Are You in Control of Your Health, or Is It Controlling You? Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness, chronic disease prevention and managing the aging process. Do you find yourself feeling stressed, tired and maybe a little depressed? Do you take prescription medicines to alleviate symptoms of certain conditions, but wonder why the condition exists at all? Do you want to boost your immune system now, to possibly prevent chronic disease later? SpectraCell's Micronutrient testing offers the most accurate, scientifically proven method of assessing nutritional deficiencies. Be Proactive, NOT Reactive Traditionally, a person waited to go to the doctor at the first signs of a symptom. Today, individuals are looking for way to not only manage illness with personalized treatment plans, but they are also seeking to achieve a higher level of wellness. Eating a balanced diet, exercising and taking a multivitamin is simply not enough. Each person's body is unique in its own way.
Due to the complexity of the human body, an individualized healthcare approach is the only way to guarantee optimal results. What is Micronutrient Testing? SpectraCell's Micronutrient tests measure the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids within our white blood cells. Scientific evidence shows us that analyzing the white blood cells gives us the most accurate analysis of a body's deficiencies. What results will I see? SpectraCell's Micronutrient lab results include an overview page with all deficiencies listed, numeric and graphic reports easily identifying deficiencies and repletion and supplementation recommendations. SpectraCell's Micronutrient test includes: for Total Antioxidant Function Vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies have been shown to affect the function of the immune system which can contribute to degenerative processes such as arthritis. How do I get my Micronutrient tests?
MSP does not cover the cost of these tests. We are always open to collaborating with your medical doctor to help you receive the assessment that you need. This blood test can identify a type of immune reaction (IgG antibody reaction) to a number of different foods. There is a growing body of evidence to support the clinical benefits of eliminating IgG reactive foods from the diet. IgG food sensitivities have been implicated in digestive symptoms, fatigue, migraines, weight gain and more. We commonly recommend this type of testing for chronic inflammatory concerns such as eczema, asthma, immune conditions and arthritis. This test is performed in office and helps us to determine if you have an allergy to dust, grass/tree/weed pollen, mold, cat or dog. These allergies can contribute to allergic conditions such as hayfever, asthma, sinus congestion and irritated eyes. Salivary hormone testing is a non-invasive and clinically useful way to measure hormones and identify imbalance.
Saliva collection is convenient and painless, particularly when multiple samples are required. A comprehensive stool analysis is a test which provides a functional analysis of the health of your digestive system. It provides a culture to detect the presence of healthy bacteria, harmful bacteria, yeast and parasites. It also helps us to assess gastrointestinal immune health, the presence of inflammation, how well you are digesting your food and more. Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth occurs when bacteria overgrow in areas of the small intestine where they should not be present. This can lead to many different symptoms and associated conditions such as diarrhea, constipation, gas, burping, cramping, or bloating. Testing for SIBO is done using an at home breath test which measures hydrogen and methane gases in the breath that are produced by bacteria in the small intestine. If you are currently eating gluten in your diet, we can screen for Celiac through an antibody blood test at Life Labs.
If you are not eating gluten in your diet and celiac disease is suspected, we may recommend genetic testing which can determine if you have a low risk, moderate risk or high risk of developing celiac. It is not a conclusive test to diagnose celiac. This is a comprehensive test of nutrient levels, and includes testing of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids and fatty acids.This list is not exhaustive, there are many other tests that we may suggest depending on the situation.
