We use targeted functional lab testing and in-depth assessment to help identify what's actually driving your symptoms, rather than guessing or managing them in isolation. Below is an overview of the testing and modalities offered, along with the concerns we most often help clients navigate.
Curious whether this is the right fit for you? Book a Clarity Call to talk it through.
GI-MAP Stool Testing A single-collection stool test through Diagnostic Solutions that uses quantitative PCR technology to identify pathogens, parasites, bacteria, fungi, and viral markers in the gut microbiome. It also screens for H. pylori, dysbiotic bacteria, potential autoimmune triggers, and key intestinal health markers. This is one of our most used tests because it reveals so much about the connection between gut health, immune function, and hormonal balance.
Organic Acids Testing (OAT) Available through both the Mosaic and KBMO platforms. A urine test that looks at metabolic byproducts to assess nutrient status, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter balance, and markers of yeast or bacterial overgrowth. Often used alongside GI-MAP testing to build a fuller picture of gut and metabolic health.
Comprehensive Blood Panel Our custom blood panel goes far beyond what a standard doctor's visit typically orders. We analyze markers across thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, iron status, inflammation, nutrients, and more. We interpret everything through functional ranges rather than conventional ranges. This means we're looking for patterns and imbalances before they become a diagnosis.
Panel includes: CBC with differential and platelets, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, CRP and hs-CRP, GGT, Hemoglobin A1c, Insulin, Blood Glucose, Homocysteine, full iron panel, Lipid Panel, full thyroid panel (TSH, Total and Free T3 and T4, Reverse T3, TPO and TGB Antibodies), Uric Acid, and Vitamin D.
Custom blood panels are also available.
Hormone & DUTCH Testing A range of hormone testing options, including the DUTCH Test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones), which assesses estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol patterns, and their metabolites. Several DUTCH panel variations are available depending on what we're looking to assess, and hormone status can also be evaluated through blood testing when that's the better fit. Used to assess hormonal imbalance, cycle irregularities, stress response, and perimenopause or menopause-related concerns.
HTMA (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) — for People, Horses, and Dogs A mineral and heavy metal screening using a small hair sample, used to assess mineral status, imbalances, and heavy metal burden, along with patterns that reflect how the body is handling stress over time. Offered for human clients as well as equine and canine companions.
Urine Mycotoxin Testing This test screens for mycotoxins from mold, heavy metals, and a wide range of environmental toxins, including glyphosate, parabens, herbicides, pesticides, phthalates, and BPA. This is one of the most comprehensive toxin screens available and is often the test that finally explains symptoms that nothing else has been able to account for.
Food Sensitivity Testing Available through either the MRT176 or KBMO test, both of which assess reactivity across a broad range of foods to help identify items that may be contributing to inflammation, digestive symptoms, or other unresolved issues.
Muscle Testing An assessment technique that uses gentle manual muscle testing to gather additional information about how your body may be responding to specific foods, supplements, or other stressors. Muscle testing is used as one input alongside your health history and lab testing, not as a stand-alone tool, to help guide and personalize your protocol.
Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire An in-depth questionnaire examining a wide range of stressors on the body. Used in conjunction with your history and functional testing to help identify patterns and get closer to the root of what's driving your symptoms.
Gut Health Bloating, irregular digestion, food sensitivities, gut dysbiosis, and post-antibiotic or post-infection gut disruption.
Hormonal & Thyroid Health Irregular or painful cycles, PMS/PMDD, perimenopause and menopause symptoms, autoimmune thyroid conditions, and hormone imbalance at any life stage, including preconception planning.
Environmental Toxin & Mold Illness Mold and mycotoxin exposure, biotoxin illness, and unexplained chronic symptoms following time in a water-damaged environment, including cases where the exposure wasn't previously known or suspected.
Blood Sugar & Metabolic Health Blood sugar dysregulation, PMOS, energy crashes, sugar and carbohydrate cravings, and early metabolic concerns.
Pediatric & Neurodevelopmental Support Digestive issues, skin conditions, and nutritional support for children with autism and other neurodevelopmental differences.
"Working with Nicole Flynn Nutrition has been an amazing experience! I came to Nicole feeling frustrated and uncomfortable with persistent gut health issues that doctors hadn’t been able to resolve, and she truly helped me get to the root of the problem with personalized, compassionate care and knowledgeable guidance. Nicole takes the time to listen, explains everything clearly, and creats a nutrition and lifestyle plan tailored specifically to my needs and lifestyle. Since working with her, my digestion has improved dramatically, my energy is up, and I finally feel in control of my health again. Her knowledge, expertise, compassion, and support make all the difference, and I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone struggling with gut issues or chronic symptoms."
"Our teenage daughter had been struggling with chronic stomach pain, and working with Nicole was truly transformative. She thoughtfully guided us through appropriate testing to help identify the root cause of her symptoms, and then explained the results in a clear, compassionate, and easy-to-understand way. Nicole made practical, meaningful recommendations that addressed the issue rather than just masking symptoms with traditional meds. Her holistic approach to wellness was a complete game changer for our daughter. She now has a much deeper understanding of how nutrition impacts her overall health and has gained tools and knowledge that will benefit her for a lifetime."
"Nicole is simply wonderful! She is so knowledgeable and thorough in making sure she understands your goals and struggles with nutrition and overall health. She asks all the right questions to ensure a full understanding of where you are and where you want to be. It is apparent she loves what she does, and really enjoys creating real change in the wellness of others. She's proactive and follows up regularly.
I am so glad I reached out to her and look forward to having her along my journey! I highly recommend her!"
