To clearly map out how we can best help you, we need to better understand what is undermining your health and well-being. To do so, we initially check for:

• Nutrient Deficiencies
• Sleep 'Debt'
• Unmanaged Stress
• Excessive Toxic Burden
• Inappropriate or Insufficient Exercise

Evaluating your current state of health in key areas is next, and depending on your needs, may include:

• Blood Sugar Regulation
• Thyroid Health
• Hormone Balance
• Digestive Health (GI tract)
  
• Immune Function (and chronic inflammation)
  
• Cardiovascular Risk
  
• Bone Health (osteoporosis)
  
• Oxidative Stress (low antioxidant reserves)

Then, its clue gathering time as we piece together how and why your body's health declined.

To gather some clues concerning the areas listed above, we utilize some combination of the following testing procedures.

Biomarker Tests:

• BIO-IMPEDENCE ANALYSIS (measures body composition and other valuable biomarkers indicative of overall health and vitality)
• HEART RATE VARIABILITY (provides clues of unmanaged stress and sleep debt)
• VISUAL CONTRAST SENSITIVITY (a special vision test that screens for indications of heavy metals and bio-toxin toxicity)
• ZINC LEVELS (a taste test indicative of zinc deficiency)

Urine Tests:

• OXIDATA (a urine test revealing fat-soluble antioxidant deficiency)
• VITAMIN C (urine test indicating low levels of vitamin C)
• INDICAN (a urine test reflective of digestive and colon health)
• CALCIUM LEVELS (a urine test checking calcium levels)
• ORGAN SCREEN (a general urine screening test)

Blood Tests:

• Various blood tests are often recommended to clarify your specific nutrient needs, and condition of your thyroid, liver, kidneys, immune system, and lipid metabolism (cholesterol).
• Darkfield Microscopic Evaluation (a clear visual screening of your live blood to reveal indications of platelet stickiness (stroke risk); nutrient deficiencies (zinc, B-12, etc.), and more)
  

Specialized Tests:

• Hormone analysis (to evaluate your need for and/or monitor progress of, bio-identical hormone therapy)
• Toxic Metal analysis (to check toxic accumulation in your body of mercury, lead, arsenic, and other toxic metals)
• Micronutrient analysis (a blood test that tests your level of 30 critical nutrients)
• Bone Resorption test (to see if you are at risk for, or to monitor status of, osteoporosis)
• Estrogen Metabolism test (to evaluate several critical factors associated with your risk for developing breast or prostate cancer)
  

Examination:

• POSTURAL BLOOD PRESSURES (3 tests to screen for adrenal fatigue)
• WAIST MEASUREMENT (higher numbers track closely with many degenerative diseases)
• RESTING PULSE (elevated values correlate with disease risk)

PLEASE NOTE!

• Only tests that we feel are valuable and pertinent for you are recommended
• We ensure you understand the purpose of each test recommended
• No ultimatums around testing. We move forward with testing only after your approval. We believe you should have the final word, as it is your body.
• All test results are reported to you, along with a clear explanation as to what it means with respect to your health.
• With the possible exception of the prick of a needle, all of our evaluation tests and procedures are painless, and harmless.
