Why Advanced Lab Testing?
Do you ever feel like something is off in your body, but routine blood work comes back “normal”? You’re not alone. Many health concerns—like low energy, stubborn weight gain, digestive discomfort, mood swings, or brain fog—aren’t always detected by standard tests. The truth is, your body holds the answers—you just need the right tests to find them.
That’s where advanced lab testing comes in. These specialized tests go beyond basic screenings to uncover hidden imbalances affecting your hormones, gut health, metabolism, and more. At Higher Health in Toronto, we take a root-cause approach—helping you decode your body’s signals so you can finally get the answers you need to feel your best.

Types of Lab Tests We Offer
We offer comprehensive, functional lab tests that provide deep insights into your health. Here’s how they can help:
Hormone & Adrenal Testing (DUTCH Test)
Do you wake up feeling exhausted no matter how much sleep you get? Are mood swings, weight gain, or brain fog making daily life harder? Hormones control everything—from metabolism to stress response—and imbalances can leave you feeling stuck.
The DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides a detailed look at:
- Cortisol & Stress Hormones – Find out if stress is draining your energy.
- Estrogen, Progesterone & Testosterone – Uncover imbalances affecting mood, weight, and metabolism.
- Melatonin – Assess sleep quality and hormone regulation.
This test is ideal for anyone struggling with fatigue, PMS, menopause symptoms, or chronic stress.
Digestive & Gut Health Testing (GI 360 & GI MAP)
Do you feel bloated after meals, experience frequent digestive discomfort, or struggle with unexplained fatigue? Your gut health is key to overall wellness, and imbalances can impact everything from your immune system to your skin.
Our GI 360 and GI MAP tests provide an in-depth analysis of:
- Gut Microbiome Balance – Determines good vs. bad bacteria levels.
- Inflammation & Leaky Gut Markers – Identifies the root cause of digestive distress.
- Parasites, Yeast & Infections – Detects harmful pathogens affecting your health.
If you’ve been dealing with IBS, food sensitivities, or persistent bloating, this test can help you finally get relief.
Metabolic & Functional Health Testing (Organic Acid Test – OAT)
Feeling sluggish, mentally foggy, or struggling with unexplained health issues? Your body produces metabolic byproducts that reveal key insights into energy production, detoxification, and nutrient absorption.
The Organic Acid Test (OAT) evaluates:
- Mitochondrial Function – Uncovers energy production issues at a cellular level.
- Nutrient Deficiencies – Identifies missing vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
- Toxins & Yeast Overgrowth – Detects imbalances affecting metabolism and gut health.
If you’re constantly tired, dealing with brain fog or unexplained symptoms, the OAT test can help pinpoint the cause.
Heavy Metal & Toxin Screening
Toxins and heavy metals accumulate in the body over time, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation. If you’ve been exposed to environmental pollutants, processed foods, or certain medications, this test can reveal the impact on your health.
The Heavy Metal & Toxin Screening measures:
- Lead, Mercury & Arsenic Levels – Common toxins affecting the brain and nervous system.
- Detoxification Ability – Determines how efficiently your body removes toxins.
- Oxidative Stress & Inflammation – Key markers of toxic overload.
If you experience chronic fatigue, unexplained inflammation, or neurological symptoms, this test can help identify the root cause.
Nutritional Testing
Even if you eat a well-balanced diet, you might still have hidden nutrient deficiencies affecting your energy, immune system, and metabolism.
This test measures:
- Vitamin & Mineral Levels – Ensures optimal nutrient absorption.
- Antioxidant Status – Evaluates your body’s ability to fight oxidative stress.
- Amino Acids & Fatty Acids – Essential building blocks for overall health.
If you’re struggling with low energy, poor immunity, or slow recovery from workouts, a nutritional test can optimize your health plan.
Genetic Testing
Want to understand your body at the deepest level? Genetic testing unlocks personalized insights about how your genes influence your health, metabolism, and disease risk.
This test analyzes:
- Nutrigenomics – How your body processes nutrients and responds to different diets.
- Metabolism & Weight Management – Insights into how your genes affect fat storage and energy use.
- Detoxification Pathways – How efficiently your body removes toxins.
- Exercise & Recovery Response – Understand how your body builds muscle and recovers from workouts.
If you want truly personalized health insights, genetic testing can provide a roadmap tailored specifically to you.
Who Should Get Tested?
Have you been feeling “off” but can’t quite put your finger on why? Maybe you’ve chalked it up to stress, aging, or a busy schedule—but deep down, you know something isn’t right. If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to take a deeper look:
✅ You feel exhausted all the time, no matter how much rest you get.

✅ You suspect food sensitivities but can’t pinpoint what’s causing issues.
