Functional Lab Testing
Why You Should Choose Functional Lab Testing
At 3:6 Wellness Clinic, we take a root-cause approach to health. That’s why we offer advanced functional lab testing through Vibrant Wellness, a leader in precision diagnostics. These tests go beyond basic bloodwork to assess key areas such as gut health, food sensitivities, nutrient status, detoxification, hormone balance, and total toxic burden.
Functional lab testing helps us identify underlying imbalances and create personalized, data-driven care plans tailored to your body’s unique needs, whether you’re addressing fatigue, inflammation, hormone concerns, skin issues, or taking a proactive approach to long-term health.
Individual testing kits typically range from $300–$500, with bundled options often available from $800–$1,200 for a more comprehensive view of health. An initial office visit is required to determine appropriate testing, followed by a results appointment to review findings and recommendations. Below are the primary Zoomer tests from Vibrant Wellness, along with additional singular testing options.
Cardio Zoomer
A comprehensive cardiovascular panel that evaluates advanced markers connected to heart and vascular health. This test goes far beyond a standard cholesterol panel by looking at inflammation, oxidative stress, lipid subtypes, and other early indicators of cardiovascular dysfunction. It helps identify silent patterns that may contribute to fatigue, poor circulation, blood pressure changes, or long-term heart disease risk.
What this test can reveal:
Inflammatory or oxidative stress markers that may increase cardiovascular risk
Lipoprotein patterns (beyond LDL/HDL) that influence plaque formation
Metabolic factors that affect blood sugar, cholesterol balance, and vascular health
Early clues pointing toward endothelial stress or impaired circulation
We use these insights to create a personalized prevention plan focused on nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, and targeted support to improve cardiovascular wellness and reduce long-term risk.
Cellular Zoomer
What this test can reveal:
Markers of oxidative stress
Free radical damage indicators
Antioxidant capacity and balance
Cell membrane and DNA damage signals
Potential contributors to chronic inflammation
A comprehensive blood test that evaluates oxidative stress and cell-level damage. This test assesses markers of free radical activity and antioxidant function that can influence chronic illness, aging processes, and metabolic stress, often before symptoms or standard labs show abnormalities.
Results help guide personalized strategies including nutrition support, antioxidant therapy, lifestyle recommendations, and targeted supplementation to support cellular resilience.
Food Zoomer
A test that measures combined IgG/IgA antibody levels to various foods. The idea is to detect foods that might be provoking immune responses or chronic inflammation in you. Some people experience silent or low-grade inflammation triggered by foods that don’t show up on standard allergy panels. Identifying “reactive” foods can help calm the immune system, reduce symptoms (digestive, skin, migraines, fatigue), and support healing.
What this test can reveal:
Foods that may trigger immune reactivity
Patterns of food groups (e.g. dairy, gluten, nuts) causing reactivity
Opportunity for rotational diets or temporary elimination
We guide you through an elimination or rotation protocol, tracking symptom changes. We also monitor for nutritional adequacy (so the diet remains balanced). After a period, foods may be challenged or re-introduced slowly as you pay attention to your symptoms.
Foundation Zoomer
What this test can reveal:
Complete blood count patterns
Metabolic and nutrient markers
Liver and kidney function indicators
Blood sugar and insulin dynamics
Inflammation and lipid profile insights
Data informs targeted nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation plans to support metabolic balance, energy, immune resilience, and overall wellness.
A comprehensive blood test that assesses key markers of overall metabolic and systemic health. This panel evaluates critical components of blood chemistry and cell function to help uncover underlying imbalances that standard labs may miss.
Gut Zoomer
What it can reveal:
Presence of pathogenic bacteria, overgrowths, parasites, or opportunistic organisms
Diversity and abundance of beneficial microbes
Markers of inflammation (calprotectin, lactoferrin, etc.)
Indicators of gut barrier integrity
Digestive enzyme or fermentation imbalances
From your results, we may recommend targeted probiotics, prebiotics, antimicrobial or antifungal protocols, dietary modifications, gut-healing nutrients, and lifestyle support.
A comprehensive gut microbiome / stool test that looks at beneficial vs. pathogenic bacteria, yeast/fungi, parasites, markers of digestion, gut inflammation, intestinal permeability (leaky gut), and neurotransmitters. The gut is a key interface with nutrients, the immune system, and systemic health (mood, skin, autoimmunity). Imbalances in gut flora or barrier function often underlie broader health issues.
Hormone Zoomer
What it can reveal:
Sex hormone levels and balance (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, free & total)
Adrenal / cortisol rhythm (AM/PM, diurnal variations)
Estrogen metabolites (i.e. whether you're favoring “good” vs “bad” pathways)
Thyroid panel integration (often included)
Endocrine disruptors
We customize hormone balancing protocols including: adaptogens, herbs, nutrients, lifestyle timing (sleep, stress, exercise).
A deep endocrine panel assessing sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA), stress hormones (cortisol, adrenal markers), thyroid markers, and often hormone metabolites. Hormones orchestrate nearly every system in the body — metabolism, mood, immune, reproduction, energy. Imbalances can lead to fatigue, weight gain, PMS, menopause symptoms, brain fog, etc.
Immune Zoomer
What it can reveal:
Markers of systemic autoimmune activity
Immune reactivity affecting connective tissue and organs
Patterns linked to chronic inflammation
Contributors to fatigue, joint, skin, gut, or neurological symptoms
Early indicators of immune imbalance
Results help guide personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation strategies to support immune balance and reduce inflammatory stress.
A comprehensive blood test that evaluates immune system function and identifies patterns of antibody activity associated with systemic autoimmunity. This test provides insight into immune reactivity that may contribute to chronic inflammation, autoimmune responses, and multi-system symptoms, often before conventional labs detect a problem.
Neural Zoomer
What it can reveal:
Markers of neuroinflammation that may impact brain and nervous system function
Immune reactivity to neural tissues associated with autoimmune or inflammatory processes
Blood–brain barrier integrity, which plays a critical role in protecting the brain
Potential contributors to cognitive, mood, or neurological symptoms
Early indicators of neurological immune stress before advanced disease develops
Results help guide personalized care plans that may include nutrition support, lifestyle adjustments, targeted supplementation, and strategies aimed at reducing inflammation and supporting neurological resilience.
A comprehensive blood test designed to assess immune reactivity providing insight into potential neuroinflammation, blood–brain barrier integrity, and autoimmune responses affecting the nervous system.
Nutrient Zoomer
A lab test that measures intracellular levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and cofactors — going beyond serum levels alone. Blood plasma levels can remain “normal” even when functional stores inside cells are low.
What it can reveal:
Deficiencies or suboptimal levels of vitamins (B complex, A, D, K, E, C)
Mineral levels and trace elements (zinc, copper, selenium, magnesium, etc.)
Antioxidant capacity
Nutrient cofactors essential for enzymatic reactions
Vitamin-related genetic variants
We design customized micronutrient supplementation strategies, and adjust diet. Addressing hidden deficiencies can improve energy, immunity, mood, and detox support.
Toxin Zoomer
What it can reveal:
Levels of heavy metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, arsenic, etc.)
Organic toxins (such as phthalates, bisphenols, PCBs, pesticides)
Mycotoxins (in some panels)
Biomarkers of oxidative stress or detox overload
We prioritize detox support (phase I/II, glutathione, binders, chelation, sweating, lymphatic drainage) based on your specific toxin profile. We also advise on lifestyle changes to reduce future exposure (filters, diet, safer household products).
A comprehensive assessment of the body’s burden of environmental toxins — including heavy metals, organic pollutants, pesticide residues, mycotoxins, and other toxins. Chronic exposure to toxins can hinder detoxification systems, disrupt hormones, increase inflammation, and contribute to chronic illness. Understanding one’s toxic burden allows us to support clearance pathways effectively.
