This depends on the type of functional testing you are having done.

There is no markup on any of the tests I refer you for in order to make it more financial viable for you.

I will often prescribe specific nutrients and/or herbal formulas when needed to help achieve the desired health outcomes. However it's important to know my philosophy when it comes to supplements; they are just that - supplements! They should be supplementing an adequate baseline of nutrition and lifestyle behaviours or what I refer to as "the Fundamentals".

Nutritional and herbal supplements help bridge the gap from where you are with your current health status, to where you ideally would like to get to. Many of the supplements prescribed are not to be taken long term. However there may be parts of your protocol that you would continue to take for wellness maintenance.

Remember, while professionally prescribed supplements can work wonders, they're certainly not a magic bullet and they definitely don't replace diet and lifestyle changes required to get you well, and keep you feeling amazing!
