Lab Testing & Interpretation
Standard lab work often stops at "normal," even when you don't feel normal. We go further, using functional lab testing to look at what's actually happening beneath the surface, from hormones and metabolic markers to nutrient levels and inflammation, so nothing gets missed just because it falls within a broad reference range. More importantly, we take the time to actually explain what your results mean, connecting the dots between your labs and how you feel, so you leave with real understanding instead of a stack of numbers and no context. This is where the guesswork stops and your personalized plan actually begins.
WHAT WE ASSESS AND TREAT:
● Functional lab panels (Rupa, Quest, Precision Analytical)
● DUTCH hormone testing
● GI‐MAP + stool testing
● Metabolic panels + inflammatory markers
● Personalized lab interpretation + action plan
● Direct‐to‐consumer lab guidance + education
● MaxGen Labs for genetic reports

Functional lab panels
Not all labs give you the full picture, so we work with a range of specialty lab partners depending on what we're trying to understand about your body. This means we're not limited to a single testing company or a narrow set of markers, we can pull the right panel for the right question, whether that's a broad functional workup or something highly specific to your symptoms. The goal is always accuracy first, choosing the lab and panel that will actually answer what we need to know.
DUTCH hormone testing
DUTCH testing gives us a detailed, time-stamped view of your hormones and how your body is metabolizing them throughout the day, something a standard blood panel simply can't capture. This is especially valuable for understanding cortisol patterns, sex hormones, and how your body is processing stress and hormonal shifts. It's one of the most useful tools we have for connecting your symptoms to what's actually happening hormonally.
GI-MAP and stool testing
Your gut plays a bigger role in your mood, immune function, and overall health than most people realize, and problems there often go undetected for years. GI-MAP testing gives us a detailed look at your gut microbiome, including imbalances, pathogens, and markers of inflammation or digestive dysfunction. This helps us understand whether gut health is a hidden contributor to what you've been experiencing, and gives us a clear target for treatment if it is.
Metabolic panels and inflammatory markers
Metabolic dysfunction and chronic inflammation often build quietly for years before showing up as a diagnosis, and standard labs don't always catch them early. We run targeted panels to assess how your metabolism is functioning and whether inflammation is playing a role in your symptoms, giving us the information we need to intervene early rather than waiting for a problem to become severe.
GI-MAP and stool testing
Your gut plays a bigger role in your mood, immune function, and overall health than most people realize, and problems there often go undetected for years.

This helps us understand whether gut health is a hidden contributor to what you've been experiencing, and gives us a clear target for treatment if it is.
Personalized lab interpretation and action plan:
Getting your labs back is only half the equation, understanding what they actually mean for you is the part that's often missing. We walk you through your results in plain language, connect them to how you've been feeling, and build a clear action plan based on what we find. You'll never be left with a stack of numbers and no explanation.
Every plan is built around your specific results, history, and goals, not a generic protocol for similar numbers. This might mean targeted supplements, dietary shifts, further testing, or adjusting an existing treatment plan. As your body changes over time, we revisit your results together and adjust the plan accordingly.
Direct-to-Consumer Labs:
Most people only think of lab testing as something that happens after a doctor's visit, ordered through insurance, on someone else's timeline. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) labs work differently. These are labs you can order yourself, without needing an appointment first, so you can get a clear picture of what's happening in your body on your own schedule.
This is about giving you more access to your own information, not replacing the value of working with a provider. Once you have your results, that's exactly where working with Jennifer and Jay matters most, they can help you actually understand what they mean and what to do next.
More Ways to Access Your Own Health Information
Jennifer can order labs directly as part of your ongoing care, and she accepts insurance as a primary provider. Jay works alongside her on the nutrition and metabolic side, translating those labs into a plan you can actually live with. This route works well if you want an established relationship with a team managing your care over time.
As your provider:
You can also order select labs on your own, outside of insurance, without needing a visit first. This is a good fit if you already know what you're looking for, or you want to explore before committing to ongoing care.
Either way, you're the one deciding how involved you want a provider to be. That's the point. Healthcare doesn't have to be one path for everyone.
Direct-to-consumer:
A quick note: due to state regulations, direct-to-consumer lab ordering isn't available to residents of New York, New Jersey, or Rhode Island. This applies to the self-service labs specifically, if you're an established patient working with Jennifer and Jay directly, labs can still be ordered as part of your care regardless of where you live.
