Tests Blood & Saliva

Micronutrient Testing

Good nutrition is at the core of good health. Micronutrient testing measures the levels of minerals, vitamins, amino acids and antioxidants within a person’s white blood cells, indicating potential imbalances. Results help our certified health coach guide the client towards educating him/her on the foods that are high in specific nutrients so the client can make an educated choice on incorporating more nutrient-rich foods of as part of a general balanced diet. Call 727-239-9334 today to schedule an initial health coaching session.

Cardio-Metabolic Testing

Science shows that poor blood sugar regulation and unhealthy triglyceride and lipoprotein levels can lead to cardio-vascular diseases such as stroke, heart attacks or type 2 Diabetes. Our Cardio-Metabolic and Pre-Diabetes panels offer a scientific and tangible snap shot of a person’s current cardiovascular disease risk status. These check points help you understand that not just one factor, but rather a constellation of risk factors, contribute to the genesis and progression toward poor health. Results help our clients “know their numbers”, which allows them to target their efforts towards achieving their goals of better health. Our caring health coach is here along your side to help educate and motivate you, but also keep you accountable. Call 727-239-9334 today to begin your journey towards a healthier you.

Hormone & Thyroid Testing

Hormonal imbalances have been linked to a broad spectrum of health conditions and unpleasant symptoms in both men and women. As Science as shown, hormones decline as we age. Identifying and managing such changes is critical in the prevention of many chronic diseases. This makes hormone testing an essential element of every annual check-up and disease prevention efforts.

We offer comprehensive male and female hormone tests panels, thyroid hormones tests panels, and salivary adrenal tests panels, that reveal your overall state of hormonal balance. Like nutrients, hormones influence all aspects of health and disease – mood, sleep, metabolism, immunity, heart health and appearance. An imbalance of one hormone can initiate a cascade of events that alters other hormones, so a comprehensive look at hormone status is key. Knowing you health status can help you target your efforts towards better health.

Common symptoms and conditions associated with hormone imbalances:

  • Cardiovascular disease
  • Depression & irritability
  • Low sex drive/libido
  • Fatigue
  • Weight gain

Advantages of salivary hormone testing:

  • More cost effective than serum

  • Non-invasive
  • Easy, convenient sample collection
  • Multiple collections – important for hormones with circadian or monthly rhythms
  • More representative than serum of total bio available steroid hormone levels
  • Detects unbound and free hormones

Your age, gender, the types of symptoms you may be experiencing along with their severity will help our holistic health practitioner educate you on which test may be most appropriate for you.

Telomere

Telomeres are sections of genetic material at the end of each chromosome whose primary function is to prevent chromosomal “fraying” when a cell replicates. As a cell ages, its telomeres become shorter.  Eventually the telomeres become too short to allow cell replication, the cell stops dividing and will ultimately die – a normal biological process. Our Telomere Test can determine the length of a client’s telomeres in relation to his or her age. The results will help target the education and wellness coaching process to encourage and motivate a person towards healthier lifestyle choices to best help the body repair at the cellular level for optimal health.

Apolipoprotein E

ApoE test determines an individual’s genetic risk associated with the Apolipoprotein E gene. ApoE is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides, and variants in this gene can have clinically relevant implications for disease risk as well as one’s response to statin therapy, dietary fat, and other risk factors (eg., smoking and alcohol consumption). Approximately 45% of individuals carry one or more of the high-risk variants within the ApoE gene. The results of the genotyping of Apolipoprotein E have important implications in the lifestyle changes one chooses to make to help reduce his or her cardiovascular risks.

Factor V Leiden & Prothrombin

Genotyping indicates whether a person has an increased likelihood of forming blood clots (thrombosis). The presence of either gene increases the chance of deep vein thrombosis, and may also provide useful information on heart attack risk. Call 727-239-9334 today for more information.

MTHFR

MTHFR is an enzyme responsible for converting 5-10-methylenetetrahydrofolate to the product 5-methyltetrahydrofolate – it is involved in the metabolism of folate and homocysteine. The product of the reaction catalyzed by MTHFR converts homocysteine (a potentially toxic amino acid) to methionine (a useful and necessary amino acid).

Risks Associated with MTHFR Variants/High Homocysteine:

  • Cardiovascular Disease
  • Cerebral Vascular Disease (Stroke)
  • Venous and Arterial Thrombosis
  • Methotrexate Toxicity for Cancer Therapy

Food Sensitivities & Intolerances

A lot of health symptoms like the inability to lose weight, chronic fatigue, mood swings, irritability, poor sleep, just to name a few, can be caused by unidentified food intolerances and environmental sensitivities. We can do a blood test to accurately determine which food items or environmental elements are wrecking your system havoc. Results can help provide scientific evidence to a client and educate him/her on foods or allergen triggers to avoid in order to support his/her health and wellness goals.

The ALCAT Test identifies cellular reactions to over 350 foods, chemicals, and herbs. These inflammatory reactions are linked to chronic health problems like obesity and diabetes, as well as skin, heart, joint, and digestive disorders. There are 10 different levels of food sensitivity and intolerance testing you can choose from:

The types of symptoms you may be experiencing along with their severity will help our holistic health practitioner educate you on which test may be most appropriate for you.
