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.
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.
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.
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
At Ultimate Functional Medicine, we believe in precision testing tailored to you. Here’s how these labs shine:
Mitochondrial & Energy Production Markers
Neurotransmitter Metabolites (dopamine, serotonin, catecholamines)
Detox Pathways & Antioxidant Markers (glutathione, CoQ10, vitamin C)
Oxidative Stress Assessment
Yeast & Fungal Markers (arabinose, tartaric acid)
Bacterial Dysbiosis Indicators
Fatty Acid Oxidation
Nutrient Deficiencies (B vitamins, amino acids)
Genova’s Organix test is a gold standard for those seeking a comprehensive functional assessment of chronic health concerns, fatigue, and brain fog.
Energy Production Pathways (Krebs cycle markers)
Mitochondrial Function & Fatigue Markers
Neurotransmitter Metabolism (dopamine, serotonin, GABA)
Oxidative Stress & Antioxidant Status
Detoxification Support (glutathione & phase II pathways)
B-Vitamin Markers (B12, B6, folate)
Amino Acid Metabolism
Carbohydrate & Fat Metabolism
This test is ideal for individuals with complex, chronic symptoms—providing a map of your body’s biochemistry to guide targeted support.
Getting started is easy:
1️⃣ Order Your Test: We’ll help you choose between US Biotek and Genova based on your needs.
2️⃣ Collect Your Sample: This is a simple urine collection you do at home.

"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!"
