Everything you need to know — answered clearly and honestly.
The Functional Blueprint™ is a comprehensive at-home testing and clinical interpretation program. It combines two advanced lab analyses — the Gut Blueprint™ and the Metabolic Blueprint™ — with personal review and interpretation by Dr. Maria Keller, MD and Dr. Carol Chaney, FNP-C, IFMCP, PhD. The result is a personalized wellness roadmap that reveals what conventional medicine typically misses.
Standard labs are designed to screen for diagnosable disease. They look for values that fall outside a very broad reference range.

Most of our patients have had extensive conventional lab work done before coming to us. This is a fundamentally different kind of
The Gut Blueprint™ is a comprehensive stool analysis that examines hidden infections including parasites, yeast, and H. pylori — bacterial overgrowth and microbiome imbalances — inflammation and leaky gut markers — digestive enzyme function — and nutrient absorption. It uses advanced analysis to identify organisms and patterns that standard stool tests miss entirely.
The Metabolic Blueprint™ is a comprehensive urine analysis examining over 70 biochemical markers — including mitochondrial energy production, neurotransmitter building blocks, detox pathway function, hidden nutrient deficiencies, and metabolic patterns linked to fatigue, weight resistance, mood disorders, and brain fog.
The gut and metabolic systems are deeply interconnected — gut dysfunction drives metabolic imbalance and vice versa. The Complete Functional Blueprint™ gives Dr. Maria and Dr. Carol a unified picture of both systems together, which almost always reveals patterns and connections that neither test shows alone. It is our most recommended option — and at $1,497 it saves $301 versus ordering separately.

Functional Blueprint™ is a cash-pay program and does not bill insurance. Many patients find that the clarity and direction they receive from their Blueprint saves them significantly on the ongoing cost of appointments, supplements, and treatments that were never properly targeted. We believe real answers are worth investing in.
