At Elixir and Wellness, a leading Scottsdale functional medicine clinic, we help patients move beyond temporary symptom relief and into true healing. Our approach combines advanced lab testing with personalized care plans to identify and treat the root cause of health concerns — not just the surface symptoms.


Why Choose Our Scottsdale Functional Medicine Clinic?


Conventional medicine often focuses on diagnosis and medication, relying on broad lab reference ranges that may overlook early dysfunction. In contrast, functional medicine testing in Scottsdale uses a precision-based model — seeking subtle imbalances and patterns that traditional labs might miss.


Instead of asking, What prescription fits this symptom?, we ask: Why is this happening in the first place?


Advanced Functional Lab Testing in Scottsdale


Our clinic specializes in a curated suite of functional medicine lab tests that offer deep insight into your body’s internal systems:


  • Comprehensive Stool Testing: Evaluates digestive health, microbiome balance, inflammation, parasites, yeast, and more.

  • DUTCH Hormone Test: Offers a full-spectrum view of hormone metabolism and adrenal function, ideal for uncovering hormone-related fatigue, anxiety, or cycle issues.

  • Food Sensitivity Testing: Helps uncover delayed immune responses that may be triggering chronic inflammation, skin issues, or digestive discomfort.

  • Mycotoxin (Mold) Testing: Detects mold exposure and biotoxin buildup that can contribute to brain fog, sinus issues, and immune dysfunction.

  • Heavy Metal Testing: Screens for toxic elements like mercury, lead, and arsenic that can affect your neurological and metabolic health.

  • Environmental Toxicant Testing: Identifies common chemical exposures (pesticides, plastics, industrial solvents) that can disrupt hormonal and detox pathways.


These functional labs are often the missing piece for patients who’ve been told “everything looks normal” but still feel far from well.


What Symptoms Can These Tests Help With?

Functional medicine lab testing can offer answers and direction for a wide range of issues, including:

  • Hormonal imbalances (low libido, irregular cycles, PMS, menopause)

  • Chronic bloating, IBS, or gut discomfort

  • Brain fog, anxiety, fatigue, or burnout

  • Resistant weight gain and slow metabolism

  • Autoimmune symptoms or chronic skin conditions

  • Mystery symptoms that haven’t responded to conventional care


If you're feeling stuck, our Scottsdale functional medicine testing can uncover the root cause and help you reclaim your vitality.


Are These Tests Covered by Insurance?


Most advanced functional medicine labs are not covered by traditional insurance, though we do accept HSA and FSA cards. We’re transparent with pricing and will guide you in selecting the most relevant tests for your goals and budget.


What Happens After Testing?


Once your lab results are back, we build a customized healing plan based on your unique biology. This may include targeted supplements, detox support, gut healing protocols, hormone rebalancing strategies, and personalized nutrition recommendations. The goal is to restore balance from the inside out — and help you feel better, naturally.
