Lab Tests
Health and disease are choices. They are the result of the foods we eat, things we drink, air we breathe, hours we sleep, and thoughts we think. Our program is based on lifestyle modifications and the results of easy-to-use test kits. Get to the root cause of your health challenges by identifying external and hidden internal stressors that are detracting for your health. Remove the stressors. Then, replace them with healthful habits. These are the primary principles of rebuilding your health from the inside-out.
You cannot change until you have awareness of what is not working. – Max Simon
Are you ready to find the underlying cause of your health problems? Do you feel like exercise just isn’t enough? Has stress affected your hormones and been keeping you from achieving your health-related goals? Now is your chance to find out!
DETOXIFICATION
Have foggy thinking throughout the day?
Feeling run-down and just plain dirty on the inside?
In today’s chemical world of pesticides, food additives, heavy metals, and pathogens, the liver must work overtime to keep the body clean and toxin-free. When the liver works too hard, it can clog up, leaving toxins floating around in the bloodstream for your body to store in it’s tissues and organs.
ADRENAL FATIGUE & HORMONE BALANCING
Tired for no reason?
Having trouble getting up in the morning?
Feeling run down and over-stressed?
Just not feeling “right” anymore?
Having mood swings of depression?
One person may withstand a stress quite easily and be ready for more, but another person, or that same person at another time, may find the same stress overwhelming and impossible to bear. It is important to understand the onset and continuation of adrenal fatigue has great individual variation.
Hormones are chemicals that send signals between cells in the body, regulating everything from blood pressure to how well they sleep at night. They play roles in such diverse processes as growth, cell repair, appetite, metabolism, fertility, reproduction, and regulation of pain. If for any reason these are out of homeostatic balance, you could feel the onslaught of a plethora of symptoms.
DIGESTIVE DISORDERS
Have excessive bloating, belching & gas?
Suffering from constipation & diarrhea?
If we are what we eat, then what we are is only as good as our digestion.
When it goes awry, it generally affects our total well-being. Whether it’s mild nausea, a nasty virus, or a chronic disorder such as irritable bowel syndrome, a disorder of the digestive tract is usually impossible to ignore. If the condition persists, it can undermine our total health, eventually threatening our very lives.
GUT REPAIR
Have fungus/yeast overgrowth?
Know about H. Pylori?
Parasite is an organism that lives on or in other organisms from which it obtains nutrients to live and causes harm in the process. Its name comes from the Greek word para that means beside, and sitos, which means food. Most parasites require some host to complete their life cycle. The parasite will vary in size from one-thousandth of one micron to whale tapeworms one hundred feet long.
FOOD SENSITIVITIES
Food sensitivities are very difficult to identify. In most cases, symptoms do not appear until 48-72 hours after consuming the reactive food. Find out which foods are turning on your immune system, causing inflammation in your gut, and taxing your adrenal glands.
Q: Are Services and Test Kits available in Canada, the UK, or Mexico,?
A: Absolutely. All tests and supplements are made available overseas. In fact, nearly half of our clientele resides outside of U.S. borders.
Q: How are test kits shipped?
A: All test kits are shipped US. Mail within 24 hours of your order.
Q: Are test kits covered by insurance?
A: We do not work with insurance companies. However, CPT codes are made available upon request. It is up to you to determine whether your insurance plan will cover testing services.
Q: Where do I go to have testing done?
A: Lab samples are collected via urine, saliva, stool, and blood. With the exception of the LEAP MRT Food Sensitivities test (blood), all tests may be taken in the comfort of your own home. Instructions will be provided for your MRT blood draw.
Q: How long does it take to receive lab results?
A: Lab results are typically received at our office 10-14 business days after the lab receives your samples. Once they are received, we will schedule your appointment to review them. Metabolic Typing results are available within 48 hours of completing your online test. Many clients want to get started with their MT Diet while they wait for their lab results.
Q: Once we find the malfunctions, how do we go about repairing them?
A: Your therapeutic protocol will be based on the D.R.E.S.S. principle: Diet, Rest, Exercise, Stress Reduction, and Supplementation. There are no cookie-cutter programs. Your health history, current stressload, metabolic type, and test results will all factor into your protocol. You are buying a process that takes our investigative time!
Q: May I use supplements/hormones from a brand not recommended by my protocol?
A: The supplements/hormones recommended to you are of the highest quality. The brands we recommend have a long history of superiority. In addition, your Metabolic Typing supplements are engineered specifically for your type. Consuming a diet that brings your body into balance while taking supplements that imbalance you is like walking in two directions at the same time! Due to lack of certainty as to the potency of other brands, we cannot be certain that they will provide the results we wish to achieve.
Q: I am weary of taking hormone replacement. Aren’t the recommended hormones potentially harmful?
A: The hormones that have been implicated in increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and cancer are synthetic. They do not resemble the hormones produced by your body. Therefore, their effects may be dangerous. We only use natural, bioidentical hormones in physiological dosages. Bioidentical hormones have the exact molecular structure as those produced by your body. While bioidenticals are safe, hormones are still serious business. Any substance may be harmful if used incorrectly. For this reason, we will work together to fine-tune your hormone protocol. Those who choose to not participate in this fine-tuning process run the risk of harming themselves.
Q: How much are the lab fees?
A: Well, it varies test to test. Our test kits and lab fees are listed below. Lab fees are paid directly to BioHealth Diagnostics. Each test kit comes with a pre-paid FedEx mailer for easy, fast shipping. When purchased as part of our Functional Diagnostic Nutrition service, no additional consulting charge will be incurred for test kits. Client will only be invoiced $5 per kit for shipping.
