Testing
Hormone, stool, and blood testing are a vital component of my practice. It can be an amazing tool to help address the root cause of your illness. It helps me tailor my protocols accordingly and helps the process of making change a lot more precise and motivating for my clients. Seeing things on paper can make a world of difference in how one views the importance of change. My own personal journey and practice wouldn’t be where it is today without the help of testing.
The 3 test packages that I offer to each client along with Nutritional consultations are:
Stool Testing
Optimizing gut-health is vital to my practice and can be very beneficial for those who are constantly suffering from Gastro-Intestinal symptoms of bloating, constipation and/or diarrhea. Stool testing can be a valuable tool in determining underlying imbalances that are contributing to your disease. Several important analytes can be measured on a stool test, which can give you a wealth of knowledge into your microbial diversity, inflammation markers and determine how well you are digesting foods. This helps me personalize your nutrition and tailor your supplementation that will benefit your body catered to your Microbiome. Stool testing can be useful in:
- Abdominal Pain/reflux
- Inflammation of the joints
- Chronic or Acute Diarrhea
- Nutritional Deficiencies
- IBD/IBS
- Autoimmune Conditions
