NUTRITIONAL BLOOD CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS (NBCA)

(Over 44 Blood Tests)

Tests include:  

• General Blood Chemistry,
  
• Lipid Profile (Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL, LDL, & Ratios),
  
• Complete Blood Count with Differential, and
  
• a complete Thyroid Panel (T3, T4, FTI, and TSH)
• 
  

The NBCA includes a Vitamin and Mineral Assessment of the following nutrients:

• functional measure of B1, B6, Folic Acid B12, D, Copper, HCL, Mg, Omega 3, Water (Dehydration), Zinc, and
  
• a direct measure of Blood Calcium, Phosphorus, Iron, Sodium, Total Protein, in addition to Metabolic pH and malnutrition.

Provides nutritional assessment:

• for liver, gall bladder and biliary function
• kidney function,
  
• electrolyte balance,
  
• germs,
  
• blood thyroid,
  
• and more.

TISSUE MINERAL HAIR ANALYSIS (TMA)

AND HEAVY - TOXIC METALS

(54 Tests)

1. Female Hormone Profile (FHP) for Cycling or No Menses Less than 2 Years (11 Saliva Samples Tested)  or     
2. Pre-, Peri- and Post-Menopause Profile for Women with a Diagnosis of Menopause, have had a partial or complete Hysterectomy, or No Menses 2 or more years (1 Saliva Sample)

A Clinical Nutrition Analysis of Saliva Hormone Tests identifies eight or more female hormone deficiencies or excesses, i.e., hormone imbalances in DHEA, testosterone, progesterone, and estrogens (E1, E2, E3), LH and FSH, which can lead to the following:

• PMS,
  
• Excessive, Spotting & Irregular Menstruation,
  
• Infertility,
  
• Temperature Sensitivity (Too Cold/Too Hot)
  
• Hyper-Estrogen,
  
• Female Masculinization,
  
• Dysmenorrhea,
  
• Ammenorrhea,
  
• Ovarian Dysfunction,
  
• Hot Flashes and Sweats as in Pre-, Peri- and Post-Menopause,
  
• Endometriosis,
  
• other Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA Deficiency or Excess-related symptoms, and
  
• Identifies Potential or Pattern towards Breast/Uterine Cancer, Cysts, Fibroids and Tumors.
  
• Note:  The expanded Female Hormone Panel includes the LH and FSH.  In other words, testing for female hormone imbalances that originate in the brain.

THE ADRENAL AND THYROID GLANDS
 

ADRENAL STRESS INDEX (ASI)

SALIVA HORMONE TESTS

(7 Tests) 

A Clinical Nutrition Analysis of the Adrenal Saliva Hormone Tests Identifies the Three Stages of Adrenal Stress from Normal to Alarm to Exhaustion (Burn Out), i.e., the sufficient, deficiencies or excesses of adrenal hormones.

A long-term Adrenal hormone imbalance eventually leads to:

• Tiredness that rest will not resolve,
  

• Exhaustion,

• Mental Fatigue,

• Chronic Fatigue,

• Emotional Stress,

• Physical Stress,

• Female/Male Hormone Imbalances,
  

• Heart Weakness, etc. 
  

People who are overworked (Physically, Mentally and / or Emotionally) or those who are in an ongoing or constant state of worry or anxiety secrete a on-going stream of adrenal and thyroid hormone to adapt to the mental, emotional or physical stress.

Some people work in crisis-oriented, community service jobs, like police, fire-fighters, and social workers.  Due to the nature of the profession and the situations they encounter  --  adrenal hormone release occurs frequently throughout each work day to assist them in dealing with hostile, dangerous, or high stressful and challenging situations.

Statistics reveal that in retirement, many of our heroes die prematurely of heart attacks, as early as after five years in retirement.  One of the reasons for this is the heart has been conditioned to extreme highs and lows of adrenaline rush, and in retirement, the stress on the heart becomes evident as it goes through withdrawal symptoms as severe as heart attacks.

In time, up and down production of adrenal hormones throughout one's routine work day may lead to Emotional, Physical and Mental Stress (Burn-out) due to a dysfunctional, overworked or weak adrenal system.

This is much like a car with the pedal to the metal -- without letting up, it will eventual burn out the engine.  Our community service workers require clinical nutrition support to maintain healthy adrenals.

Parents who are constantly on-the-go or people who are overworked, also, fall into this state of adrenal burnout.   (For more information, read below the section titled, "The Adrenal and Thyroid Glands" to understand how overworking these glands leads to female or male hormone dysfunction in the in the youthful, as well as the elderly years.

(7 Tests)

Women experience menopause and men experience andropause as they age.  However, today, Male hormone imbalance affects the young and the old.  A Clinical Nutrition Analysis of seven Male Saliva Hormone Tests identifies the deficiencies and excesses which may lead to: 

• Hypo-fertility,
  
• Prostate Hypertrophy,
  
• Testicular Hyper- & Hypo-Function, etc.
• Low Libido/Performance,
  
• Male baldness. 
  
• Pituitary Hormone Function
  
• and more.

THYROID SALIVA HORMONE TESTS

(4 Tests)  

A Clinical Nutrition Analysis of the Thyroid Hormone Tests identifies the deficiencies or excesses that affect thyroid hormone balance.  Thyroid Hormone imbalance leads to:

• Abnormal weight gain/loss,
  
• Temperature Imbalances (too cold,/hot),
  
• Chronic Fatigue,
  
• Hypo- and Hyper-Thyroidism,
  
• Menstrual Infrequency,
  
• Palpitations,
  
• Mental Confusion,
  
• Lack of Concentration,
  
• and much more.
