Functional Medicine Lab Testing for Children With ASD
Understanding Your Child's Biological Factors
Understanding the biological factors influencing your child's development is essential to delivering effective intervention. Functional medicine lab testing provides a deeper look into the systems that directly affect your child's behavior, development, sleep, digestion, mood, and overall well-being.
Home-Based Testing Process
All tests are completed from the comfort of your home and coordinated directly by Pi. After an initial consultation, we carefully assess your child’s health history, current challenges, and therapeutic needs to determine which tests are most appropriate.
We manage the entire process, from ordering the kits and arranging courier delivery to providing you with easy-to-follow sample collection instructions. Most tests use first morning urine (which can be extracted from nappies if needed), hair, or stool samples. Once the samples are ready, the courier picks them up and ships them directly to the lab.
Available Tests and Pricing
Each price listed includes the cost of the test(s) and full professional interpretation.
We recommend meeting once a month thereafter, as we work systematically to support and correct all affected body systems. On average, treatment spans approximately one year. Re-testing after 12 months is recommended to evaluate long-term progress and make any necessary adjustments. Shipping costs are not included in the prices below.

• Gastrointestinal yeast and bacterial overgrowth
• Mitochondrial and energy production function
• Oxalate metabolism

We highly recommend the Organic Acids Test (OAT) for couples planning to conceive, pregnant women, and for newborns. This comprehensive test provides valuable insights into metabolic function, nutrient status, detoxification capacity, and gut health—all of which play a crucial role in healthy development from the very beginning. Identifying imbalances early on allows for personalized nutritional and lifestyle interventions that can support fertility, a healthy pregnancy, and optimal outcomes for the baby.

Expert Collaboration
What makes our approach unique is the integration of functional medicine and developmental expertise—tailored specifically for children with neurodevelopmental conditions. This allows us to interpret lab results in the real-world context of your child’s behavior, environment, and therapeutic needs.
All test coordination, interpretation, and treatment planning is handled by Pi in close collaboration with Nancy Guberti. Nancy is a highly respected U.S.-based functional medicine practitioner specializing in autism and chronic childhood conditions. Each test is interpreted in collaboration with her to ensure the highest level of accuracy, insight, and care.
Together, we ensure that every child benefits from both international clinical expertise and personalized local support. All recommendations are integrated into your child's therapeutic plan and adapted to their ongoing progress.
Disclaimer
The tests performed do not constitute a medical diagnosis and are not intended to identify specific diseases. Their purpose is to highlight areas in the body where imbalance or dysfunction may be occurring. The subsequent care is non-invasive and involves the use of dietary supplements, nutritional adjustments, and environmental modifications that support the body’s natural healing processes.
