Testing
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
This test evaluates your metabolic health by measuring glucose levels, electrolytes, liver enzymes, and kidney function. It provides an extensive overview of your overall metabolic status.
Hormonal Profile Testing (DUTCH)
For men and women dealing with hormonal imbalances, testing hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, cortisol, and thyroid levels plays a vital role. Understanding these levels helps tailor a nutrition and wellness plan that fits your hormonal needs.
When we want to get down to the details of our health, testing can be a great way to discover areas we can improve or optimize ourselves. However, testing is not mandatory for finding your ideal nutrition or addressing symptoms. Many individuals find themselves overwhelmed by the plethora of testing options, wishing they had acted sooner, or regretting the financial investment for inconclusive results. This is where I come in to guide you in determining whether testing is suitable for your unique situation.
Here are some popular tests from reputable companies that I utilize in my practice:
GI-MAP
Gut health is foundational to overall well-being. Testing for gut microbiome diversity and the presence of pathogens can provide insights into digestive health and areas in need of support or extra supplementation.
Genetic Testing (MTHFR gene)
Understanding your genetic predispositions can provide clarity on how your body reacts to different foods and lifestyles, enabling you to create a personalized wellness plan.
