subject: Metabolic Testing For Whole Health [print this page] When someone suffers from Fibromyalgia, Chronic Migraines, Hashimoto's, Peripheral Neuropathy or other chronic conditions there is usually some type of metabolic portion that also needs to be addressed with the neurological side of the equation.
Now when I talk about metabolic conditions I mean some system in your body is not right and we need to improve it so it will work correctly and your health will improve. Do you have an autoimmunity, some anemia, a blood sugar regulation problem or difficulty utilizing certain vitamins, minerals or fats effectively? We check metabolic problems with various methods including:
Sensitivity Testing
Complete Blood Panels
Adrenal Stress Index (ASI)
Immune Panels
Intestinal Permeability
Hormone Panels
The blood work is used to assess the functioning level of your gut, immune system, kidneys, liver, heart, inflammation level and pancreas. We use stool sample tests to see if you are sensitive to a various array of foods by looking at the antibodies and genes located in your stool. We also see if you have leaky gut syndrome, if you have a parasite or what level your normal bacteria is in your intestinal system. We also use saliva tests to check your hormone levels, your adrenal function and a vast number of other functioning systems in your body.
We use these tests so we can get a complete picture of what is going on in your system as a whole. When was the last time your "regular doctor" ordered all of these tests? If he only orders a few of these tests he can only see a portion of your system and not the entire body and what makes it function. The main problem with the treatments some doctors prescribe for these conditions is that they never go after the root of the problem, but focus on the symptoms. When we get the tests back we can then truly evaluate your system, put together a complete natural supplement and vitamin program designed especially for you and start you on the track to complete healing.
By utilizing brain based therapy, metabolic testing, chiropractic and neurology we can and do get amazing results with our patients.
