Lab Testing

 

Lab tests help you focus your treatment in order to use the right treatments in the right quantity, and they often shorten the treatment process by eliminating some of the trial and error that often occurs when you aren't sure what is going on.

Nutritional testing: create your own multivitamin - We offer blood and urine testing that can evaluate the effectiveness of your current diet and supplements.  From these tests, we can create a customized multivitamin that is specific to your metabolic needs, or for the conservative patient that doesn't want a multivitamin, we can tell you which single vitamins are most important to add to your already healthy diet.

Food Allergy Testing
- Food allergy testing assesses the amount that your immune system is reacting to various foods, with the goal of limiting your total body inflammation and sensitivity.  This test combined with the gold standard elimination diet allows you to get a handle on what foods work for you and what don't.

Hormone Testing - Hormones are the chemical messengers of the body - when they are out of balance, your internal health becomes chaotic and illness occurs.  Balancing your hormones can not only improve the way you look and feel, but may also decrease your chances of developing certain types of diseases.

Digestive Testing
- Comprehensive digestive tests can be done to tell you what kind of infections you might have, how well you are digesting fats or proteins, whether you have H-pylori or celiac disease, or whether you are at risk for cancers of the colon.  These tests help direct specific treatments like digestive support,  herbs that fight inflammation, antimicrobial medicines, avoidance of particular foods, or perhaps may trigger a referral back to your medical doctor for more tests.

Overall health screens and tests for early detection of disease - We offer comprehensive all-in-one blood tests that offer early markers for particular diseases such as cancer or heart disease, as well as provide information about nutritional status, immunity to certain diseases, hormonal balance, and organ system health.

Toxicity and Detoxification Capacity
- Assess whether your ability to detoxify certain groups of toxins is impaired so that you can modify your diet, supplements, and lifestyle habits accordingly.  We can also assess your total body load of certain toxins.
