Functional Lab Testing

We offer a wide variety of advanced functional medicine laboratory tests on-site. Some of our innovative testing options include:

1. Neuroinflammatory Markers & Brain Scan

Dr. Rudack is a certified member of the UCLA Buck Institute Alzheimer’s Reversal Program, led by Dr. Dale Bredesen—the only program proven to reverse Alzheimer’s disease.

Our blood tests include neurocognitive inflammatory testing and the newly released Brain Scan blood test, which detects the presence of three key brain biomarkers in the blood.

• These biomarkers may appear 20 to 25 years before symptoms of cognitive decline, allowing for early intervention to prevent or reverse Alzheimer’s disease.
• Brain Scan testing is a valuable diagnostic tool, particularly for individuals experiencing brain fog or those with a family history of Alzheimer’s or cognitive decline.

2. Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening

The Galleri blood test is an innovative cancer screening tool capable of detecting over 50 different types of cancer in their earliest stages—when proactive treatment can be most effective.

This test is not something to fear but rather a proactive approach to health, much like a colonoscopy is used for early cancer detection.

At Total Body Wellness Life Enhancement Center, we work alongside both conventional and integrative oncology to provide comprehensive care.

3. Functional Healthcare Labs

We collaborate with your insurance provider to order and perform lab draws on-site. These tests evaluate key health markers, including:

• Hormonal balance
• Inflammatory markers
• Cardiac health indicators
• Genetic markers affecting metabolic pathways, such as MTHFR and ApoE

4. Nutrient Status Evaluation

This test assesses critical metabolic pathways, including:

• Oxidative stress
• Mitochondrial function
• Methylation efficiency
• Omega fatty acid balance

Additionally, it evaluates the toxic burden of heavy metals, providing insight into detoxification capacity and potential health risks.

5. Gastrointestinal (GI) Testing

We offer a range of GI functional lab tests tailored to individual health concerns. These tests assist in diagnosing and treating conditions such as:

• Microbiome imbalances
• Leaky Gut Syndrome
• SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)
• IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome)

These advanced tests provide a clear understanding of the root causes of GI dysfunction, offering a path to restoring gut health naturally, rather than merely treating symptoms with medication.
