Your labs came back normal.
So why don't you feel like yourself?
Exhausted but wired. Anxious for no clear reason. Moody, foggy, not sleeping. Sometimes what feels like a mental health problem has a body behind it. Functional lab testing helps us look deeper, so your plan is built on information instead of guesswork.

Frequently asked questions
What is functional lab testing?
Functional testing looks at how your body's systems are working together, such as stress hormones, sex hormones, digestion, and brain chemistry, to find patterns that can affect energy, mood, and sleep. It complements, and does not replace, care from your medical doctor.
Do I need to come into the office?
No. You can meet with us in person at our Mission Valley office in San Diego or virtually by secure video. Kits are handed to you at your visit or shipped to your home, and every collection is done at home.
Is the lab fee included in the package price?
Yes. Each package price includes your consultation, the test kit, lab processing, and your results review. There's no separate bill from the lab.
Does insurance cover functional lab testing?
Functional lab packages are private-pay. Many clients use HSA or FSA funds; check with your plan administrator about eligibility.
How long do results take?
Most results are ready about two to four weeks after the lab receives your sample. We'll schedule your results review as soon as they arrive.
Can you test if I don't live in California?
Yes, our wellness and lab services are available virtually in most states. Testing is not available in New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, or Hawaii, and some tests have additional restrictions.
Is this the same as seeing my doctor?
No. These are wellness services that do not diagnose or treat disease. We encourage you to share your results with your primary care provider and to keep them involved in your care.
Can I combine testing with therapy?
Absolutely. Many clients pair testing with therapy at New Birth, because how you feel in your body and how you feel in your life are deeply connected.
