Saliva Testing

This gives providers a better idea of the levels of hormones that are actually influencing the tissues, rather than just the level of hormones that are present in the tissues.

• Adrenal: The Adrenal Stress saliva testing panel evaluates stress, a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.

• Bone: Aging is inevitable, and bone reflects the aging process by exhibiting gradual loss of mass.

• Female: A non-invasive test consisting of 11 saliva specimens collected during specified time periods throughout the menstrual cycle.

• Food Intolerance: Caused by a food substance that triggers a toxic reaction on contact with our intestinal cells which produces inflammation and can result in intestinal damage.

• Gastrointestinal: A saliva and stool sample is laboratory analyzed for the most accurate and specific diagnosis of the symptoms.

• Male: The hormones involved in this restoration of a man's vitality can now be collectively measured in one salivary sample.

• Menopausal: Menopause is a natural and usually gradual change in glandular function in women resulting in substantial shifts in hormone levels.

Urine, Blood, and Fecal Testing

Urine Testing

Can check for conditions related to the urinary tract, kidneys, and liver, such as kidney disease, liver disease, diabetes, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Urine tests can also help manage diabetes by measuring glucose and other substances. A urinalysis can include a visual exam, where a healthcare professional looks at the color and clarity of the urine, as well as a dipstick test, which uses plastic strips that change color when they touch certain substances.

Blood Testing

Can be more comprehensive than urine tests and are often used as part of annual exams. Blood tests can indicate the risk of heart disease or other health conditions, and can measure levels of cholesterol and glucose (blood sugar). Other blood tests include:

• Full blood count: Measures the number and development of blood cells

• Liver function tests: Measures enzymes, proteins, and other substances produced or excreted by the liver

• Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) quantification: Looks for or monitors thyroid disorders

Fecal Testing

Fecal testing, also known as stool testing, can help healthcare providers diagnose issues in the gastrointestinal (GI) system. There are many different types of fecal tests, including:

• Stool microscopy and culture (Can identify bacteria, viruses, or parasites that may cause gastroenteritis)

• Helicobacter pylori stool test (Can detect bacteria that can cause stomach ulcers)

Iodine Testing

Every cell in the body contains and utilizes iodine. Essential for life, iodine has many effects on the body: hormone production, nerve and muscle function, metabolism, tissue growth and repair, and cell respiration.

Neurotransmitter Testing

Neurotransmitters are the brain chemicals that facilitate the transmission of signals from one neuron to the next across a synapse. Neurotransmitters work with receptors in the brain to influence and regulate a wide range of processes such as mental performance, emotions, pain response and energy levels.

Vitamin D Testing

Specific vitamin D receptors are in almost every tissue in our bodies. Vitamin D aids in maintaining healthy calcium levels regulates hormone secretion and keeps the immune system robust.
