We are so excited to welcome DHA Laboratory to Rupa Health! We had a great conversation with Dan Hanson, Director of Sales and Business Development at DHA Laboratory, to learn more about the company and the tests they offer. 

Introducing DHA Laboratory 

Hi, Dan! I am excited to chat with you today. I’d love to hear about how DHA Laboratory got started. 

Ellen Hanson started DHA Laboratory in 2001 to service the original Pfeiffer Treatment Center and Health Research Institute with specific chemistries needed to study supporting mental and emotional well-being with advanced integrative and functional modalities.

Amazing! Can you tell me a little more about the tests you offer?  

Our most commonly ordered tests are the Kryptopyrrole Quant. Urine, Metabolic Panel Plus, and Advanced Metabolic Panel. Practitioners order these tests to gain insights into various aspects of mental health, including conditions like anxiety, depression, PTSD, ASD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer’s. 

Fantastic! Are you working on anything new right now? 

DHA is continuing to develop tests that support ideal neurotransmitter function, helping providers to better understand how to support brain health. 

I love that! I can’t wait to see what tests you all develop next.  

What is your favorite part about being in the functional medicine industry? How do you see it evolving in the future? 

I enjoy working with healthcare providers and patients who aim to support individuals with mental and emotional conditions, helping them to experience improved well-being and functionality. In the future, I think we will see more precise targeting of tests and approaches that may help manage symptoms more effectively for patients.

Incredible! Is there anything else you would like to share about DHA Laboratory?

We have a fun place to work! Team members are invited to daily yoga and ping pong games. We have awesome parties every season. Outside of having fun, we are constantly supporting our team members with educational information relevant to the development of our industry and testing.

That’s wonderful! We appreciate you taking the time to speak with us, and we look forward to growing our partnership with DHA Laboratory.
