Answered yes to 2+ of the questions above questions? You may want to consider a additional testing! 

  • Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus

    Analyzes a stool sample to assess the microbiome for bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens as well as microbial balance and other intestinal health markers, such as low immune function, poor pancreatic elastase output, or intestinal permeability.

    By utilizing the data collected from the GI Map, I can identify precisely the underlying cause of digestive symptoms. This enables me to adopt a targeted approach in rebalancing the gut and nurturing a thriving, diverse gut microbiome for optimal health.

  • MRT Food Sensitivity Testing

    Simple, patented blood test that identifies our body’s reactions to 140 foods and 30 food chemicals by measuring the number of mediators released and the subsequent changes in white blood cells.

    Through the process of identifying food sensitivities, I can accurately determine which specific foods trigger an immune response, removing the need for extensive elimination diets. This targeted approach allows for more efficient and personalized dietary interventions.

  • Intracellular Micronutrient Testing

    Specialized form of nutritional testing that assesses the levels of essential vitamins, minerals, and other micronutrients within the cells of the body. Intracellular testing provides a more accurate reflection of the nutrient status within the cells where they are utilized.

    Micronutrient testing allows me to identify deficiencies, enabling us to optimize nutrient levels through a combination of diet and targeted supplementation.

  • Continuous Glucose Monitors

    Provides real-time data on glucose levels, allowing clients to monitor their blood sugar trends throughout the day.

    Utilizing this data, I can make more strategic decisions regarding diet, exercise, and lifestyle recommendations. This ultimately fosters sustainable weight loss & stable energy levels.
