Our Root Cause Panel is the first step in your healing journey. By testing for these 9 biomarkers, we’re able to build a comprehensive view of your health and focus on the underlying factors contributing to your autoimmune symptoms.
We include C-Reactive Protein testing to assess the level of inflammation in your body, which can be indicative of various underlying conditions, including autoimmune diseases.
Inflammation is often closely connected to nutrition and other foundational health concerns like digestion, blood sugar, and fatty acid balance.
The CBC is included to evaluate your overall health and detect a variety of disorders, like anemia and infection, which can be symptoms of an autoimmune condition.
Imbalances in the CBC can often be related to underlying foundational needs with digestive health and function.
We test for Vitamin D levels to determine any deficiencies that may be affecting your immune system's effectiveness, as low levels can be linked to autoimmune diseases.
Vitamin D imbalances are often influenced by diet, digestion and fatty acid support.
This test helps us evaluate your average blood sugar levels over the past three months, allowing us to identify potential issues related to metabolic function or diabetes, which can be autoimmune in nature.
A glucose test is included to assess your body's ability to regulate sugar levels, as imbalances can be symptomatic of autoimmune-related metabolic issues.
We include a lipid panel to examine your cholesterol levels, which can offer insights into your cardiovascular health — a concern that's often secondary but relevant in autoimmune conditions.
Cholesterol levels and balance help us get a more comprehensive look at the inflammatory responses in your body and assess for what anti-inflammatory nutrients you might need from your diet.
Iron, Ferritin, and TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity)
These tests are included to assess your body's iron storage and utilization, which can be indicative of anemia or other conditions sometimes associated with autoimmune diseases.
Iron imbalances are often indicative of the need to support digestive healing and function.
The ANA test is included to identify the presence of antinuclear antibodies in your blood, which are commonly elevated in various types of autoimmune diseases.

Identify The Root Cause Of Your Symptoms
Our custom Root Cause Panel tests for nine biomarkers of autoimmune response. Coupled with a one-hour onboarding call, our team will help you identify what’s triggering your symptoms.
Often the result of long-term inflammation and depletion of nutrients, fatigue can be addressed by increasing your intake of protein and vegetables and creating a bedtime routine that supports a higher quality of sleep.
Inflammation can act as a signal to the brain to feel pain. One way to reduce those pain signals is to ingest more healthy fats and introduce a gentle movement routine to keep the joints from locking up.
Reduced mental clarity can greatly impact quality of daily life and make it difficult to execute tasks, think quickly, and function without easily forgetting details. Supporting the gut-brain barrier with anti-inflammatory foods, practicing mindful eating, and hydrating adequately can reduce or eliminate brain fog.
Often a sign that your body is not breaking down food efficiently or easily, digestive issues can be addressed by simply chewing your food more and consuming digestive aids like ginger to support stomach acid production.
Symptoms are a mechanism for our body to communicate with us, sharing that something is out of balance. Unexplained weight gain or loss can be a key indicator of hormonal imbalances in the body. Following a foundational diet that supports reseting and getting to the root cause of these imbalances is key for supporting long term hormonal health, as well as optimal weight for your body.
Experiencing headaches is a way our body is trying to share that something is out of balance. Supporting optimal hydration and achieving therapeutic vitamin and mineral levels can help alleviate headaches and replenish nutrient stores in the body.
Science says 80% of health starts with small choices we make every day.1 Our Care Team supports you in five key areas of influence including nutrition, sleep hygiene, stress management, movement, and your connection to self, others, and nature.
