A bit more info . . .

Our Diagnostic Programs Include . . .
  1. Autonomic Nervous System - testing that part of the nervous system that controls all internal organ functions.
  2. Gastric Acid Analysis - Many digestive and acid problems are actually caused by lack of adequate gastric acid, which is accurately measured by this test.
  3. Arterial Stiffness Testing - developed by the Mayo Clinic to measure hardening of the arteries.
  4. Body Composition - the key to understanding your percent body fat and metabolic needs, in order to create the most effective weight loss program that goes beyond dieting.
Frequently Asked Questions . . .
  1. Can I take too many vitamins? Yes, too much of one vitamin can block absorption of another! Like any medication, you should only be taking the right amounts of the proper combinations.
  2. My doctor said my blood tests are normal. What does that mean? "Normal" is within an average range and means that you are not terribly sick.
  3. What do blood tests cover? They only tell a small part of your health story, and are a poor measure of inflammation, immune function, digestion and stress. Certain nutritional tests give a more accurate picture of factors affecting your health and causing symptoms.
  4. I eat a very healthy diet. Should I worry? Your body uses what it absorbs, not what you eat. No, don't worry, but do get a medical nutritional check up to be sure your diet and absorption are providing you with all the nutrients your body needs.
  5. I have Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). Can you help? Yes, definitely. Gas, bloating and cramps are some of the most common GI symptoms. Bacterial overgrowth, inflammation and autonomic nerve regulation are often overlooked. Since we test these and other related issues, we can often relieve the uncomfortable symptoms and treat the root causes.
