The Hillcrest Centre for Health offers access to a full service laboratory. The testing we offer can uncover the cause of illness and disease while giving your Naturopathic doctor increased insight into how to help you regain balance.

Blood tests
Using LifeLabs and Rocky Mountain Analytical to process our tests, blood results can yield information about everything from cholesterol and blood glucose to more specific markers of disease and imbalance.

Urinalysis
Analyzing a urine sample gives us insight into many systems of the body, including electrolytes, kidney function and hydration levels. It also enables your Naturopathic doctor to assess and diagnose urinary tract infections.

Salivary Hormone testing
A non-invasive diagnostic tool, salivary testing can assess hormone imbalance that leads to symptoms including decreased sex drive, mood swings and hot flashes. Through analyzing the levels of hormones in the saliva, valuable information is gained about stress, thyroid function, infertility, menopause and male hormones, helping to create a treatment plan specific to your needs.

Hair Analysis
Used to assess long-term deficiencies and toxicities of several nutrients and heavy metals, this technique allows us to understand the environmental cause of certain symptoms.

Food and Environmental Allergy Testing
By analyzing the reaction of the body to a panel of potential airborn and ingested allergens, we can help you to avoid specific stressors and decrease your symptoms.

Parasite Testing
Stool samples are used to isolate parasites so that an appropriate and specific treatment can be applied to eliminate pathogens.
