Functional test, evaluations, and assessments:
- Live Cell Analysis Using a specialized Dark Field microscope, a blood sample is evaluated for nutritional status, free radical damage to cells, toxicity levels and other considerations.
- Food Allergy Profiles This test uses a blood specimen to evaluate the immune system’s response to foods. Food that activate an immune response cause an interference with normal physiological function and can be related to a wide variety of symptoms and health conditions.
- Great Smokies Diagnostic Laboratories Dr. Wrigley works closely with Great Smokies Labs, as they have pioneered and lead the field in functional health assessment.
