Can I order this test on its own?

Most labs can be ordered on their own with the “Lab Only” option, which includes a general results review. If you’d like your results personally reviewed — with a written Root Cause Report and personalized 12-week protocol — explore the 12-Week Program. Either way, add Tiffeny Parker as your practitioner when you register your kit so I can see your results.

Is this a medical diagnosis?

No. Functional lab testing is educational and is used to guide nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategy. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any disease. Always work with your licensed healthcare provider for medical concerns.

How long do results take?

Most kits are collected at home in a single day and returned by prepaid mail. Results typically take about 2–4 weeks, depending on the panel.

How to get this lab ↓

This test measures the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats as an indicator of overall inflammation. Modern diets heavy in vegetable oils push this ratio far too high (often around 15:1); about 3:1 to 5:1 is a healthier target.

Your ratio guides which fats to add or remove and whether omega-3 support makes sense in your plan.
