| What We Test | What It Reveals |
|---|---|
| Organic Acid Testing (OAT) | Mitochondrial function, cellular energy production, and metabolic pathway efficiency |
| Gut microbiome analysis | Dysbiosis patterns linked to neurological inflammation and chronic fatigue |
| Cortisol rhythm testing | Adrenal function and HPA axis collapse — the biological engine of burnout |
| Inflammatory cytokine panel | Persistent immune activation driving neurological and musculoskeletal pain |
| Thyroid panel (full functional) | Including reverse T3 and antibodies — frequently implicated in fatigue syndromes |
| Nutrient deficiency screening | B12, D, magnesium, CoQ10 — the cellular cofactors depleted in chronic fatigue |
| Standard Approach |
Tigris Valley Protocol
Our approach
|
|---|---|
|
Antidepressants prescribed for pain
|
Inflammatory cytokine testing identifies the actual pain driver
|
|
"Exercise more" advice for fatigue
|
Paced activity protocol respects post-exertional malaise
|
|
No mitochondrial testing
|
OAT panel identifies cellular energy dysfunction specifically
|
|
Gut health never assessed
|
Microbiome and permeability testing as standard
|
|
Generic supplements suggested
|
Targeted nutrient repletion based on your lab results
|
|
Symptoms managed indefinitely
|
Root cause identified and treated — outcomes tracked
|
