Functional and Conventional Labs
A wide range of testing options, chosen based on your history and symptoms, not a default panel.
Functional and conventional labs ordered and interpreted through a naturopathic lens for Arizona telehealth patients. Dr. Chelsea Roodvoets, ND looks beyond standard reference ranges to find what’s actually going on.
Standard reference ranges are built to flag disease, not to define optimal health. Dr. Chelsea reviews functional and conventional lab work with that distinction in mind, looking at trends and patterns within your results, not just whether a number falls inside a wide normal range.
Lab testing at Aspire is used to build a clearer picture, not to generate a stack of numbers. Results are explained in plain language and connected directly to your treatment plan, so you understand what they mean for you specifically.
A wide range of testing options, chosen based on your history and symptoms, not a default panel.

Results feed directly into your treatment plan, whether that means nutrition, homeopathy, or a prescription.
Lab review and interpretation is included as part of your naturopathic visit. Aspire Naturopathic Medicine is a cash-pay practice, and superbills are available for out-of-network reimbursement.

Conventional labs are standard tests interpreted against wide reference ranges designed to catch disease. Functional lab interpretation looks at where your results sit within that range and how markers relate to each other, aiming to catch imbalances earlier.
Depending on the panel ordered, labs can typically be drawn at a local lab or draw site convenient to you, or completed with an at-home kit. Dr. Roodvoets will let you know what applies to your specific order.
