Lab Services
Junction Naturopathic Medicine can order a wide array of lab testing, both conventional and functional. Naturopathic doctors interpret conventional lab parameters within a context of an “optimal range” within a frequently very wide “normal range”. Functional laboratory work provides a deeper understanding of how different organ systems are functioning. Our goal is to optimize your health, and testing helps to guide us.
