Basic Nutrition Deficiency Testing

Certified Nutrition Coaches offer individual tests kits so that you can learn more about your individual biochemistry.  These test kits help to identify nutritional deficiencies in a key targeted area before they become chronic problems. 

Traditional nutritional testing, as well as conventional blood laboratory tests, measures the nutrients that happen to be in your blood at any given time.  But to really know what's going on in your body, you need to know if these nutrients are getting into your cells and how your cells are using them.  One of the best ways to do that is to look at the end products of your metabolism in your urine. 

All test kits are mailed directly to your home and your assigned Certified Nutrition Coach will provide instructions for completion.

If your test results indicate the need, you will be provided with a 30-day supply of a targeted product designed to address your specific need. 

Detox Test  (Detoxification Support) - $330 value!

Assesses your body's natural ability to detoxify itself.  The Detox Test looks for lipid peroxides as an indicator of free radical damage.  High levels of lipid peroxides are associated with cancer, heart disease, stroke, and aging.
Detox Test:  $139.95
Supporting Product:  $69.95

Allergy Test  (IgG, Delayed Food Sensitivities/Allergies)

• Do you have sinus and respiratory problems?
• Do you have occasional digestive problems such as diarrhea, constipation, and heartburn?

Puzzling health problems may be a result of a compromised gastrointestinal tract lining, allowing chronic exposure to incompletely metabolized foods.  These compounds may be mistaken for "invaders" by your body's immune system, triggering what may seem like an allergic reaction.  The Allergy Test detects reactions to 10 of the most commonly reactive foods.

Digestion Test (Cellular Level Protein Absorption in the Gut)

If you suffer from any of the following, your body could be starving for protein:

• Bloating, belching, burning, sense of fullness after meals
• Headaches
• Fatigue
• Poor skin repair and reduced elasticity
• Brittle hair and nails

Your body is primarily made of protein. During digestion, protein is broken down into amino acids, which are your body's building blocks.  If you cannot absorb these amino acids, you will not be able to repair, replace, and rebuild your tissues.  Unabsorbed dietary protein is "fermented" in the intestines by bad bacteria, dumping toxic byproducts into your system and contributing to a host of health problems.

The Digestion Test analyzes urine for the presence of indicant, a metabolite of tryptophan produced in the bowel by the action of gastrointestinal bacteria on unabsorbed dietary protein.  Too much indicant can mean you are not digesting protein the way you should be.

Adrenal Test ( Adrenal Gland Function, DHEA/Cortisol Ratios)

Stress is far more widespread and more destructive than most people realize.  Stress is linked to deteriorating physical and mental health, as well as decreased willingness to take on new and creative endeavors.  The Adrenal Test is designed to help you learn how well your body is adapting to the stressors of life.  Researchers have established optimum levels of certain hormones, relevant to stress, for specific periods of day and night.  We compare your levels with the optimum levels to determine how well your body is adapting.  Your Adrenal Test results will also determine your appropriate customized adrenal support formula.
Adrenal Test:  $99.95
Supporting Product:  I $34.95/ StressCaps II $39.95

Metabolism Test (Weight Management Support)

The Metabolism Test evaluates your unique biochemistry and your personal risk for altered carbohydrate metabolism.  Based on your current lean body mass and activity level, the Metabolism Test calculations reveal your metabolism ratios of carbohydrates and proteins.  Bottom line, the Metabolism Test tells you exactly how much protein you should be eating everyday to preserve your lean muscle mass as you lose fat.
The supporting Products aid in regulating blood sugar regulation and insulin response, while supporting the gain of lean body mass.
Metabolism Test:  $99.95
Supporting Product:
Custom Accel  A, B, or C  ($29.95)  - contains varying levels of carbohydrate-moderating nutrients that are coordinated to the specific carbohydrate intake levels determined in the Metabolism Test.

Estrogen Test (Good and Bad Estrogen Ratios)

Estrogen normally stimulates cell division and growth in estrogen-sensitive tissues.  Scientists have determined that too much of a certain "bad" form of estrogen plays a role in causing unbalanced cellular division and growth, and can be an indicator of cancer risk.
The more "good" estrogen you make, the less "bad" and vice versa. The ratio between these two estrogens - called the 2/16A ratio - is critical for healthy hormone function.  This ratio can be positively influenced by things you do every day.  The Estrogen Test measures the balance between your "good" and "bad" estrogen.
Estrogen Test:  $119.95
Supporting Product:  $44.95

Bone Test (Rate of Bone Loss and Risk Factors for Osteoporosis)

If you answer "yes" to any of the following, you may be at risk for rapid bone breakdown.

• Do you have a sedentary occupation and/or inadequate exercise?
• Do you drink large amounts of soft drinks and caffeine?
• Is your alcohol consumption high and/or do you smoke?
• Do you regularly take antacids or anti-ulcer medications?

Bone is living tissue, constantly being broken down and reformed.  Over time your bone metabolism balance can slowly start to reverse.  Formation begins to lag behind breakdown, and your bone structure become porous and fragile. This is how osteoporosis develops.
Complications due to osteoporosis are the 12th leading cause of death in America.  More than 25 million Americans (about 80% women) are candidates for developing this condition.  It is never too early to test for this silent killer.  The Bone Test will reveal if you have a rapid rate of bone breakdown.
