Specialty Testing FAQ – Essence Integrative Care (Virtual Only)

What is functional medicine lab testing?

Functional medicine lab testing looks deeper than standard labs to uncover the root causes of symptoms. These specialty tests examine gut health, nutrient absorption, hormone balance, toxins, food sensitivities, and more—helping us create a truly personalized health plan.

Can I do all these tests from home?

Yes! All of our specialty tests are designed for easy at-home collection. We mail test kits directly to your home, with clear instructions and pre-paid return shipping. No in-person office visit required.

How do I receive my test results?

Once your results are ready, you’ll meet virtually with Tiffany Turner, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, FMACP via secure telehealth. She’ll review your findings, answer your questions, and create your customized action plan.
