If you are interested in any of the tests below, please give us a call today to schedule an appointment and get started.

Inflammation (CRP) & Vitamin D

The test will measure high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and Vitamin D levels, and a physician will review the results to assess whether your levels indicate any inflammation in the body and whether it is due to low Vitamin D levels.

CRP in the blood is a marker of inflammation that can cause a wide variety of diseases like cancer and heart disease and be responsible for infection, pain, and injury.

Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic in our society. This is no minor issue. Insufficient Vitamin D levels can lead to:

  • Abnormal immune function
  • Inability to fight infections
  • Muscle dysfunction
  • Abnormal cardiovascular regulation
  • Respiratory system dysfunction
  • Negative impacts on brain development
  • Depression, osteoporosis, heart disease, autoimmune disease, infection, hypertension, and cancer

Basic Food Sensitivity & Candida

This basic food allergy test checks food intolerance to 96 common food items in the American diet and Candida.

Comprehensive Food Sensitivity Test & Candida

This comprehensive food allergy test checks food intolerance to 208 common food items in the American diet, 48 inhalants, and Candida.

A food reactivity is different than an immediately life-threatening food allergy. Food reactivity is a delayed immune response by the Immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody, the most abundant circulating antibody in our immune system. Studies suggest that an IgG immune response may contribute to headaches, joint and muscle pain, eczema, gut malabsorption, and other serious, and chronic health conditions.

DNA Health & Wellness

This revolutionary saliva-based DNA test evaluates hundreds of your genes. By peering into your cells and seeing how they are individually expressed in your body, we can help improve your health and optimize your future. Genes contain the hereditary material that gives your body instruction for building, operating and maintaining all life functions. How these genes are expressed determines health tendencies, challenges with toxins, cholesterol, weight, inflammation, and absorbing key nutrients, disease susceptibility, and your unique lifestyle requirements. This genotyping allows you control the environmental factors affecting your body, giving you more power to express well-being and prevent disease.
