This depends on your unique symptoms, goals, and what you’re looking to uncover! Each test looks at different systems in the body so here’s a quick breakdown to help you understand which one might be best for you!

DUTCH Complete (Hormone Test) gives a complete picture of your hormones and how your body processes them. It looks at sex hormones, cortisol patterns, adrenal function, and detox pathways helping us understand why your hormones feel out of balance and what to do about it.

Best for you if you're struggling with:

• Hormonal symptoms like PMS, mood swings, low libido, or irregular cycles

• Fatigue, burnout, poor sleep, or energy crashes

• Skin and hair issues like acne or hair thinning

• Suspected estrogen dominance, low progesterone, or cortisol imbalances

• Perimenopause or exploring HRT

GI-MAP (Stool Test) gives a detailed look at your gut microbiome, the community of bacteria, yeast, viruses, and parasites living in your digestive tract. It identifies not just what's present, but whether those microbes are beneficial or harmful, and how they might be impacting your digestion, immune system, skin, and mood. It also includes markers for inflammation, gut lining integrity, immune activity, enzyme function, and more making it incredibly helpful for understanding how your gut might be contributing to systemic symptoms like breakouts, fatigue, or hormone imbalances.

Best for you if you're dealing with:

• Digestive symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, or loose stools

• Skin issues (acne, eczema, rosacea)

• Food sensitivities or inflammation

• Chronic fatigue, brain fog, or autoimmune concerns

• A history of antibiotic use, infections, or feeling like your gut is “off”

SIBO Breath Test checks for bacterial overgrowth in your small intestine, which can interfere with digestion and nutrient absorption. It helps identify whether bacteria are fermenting foods where they shouldn’t be leading to gas, inflammation, and symptoms that don’t respond to typical gut protocols.

Best for you if you're experiencing:

• Bloating soon after eating

• Upper abdominal discomfort or distention

• Constipation, diarrhea, or alternating between both

• Brain fog, sugar cravings, or fatigue tied to meals

• Worsening symptoms with fiber or fermented foods

Overall, if your symptoms are more gut related, starting with the GI MAP or SIBO test is often most helpful. If your symptoms are more hormone or stress related, the DUTCH Complete is likely the best fit. I also love running the GI Map and DUTCH Complete together!

Traditional hormone testing, like blood or saliva, is kind of like glancing at your car’s dashboard lights. It can tell you if your oil is low, your fuel is empty, or your engine needs attention at that moment. It’s helpful but it doesn’t explain WHY the light came on.

The DUTCH Complete, is like taking your car into a high tech diagnostic shop. Instead of just seeing the warning lights, you get a full systems scan on how the engine is running, how the fuel is being used, how the brakes are responding, and whether the car is running efficiently or burning out. It looks at your hormone levels over the course of the day, how well your body is processing and clearing those hormones, and how your adrenals and stress response are functioning overall.

DUTCH doesn’t just show how much estrogen you have, it shows how your body is breaking it down (and whether it’s doing that properly). It reveals whether your cortisol is high in the morning like it should be, or if you’re flatlined and dragging through the day. It gives a bigger picture of how your body is handling stress, hormones, and detoxification.

If you’ve ever felt like something’s off but your labs come back “normal,” DUTCH can uncover the why and help us build a plan that actually supports how your body works.

This service does not include a personalized protocol, since I won’t have a full picture of your health history or the opportunity to work with you in an ongoing capacity.

You will receive a thoughtful interpretation of your results, along with basic educational guidance such as general nutrition, lifestyle, or supplement tips that may support your body based on common patterns. However, these are not tailored protocols and should never be considered medical advice. Please always consult your medical provider.

For a more in-depth, customized plan, I recommend working together through my 1:1 Nourished Roots program, where we can explore your full story and create a root cause protocol that’s truly personalized to you.

Absolutely. While many clients come to me with skin related concerns, these functional lab tests are incredibly valuable for a wide range of health concerns especially those related to hormones, digestion, energy, mood, or overall wellness.

If you're feeling "off" and want to better understand what’s happening inside your body, this kind of testing can offer clarity and direction whether or not skin issues are part of your experience.

For the most accurate and helpful results, I recommend waiting until you’re at least 6 months postpartum and/or finished breastfeeding before moving forward with functional testing.

In the months following birth, your hormones are naturally shifting as your body rebalances. Waiting a little longer allows us to get a clearer picture of your true baseline so your results reflect a more stable foundation and lead to more aligned, actionable support.

Feel free to reach out via email hello@victoriajewelwellness.com for further guidance!

Yes you can absolutely move forward with testing while taking medications, including accutane, spironolactone, birth control, or others. But please note they can influence certain markers. I will take this into consideration during the analysis. Though, I typically recommended to wait till you are off of antibiotics.

My goal is always to meet you where you are and provide guidance that supports your unique body and health journey.

For tests like the SIBO Breath Test, GI MAP and DUTCH, your kit will be shipped straight to your home with everything you need. Including step by step instructions and a prepaid return label to send your sample back to the lab.

If your testing includes blood work (coming soon), you’ll receive a requisition form by email to take to a local LabCorp. Before ordering, it’s a good idea to confirm there’s a LabCorp location near you to ensure easy access.

If you run into any questions during the sample collection process, the lab’s customer service team is your best resource. Their contact information will be included in your kit and they’re there to walk you through anything you need!

Testing cannot be ordered in NY, NJ, or RI due to state regulations.

I am currently only working with those located within the U.S and hope to expand soon!

If you’re unsure whether testing is available in your area, feel free to via email at hello@victoriajewelwellness.com. I’m happy to help!

Timing can vary depending on your location and the specific lab you’re taking (DUTCH test has timeline requirements based on your cycle), but here’s a general timeline to expect:

• Test kits usually arrive within a week of ordering.

• Once you collect and ship your sample, it typically takes 2–3 weeks for the lab to process your results.

• As soon as I receive your completed results I will start the process of analysis and I’ll reach out to schedule your 1:1 review session.

My services are not for you if you tend to be closed minded, do not have at least 1 hour each week to put towards bettering your skin / health, you do not want to support your skin and body naturally, and/or if you are someone who is only looking for a quick fix with a list of supplements for symptoms.

Additionally, solo lab testing is not for someone who needs more than basic guidance. If you would prefer a 1:1 service, I recommend my 3 month program, Nourished Roots.

I wish I could! Unfortunately, due to the nature of the body’s natural healing process I can’t predict how soon you will see results therefore results can never and will not be guaranteed. But, I have never seen a client not make improvements from our time working together. The body is designed to heal and when we equip it with the necessary tools, long lasting wellness can happen! The clients that see the best results are those who are dedicated and take control of their own health journey. My services use Nutritional Therapy principles which does not diagnose, treat, prevent, prescribe, or cure any pathological condition, illness, or disease. As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and Licensed Esthetician my recommendations and education are NOT ever to be construed as medical advice or a diagnosis. Always consult a doctor before making changes.

Nutritional Therapy is designed to help clients advance on their personalized path to optimal health and wellness. Nutritional Therapy supports the body’s innate ability to heal by addressing the importance of metabolic health, nutrient dense food, digestion, blood sugar regulation, hormones, hydration and minerals, drainage and detox, and lifestyle choices through client coaching. As an NTP, I treat every client like the unique, bio-individual they are. No two protocols are the same and everything is designed to give YOU the knowledge, resources, and support necessary to feel empowered to live a well nourished life.

Due to the nature of my services and work involved, no refunds will be available. No exceptions.

No, this service is not covered by insurance.

Functional lab testing and personalized wellness care are often considered outside the scope of conventional coverage. Though I truly hope this changes in the future, as more people seek root cause support.

In the meantime, I’ve designed this offering to provide as much clarity and value as possible, without the long term commitment of a full program.

That said, some people have had success using their HSA or FSA to cover the cost of functional lab testing and analysis but please note that this isn’t something I can guarantee.

Please reach out to me via email at hello@victoriajewelwellness.com. I’m always happy to help!
