically costs
Functional testing costs vary depending on the panel. Most tests begin around $300 to $400, while more comprehensive evaluations may cost more. Before ordering any test, we'll review the expected cost, explain why it's being recommended, and answer any questions you have.
Most functional panels aren't billed through insurance. We accept HSA and FSA, and provide a superbill on request for the visit portion.
Before you book.
- Insurance? Foundations is private pay. HSA and FSA are accepted, and superbills are available on request. See pricing.
- What is the first visit? 90 minutes, in person at Knewtson Health Group in Excelsior. Any testing comes after that visit, with the cost reviewed first.
- Coming from farther away? Only the first visit has to be in person. Follow-ups can be in person or virtual, whichever works for you.
