Root-Cause Functional Medicine at The Confidence Lab
Functional medicine looks past symptom-masking to find why you feel off.
Testing That Maps the Why
At The Confidence Lab in Powell, Ohio, our board-certified providers use advanced lab testing, GI-MAP stool analysis, DUTCH hormone panels, and targeted bloodwork, to map your symptoms (fatigue, hormonal shifts, gut issues, stubborn weight) to the underlying drivers behind them.
A Protocol, Not a Prescription Pad
From there we build a personalized protocol around your results: peptide therapy, nutrient support, and practical lifestyle change, adjusted as we re-test. It is a different model than a 15-minute primary-care visit, one connected picture of your health rather than one complaint at a time.
In Clinic or Statewide Telehealth
Care is available in our Powell clinic and by secure telehealth to anyone with a valid Ohio address. The Confidence Lab is located at 4038 Powell Rd, Powell, OH 43065; call or text (614) 219-9983 to schedule.
What We Test and Treat
Functional medicine starts with a consultation. Specialty panel pricing is panel-dependent and set during that visit, you get the exact cost before anything is ordered.
| Add-On | Price | What It Does for You |
|---|---|---|
| GI-MAP Gut Health Testing | Set at consult | DNA stool analysis maps your microbiome, pathogens, and digestive markers. |
| DUTCH Hormone Testing | Set at consult | Dried-urine panel maps cortisol rhythm and sex hormones across a full day. |
| Peptide Therapy | Set at consult | Targeted peptide protocols for recovery, metabolism, and vitality. |
| Nutrient & IV Support | From $59 | Pairs with IV Hydration and NAD+ Therapy where your protocol calls for it. |
The Science: Root-Cause vs. Symptom Care
Standard panels are built to flag disease, not to explain why an otherwise healthy person feels exhausted, foggy, or off.
The Gap in Standard Bloodwork
Functional lab testing fills that gap by measuring the systems conventional bloodwork often skips.
Two Tests, One Picture
GI-MAP is a DNA-based stool test that quantifies the bacteria, pathogens, yeast, and digestive markers shaping your gut, the foundation for immunity, mood, and nutrient absorption. The DUTCH panel measures sex hormones and cortisol from dried urine across a full day, showing not just hormone levels but how your body produces and clears them. Together they surface drivers, dysbiosis, cortisol dysregulation, hormone imbalance, that a single morning blood draw cannot see.
From Results to Protocol
Your provider translates those results into a concrete protocol: which nutrients to replace, which peptides may help, what to change in sleep and nutrition, and when to re-test. We frame findings as data for a personalized plan, not diagnoses or guarantees, and we coordinate with your primary care provider where ongoing medical management is needed.
Your Path: What to Expect
Consultation and history (week 1)
Lab testing and collection (weeks 1-2)
Results review and protocol build (weeks 3-4)
Protocol start and check-ins (ongoing)
Re-test and refine (typically 8-12 weeks)
Before, During, and After Your Protocol
Here is exactly what to expect at each stage of your visit, so you can arrive prepared and know what happens before, during, and after your treatment.
Before
, Gather recent bloodwork or lab results so we do not re-order what you already have.
, Note your main concerns, symptom history, and goals.
, List every medication and supplement you take, with dosages.
, Plan DUTCH collection around a typical week, not a high-stress one.
During
, Your 30-minute consultation reviews your full history and symptoms.
, Your provider recommends which panels (if any) fit your goals and confirms the exact cost before ordering.
, Sample collection is simple: GI-MAP at home, DUTCH dried-urine across a day.
, You leave with a clear, personalized starting protocol.
After
, Your provider reviews results with you and finalizes the protocol.
, Most follow-ups are by telehealth, so you only come to Powell when testing requires it.
, We re-test at 8-12 weeks to confirm the plan is working and refine it.
, Changes build gradually over weeks to months; we set realistic expectations and never promise specific outcomes.
Tips for Best Results
Bring any recent bloodwork to your consultation so we do not re-order what you already have.
DUTCH testing needs a few days of collection; plan it around a typical week, not a high-stress one.
Gut and hormone results often connect; testing both gives a fuller picture than either alone.
Functional protocols work best paired with sleep and nutrition changes, not in place of them.
Telehealth covers most follow-ups, so you only come to Powell when testing requires it.
Re-testing at 8-12 weeks is how we confirm the protocol is working, not guessing.
