Functional Lab Testing with Dr. Denise Wiesner, DACM, LAc

At my integrative Chinese medicine practice, we believe that every person’s health story is unique — and that deeper answers often lie beneath the surface. That’s why I offer access to comprehensive, cutting-edge functional lab testing through Rupa Health, a platform that connects us with top specialty labs from around the country.

These tests help us identify root causes of health concerns and tailor personalized treatment plans, integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine with evidence-based functional diagnostics.

Why Functional Lab Testing?

Functional testing allows us to move beyond symptom management and uncover the underlying imbalances contributing to your health concerns. It provides a clear, measurable picture of how your body is functioning and what might be keeping you from feeling your best.

When combined with Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, nutritional counseling, and mind-body practices, these tests help us create truly personalized, integrative treatment plans.
