Lab
Testing
Screening for…
-
Common diseases
- Hormone
imbalances
- Nutritional
deficiencies
- Potential
health risks
We
analyze standard lab results in a unique way, using optimal
rather than the conventional average reference ranges. The
“average” American is not healthy and we do not
base our healthy reference ranges using this standard.
Many
nutritional imbalances and some diseases can be detected at
an earlier stage with this more pro-active approach.
Comprehensive
hormone testing is available for both men and women and may
be especially indicated during menopause or andropause. (Andropause
is the gradual decline in male hormone production between
the ages of 35 and 70 and may cause symptoms ranging from
depression, low energy, cognitive decline to decreased strength
and endurance) Hormones that are tested include; progesterone
(metabolites), testosterone, estrogens, DHEA and adrenal hormones.
This hormone profile also identifies markers associated with
risks for (estrogen dependent) breast cancer, prostate enlargement,
obesity, insulin resistance and adrenal fatigue. |
