Introducing a cutting-edge nutritional test designed to provide comprehensive insights into your body's nutritional needs. This unique combination of at-home tests analyzes key nutritional biomarkers through a first-morning void (FMV) urine collection, with optional add-ons including a bloodspot finger stick and buccal swab. This test is a non-invasive, user-friendly solution for assessing your body's functional requirements for antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids.
Nutrient Testing
The test is an excellent choice for individuals experiencing or concerned with the following conditions and health goals:
- Mood Disorders: Beneficial for those dealing with depression and anxiety, as it helps identify nutritional imbalances that may contribute to these conditions.
- Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Useful for individuals experiencing issues related to cellular energy production.
- Fatigue: Ideal for those suffering from chronic tiredness and looking to optimize their energy levels through targeted nutrition.
- Chronic Stress: Supports individuals under prolonged stress by assessing nutritional needs that can help mitigate stress effects.
- Inflammation: Helps identify dietary adjustments to reduce inflammation and improve overall health.
- Cardiovascular Health: Assists in managing and preventing cardiovascular diseases by addressing nutritional deficiencies.
- Neurocognitive Decline: Supports brain health by targeting nutrients essential for cognitive function.
- Diabetes Management: Offers insights into nutritional strategies that can aid in managing blood sugar levels.
- Cancer Support: Provides nutritional guidance for individuals undergoing cancer treatment or recovery.
- Eating Disorders: Assists in the nutritional management of conditions like anorexia by identifying key nutrient deficiencies.
The Nutritional Profile is a comprehensive health assessment tool that provides valuable insights into your body's metabolic processes and nutritional needs. Here's what the report includes and why it matters:
- Personalized Health Overview: Offers a snapshot of your unique nutritional requirements and overall health status to guide personalized health strategies.
- Functional Imbalance Scores: Assesses key areas such as:
- Methylation: Crucial for DNA repair and detoxification. Imbalances can increase risks for cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
- Toxic Exposure: Identifies harmful substances and detoxification efficiency, helping to reduce chronic disease risks.
- Mitochondrial Function: Evaluates energy production, vital for addressing fatigue and optimizing cellular energy.
- Fatty Acid Balance: Essential for brain health and inflammation regulation, with imbalances linked to mood disorders and cardiovascular issues.
- Oxidative Stress: Indicates cellular damage risk, highlighting the need for antioxidants to prevent diseases like cancer.
- Nutrient Recommendations: Identifies specific nutrient needs, including:
- Antioxidants
- B-vitamins
- Minerals
- Essential fatty acids
- Digestive support
- Amino acids
- Easy-to-Understand Guidance: Provides educational support on nutrient functions, deficiency causes, complications, and food sources.
- Organic Acids (Urine): Reveals gut health and absorption issues, indicating bacterial imbalances.
- Energy and Mitochondrial Health: Insights into carbohydrate and fat metabolism for energy optimization.
- Neurotransmitter Metabolites: Assesses brain chemical processing, impacting mood and cognitive function.
- Vitamin and Toxin Markers: Evaluates vitamin levels and detoxification capacity for overall health maintenance.
- Oxalate Markers: Assesses risks for kidney stones and oxidative stress.
- Amino Acids (Urine): Highlights protein intake and amino acid utilization, crucial for managing conditions like depression.
- Oxidative Stress Markers (Urine): Indicates levels of oxidative damage, guiding antioxidant needs.
By understanding these metabolic processes, you can make informed decisions about your nutrition and lifestyle, potentially preventing or managing various health conditions effectively.
