Specialized laboratory testing for naturopathic medicine

Naturopathic Service

Special Lab Tests

Go beyond standard bloodwork. Dr. Ahaghotu uses advanced, specialized laboratory testing to uncover hidden imbalances, identify root causes of chronic illness, and guide precise, personalized treatment plans.

Precision Diagnostics

Why Specialized Lab Testing Matters

Conventional medicine typically relies on standard blood panels that screen for obvious disease markers. While valuable, these tests often miss the subtle imbalances and functional dysfunctions that drive chronic symptoms long before a diagnosable disease develops.

Naturopathic medicine takes a deeper look. Dr. Ahaghotu uses specialized functional and integrative laboratory tests that assess how your body is actually performing — evaluating hormone levels, nutrient status, gut microbiome health, toxic burden, genetic factors, and more.

The result is a comprehensive picture of your health that allows for targeted, evidence-based interventions — not guesswork. Every treatment recommendation at Royal Healing ND is grounded in objective data from your own body.

Diagnostic Panels

Specialized Tests We Offer

Comprehensive Hormone Panels

In-depth assessment of sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone), adrenal hormones (cortisol, DHEA), and thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, thyroid antibodies) to identify hormonal imbalances driving fatigue, weight gain, mood disorders, and reproductive issues.

  • Hemoglobin A1C & Insulin Resistance
  • Homocysteine & Inflammatory Markers
  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Gut Microbiome & Digestive Testing

Comprehensive stool analysis and intestinal permeability testing to evaluate the health of your gut microbiome, identify pathogens, assess digestive enzyme function, and detect leaky gut syndrome.

How It Works

Our Lab Testing Process

1

Initial Consultation

Dr. Ahaghotu reviews your health history, symptoms, and goals to determine which specialized tests will provide the most clinically relevant information.

2

Test Ordering & Collection

Tests are ordered through leading functional medicine labs. Most samples are collected at home (blood spot, saliva, urine, or stool) and mailed directly to the lab.

3

Results Review

Dr. Ahaghotu provides a thorough, plain-language review of your results — explaining what each finding means for your health and how it connects to your symptoms.

4

Personalized Treatment Plan

Based on your results, a targeted naturopathic treatment plan is developed — addressing identified imbalances with nutrition, botanicals, supplements, and lifestyle modifications.
