GI Map

Our gut health plays a big role in our overall health. Gut function is directly tied to hormone balance, brain function, mood, energy production, chronic pain, inflammation, insomnia and so much more. GI Map identifies hidden gut issues that may be contributing to chronic health issues that you may be experiencing. GI Map is a comprehensive stool test which includes the following makers: parasitic pathogens, bacterial pathogens, fungi/yeast, H pylori, normal bacterial flora, phyla microbiota, and opportunistic bacteria. It also includes markers for gluten sensitivity, inflammation in the gut, pancreatic enzyme sufficiency and occult blood. This a stool test.

 

Common GI issues include:

• digestion issues, diarrhea or constipation - skin issues: acne, eczema, psoriasis - brain fog

• mood disorders: depression, anxiety - blood sugar issues - autoimmune disease

HTMA Test

HTMA is a test that analyzes the mineral content and heavy metals in hair. This test provides us with information about your metabolic rate, thyroid function, blood sugar regulation, cellular hydration, stages of stress, inflammation, immune system and body’s ability to detox. Hair contains minerals, although the hair is dead, the minerals remain as the hair continues to grow out. A sample of hair cut close to the scalp provides us with information about mineral activity within the past 3-4 months, depending on the rate of hair growth.  

 

Minerals in the hair uncover several things about your health:

• early indicator of health concerns

• thyroid balance

• blood sugar handling issues

• sex hormone imbalances

• HPA - dysfunction (adrenal fatigue)

• heavy metal toxicity

• mineral deficiencies

• oxidation rate (for proper macronutrient ratios: protein, fats, carbohydrates)

• ATP - energy production

• copper toxicity or dysregulation

Dutch Complete – Hormone Panel

Hormones play a vital role in our physical and mental health. Balancing the body’s hormones is crucial to maintaining optimum health. This is a comprehensive test that looks at your hormone health and the way that your body produces and metabolizes hormones. This test also provides insights into nutritional defences, oxidative stress (DNA damage marker), gut dysbiosis, melatonin, neuro-inflammation and more.

 

This is a great test if you are experiencing hormone-related issues such as:

• fatigue

• anxiety/depression

• brain fog/forgetfulness

• irritability

• weight gain

• vaginal dryness

• uterine fibroids

• PMS

• hair loss

• loss of libido

• breast tenderness

• mood swings

• irregular menstrual cycles

• chronic stress

• muscle mass loss

• muscle weakness

• nights sweats 

 

 

Food Sensitivity Test

Food sensitivities can cause inflammation which can cascade into other systems causing more dysfunction. IgG Food MAP test is a comprehensive food sensitivity test that measures antibodies to 190 common foods, herbs and spices along with results for candida and yeast. This test is available as a serum or dried blood spot format. This test is an effective way to identify foods that can trigger an inflammatory response. Identifying these food sensitivities can be a crucial part of healing the body and relieving unexplained signs and symptoms. 

 

Candida overgrowth in the gut can lead to a whole host of issues and some common symptoms include fatigue, nail and skin infections, oral thrush, brain fog, mood changes and food cravings. Addressing Candida overgrowth will help in healing the gut and decrease food sensitivities.

 

Common Food sensitivity symptoms include:

• digestive issues: bloating, gas, diarrhea

• skin problems: rashes or eczema

• headaches

• fatigue

• joint pain

• mood changes

Blood Chemistry Analysis

Have you ever been told by your doctor that your blood work is normal yet you don’t feel good or “normal”? Blood chemistry analysis using functional lab references can give us a lot of insight into what’s going on in the body. We use functional lab ranges to identify changes in physiology and try to catch dysfunction early, so that it can be corrected before it turns into a disease. I can interpret your lab results and through a personalized protocol, we can restore function to the body.

Metabolic Typing Test

There is no such thing as one diet for everybody. Each person has unique nutritional requirements dependent upon genetics, physiology, pathology, environment, medications, psychological factors and lifestyle. Metabolic typing test tells us what’s the best diet type to meet your genetic requirements. We work with the macronutrient ratios: protein, carbs, and fats to find the correct ratios based on your body’s requirements. Genetic requirements such as proper fuel make up the modern science of metabolic typing.
