Balance Your Inner Chemistry

  • You've been struggling with digestive discomfort, including symptoms like bloating, gas, and acid reflux, coupled with mood swings, weakened immunity, and fluctuating energy levels, this test might be the perfect fit for you.

    This hassle-free, at-home test delves deep into your digestive system's performance, shedding light on how well it functions. By examining your energy and mood metabolites using a simple urine sample, we unravel the mysteries behind your health.

    Plus, this test can reveal whether your current nutrition truly provides all the essential vitamins you need. It's your passport to a clearer understanding of your digestive and metabolic well-being, enabling you to address any imbalances and regain that vibrant, energetic you.

    This test is incredibly comprehensive, examining a wide range of areas with its thorough assessment of 75 biomarkers. It is one of the more comprehensive tests available.

    If you were to run only one at-home lab test to assess the overall state of your digestion, microbial probiotic balance, and gut health, it would be this test.

  • •Boating & gas

    •Acid reflux

    •Constipation

    •Diarrhea

    •Mood irregularities

    •Immune dysfunction

    •Fatigue

    •Inflammation & joint pain

    •Skin rashes

  • •Gut Microbial Markers – Yeast & fungal, bacterial, clostridia bacteria, oxalate metabolites, glycolytic metabolites (mitochondria dysfunction affecting energy production), mitochondria markers (amino acids & Krebs cycle metabolites), neurotransmitter metabolites (chemical messengers), pyrimidine metabolites (folate metabolism), ketone & fatty acid oxidation.

    •Nutritional Markers – Identify nutrient imbalances. In order for the body to run effectively, it needs the right level of vitamins and minerals to act as cofactors for enzymatic reactions. Without enough of these nutritional cofactors (or if someone has genetic mutations that affect how well their enzymes work), these chemical pathways are unable to function optimally. This test will look at Vitamin B12, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin C, Vitamin Q10 (CoQ10), N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) -key antioxidant precursor for glutathione, & Biotin (Vitamin H).

    •Detoxification Capacity – Identify glutathione levels. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant in our cells and protects against toxicity. Inadequate glutathione increases oxidative stress in the brain and nervous system, that can lead to poor attention, focus and overall cognitive challenges. Glutathione deficiency can also compromise immune system health. Glutathione is an essential compound involved in liver detoxification of chemicals.

    •Amino Acid Metabolites –Amino acids have major metabolic functions and roles in the body.

    •Mineral Metabolism – Assess elevated levels of phosphoric acid. Measures phosphoric acid linked to dietary consumption metabolism and/or vitamin D status. High phosphorus levels can cause damage to your body. High oxalates in the GI tract may also significantly reduce absorption of essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and others. Oxalate can trap heavy metals such as mercury, lead, and arsenic in the body and lead to mineral imbalances.

Discover Your Heart Health

  • You recognise the importance of a comprehensive approach to heart health and overall cardiovascular well-being.

    When it comes to safeguarding your heart and ensuring overall cardiovascular health, monitoring cholesterol and blood pressure alone may not provide the full picture.

    Often, it's the levels of inflammation in your body that offer a more accurate indicator of your overall cardiovascular well-being. Prolonged inflammation can contribute to a variety of health challenges, ranging from joint discomfort to elevated blood pressure and persistent fatigue. These issues can significantly impact your well-being if left unaddressed. This is precisely where the Omega-3 test steps in.

    This convenient at-home lab meticulously measures the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fats, enabling a thorough analysis of potential inflammation concerns.

    By examining these ratios, we can see if there are concerning levels of inflammation and work to rebalance optimal levels.

  • •Poor cardiovascular health

    •Blood pressure imbalances

    •Joint inflammation

    •Mood imbalances

    •Low energy or fatigue

    •Premature aging

  • •Omega-6:Omega-3 Ratio (AA/EPA)

    Omega-3's and 6's are essential in the diet since our body can not manufacture them on its own.

    Omega-6's also serve an important purpose and are more widely available in the diet, so there's a potential for imbalance between inflammatory and anti-inflammatory fats.

    Optimal levels of omega-3's result in decreased inflammation which works to support cardiovascular health, cognitive function, mood, immune function, and provide nutrients for healthy skin, hair, and nails.

Uncover Your Energy Blueprint & Hidden Toxic Heavy Metals

  • You are struggling with stress, fatigue, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed, as these could be signs of strain on your nervous system.

    Minerals are foundational for overall good health and should not be underestimated. Minerals, including vital electrolytes, not only provide the energy needed for your daily activities but also act as buffers against the effects of stress. Imbalances in essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium can not only lead to fatigue but may also signal underlying health issues.

    This test offers a comprehensive assessment of your adrenal function, which plays a pivotal role in supporting your body's response to stress, along with evaluating your potential exposure to toxic metals. When mineral reserves are depleted, electrolytes become imbalanced, or you've encountered high levels of toxic metals, your ability to manage stress effectively may be compromised, leading to various health challenges.

    Given that toxins are unavoidable and we encounter heavy metals daily through sources such as food, air and water pollution, medications, and even personal care products, it's crucial to address these concerns. Common heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury can contribute to health challenges.

  • •High stress

    •Low energy & fatigue

    •Poor sleep

    •Headaches

    •Skin rashes

    •Tingling or numbness

  • •Minerals & Electrolytes – Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Copper (Cu), Manganese (Mn), Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr), Selenium (Se), Phosphorus (P), Iron (Fe)

    •Toxic Heavy Metals – Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Aluminum

    •Additional Minerals – Nickel, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Lithium

beyond allergies:

Unmask Your Food Sensitivities

  • Even with a healthy diet, you suspect that certain health concerns may be related to food. Unlike typical food allergies, an IgG reaction to certain foods can trigger hidden immune reactions within 24-72 hours after consumption, making it difficult to link to an offending food.

    This at-home lab offers a comprehensive evaluation of sensitivity levels (ranging from mild to severe) to over 90 common foods. By taking this test, you'll gain invaluable insights into which foods to avoid while trying to optimise your body's function.

    It's important to note that an IgG food sensitivity is distinct from a food allergy, which primarily detects severe, life-threatening, or immediate reactions. Instead, an IgG food sensitivity test uncovers foods that may be causing concealed immune responses, potentially leading to unbalanced inflammation.

    By identifying the common foods to which you have an IgG sensitivity, you can proactively eliminate them from your diet for a period of time while rebalancing your body. This adjustment equips your body to function more effectively while reducing the risk of inflammation. The test not only provides a comprehensive analysis of the most common food sensitivities but also offers a snapshot of potential yeast and candida issues, enabling you to make essential dietary adjustments and alleviate challenging symptoms.

  • •Itchy skin

    •Headaches or migraines

    •Joint pain or stiffness

    •Brain fog

    •Low mood or irritability

    •Muscle weakness

    •Fatigue

    •Gut irritability

    •Diarrhea or constipation

    •Asthma

    •Ear infections

    •Eczema

    •Sinusitis

    •Colitis

  • •IgG Antibody Reactions – Test for mild, moderate or severe reactions to the most commonly eaten foods. Measurement of IgG antibodies goes above and beyond typical food allergy tests since it pinpoints the foods causing hidden immune reactions 24-72 hours after you ingest the food.

    •Candida Albicans & Yeast – Fungus that naturally lives on your body.

    Candida Albicans and Yeast are common species of a specific fungus typically found in small amounts in your mouth, on your skin and in your intestines. Healthy bacteria in your microbiome control the balance of Candida and Yeast. When Candida and Yeast are constantly off-balance, the overgrowth can cause food sensitivities.
