STEROID BALANCE

a simple yet powerful tool that assists in the prevention of disease and the promotion of healthy aging by balancing the processes that direct growth and healing (anabolic) versus wear and tear (catabolic).

BONE RESORPTION ASSESSMENT

provides an accurate assessment of the rate of bone turnover in an individual. Testing allows the practitioner to identify those more likely to develop osteoporosis, to intervene before significant loss has occurred, and to monitor the efficacy of treatment regimens.

HORMONAL HEALTH

Gastrointestinal Tests

BACTERIAL OVERTGROWTH OF SMALL INTESTINE

Breath Test (BOSI) A simple, non-invasive test detects bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine, a common condition that often underlies chronic symptoms of maldigestion and malabsorption, including bloating, gas, diarrhea, irregularity, and abdominal pain.

CELIAC PROFILE

Celiac disease is defined as a genetic, immune mediated enteropathy of the small bowel that results in malabsorption. The disease is characterized by a sensitivity to the proteins found in wheat, and to a lesser extent, barley and rye.

a powerful and noninvasive assessment of small intestinal absorption and barrier function in the bowel. The small intestine uniquely functions as a digestive/absorptive organ for nutrients as well as a powerful immune and mechanical barrier against excessive absorption of bacteria, food antigens, and other macromolecules. Both malabsorption and increased intestinal permeability (“leaky gut”) are associated with chronic gastrointestinal imbalances as well as many systemic disorders.
