About Laboratory Testing
Many people want to know how the advanced laboratory testing offered by Dr. Susan Sipay in Littleton, Colorado, works. Our comprehensive approach to lab testing involves testing, analysis and patient education. That means that we take time to interpret your results with you to empower you to choose treatment paths and lifestyle changes based on what your body is lacking.
We offer Geneva and Dutch testing at our office. Genova testing provides comprehensive testing for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a variety of complex chronic diseases. In addition to providing information regarding results in the areas of gastrointestinal/immunology, nutritional, endocrinology and genomics testing, Geneva testing can be an incredible resource for creating personalized plans for balancing your hormone levels for optimal health and function. Dutch testing uses urine analysis to provide a comprehensive assessment of a patient’s sex hormones, adrenal hormones and metabolites. Specialized panels can also be ordered to assess cortisol responses.
Why Is Professional Laboratory Test Analysis Important?
It’s not always easy to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms using just a physical. Many patients suffering from chronic stress, adrenal fatigue or hormonal imbalances experience symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, brain fog, muscle pain, mood changes and low libido. Identifying the specific imbalances or deficiencies responsible for these symptoms makes developing a custom treatment plan much easier. That means that patients can get on the road to feeling better, getting the body in balance and preventing disease much faster.
