We don't guess — we test. Our layered diagnostic approach meets you where you are: starting with energetic baselines, deepening into genetic insights, and reaching the full biochemistry of your body. Every test is culturally considerate, conveniently ordered, and reviewed by Dr. Steele personally.
Most doctors run the same basic blood panel and call it a day. We believe true diagnostics require looking at multiple layers of your health — from the energetic to the biochemical.
Our three-tier model allows us to meet you where you are, start with non-invasive assessments, and progressively deepen our understanding of your unique health landscape.
Every test result is reviewed in a dedicated consultation where Dr. Steele walks you through your findings, explains what they mean, and connects them to your personalized care plan. You won't just get numbers — you'll get understanding.
Energetic baselines via Human Biofield & TheraWellness
Genetic predisposition & methylation pathway analysis
Comprehensive labs via Rupa Health
Non-invasive assessments of your body's energetic state — revealing imbalances before they show up on conventional labs. This is where every patient's diagnostic journey begins.
Bioenergetic testing reads the body's energetic signatures to identify disruptions, toxin exposure, nutritional deficiencies, and organ stress at the energetic level. These assessments often detect imbalances long before they appear in standard blood work.
Both the Human Biofield Assessment and TheraWellness Testing are conducted virtually, making them ideal for our telehealth model. Results are reviewed in your consultation, where Dr. Steele connects energetic findings to your symptoms and care plan.
Maps the body's energetic field to identify areas of imbalance, organ stress, and disrupted energy flow.
Personalized energetic analysis where testing and treatment converge — identifying sensitivities, stressors, and optimal remedies.
Establishes your energetic baseline at the start of care and tracks improvements over time through your RPM dashboard.
Your DNA holds the blueprint. Genetics testing reveals predispositions while methylgenetics shows how your body activates — or fails to activate — critical pathways for detox, energy, and repair.
Genetic testing goes beyond ancestry. We analyze specific gene variants (SNPs) that affect how your body processes nutrients, manages inflammation, detoxifies, and produces neurotransmitters. This isn't one-size-fits-all — it's healthcare built on your unique genetic code.
Methylgenetics focuses specifically on the methylation cycle — a fundamental biochemical process that impacts everything from mood and energy to cardiovascular health and cancer risk. When methylation pathways are disrupted, the downstream effects touch every system in your body.
Identify SNPs that affect nutrient metabolism, detox capacity, inflammation response, and chronic disease risk.
Assess MTHFR, COMT, CBS, and other key methylation genes to understand how your body processes folate, B12, and more.
Results directly inform which supplements your body actually needs — and which to avoid — based on your genetic profile.
The deepest level of diagnostic insight. Comprehensive lab panels that go far beyond standard blood work, revealing the full biochemical landscape of your body — ordered through Rupa Health and reviewed by Dr. Steele.
Conventional medicine uses narrow reference ranges designed to detect disease. Functional medicine uses optimal ranges designed to detect dysfunction before it becomes disease. The same lab value can look "normal" to one doctor and signal a clear problem to a functional medicine practitioner.
All labs are ordered through Rupa Health, allowing you to complete most testing from the convenience of your home or a local draw site. Results are then reviewed in a dedicated Lab Review consultation where Dr. Steele walks you through every finding.
Full thyroid panels, metabolic markers, lipids, inflammatory markers, and complete blood counts with functional ranges.
DUTCH test, GI-MAP, food sensitivity panels, and comprehensive hormone panels for both men and women.
Heavy metals, environmental toxins, organic acids, and micronutrient testing to uncover hidden stressors.
Every patient is different. Here's a quick guide to help you find your starting point — or book a discovery call and we'll guide you personally.
You want to explore what's possible without jumping into complex lab work. You're curious about energy-based assessments.
Start with Tier 1You know something is off and want answers at the genetic level. You're interested in personalized supplement protocols.
Start with Tier 2You have chronic symptoms, are transitioning from conventional care, or want the deepest level of functional insight.
Start with Tier 3From booking to results — here's what to expect when you start diagnostic testing with us.
Schedule a virtual consultation where Dr. Steele reviews your health history, current concerns, and goals. Together, you'll determine which testing tiers are right for your situation.
Bioenergetic and genetic tests are conducted virtually. Functional medicine labs are ordered through Rupa Health and can be completed at home or a local draw site — wherever you are in the world.
Dr. Steele reviews your results through a functional medicine lens — looking at optimal ranges, not just "normal" ranges. She connects findings across all tiers to build a complete picture.
In a dedicated lab review session, Dr. Steele walks you through every finding — what it means, why it matters, and what to do about it. Education is built into every step.
Your results inform a tailored protocol: supplements via Fullscript, lifestyle changes, nutritional guidance, and ongoing monitoring through RPM. Retest periodically to track progress.
Have questions about our diagnostic approach? Here are the answers to what patients ask most.
No. Dr. Steele will recommend the right starting point based on your health history and goals. Some patients start with Tier 1 and progress; others jump straight to Tier 3. It's fully personalized.
All Tier 1 and Tier 2 testing is conducted virtually. For Tier 3 labs, Rupa Health provides at-home test kits or connects you with a local draw site — available domestically and in many countries globally.
Conventional ranges are designed to detect disease. Functional ranges are tighter and designed to detect dysfunction before it becomes disease — catching issues earlier when they're easier to address.
Typically every 3-6 months, depending on your condition and care plan. RPM tracking between tests helps us monitor progress in real time so we can adjust your protocol proactively.
Absolutely. Dr. Steele can review outside labs in a Lab Review consultation and interpret them through a functional medicine lens. You may still benefit from additional testing to fill in gaps.
Bioenergetic testing reads the body's energetic field to detect imbalances in organs, nutrient status, toxin exposure, and emotional stress — often before they show up in conventional lab work.
