The Right Test for the Right Patient:
Doctor's Data FAQ Deep Dive
Presented by Krista Anderson Ross, ND | December 3, 2025 at 12 PM Pacific
When it comes to selecting and interpreting Doctor's Data test results, providers often have the same questions. In response to your valuable feedback, this year we're expanding our Frequently Asked Questions webinar to include all of Doctor's Data's most popular tests. See the tests below and some of the questions we'll be answering!
Example Questions:
- GI360™ - My patient is experiencing gas, bloating and loose stool. Which is the best stool test to order?
- Cardiometabolic Profile - Does it contain Apolipoprotein B?
- Methylation - What is the difference between the Plasma Methylation and DNA Methylation Test?
- Metals - What is the best test for identifying heavy metal exposure?
- HuMap™ - What is the clinical utility of the HuMap™ cortisol panel and how does it compare to salivary hormone testing?
- Neurotransmitters - Does urinary neurotransmitter testing measure brain levels?
- Salivary Hormones - Should women on birth control test hormones?
- Adrenal Function - Why are my patient's cortisol levels low even though they are under a lot of stress?
Optimizing Neurotransmitter Balance: Clinical Strategies for the Year Ahead
Presented by Lylen Ferris, ND | January 7, 2026 at 12 PM Pacific
Join Lylen Ferris, ND, Director of Clinical Education at Doctor's Data for a practical and clinically focused webinar designed to help you confidently assess and treat neurotransmitter imbalances. This session will explore the physiology of neurotransmitter synthesis, secretion, and metabolism; highlight common clinical presentations of neurotransmitter excesses and deficiencies; and review key genetic and lifestyle influences on neurochemical balance. You'll learn how to integrate neurotransmitter testing into your practice using the NeuroBasic or Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profiles, and how evaluating precursors and metabolites alongside neurotransmitter levels can sharpen your interpretation and guide more precise, individualized treatment strategies.
Learning Objectives:
- Clarify core treatment principles for restoring optimal neurotransmitter balance.
- Recognize common clinical patterns associated with specific neurotransmitter deficiencies and elevations.
- Deepen understanding of neurotransmitter synthesis, secretion, and metabolism to guide non-pharmaceutical interventions.
- Identify genetic, nutritional, and lifestyle factors that influence neurotransmitter status.
- Learn how to integrate neurotransmitter assessment and treatment protocols into practice using the NeuroBasic or Comprehensive Neurotransmitter Profiles.
- Enhance interpretation by evaluating neurotransmitters alongside their precursors and metabolites, enabling more precise and individualized treatment strategies.
