Dr. Mehta and Beyond Wellness use specific reputable labs recommended and used by thousands of certified functional and integrative healthcare practitioner. These labs often exclusively offer functional medicine tests. Beyond Wellness is researching and looking for better, precise, accurate, and cost-effective labs that are best able to help in guiding patients to a better quality of life. Traditional labs and local hospital based labs are NOT helpful for most types of highly specialized labs. Conventional medicine offers NO training or education on these specialized labs so typically those practitioners are unaware and DON’T know how to interpret them without functional medicine certification like Dr. Mehta.
If you order functional medicine tests through another provider you will be charged $25-$100 lab interpretation fee per lab (depending on complexity) for Dr. Mehta to review these results.
