Lab Testing: Questions and answers

Why are you doing this?
We want you to have access to information to help you understand exactly what is going on in your body. We want you to have confidence that you are making the best possible buying decisions rather than just guessing at what you need.

 

How does this work? Can I do this without visiting a doctor?
On Caring Sunshine, order tests just like you order any other product. After you place an order a test, you will schedule a short consult with our ND.

After the consult, the test specimen collection kit will be mailed to you. You will collect the specimen in your home and send the test collection kit back.

The lab will analyze your specimen (within two weeks) and send you your results.

 

What is the quality of these tests?
These are professional-grade tests that are not available to the general public. They have to be administered through our ND.

 

Do I get support from the ND regarding interpreting the results?
Yes. In fact, these tests require an initial consult with our ND, and she will also schedule an extended session to review your results (optional but recommended). These consults are included in the prices of the tests.

 

Why are these tests expensive?
Professional testing can be expensive. Here are two things that drive up the costs:
* The lab processing costs themselves
* The ND administration of the tests along with the initial consult and the followup consult to interpret the results.

Recuerde: Caring Sunshine makes our ND available to you at no cost for 15-minute zoom consults. If you have questions about testing (or anything else health-related), take advantage of this free resource.

 

Do you take insurance?
At present, we do not. However, if that is something that is of interest to you, please let us know.
