Sometimes low energy, mood changes, or slow metabolism can be traced back to vitamin and mineral deficiencies. That is why our experienced medical team offers advanced, clinically supervised vitamin & mineral deficiency testing to uncover the root causes of nutritional imbalances affecting your overall health.
With over 20 years of experience and medical providers on-site in The Woodlands, you’ll get actionable insights, not just a basic lab panel.
Why Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency Testing Matters
Micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) play vital roles in nearly every bodily function: energy production, immunity, hormone regulation, metabolism, mood and tissue repair. When levels drop too low, even seemingly minor deficits can produce significant symptoms.
Vitamin & mineral deficiency testing identifies precise deficiencies so you can:
- Understand which nutrients you’re missing, rather than guessing.
- Tailor nutrition, supplementation and lifestyle strategies.
- Address root-cause issues (malabsorption, diet, stress, hormone imbalance) rather than simply treating symptoms.
Signs & Symptoms of Nutrient Deficiency
You may benefit from vitamin & mineral deficiency testing if you’re experiencing several of the following:
- Persistent fatigue, low energy or slow recovery.
- Mood changes, brain fog and poor concentration.
- Unexplained weight changes, slowed metabolism or decreased muscle tone.
- Hair loss, brittle nails, skin changes or mouth ulcers.
- A restrictive diet (vegan/vegetarian), gastrointestinal issues (Crohn’s, celiac), long-term medication use or minimal sun exposure—all risk factors for deficiency.

Our Vitamin & Mineral Deficiency Testing Program — How It Works
1. Initial Evaluation & Lab Screening
- Review medical history, diet, lifestyle, medication use and symptoms.
- Order micronutrient panel: vitamins (D, B12, folate, etc.), minerals (iron, zinc, magnesium), absorption markers, possibly gastrointestinal/hormonal markers if indicated.
- Discuss your goals, what results may show and how we’ll act on them.
2. Results Review & Customized Plan
- Your provider explains your lab results in plain language, showing where levels are optimal, low or borderline.
- Develop a targeted nutrition and supplementation plan (food-first → targeted supplements) plus lifestyle adjustments (sleep, stress, gut health) and monitor absorption/response.
- If underlying issues (e.g., malabsorption, hormone imbalance) are identified, we integrate support into the plan.
3. Monitoring & Ongoing Support
- Retest as needed (commonly 3-6 months) to assess progress, adjust nutrients and ensure optimization.
- Ongoing wellness support: hormone balance, metabolism strategies, body composition, aesthetic support—all available as part of our integrative model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Even with supplements, vitamin & mineral deficiency testing reveals actual blood levels, absorption issues and whether nutrients are effective or being wasted. Routine supplements don’t always address root causes.
Yes and no. Vitamin & mineral deficiency testing involves a blood draw, but the value is in interpretation and action by a trained medical provider—so you get meaningful results, not just numbers.
You may notice improvements in energy or mood within weeks of implementing a tailored plan; deeper metabolic and tissue-health results may take 3-6 months.
No. Vitamin & mineral deficiency testing is part of a comprehensive health-strategy. It complements your existing care and helps identify additional actionable factors.
