  • Adrenocortex Stress Profile

    Stress Hormone Test

    Type: Salivary test

    Cost: $320

    Turn-around time: 7 days

    Check for adrenal imbalances that affect: high blood pressure, memory, chronic pain, fatigue, depression, GI and heart disease, weight gain and nervous system diseases.

    • Collection: Four cortisol samples measured throughout the day give insight into the natural circadian diurnal cortisol rhythm to address specific daily stressors
    • DHEA is measured once in the 7:00 AM – 9:00 AM sample

    Adrenocortex Stress Profile is a noninvasive test that evaluates bioactive levels of the body’s important stress hormones, cortisol and DHEA and serves as a critical tool for uncovering biochemical imbalances underlying a host of clinical conditions.

     

    Changing the amounts of cortisol and DHEA can profoundly affect energy levels, emotional states, resistance to disease and a general sense of well-being.

    Conditions

    associated

    with adrenal imbalance:

    High blood pressure

    Cardiovascular disease

    GI and immune issues

    Diabetes and metabolic syndrome

    Depression

    Chronic fatigue

    Sleep issues

    Weight gain

    Persistent pain

    Nervous system diseases

    Memory and thinking issues

  • KBMO Testing

    Food Sensitivities Test

    Type: Blood spot test

    Cost: Fit 22, $165 | Fit 132, $350 | Fit 176, $470

    Turn-around time: 14 days

    Check for food sensitivities, inflammation, and leaky gut. Test IgG and Immune Complexes for Orange Foods, Orange and Green foods, or All foods on the list

     

    Watch the video to learn more

    The test measures both IgG and Immune Complexes, the most common food-related pathways in the body. This enables the FIT test to be able to identify, food sensitivities, inflammation, and leaky gut from a single test.

     

    Changing your diet to adjust for food sensitivities can impact: anxiety, depression, bloating, pain, weight loss, libido, fatigue, insomnia, and GI issues.

    Other issues brought on

    by food sensitivities:

    Stomach Pain

    Inability to lose weight

    Impotence

    Low libido

    Fatigue

    Insomnia

    Joint Pain

  • Metabolomix

    Nutrition Panel

    Type: Urine test

    Cost: $620

    Turn-around time: 14 days

    The Metabolomix+ is a unique combination of nutritional tests that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers to help your provider target nutritional therapies to meet your specific needs. The Metabolomix+ nutritional test is a non-invasive, patient-friendly way to assess the functional need for antioxidants, B vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids, and identifies markers for your microbiome, digestive support, vitamins, cellular energy, toxins, creatinine concentration, oxidative stress, and damage.

    1. Oxidative Stress: Caused by low antioxidant levels. Oxidative stress has been linked to several neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, Multiple sclerosis, memory loss, and other age-related diseases.
    2. Mitochondrial Dysfunction: Mitochondria are the “powerhouse” of the cell.  Dysfunction of the Mitochondria can cause things such as muscle pain and weakness, autism, increased risk of infection, migraines, heart, liver, and kidney disease, and thyroid problems.
    3. Omega Imbalance: Omega imbalance has been linked to increased risk of inflammatory-related diseases such as asthma, eczema, and coronary heart disease.
    4. Toxic Exposure: Exposures to toxicants such as heavy metals, pesticides, and other endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are potential factors in the development of several chronic diseases and have also been associated with immune system dysfunction and increased inflammation.
    5. Methylation Imbalance: The Methylation process helps with cellular regeneration, detoxification, stress and histamine response, and antioxidant and neurotransmitter support.

    Check 3 key functions of gut health – digestion/absorption, inflammation/immunology, and gut microbiome – to look for disease markers, biological response, bacteria, parasites and more.

     

    Why would I want to get this test done?

    The health of the entire body is dependent on a healthy gut and gut microbiome. Gut microbes are codependent with one another and with their human host, and the health of one affects the other. A sizeable volume of research associates an imbalanced gut microbiome with multiple disease states both within and outside of the GI tract.

     

    The diverse metabolic activities of the microbiome impact the human host, and the activities of the human host ultimately affect the health of their microbiome.

    Common symptoms of

    GI distress:

    Gas

    Bloating

    Indigestion/reflux

    Abdominal pain/cramps

    Diarrhea

    Constipation

    Inflammatory Bowel Disease

    Irritable Bowel Syndrome

    Atopic dermatitis / Eczema

    Allergies

    Autoimmune disease

    Mood disorders

    Joint aches

    Diabetes
