Metabolic Testing


Our health comes from the hundreds of daily choices we make about what we eat, drink, breathe, what we think and feel, and how we move and do. These choices act upon our unique genetic structure and produce either health or disease. As each of us are different enetically, the choices each of us have to make to create health are different. Poor choices result in slow, chronic degeneration. Medicine can not help as it is designed to deal with single event situations like trauma, toxic exposure, or acute infection. There is no pill to remedy the cumulative effect of thousands of poor choices. There is only the opportunity to make better choices.

To make better choices we need to know what is going on in our body. Dozens of simple and inexpensive in-office tests exist that give us a world of information about how well our body it coping with the stresses of daily living. These tests can detect imbalances long before serious disease sets in. These "early warning" tests are generally concerned with digestive function, bodily toxicity, and hormonal balance. When properly combined with powerful nutritional protocols and cutting edge products, Metabolic testing can literally turn your life around.

 

 

A steady supply of blood sugar is necessary for proper functioning of the brain and heart, but unstable blood sugar goes both too high and too low causing serious acute and chronic problems.



Other problems: Headaches, mood swings, fatigue, tremors, high triglycerides, poor concentration, insomnia, cold intolerance, motion sickness, tired after meals, yeast infections

Remedy: Eliminate all sugar, juices, and starchy foods and add lots of vegetables, dark meats & fish, and raw fats (as in nuts, avocado, butter, & olive oil). Glucaminozyme or Oxi-G, Pro-glyco SP, Omega-3 or Omegaco-3.

 

 

 

Stress is a normal part of life. When we are successful in solving problems it actually makes us stronger. When we are not successful it overburdens our nervous system and destroys our health.



Remedy: Add minerals Mg and K, restore zinc levels, support stomach, liver, lymph, lungs, and pancreas. Restorative pose, Heartflow, Real Ease, Heart Math, Stresszyme plus treat Adrenals.

 

 

The lining of your gut is designed to keep bacteria and foreign proteins from entering your body while letting digested food into your body. Surrounding the gut lining is three layers of protective good bacteria that keep the bad bacteria away. Bad diet and incomplete digestion feeds the bad bacteria (and bad yeasts) and destroys the protective good bacteria. This causes inflammation of the gut and allows the absorption of foreign proteins and bacteria.

Other problems: headache, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, bloating, constipation, fatigue, low back pain, abdominal pain/cramps.

Remedy: Avoid the above causes, take HCl prozyme with each meal, Mineralzyme, LGSzyme, Colon or Small Intestine Terrain, Purozyme, and Mycozyme as indicated.

 

 

Oxygen is vital to your body, but too much produces a wildfire that destroys you from the inside. This is oxidative stress. Inflammation is your body�s response to oxidative stress.

Other problems: Fibromyalgia, hypoglycemia, arthritis, diabetes, inflammation, allergies, cancer, kidney damage, fatigue, PMS, headaches, liver stress, and cellular damage throughout the body.

Remedy: Remove exposure to poisons, change lifestyle to reduce stress, resolve emotional conflicts with life, anti-oxidants, liver support, enzymes, and stress nutrition. Oxi-zyme, Super B zyme, Purozyme, Liver Terrain, Methoxyzyme, Co Q 10, Male/femalezyme.

 

 

Other problems: Hypotension, platelet dysfunction, septic shock, migraines, glaucoma, carcinomas, fibromyalgia, colitis, depression, rheumatoid arthritis, estrogen dominance

Remedy: Controlled fasting if mild, liver support, enzymes to clear cellular waste, anti-oxidants. Hepaticzyme, Liver Terrain, Purozyme, Oxi-zyme.

 

 

Your body needs a constant low level of sugar in the blood to feed the brain and heart. Too much sugar in your blood damages the blood vessels, kidneys, and virtually every organ in your body.



Other problems: Hot flashes, skin abscesses, lymphatic congestion, poor circulation, hyperactivity, emotional stress, headaches, fatigue, eye problems

Remedy: Eliminate all sugars, juices, starches, organ meats, soy, shellfish, and peanuts. Add light protein at every meal, and lots of vegetables and fruits. Ketaminozyme or Oxi K, Mineralzyme, Glysen, Oxi-zyme.

 

 

Other problems: with poor absorption of nutrients every system in your body is affected as nothing work right if the necessary building blocks and fuel are missing.

Remedy: Replace the necessary enzymes for digestion of sugars, carbohydrates, fats, and proteins as indicated by the body. Liver and Pancreas Terrain.

 

 

Electrolytes create the electrical charge that runs your body, but too many or too few and your circuits either blow out or brown out. You need just the right charge to run properly.



Other problems when high: Sphincter problems, cysts, tumors, warts, constipation, nerve disorders, arthritis, deafness, bladder problems, skin disorders, edema, hemorrhoids, sex organ stress

When low: Tremors, seizures, cardiac arrhythmia, anemia, chronic fatigue, hypotension, immune problems, parathyroid stress

Remedy when high: Restrict salt, distilled water -AM, electrolyte dispersants, enzymes to clear cell waste, anti-oxidants � Hi-electrozyme, Mg/K zyme, Purozyme, Oxi-zyme. Avoid aluminum.

Remedy when low: Sea salt, minerals, ATP support. Lo-electrozyme, Mineralzyme, ATP-zyme.

 

 

 

Our bodies need to be in a balanced state of both tearing down and building up of tissue. If we tear down too much we have energy production problems and waste away. If we build up too much we have cell wall dysfunction and form unusable hypertrophy tissue or generate cancer cells.



Remedy:
Anabolic: avoid saturated fat ( butter, cheese, cream, fatty meats), fermented foods (yogurt, vinegar, soy sauce, etc), sugar (all sources including excess fruit and juices), pears & horseradish. Add: fish/flax oils, nuts, seeds, avocados, cold water fish, Oxy A.

Catabolic: avoid vegetable oils, fish oils, trans fats, fried foods, preserved meats, nuts, seeds, avocados, salad dressings. Add eggs, butter, cheese, meat, fish, fowl, vegetables, Oxy D.

 

 

 

Ammonia is a natural byproduct of protein breakdown in your body and your body uses ammonia to neutralize high acid levels. Some ammonia is necessary to the body, unfortunately ammonia in excess is a toxic poison.


Other problems: High cholesterol, blocks ATP production � fatigue, liver insufficiency, low GI bicarbonate, blood sludge

Remedy: Distilled water in AM, Kidney support, high systemic enzymes. Renazyme, Kidney Terrain, Purozyme.

 

 

 

Your adrenal glands produce adrenaline, a super oxidizer that speeds your body up for fight or flight emergencies. Excess or unused adrenaline burns your body tissues and unbalances your hormones.



Other problems: Hyperlipidemia, poor carbohydrate utilization, increases infections, mineral loss, edema, lean muscle loss

Remedy: Dietary blood sugar control, probiotics to combat bad gut bacteria, stress reduction, food sensitivity avoidance and clearing, specific nutritional support to rebuild the adrenals, temporary short term bio-identical hormone replacement. Corticozyme or DSF, Super B Zyme, Adrenacalm, Adaptocrine, Adrenal Terrain, Omega 3.

 

 

 

If you have been under chronic stress for a long time, your ability to respond can just wear out. Your body literally exhausts its ability to make key hormones that are supposed to run your system properly.


Other problems: Fatigue, impaired memory & concentration, PMS, anxiety, allergies, insomnia, low libido, poor protein and fat digestion, cold extremities, irritability, difficult orgasms.

Remedy: Correct blood sugar, De-stress, remove allergens and environmental toxins, rebuild gut flora, support hormone receptors and hormone pathways. Adrenozyme, Super Bzyme, Adaptocrine, Adrenacalm, Adrenastim, adrenal terrain, Omega 3.

 

 

 

While certain areas of the body need to be acid (like the stomach), most of your body needs to be a neutral pH of 7. The pH of your urine is the same as the pH of the fluid around all your cells. If it is acid then the cells of your body are literally being acid burned each day.

Cause:





Remedy: Alkalizing diet, de-stressing, deep abdominal breathing, proper
exercise (interval training), Purozyme to clear cellular waste, Alkazyme to
buffer acids.

 

 

Price:

We first of all use diet and lifestyle changes to create the desired health changes. If that is not enough, we use different supplements to bring the imbalances discovered back into the normal range. Because the supplements we use are specifically targeted to treat these imbalances, treatment typically only takes 4 to 6 months. Massive changes can be measured within 3 to 4 weeks. Because of the complex relationship between all the processes in your body we prefer to do a complete Metabolic panel that includes most of the tests we list below each month. To make this affordable we have priced this panel at only $89 (not including consultation time). Between the testing and the supplements you can expect to spend $200 to $300 per month for the 4 to 6 months.

 

 

Individual Tests in the Metabolic panel:

ChemStrip Urine Muli-test $20
This test shows many factors concerned with infection in the body, kidney integrity and function, liver function, hydration, and the ability to eliminate toxins through the urine.

Electrolyte Stress/Deffenciy Test $20
Too few electrolytes and you have no energy, too many electrolytes and your blood forms a thick sludge, putting tremendous stress on your heart and blood vessels.

Total Urine Sugar Dysglycemia test $20
This test measures the amount of sugar released into your urine. Less accurate than a GTT, this test screens you for hypoglycemia versus insulin resistance.

Kidney/Liver Ammonia Toxicity Test $20
Ammonia tells us about protein metabolism in your body; it also indicates possible kidney or liver damage.

Inflammation /Nitrate Test $20
This test measures blood nitrous oxide levels, which is one of the main indicators of inflammation in your system.

Saliva pH $20
This saliva test measures mineral depletion of potassium and magnesium by measuring how quickly your saliva is able to buffer a challenge by lemon juice.

Adrenal Stress Urine Test $25
The levels of chloride ions in your urine tell us whether your adrenals are currently in a state of stress or adrenal fatigue. This tells us how your system is handling stress.

Vitamin C level Urine Test $20
Vitamin C is essential for your bones, immune system, ligaments and blood vessels. This test will measure your levels of vitamin C.

Calcium Excretion Urine Test $20
This test measures if the levels of calcium needed for your bones are being lost through your kidneys.

Cell Oxidation Test $30
This test is able to accurately measure the true cellular damage in your body due to free radicals. This damage can lead to chronic fatigue, allergies, arthritis, elevated cholesterol, and degenerative heart disease.

Gut Malabsorbtion Urine test $25
This test measures one of the breakdown products caused by bad bacteria in your gut due to a toxic bowel condition.

Urochrome Anabolic/Catabolic test $20
With this test we can assess whether your body is pushing towards an excessive growth phase (important for cancer) or breaking down more rapidly than it should.

Iodine Level and Zinc Level Tests $10
These simple tests tell us if the necessary levels of iodine and zinc are low your system.

 

Additional supplies:

Home Urine and Saliva pH Paper $12
We use this paper to have you check your first morning urine and saliva pH each day to measure the amount of acid load in your system.

Thyroid Test/Basal Thermometer $16
This special thermometer is used to assess your early morning body temperature to see if your metabolism is running slower than it should.

 

Advanced Testing

Alcat Food Sensitivity Testing $199 to $599

This test involves checking your blood for reactions to various foods and chemical substances. It is far more accurate than skin testing for food allergies as it measures all 4 types of reactions, not just the IgE reaction tested in skin tests. Food sensitivities are often the most critical health issue for some people. We send you to a local lab for this test.

Metabolic Glucose Tolerance Testing $39/$95
This test involves checking your blood sugar several times over a 2-hour period after challenging the system with a 45g sugar challenge. This test shows us whether you over react to sugar creating hypoglycemic patterns or whether you under react to sugar producing insilin resistant pre-Diabetic patterns. This difference is critical in creating a healthy diet for your body.

Nutra Spec Diet Testing $45
This collection of tests reveals the presence of imbalances or dysfunctions in cellular energy metabolism, cell wall functionality, acid levels, autonomic nerve balance and mineral levels with appropriate dietary modifications to recreate balance.

Health Express Heart Rate Variability Exam $30
This computer heart monitor test enables us to measure the actual level of your physical fitness based on adaptive reserve and autonomic balance in your heart and blood vessels.

Adrenal Stress Index - Salivary Hormonal Testing $99
This mailed in lab test directly measures Cortisol and DHEA to determine the current state of adrenal function. This test also includes a secretory IgA test, Giladen sensitivity, and Insulin level as chronic gut inflammation and blood sugar problems are the main cause of adrenal problems.

Salivary Hormonal Testing-male/female $83 - $178
This mailed in lab test directly measures the levels of male or female hormones and their precursors for evaluation of hormonal dysfunction.

Blood Type Test $25
This is your typical A, B, O blood type evaluation, important for assessing possible food lectin reactions.
