Evaluating your nutrient status helps provide deeper insight.
Evaluating your nutrient status can inform you and your practitioner of your deficiencies, excesses, and imbalances including mineral & vitamin testing and your methylation profile.
Nutrient Status Test Types
Mineral Testing
Being low in calcium and magnesium can negatively affect bone mass; being low in selenium and zinc can negatively affect the prostate. Knowing your deficiencies can be the first step in correcting them and attaining better health. Mineral deficiencies are very common and can be associated with consuming foods that are low in minerals, consuming foods that have been grown in low mineral soils (this is common these days) and overuse of demineralized water including reverse osmosis (RO). Although RO water is very pure and free of toxins, it is also void of minerals. Mineral deficiencies can cause minor symptoms like fatigue, but often go undetected.
Vitamin Testing
Vitamin D has become a popular blood test recently, and it is very important. But the others are important too! Vitamin A, E, K, B1, B2, B3, folate, the list goes on. Every single vitamin plays a vital role in healthy cellular structure, metabolism, energy production and healing. This test can evaluate your vitamin status so you can address any deficiencies that may be leading you to sub-optimal health.
Methylation Profile
Methylation is an integral factor affecting various processes in your body including your body’s detoxification process, cardiovascular, neurological, and reproductive health as well as DNA replication and energy production. Evaluating the status of nutrients and co-factors that affect methylation, both positively and negatively, paints us a picture of how you are methylating and whether inefficiencies could lead to disease. With the right support, inefficient methylation can be easily corrected, and optimal health can be restored.
