Get answers about your health instead of guessing what’s wrong. At Roots Wellness, we use lab testing to check vitamin levels, hormones, cortisol patterns, toxins, and other biomarkers, helping your provider understand your symptoms and recommend personalized care.
Uncover What’s Really
Going on in Your Body
Labs and testing help us understand what’s happening inside your body instead of relying on symptoms alone. At Roots Wellness, we use blood, saliva, and urine tests to check vitamin deficiencies, hormone levels, cortisol patterns, heavy metal exposure, and other important health markers. Your provider reviews these results alongside your symptoms and medical history to spot imbalances and create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your body’s needs, rather than simply managing how you feel.
Labs & Testing Help Identify:
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Hormonal imbalances
- Thyroid function abnormalities
- Abnormal cortisol levels and daily patterns
- Blood sugar and insulin regulation concerns
- Metabolic health imbalances
- Elevated inflammation markers
- Heavy metal exposure and certain toxins
- Nutritional deficiencies affecting energy and wellness
- Biomarker abnormalities associated with chronic health concerns
Types of Labs & Tests We Offer
Vitamin Deficiency Testing
Feeling tired, foggy, or just not quite yourself? Vitamin deficiency testing checks for essential nutrients such as vitamins D and B12 to see whether low levels could be affecting your health. Your provider uses these results to recommend targeted nutritional support.
Functional Lab Analysis
Sometimes, standard blood work doesn’t tell the whole story. Our functional lab analysis takes a closer look at hormones, thyroid function, metabolism, and other health markers to help your provider understand potential imbalances and develop a personalized wellness plan.
Biomarker Testing
Your body leaves clues about how it’s functioning, and biomarkers help us read them! We measure important health indicators, including blood sugar, cholesterol, and inflammation markers, to better understand your health, identify concerns, and track changes over time.
Diurnal Cortisol Testing
Cortisol naturally rises and falls throughout the day, helping regulate your body’s daily rhythms. Through saliva samples collected at different times, we measure your diurnal cortisol pattern to investigate concerns related to stress responses, energy levels, and hormonal function.
Heavy Metal and Toxin Testing
Concerned about exposure to heavy metals or environmental toxins? Our at-home urine testing measures certain substances to help assess potential exposure. Your provider reviews your results alongside your health history to determine whether further evaluation is appropriate.

FAQs
How Do I Know Which Lab Tests I Need?
You don’t have to figure that out yourself! Your provider starts by reviewing your symptoms, medical history, and wellness goals. From there, they’ll recommend a customized lab panel to investigate potential imbalances and help you better understand your health.
Can I Complete Any of My Tests at Home?
Absolutely! Some tests, including diurnal cortisol saliva testing and certain heavy metal and toxin urine tests, can be completed at home. You’ll receive instructions for collecting your samples and sending them to the laboratory for analysis.
What Happens After I Receive My Lab Results?
Your provider will walk you through your results during your consultation, explaining what the numbers mean and how they relate to your symptoms. Based on the findings, you may receive recommendations for nutrition, supplements, medication, or other personalized treatments.
How Often Should I Get My Labs Tested?
That depends on your health concerns, treatment plan, and initial results. Your provider may recommend follow-up testing to see how your body responds to treatment and whether adjustments are needed. Not every test needs to be repeated regularly.
