At Optimal Health & Wellness optimization testing, we have access to and provide advanced diagnostic laboratory tests from blood tests to body and brain scanning. These tools are very helpful in allowing us to reach the underlying cause of your disease, as well as helping us to draw up an individualized treatment approach. Many of these tests can be covered by your PPO insurance. This is a partial list of the types of testing we offer.
Vibrant Wellness lab testing offers a wide variety of testing from functional lab testing, hormones, Lyme testing, mycotoxin/mold testing, micronutrient testing, intestinal barrier assessment, blood-brain barrier assessment, gut microbiome testing, SIBO testing, food sensitivities, and more.
The PULS Cardiac Test is a simple, non-invasive blood test that uses 9 protein biomarkers to identify individuals with active, yet undetected subclinical Coronary Heart Disease (the “vulnerable patients”) who are at risk of experiencing an acute coronary event due to endothelial damage leading to unstable lesion rupture, and in whom early intervention can help. It is a simple blood test that detects the leading cause of heart attacks: Unstable cardiac lesion rupture.
Genova Diagnostics offers advanced speciality testing including comprehensive nutrient evaluation, gastrointestinal testing, environmental testing, and more.
The GI-MAP (GI Microbial Assay Plus) stool test utilizes cutting edge, Quantitative PCR technology to provide a true DNA/PCR based stool test. This technology has high sensitivity, specificity and a rapid turnaround. The GI pathogens include bacteria, parasites and viruses. Continuing with this platform, the GI-MAP measures opportunistic organisms, normal flora, fungi, parasites and antibiotic resistance genes. And the Plus refers to immunologic markers for GI health and function including SIgA, Elastase, Calprotectin and Anti-gliadin testing.
Doctor’s Data labs are used to evaluate heavy metal levels, minerals, drinking water analysis, gastrointestinal health, and more.
The Great Plains Laboratory, Inc. is a world leader in providing testing for metabolic, genetic, mitochondrial, and environmental factors in chronic illnesses. They offer a variety of state-of-the-art metabolic and genetic tests such as the Organic Acids Test, GPL-TOX (Toxic Non-Metal Chemical Profile), IgG Food Allergies Test, and the newest test the GPL-Mycotox Profile for screening mold.
SpectraCell offers a comprehensive micronutrient test with antioxidants and testing for telomere length.
Cyrex™ is a Clinical Immunology Laboratory Specializing in Functional Immunology and Autoimmunity. Cyrex™ offers multi-tissue antibody testing for the early detection and monitoring of today’s complex autoimmune conditions.
DNA Connexions performs targeted genetic testing to identify inherent conditions and foreign DNA and provide necessary information to healthcare providers for treatment. Foreign bacterial, viral and fungal and parasitic microbes can be identified from root canal, cavitation, implants and other oral samples. DNA Connexions offers a Lyme panel that checks for the DNA of the organisms. The test uses primers which are specific for the genes of the Borrelia burgdorferi flagella, outer surface protein A, B and C. A positive test result for any of these 4 genes indicates the presence of the Lyme organism. Testing of common Lyme co-infectors (other tick-transmitted organisms) indicates likely infection with the Lyme spirochete as well. DNA Connexions currently tests for Babesia divergens, Babesia duncani, Babesia microti, Bartonella bacilliformis, Bartonella henselae, Bartonella quintana, Borrelia miyamotoi, Borrelia recurrentis, and Ehrlichia chaffeensis and Anaplasma phagocytophilum.
Cologuard is a simple non-invasive stool test that allows you to screen for colon cancer from the comfort of your home. Cologuard uses a special kind of technology that’s quite innovative. It’s called sDNA (stool DNA) technology and it detects cancer and highest-risk precancers. It makes Cologuard the most accurate, noninvasive colon cancer screening test that you can rely on.

Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test
The Galleri multi-cancer early detection test detects more than 50 types of cancer, many of which are not commonly screened for today. With a simple blood draw, the Galleri test provides early detection insights that help you be proactive about your health.
Exosome DX
The ExoDx™ Prostate Test. A standalone, exosome-based prostate cancer test delivering a unique data point to help guide the prostate biopsy decision. The ExoDx Prostate test has been included in the NCCN Guidelines since 2019 for early detection of prostate cancer. The ExoDx Prostate test is independent of PSA and other standard of care (SOC) information.
LRA tests are documented to help people heal and be resilient under stress. LRA by ELISA/ACT, CLIA certified since 1984, provides the most accurate, helpful, comprehensive delayed ‘hidden’ allergy ex vivocell cultures. Russell M. Jaffe, MD, Ph.D., CCN, NACB developed the patented LRA tests, enabling thousands of physicians to quickly and precisely determine the hidden causes of many chronic conditions and help their patients find sustained relief. By looking directly at lymphocytes, the LRA detects all 3 types of delayed food and chemical hypersensitivities to as many as 512
items.
