Why trusting your intuition matters when tests don’t tell the whole story
Hi, I’m Chip Paul — and I want to share something critical that’s often overlooked in the world of health care: the way we test. In today’s world, it’s easy to assume that modern labs, with all their data and charts, have all the answers. But for many of you, the story is the same: you feel terrible, but your blood work looks "normal."
So what’s really going on?
In this episode of Chip Talks Health, I take a deep dive into the testing methods I use at Neighborly Wellness and how we uncover root causes that traditional medicine often misses. If you’ve been dismissed, told everything looks fine, or you’re just not getting better — this is for you.

Why Traditional Lab Testing Falls Short
Conventional medicine relies heavily on blood tests and imaging. These tools can be useful, but they’re based on population averages — not optimal ranges for you. Often, they only catch problems when they’re advanced. If you’re dealing with fatigue, pain, anxiety, or brain fog, and your labs are "normal," I’m here to tell you: it’s not in your head.
What’s missing? The right questions.
Traditional labs:
Give us only a snapshot in time
Miss chronic, functional, or energetic dysfunction
Ignore emotional and neurological root causes
That’s where functional testing comes in — it helps us see the bigger picture. You can’t just rely on static data. Health is dynamic.
Functional Health Testing: The Role of Bioresonance and Energetic Testing
One of my favorite tools is Bioresonance testing. It’s a non-invasive way to scan the body’s frequencies — the energetic signals your tissues and systems emit. We compare those signals to ideal patterns to find imbalances.
This is where I see breakthroughs. I’ve had patients with clean labs but massive energetic disturbances. Bioresonance helped us identify emotional stress, toxicity, or chronic pathogens long before they became diagnosable diseases.
With this tool, we can:
Detect dysfunction early
Uncover emotional or pathogenic burdens
Build personalized protocols based on what your body needs now
Energetic testing also lets us see the shifts from treatment in real time. You don’t have to wait three months for new labs — your body shows us what’s working immediately.
“Your gallbladder might not be sick — it might just be holding onto fear.”
Testing for Emotional Health
Here’s something you won’t hear in a typical clinic: your gallbladder might be congested because you’re holding on to fear. That’s right — emotions are stored in the body. Through functional testing, we can measure emotional blocks and how they impact your organs and energy systems.
This kind of testing has helped so many of my clients connect the dots between trauma and chronic illness. I’ve seen liver inflammation linked to suppressed anger, thyroid imbalances connected to lack of expression, and more.
If you feel stuck emotionally and physically, it might be time to test differently. This approach not only brings answers — it brings relief.
Understanding the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)
You’ve probably heard me talk about the ECS before. It’s your body’s master regulator — responsible for balance across all systems. But did you know that most traditional doctors don’t even look at this system?
At Neighborly Wellness, we assess ECS dysfunction by observing symptoms like:
Chronic stress or sleep problems
Autoimmune tendencies or gut issues
Hormonal imbalances or low energy
A dysregulated ECS can affect everything from your immune system to how you process pain. It’s foundational — not optional.
If your ECS is off, everything else is, too. That’s why I developed our Cellular Support Bundle — to help reset this system and restore communication within the body.
Hormones, Mitochondria, and Gut Health
A lot of testing focuses on single organs or systems. But your body doesn’t work in isolation — everything is connected. Hormones are just messengers. If your mitochondria are underperforming or your gut is inflamed, those messages get lost in translation.
In our clinic, we test and support:
Mitochondrial function
Gut microbial balance
Hormone pathways
Neurological signaling
We also look at how these systems interact with your ECS and emotional patterns. It’s a full-body scan, not a tunnel vision report.
The Gut-Brain-Immune Axis
Here’s another area we look at: how your gut, brain, and immune system talk to each other. If your gut lining is damaged, your brain may be inflamed. If your brain is inflamed, your hormones will be out of whack. It’s all connected.
Using energetic and functional testing, we map these communication lines. You’ll often find that fixing gut function brings clarity of thought. Supporting mitochondrial energy helps hormones balance out. It’s a cascade of healing.
Smarter Testing, Not Just More Testing
People often ask me, "What’s the best test to run?" And my answer is: it depends. The most important thing is to understand your goals, your history, and your symptoms — then choose the right tools.
Start with:
A deep intake and conversation
Bioresonance or frequency scans
Select labs that confirm patterns we already see
I’d rather run one test that gives us clarity than five that give us confusion. Remember: data without context is just noise.
Stories from the Clinic
I’ve seen hundreds of cases where people spent thousands on labs with no clear answers. Then we ran a simple energetic scan or looked at their ECS — and everything made sense. We’ve helped folks with chronic Lyme, post-COVID syndromes, and lifelong autoimmune symptoms find relief and direction.
One patient had 12 years of fatigue and no diagnosis. We found an energetic virus signature, treated it naturally, and within weeks she had her energy back.
Another patient had chronic digestive pain and all labs were normal. We tested energetically, found microbial overgrowth, and addressed it with herbs. Two months later, no pain. Functional testing works.
I’m not here to replace your doctor. I’m here to help you get answers and become the CEO of your health.
Trust Your Gut — And Your Intuition
One final point: never underestimate your own intuition. If you know something is off, keep digging. Find someone who listens. Functional testing is about honoring your body’s signals — not ignoring them.
I trust your instincts. I want you to trust them too.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is functional testing?
Functional testing evaluates how your body systems are working — not just whether they meet a “normal” lab range. It looks for dysfunction before disease and helps identify root causes of symptoms.
How is Bioresonance different from traditional lab work?
Bioresonance measures the energetic frequencies of your organs and tissues. It can detect imbalances long before they show up in blood work, and it's non-invasive and real-time.
Can emotions really affect physical health?
Yes. Emotional trauma can be stored in the body and impact organ function. We use testing methods that identify emotional blockages and integrate them into your healing plan.
What is the Endocannabinoid System (ECS), and why should I care?
The ECS is a master regulator that helps your body maintain balance. If it's out of sync, everything from sleep to stress to immunity can be affected. Most conventional medicine ignores it — we don’t.
How do I know what tests I need?
We recommend starting with a full intake, Bioresonance scan, and symptom review. From there, we only run labs that are needed to confirm findings, not overwhelm you with data.
