Personalized Nutrition Labs Recommendations
What Are Personalized Lab Recommendations?
Personalized lab recommendations are specific laboratory tests based on your health history, current symptoms, medications, diet, and goals. Tests can include, but are not limited to, routine blood panels, nutrient status tests (iron, vitamin D, B12, folate), metabolic markers (lipids, glucose, A1c), thyroid function, inflammatory markers, and specialized tests when appropriate (such as food sensitivity testing or micronutrient panels).
How We Decide What to Recommend
Review of your intake: current diet, supplements, and symptoms
Medical and medication review: chronic conditions, recent diagnoses, medications that impact nutrient status
What You Can Expect
Clear rationale: For each recommended test, your dietitian will provide a short explanation, what is being tested, why it matters for your health, and how results could change your nutrition plan.
Physician-supervised ordering: Lab recommendations are made through Fullscript, our lab ordering partner. All labs are reviewed and signed off by a supervising physician before testing is ordered. We'll help identify which labs may be useful and guide you through the process.
Practical instructions: Where to get the test and whether fasting is required.
Follow-up plan: A review appointment to walk through your results from a nutrition perspective, in plain language, and translate findings into actionable nutrition and lifestyle steps.
Why This Matters to You
Efficiency: Targeted testing avoids trial-and-error approaches that can be costly and frustrating.
Tracking progress: Repeat testing over time shows whether an intervention is working, allowing adjustments without guessing.
Empowerment: Objective results provide clarity and often reduce anxiety about "not knowing." They turn symptoms into measurable targets.
Costs and Access
Testing is ordered through Fullscript, our lab ordering partner, with sign-off from a supervising physician. Fullscript testing is paid out of pocket and is not billed to insurance. Your dietitian will provide clear instructions and pricing to make the process as simple as possible.
Privacy and Collaboration
Your results are part of your medical information and will be handled confidentially. With your permission, your dietitian can coordinate with your primary care provider, endocrinologist, or other clinicians to ensure integrated care and appropriate medical follow-up.
Next Steps
If you're interested in pursuing personalized lab recommendations, schedule a dedicated appointment to review your history and goals and create a targeted testing plan. Once your labs are reviewed and signed off by our supervising physician and ordered through Fullscript, we'll meet to walk through the results and implement a stepwise nutrition and lifestyle plan based on what the labs reveal.
