ALLERGY TESTING
Most of the time
food sensitivities can be established by a simple
customized elimination diet. When this is not
successful there are more specialized blood tests to
rule out food intolerance to hundreds of foods including
dairy, soy, wheat and gluten.
BLOOD TESTS
A broad range of
blood tests are available including those you routinely
would get at a yearly visit to your medical doctor (for
example, cholesterol, blood glucose, etc.), as well as
more specialized tests (for example, comprehensive
allergy testing).
BONE HEALTH MARKERS
A specialized panel
of tests provides information about bone markers that
are a reflection of your bone health. It includes
markers such as DpD (Bone marker), Vitamin D, Vitamin K,
Cortisol and more.
BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCER RISK TEST
A new urine test
looking for the ratio of 2-hydroxyestrone (20HE1) to
16-alpha-hydroxyestrone (16OHE1), can help assess your
risk for both breast as well as prostate cancer. If
these run in your family or you are currently at risk,
this test can be useful both to establish your risk as
well as to monitor improvements in treatments designed
to minimize your risks.
GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH PANELS
We provide an
impressive array of specialized gastrointestinal health
panels to help provide more specific treatment protocols
to those suffering from chronic and undiagnosed
digestive problems. These tests are not available
through ordinary conventional medicine. They provide
information about parasites, ova, yeast overgrowth,
fungal infections, flora imbalances, and more.
HORMONE TESTING
Specialized saliva
tests are available from a number of customized hormone
panels to help monitor age, lifestyle and disease
related fluctuations in hormones such as estrogen,
testosterone, thyroid hormones, progesterone and DHEA-S.

INSULIN RESISTANCE TEST
A new breath test
called C Glucose Breath Test can help establish if you
are at risk for developing diabetes. This test can be
useful to indicate where treatment is necessary BEFORE a
diagnosis of diabetes is made by your medical doctor.
STRESS TESTS
Your adrenal glands
(sometimes referred to as stress glands) are extremely
important for many functions such as energy production,
muscle and joint functioning, bone health, immune
health, sleep quality, skin regeneration, thyroid
functioning, stress management, blood pressure and
more. If you are chronically stressed your adrenal
glands may not be functioning properly and this can
affect many areas of your health. A specialized saliva
panel can help establish the functioning of your adrenal
glands.
THYROID PANEL
Thyroid problems
often go undetected by mainstream medicine due to the
limitations of blood tests typically used. The thyroid
can effect everything form your utilization of vitamins
to sexual functioning and sleep. Despite what your
blood tests might say, if you are experiencing fatigue,
dry hair and skin, hoarse voice, cold intolerance,
facial swelling, constipation, weight gain and/or
excessive menstrual flow, you may have hypothyroidism.
Or, if you are experiencing nervousness, anxiety,
fatigue, palpitations, weight loss, increased sweating,
loose or frequent bowel movements and/or sleep
disturbances, you may have hyperthyroidism.
URINE ANALYSIS
This simple and
routine on-site test is included in your initial
consultation to screen for common problems such as
urinary tract infections, diabetes or illness. |
