It can be frustrating to feel like something is off with your health, only to receive “normal” blood test results from your doctor. Unfortunately, this experience is all too common due to the limitations of traditional blood testing. In many cases, people start experiencing symptoms before their blood test markers show any abnormalities.
Just because your results are considered “normal” doesn’t necessarily mean that they reflect what’s truly optimal or healthy for you. This is where functional blood chemistry analysis comes in. By examining a wider range of markers, we can gain a more comprehensive understanding of your unique health story and identify any imbalances or deficiencies that could be impacting your well-being.
With this knowledge, we can develop a personalized plan to help you achieve your health and wellness goals. By addressing the underlying causes of any issues, rather than just treating symptoms, you can feel more in control of your life and enjoy a greater sense of vitality and well-being.
Your aim should not be to achieve normal, but rather to reach an optimal state of health.
Blood tests are a common diagnostic tool used to assess a person’s health. However, the results of these tests may not always provide a full picture of a person’s well-being. In fact, many people who feel unwell may have “normal” results on a blood test, despite experiencing symptoms or a sense of unwellness. This is because the reference ranges used in traditional blood testing are often based on statistical averages, rather than individualized health goals or optimal function. As a result, the interpretation of conventional blood tests may miss early warning signs of health problems.
That’s why it’s important to look beyond the traditional reference ranges and take a more personalized approach to blood testing. By analyzing your blood chemistry in a more comprehensive way, we can identify imbalances and potential areas of concern before they progress to a diagnosable disease.
So if you’re feeling unwell and traditional blood tests aren’t providing the answers you need, don’t give up hope. A more personalized and comprehensive approach to blood testing may be just what you need to uncover the root of your health concerns and make positive changes for optimal wellness.
Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis (FBCA) is a cutting-edge approach to blood testing that provides a proactive way to manage your health. Unlike traditional blood tests that use generic reference ranges, FBCA utilizes “functional” ranges that are based on what’s considered optimal for a healthy body. By analyzing blood chemistry through this lens, FBCA can detect sub-clinical health problems and identify disease risk long before symptoms arise.
Early detection means that you can take action to prevent health problems from becoming full-blown diseases. With the right diet and lifestyle interventions, you can appropriately manage your health and avoid the need for costly and invasive medical treatments down the line.
Yet another advantage of FBCA is that it enables you to monitor the progress of your physiological indicators and track your risk for potential health issues over time. Through comparing results from previous tests, you can assess how your wellbeing is advancing and evaluate the effects of any efforts made towards optimizing your wellbeing.
Overall, FBCA is one of the most valuable, efficient, and cost-effective screening tools available for evaluating the status of your health and susceptibility to disease. With FBCA, you can take control of your health and make informed decisions to optimize your well-being.
FBCA offers a comprehensive analysis of various physiological systems and processes in the body, allowing you to monitor changes and progress over time. Some of the areas of information provided by FBCA include:
FBCA, or functional blood chemistry analysis, can offer many benefits and can be a valuable tool to help you gain deeper insights into your overall health. Whether you’re dealing with a persistent health issue or just want more information to make informed decisions, FBCA can provide an array of advantages.
Here are some common reasons why FBCA may be right for you:
Overall, FBCA is a powerful tool that can help you take control of your health and wellbeing. Whether you’re looking to prevent health issues or address existing concerns, FBCA can provide a wealth of valuable information to help you achieve your goals.
Another option is to order an affordable blood test directly and have it administered at one of the 2,500 labs located throughout the United States. If you need assistance selecting a test, feel free to reach out to us for guidance.
Once you receive your test results, share a copy of the report via email with the practitioner conducting the analysis.
As soon as we have received all of the necessary results and completed the analysis, we will send your comprehensive FBCA report via email within 48 to 72 hours.

If you want to get the most out of your FBCA report, we recommend testing as many blood markers as possible. FBCA can analyze over 125 biomarkers to provide a comprehensive analysis of your body’s biochemistry. For best results, we suggest asking your healthcare provider to run the following panels:
Yes, anyone from anywhere in the world can request a Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis. All you need is a recent blood test that has been taken within the last three months. The more markers that are included in the analysis, the more thorough and informative the results will be. So, we encourage you to include as many markers as possible to get the most out of the analysis.
Your Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis report is a comprehensive document that covers several sections, including:
Our analysis can include a comprehensive list of biomarkers, which consists of the following markers, including 8 functional ratios that are automatically calculated:
The list includes Active B12, Albumin, Albumin/Globulin Ratio, Alk Phos, ALT (SGPT), Anion gap, AST (SGOT), Bands, Basophils, Bilirubin – Direct, Bilirubin – Indirect, Bilirubin – Total, BUN, BUN/Creatinine Ratio, Calcium, Calcium/Albumin Ratio, Calcium/Phosphorous Ratio, Chloride, Cholesterol – Total, Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, CO2, Collagen Cross-Linked Telopeptide, Cortisol – AM, Cortisol – PM, C-Peptide, C-Reactive Protein, Creatine Kinase, Creatinine, Creatinine Clearance, DHEA-S, eGFR, Eosinophils, ESR, Estradiol, Ferritin, Fibrinogen, Folate, Free T3, Free T4, Free Thyroxine Index, Fructosamine, Gastrin, GGT, Globulin (total), Glucose, HDL Cholesterol, Hematocrit, Hemoglobin, Hemoglobin A1C, Homocysteine, hs-CRP or C-Reactive Protein, Insulin – Fasting, Iron – Serum, LDH, LDL Cholesterol, Leptin, Lymphocytes, Magnesium, MCH, MCHC, MCV, Monocytes, Neutrophils, Phosphorus, Platelets, Potassium, Progesterone, Protein (total), PSA, RBC Count, RDW, Reticulocyte Count, Reverse T3, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin, Sodium, Sodium:Potassium Ratio, T-3 Uptake, Testosterone – Free, Testosterone – Total, Thyroglobulin antibodies, Thyroid peroxidase antibodies, TIBC, Total T3, Total T4, Total WBCs, Transferrin saturation %, Triglyceride/HDL Ratio, Triglycerides, TSH, Uric Acid, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D (25-OH), VLDL.
If you want to get a FBCA but don’t have a blood test, there are two options available to you. Firstly, you can visit your primary care provider and ask them to order blood testing for you. The coverage for this may vary depending on your healthcare insurance. To ensure a more comprehensive FBCA report, we recommend requesting as many blood markers as possible. You can find a list of suggested blood markers above.
Alternatively, if you reside in the USA and don’t want to see a healthcare provider, we can assist you in arranging a blood test through one of 2500 laboratories located in USA.
