Our Approach

Every patient begins with a conversation.

We take time to understand your health history, current concerns, lifestyle, nutrition, goals, and any previous laboratory work before deciding whether additional testing would be helpful. If functional laboratory testing is appropriate, we will explain why we are recommending it, what information it may provide, and how the results can help guide your care.

1. Conversation

We listen to your story before ordering any tests. Understanding your full picture helps us choose the right approach.

2. Testing

If testing is appropriate, we select the right labs for your situation — never a one-size-fits-all panel.

3. Personalized Plan

Dr. Long reviews your results with you in detail and creates a plan designed around your individual biology.

We believe testing should provide clarity, not confusion.

Functional Labs We Offer

Thoughtful testing options selected based on your individual health needs.

Gut Health Testing

The digestive system plays an important role in overall health. Healthy digestion supports nutrient absorption, immune function, inflammation regulation, and communication between the gut and the brain.

We offer the GI MAP from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory, an advanced stool analysis that evaluates the gut microbiome and other markers of digestive health when clinically appropriate.

Comprehensive Hormone Testing

Hormones influence energy, sleep, mood, metabolism, recovery, cognitive function, and reproductive health.

For patients who would benefit from a more comprehensive evaluation, we offer DUTCH Hormone Testing to better understand hormone production, hormone metabolism, and cortisol patterns. This testing may help us better understand hormone related symptoms while creating a more personalized treatment plan.

Advanced Wellness Testing

Every person's health story is unique.

Through Vibrant America, we offer specialty laboratory testing that may evaluate nutritional status, immune function, metabolic health, autoimmune markers, environmental exposures, and other advanced biomarkers when appropriate. These tests allow us to personalize recommendations based on your individual physiology rather than relying on generalized approaches.

Routine Laboratory Testing

Specialty testing is only one piece of personalized medicine.

We also utilize Quest Diagnostics for routine laboratory testing including:

  • Complete Blood Count
  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
  • Thyroid Function
  • Lipid Panel
  • Vitamin Levels
  • Blood Sugar
  • Inflammatory Markers
  • Iron Studies

Routine laboratory work often provides an excellent foundation before considering additional specialty testing.

Food Sensitivity Testing

Nutrition is highly personal.

For patients experiencing digestive concerns or symptoms that appear to be associated with certain foods, KBMO Food Sensitivity Testing may provide additional information that helps guide individualized nutrition recommendations and elimination strategies when appropriate.

Which Test Is Right For Me?

Every patient is different. Rather than ordering the same tests for everyone, we recommend laboratory testing based on your symptoms, health goals, and clinical history.
