When Your Body Feels Off, There's Usually a Reason
Sometimes you notice changes in how you feel, but routine testing does not offer clear answers. Energy may feel lower than it should. Digestion may feel inconsistent. Hormones or stress may feel harder to regulate. Advanced lab testing allows us to look a little deeper, so symptoms can be understood in context and care can move forward with more clarity and direction.

Functional Medicine Labs & Testing
Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
An advanced tool for discerning the cause of symptoms that include gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Biomarkers include those related to digestion/absorption, inflammation and its origin, full gut microbiome evaluation, parasitology and yeast culture. Multiple add-ons are available to test for such conditions are leaky gut and h.pylori.
Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Breath Test
Patient with IBS, IBD, celiac, diabetes, fibromyalgia, rosacea and weight control problems will benefit from the SIBO breath test. Our clinic uses the 3-hour lactulose breath test to discern the type, quantity and location of bacteria in the small intestine, which can then guide the treatment process.
Intestinal Permeability Assessment
Leaky gut, also known as intestinal permeability, is evaluated in people with chronic digestive symptoms, autoimmune disease and chronic dermatological conditions. This test directly measures the intestinal mucosa’s ability to absorb two sugar molecules through a urine measurement.
Food Sensitivity Testing (IgG/IgA)
This is the gold standard of analysis for food sensitivities—an immunological food sensitivity test looks at 96 different foods with regard to a patient’s level of chronic/delayed immune response. It is a helpful guide for patients with chronic digestive complaints. Too, food sensitivities have been found to profoundly affect almost every aspect of the physiology including the immune system, the skin, as well as mood and behavior.
Liver Detox Profile
The removal of toxins through the liver’s two pathways is essential to any thorough recovery from chronic illness. Through a urine screen, the efficacy of these pathways can be discerned by measuring two analytes: d-gluraric acid and mercapturic acid.
Complete Hormones
A comprehensive urinary hormone evaluation, this test is critical for both men and women suffering from problems related to male andropause or female menopause but also symptoms related to period irregularity, weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, low libido and mood disorders. Urine is a more comprehensive analysis for hormones and also allows us to see hormone breakdown, which is not available in blood or saliva.
Estrogen Metabolism Assessment
This test specifically measures the 2/16 estrogen ratio in the urine, which is helpful in gaining information around hormone-related cancer risk, insomnia, weight gain, fatigue, PCOS, low sex drive, estrogen dominance and menopause. Genomic add-ons for MTHFR, COMT and other markers add further insight.
CYCLE MAP Hormone Test
This 28-day urine test allows us to see the progression of hormone production throughout a menstrual cycle, giving key information about when in the month the body stops properly producing hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Useful for those with PCOS, infertility, painful periods, missed menstrual cycles and hormone-driven acne. Adrenal testing is available as an add-on.
Adrenal Stress Profile
The adrenal glands produce cortisol and DHEA, essential hormones to measure in those with stress-related health issues such as insomnia, fatigue, hormone imbalance, hypertension, fibromyalgia, weight gain, depression and anxiety. This test is a carefully timed series of saliva collections done during a 24-hour period.
The most comprehensive analysis of hormones uses urine to evaluate sex and adrenal hormones and their metabolites. This test also includes daily, free cortisol pattern, organic acids and melatonin.
Adrenal Stress Profile
The adrenal glands produce cortisol and DHEA, essential hormones to measure in those with stress-related health issues such as insomnia, fatigue, hormone imbalance, hypertension, fibromyalgia, weight gain, depression and anxiety. This test is a carefully timed series of saliva collections done during a 24-hour period.
Advanced Nutrients Evaluation (Organic Acid Testing)
In our patients engaged in the conception process, we use this test to look at a wide range of markers including: antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, malabsorption and dysbiosis markers, amino acids, essential fatty acids, neurotransmitter metabolites, toxin and detoxification markers, heavy metals and oxidative stress markers. It is one of our most comprehensive tests for uncovering the cause of chronic imbalance in the body and only requires a simple morning urine collection.
Food Sensitivity Testing (IgG/IgA)
This is the gold standard of analysis for food sensitivities—an immunological food sensitivity test looks at 96 different foods with regard to a patient’s level of chronic/delayed immune response. It’s helpful for patients with fertility issues because targeted elimination of food allergies leads to decreased overall inflammatory load.
Complete Hormones
A comprehensive urinary hormone evaluation, this test is critical for both men and women suffering from problems related to issues related to period irregularity, weight gain, anxiety, fatigue, low libido and mood disorders. Urine is a more comprehensive analyze for hormones and also allows us to see hormone breakdown, which is not available in blood or saliva.
Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
Because proper gut flora is essential for ease of conception, this is a powerful tool for those trying to get pregnant. Biomarkers include those related to digestion/absorption, inflammation and its origin, full gut microbiome evaluation, parasitology and yeast culture. Multiple add-ons are available to test for such conditions are leaky gut and h.pylori.
CYCLE MAP Hormone Test
This 28-day urine test allows us to see the progression of hormone production throughout a menstrual cycle, giving key information about when exactly in the month the body stops properly producing hormones such as estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. Useful for those with PCOS, infertility, painful periods, missed menstrual cycles and hormone-driven acne. Adrenal testing is available as an add-on.
Adrenal Stress Profile
The adrenal glands produce cortisol and DHEA, key hormones, which, when imbalanced, can create problems with acne. This test is a carefully timed series of saliva collections done during a 24-hour period.
Advanced Nutrients Evaluation (Organic Acid Testing)
In our patients suffering from skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea, we use this test to look at a wide range of markers including: antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, malabsorption and dysbiosis markers, amino acids, essential fatty acids, neurotransmitter metabolites, toxin and detoxification markers, heavy metals and oxidative stress markers.

I had a great experience with Dr. Maura! I had problems with eczema for more than 6 months and I tried all kind of creams, moisturizers and steroids and nothing really worked. Then I made an appointment with Dr. Maura, who helped me find out what was triggering my eczema, and helped me find a more permanent solution. I saw first results after 2 weeks already. It's been 3-4 months now and my eczema is almost completely gone! Thank you Dr. Maura!

After some stressful life events that impacted my health, I decided to seek naturopathic care and was recommended to see Dr. Stephenie Pisacano from Flora Naturopathics. My care has been top notch, and with her help I've been feeling so much better and truly enjoying the lifestyle and supplementation recommendations that she made for me. Her specialization in gut health in particular was so insightful for what I was going through, and I truly felt like she took great time and care in creating my protocol. The whole practice in general has been so easy to work with, from the online portal & scheduling, to coordinating with the office manager for tests, etc... highly recommend this practice!

I looked for a naturopathic doctor near me (NY) to get to the bottom of my GI issues (the usual nasty GI symptoms which I won't go into detail about, but for anyone who's had them, you know what I mean), which were also causing some serious secondary issues--namely food sensitivities (swollen face, itchy skin rashes, ugh). I I know a lot about conventional doctors because I've often seen elderly family members go to doctors & hospitals who prescribe too many prescription drugs. From their experiences, I learned a lot about the limitations and downside of conventional medicine.That's why I did not want to go to a conventional doctor because they know next to nothing about nutrition (they only receive 4 hours of training in nutrition during their entire medical education), and they usually know nothing at all about natural healing (because they've been programed to push pharmaceuticals). When I found Dr. Patel (the GI specialist in Dr. Maura's practice), right away in our first consultation (1 full hour), I had a good impression. Dr. Patel is eloquent and has an easygoing manner. He explained everything to me clearly and succinctly, answered all of my MANY questions, and then told me how to proceed. His office staff (Shellie) is delightfully easy to reach by phone. She is refreshingly efficient and has always responded to my calls and emails immediately and always to my complete satisfaction. Awesome! She gets 5 stars from me, too! So she sent me the kits for the 2 tests he prescribed (the poop test and saliva test, both which I could do from home), as well as all the materials I needed to send the tests to the various labs (packaging & mailing labels, which made it really easy for me). She also sent me the requisition for the blood test--for that I had to find and go to a lab--Dr. Patel recommended 3, and I used the one that was the least expensive). After he got the test results (after about 1 week), we had another consultation (1/2 hour) in which he identified and described the problems I had--I won't go into detail except to say that one of the issues was microbial parasites (yikes!), which I've since learned is quite common, maybe 50% of Americans have them, without knowing it--you can get them from contaminated food or water, so if you eat out a lot (like I used to) and you've got GI issues, you've probably got parasites! If you have any GI issues (such as frequent loose bowels), the FIRST thing you should do is to check for parasites. Conventional doctors rarely test for parasites. Go figure. I followed Dr. Patel's advice STRICTLY and felt much better within one week (i.e., no more GI distress). After one month, I felt completely cured, and after 3 months I felt great! Everyone tells me I look great, too! I keep getting compliments. His program is easy: he prescribed several natural supplements and a diet plan--that's all. Painless and without pharmaceuticals (prescription drugs always have nasty side effects, which is why I don't want to use them). Plus, from the test results (he's an experienced "lab guy" and interpreted those lab reports like Derek Jeter played shortstop--For those of you who don't know baseball, that means he's not just good, he's great at it), he identified OTHER potential health issues which up until then I had NO idea about (thyroid & blood sugar levels, yikes!), which I feel I've nipped in the bud, thanks to Dr. Patel! Another plus: Consultations were always very conveniently held via Zoom and on time--I absolutely despise having to waste my time in conventional doctors' waiting rooms--they never see you at at the scheduled time, but only when they're ready to see you. The only downside about any naturopathic doctor is that your health insurance provider may not pay for all or perhaps any of it. My advice: If you have the money, IT'S WORTH IT. You'll only have to do the program once. You heal, and you also learn about how to stay healthy. That is invaluable.

From my first short phone consultation with Dr. Moore, I knew she was going to be a provider that would help me with my problems. Her intake form is far more detailed than that of any previous physician I have met with. She is great at listening about your life as a whole, and connecting things that I have previously been unable to connect. Dr. Moore is a wealth of knowledge and has been fast to communicate with me when I have questions. After having Dr. Kellie on my team, I don't think I can ever go back to a normal health care provider. I look forward to working with her in the future!

Dr Maura Henninger was referred to me by my daughter who had been suffering from several stomach issues. She told me after working with her, she has felt better than she has in years.I’ve been struggling from Barrett’s esophagus for about eight months. After the diagnosis it’s been difficult finding a doctor that would help manage my constant pain until I started working with Dr. Henninger. She’s attentive, thoughtful, and tailors a program specifically to improve your health and well-being. Additionally, she is proactive when necessary, adjusting to the needs of each patient. After each consultation she provides a helpful summary that’s extremely important for future reference.I’m delighted to share this review, and I hope it can reach anyone in need of finding a doctor that will provide that personalized approach to help manage their medical situation.Now the majority of my days are pain free. I consider myself fortunate I found Dr. Henninger!

I can’t recommend Dr.Patel enough!! He is kind, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. He has helped me treat and manage my GI issues better than any other doctor I have worked with. He really listened to my symptoms and did some at home testing to find the root causes of my problems and treated them from there. He is very understanding of my abnormal lifestyle/schedule as a college student and has created a personalized treatment plan to work with my schedule. I have felt better than I have in a long time working with Dr. Patel and am so grateful for all of the work that he has done!
