Functional Healing

The comeback is ALWAYS greater than the setback! 

What's Functional Healing?

Why This Matters

  • Symptom treating can be crucial for acute conditions or emergencies, but it often leads to chronic dependency and doesn’t resolve deeper issues.
  • Functional healing requires time, effort, and sometimes a mindset shift, but it empowers people to regain true, lasting health—especially with chronic or complex conditions.

Functional Testing

Metabolomics Test

Functional wellness test to gain insights into metabolic pathways, nutrient status, mitochondrial health, neurotransmitter metabolism, detoxification, stress, mood, and inflammatory responses.

Discover your unique metabolic signature with Designs for Health Metabolomics Spotlight™ functional wellness test.

The Metabolomics Spotlight™ functional wellness test analysis provides an in-depth view of the function and efficiency of multiple aspects of an individual’s unique biochemistry and metabolism. This analysis will assist practitioners in unraveling their client’s metabolic pathways and revealing their metabolic status.

 

How does this test benefit you?

Metabolomic analysis enables clinicians to view a larger picture of health by evaluating the function of key metabolic pathways to provide better targeted support and lifestyle changes for a truly personalized approach.  Each functional wellness test contains everything necessary, including detailed instructions on how to noninvasively collect a urine sample and send it in for analysis. A report with the results contains a unique, in-depth assessment of many key areas of biochemistry and metabolism essential for human health, including the following:

  • Metabolic and macronutrient processing

  • Mitochondrial function and micronutrient status

  • Amino acid, protein, and neurotransmitter metabolism

  • Inflammatory response and oxidative stress

  • Detoxification and microbial metabolites

GI Test

Functional wellness to analyze the health of the gut microbiome to gain insight into overall wellbeing, including digestion and immune, hormonal, and neurotransmitter balance.

About This Product

The GI Spotlight functional wellness test analysis provides an in-depth look into the health of the gut microbiome. The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract contains an ecosystem with more than four trillion microbes, living in a symbiotic relationship with their host, while performing duties essential to the health of the individual, such as assisting with digestion, hormonal balance, immune modulation, and neurotransmitter function.

How does this test benefit you?

Each functional wellness test contains everything necessary, including detailed instructions on how to noninvasively collect the sample and send it in for analysis. The resulting report contains a unique, comprehensive assessment into many of the key microbes that are essential for human physiology and overall wellness.

This test will help provide insight into the following areas:

  • Utilizes cutting-edge quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) technology
  • Keystone microbial diversity and gut fungal balance
  • Intestinal permeability and gut barrier function
  • Digestive function, nutrient absorption, and GI motility
  • Inflammatory status and immune function in the gut

The results are intended to help inform and guide the health-care practitioner to support their client’s or patient’s overall health with appropriate diet, lifestyle, and nutraceutical suggestions by assessing the status of the microbiome.    

Genomics Test

Designs for Health’s comprehensive functional DNA test for useful insights into eight key areas of a patient’s genomics to better understand their unique genetic blueprint.

About This Product

Genomic Spotlight™ uses advanced machine learning via the Opus23 informatics platform to allow clinicians a unique insight into a client’s or patient’s genomics. Using a simple buccal collection, this test reports an array of the most clinically significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a multitude of domains in one comprehensive functional DNA test that evaluates eight key areas of health.

Genomic Spotlight™ using Opus23 identifies how the function of one gene or SNP impacts the expression and function of a separately related gene or SNP, and ultimately a subject’s physiology. Using this platform, clinicians can customize reports with an interactive dashboard that curates a subject’s genomic data in “real-time” by using the latest literature databases and meta-data sets providing relevant information on nutritional supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes that can proactively influence a subject’s gene expression and function, and ultimately their health and well-being.

How does this test benefit you?

  • Allows unique insight into patient genomics
  • Reports an array of the most clinically significant single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a multitude of domains in one comprehensive functional DNA test
  • Assesses eight key areas of health, including methylation, structural (i.e., bone health), aging, cognitive health, detoxification, endocrine health, inflammatory status, and gastrointestinal health

Testimonials from Health Clients

I’ve been training with Lori Hill since 2019, and she’s transformed my health, strength, and mindset. Her holistic approach gently but effectively moves you toward your goals, and every session is deeply personalized—tailored to both how I’m feeling that day and my long-term vision.

Thanks to Lori, I’ve navigated health challenges, perimenopause, and the demands of a busy life—balancing work, international travel, and raising three teenage boys. At 54, I feel strong, supported, and recently hit another PR. Her guidance has been an anchor through it all.

Coach Lori is an exceptional coach who combines expert knowledge with unwavering motivation and support. She will meet each client where they are in their health and fitness journey. In addition to programming training, whether after injury recovery or strength building, she integrates a strong nutritional component tailored to individual goals, whether it's performance, fat loss, muscle gain or functional alignment. Her holistic care of the "whole person" makes her stand out! Since I have been training with Lori, I achieved a greater sense of health and wellness that goes beyond numbers and a scale. Lori is a wonderful coach and caring person.
