What is DAT?

Direct Access Testing is a helpful way for people to take control of their health by letting them order their own lab tests. 

This approach removes the need for an initial physician's order or prescription. People have the freedom to handle their own testing decisions.

Such direct access testing online have multiple benefits:

• Convenience: There’s no need for a doctor’s appointment to order tests.

• Self-management: People can track their health between visits to the doctor.

• Privacy: It’s a discreet solution for managing sensitive health issues.

• Cost-effectiveness: In some cases, it can be a more affordable option than traditional testing.

• Early detection: It encourages proactive monitoring of health.

Why Are These Tests Important?

Functional medicine is a broad and personalized approach to health. The focus is on getting to the bottom of what causes the illness and not just its symptoms. 

The latter approach is credited to traditional methods, while functional medicine tries to understand factors like genetics, lifestyle, environment, and emotional health that may be affecting a person’s well-being.

Doctors practicing functional medicine take these aspects into account to create a care plan that fits each individual’s special circumstances and health goals. They rely on detailed lab testing that can identify subtle biochemical or functional imbalances. 

With functional lab tests, doctors can spot the early warning signs of dysfunction and intervene sooner.

Functional medicine labs cover areas such as mental health, hormonal imbalance, environmental toxins, gut health, nutrition, and food sensitivity tests. 

A Holistic Approach to Bridge Gaps in Traditional Labs

Functional testing concerns a group of labs that diagnose specific aspects of human health. These labs analyze samples such as blood, stool, urine, saliva, and hair to measure biomarkers that traditional labs typically do not check. This gives a complete view of a person’s health status.

A reference range conveys a set of values with established upper and lower limits for a specific test. Functional labs and holistic labs depend on different reference ranges to classify health states as normal, optimal, or pathologic. 

Traditional reference ranges are usually derived from the average of a large population. This is so even if the group mainly includes unhealthy individuals. These ranges may be wide and definitely helpful in identifying diseases but less practical for individuals who want to support their health proactively. 

To address this gap, functional medicine labs use optimal reference ranges. This gives a more precise understanding of a person's health before any disease is clearly detectable on standard lab tests.

Why should you try functional lab testing?

• It helps spot imbalances early on, even before they show up as clinical symptoms.

• Encourages targeted and personalized treatment plans based on individual needs become achievable.

• It’s possible to monitor progress over time and make adjustments to interventions as needed.

• It gives a more thorough understanding of how different body systems interact with one another.
