Organic Acids Testing: Unlock Your Metabolic Blueprint for Health
Fatigue, brain fog, mood swings, or digestive issues? It’s time to look deeper.
At Ultimate Functional Medicine, we believe that true healing starts by understanding how your body functions at the cellular level. Organic Acids Testing (OAT) is one of the most powerful tools we use to uncover hidden imbalances and get to the root cause of chronic symptoms.
We proudly offer advanced organic acids testing through two industry leaders:
US Biotek Organic Acids Metabolomic Mapping
Genova Diagnostics Organix Comprehensive Profile
These tests give you a metabolic roadmap—helping us design a precise, personalized protocol for optimal health.
🌿 What is Organic Acids Testing?
Organic acids are small molecules produced when your body breaks down food, generates energy, and detoxifies waste. By analyzing these compounds in urine, we can assess:
Nutrient Deficiencies (B vitamins, antioxidants, amino acids)
Mitochondrial Function & Energy Production
Detoxification & Liver Function
Oxidative Stress & Inflammation
Neurotransmitter Balance (serotonin, dopamine, GABA)
Digestive Health & Dysbiosis (yeast, bacteria overgrowth)
Fat & Carbohydrate Metabolism
This is biochemistry in action. It’s like a metabolic fingerprint—revealing hidden imbalances that traditional bloodwork often misses.
Why is Organic Acids Testing So Powerful?
Organic acids testing bridges the gap between symptoms and solutions by identifying biochemical roadblocks. It’s not about symptom suppression—it’s about restoring balance at the cellular level.
Example Insights from an OAT Test:
Low B-vitamin markers → May contribute to fatigue and poor detoxification
High yeast markers → May explain bloating, sugar cravings, or brain fog
Low glutathione → Suggests oxidative stress and toxin buildup
Impaired mitochondrial markers → May lead to fatigue and slow metabolism
Neurotransmitter imbalances → Could cause mood swings, anxiety, or sleep problems
By correcting these imbalances, we help you optimize energy, focus, mood, digestion, and overall wellness.
Who Should Consider Organic Acids Testing?
If you’re struggling with any of these symptoms, OAT testing could provide the answers you need:
Fatigue, low energy, or burnout
Brain fog, memory issues, or mood swings
Anxiety, depression, or sleep problems
Digestive issues: bloating, gas, constipation, or diarrhea
Chronic pain, headaches, or inflammation
Skin issues: acne, rashes, or eczema
Suspected yeast overgrowth (Candida)
Weight struggles or blood sugar imbalances
Chemical or mold sensitivity
Chronic illness or complex health concerns
OAT testing is also invaluable for:
Optimizing athletic performance and recovery
Supporting children with ADHD, autism, or developmental delays
Enhancing longevity and disease prevention

"The OAT test was a total game-changer. It showed I wasn’t making enough serotonin, which explained my anxiety and sleep issues. After following Jamie’s plan, I’m sleeping better, my mood is stable, and I have energy again!"
