Comprehensive blood work is above and beyond standardized testing.
Comprehensive blood work refers to an evaluation through blood that is above and beyond standardized testing offered through your conventional medical doctor (and OHIP). Results can be used as a measure and an alert of your overall health. Results may illuminate and detect imbalances in organ function and may facilitate the detection of heart disease, diabetes, cancer and/or autoimmunity.
Why go beyond standardized testing?
Treating imbalances before they become complicated problems is our objective. When possible, we address dissonance before it becomes a disease. Proactive health care offers the increased potential for optimal health and longevity. The benefit of comprehensive blood work as disease prevention is paramount to you living your best life.
Do you feel tired and burnt out and have been told that everything is “normal”? Our condition specific panels can reveal abnormalities that are not detected on standardized blood work and can help explain why you are feeling the way you are. With specific answers, we can offer specific and targeted treatments to get your health back on track.
Cost, results & follow up
Privatized blood work ordered by a naturopathic doctor is not covered by OHIP. The cost of blood work ranges depending on what tests are ordered as part of your panel. Most blood tests ordered from your GP/MD and/or nurse practitioner will be covered by OHIP.
Our team feels it is important that you understand your own health and physiology. We will always review your blood work with you and explain the results. Our hope is to empower you with knowledge about your body and your health.
In some cases, our practitioners will order follow up blood work every few months. This allows your practitioner to assess how treatments are working for you and the progress you are making.
When your health is stable or even optimal, blood work testing is typically ordered once yearly as a reassessment and a comparison.
