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.

We also offer an additional new DNA screening test which identifies potential health issues and provides individualized nutrition and lifestyle solutions. Specific gene defects in the DNA, called SNP's (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism), are looked for in the test results which are associated with common dysfunctions and diseases in the body. This is a one-time test, as our DNA does not change and is appropriate for all ages.
