Testing for nutritional imbalance or deficiencies is not merely for people who are experiencing some type of symptom or discomfort.

Nutritional testing can be invaluable even for healthy people because almost all of us are born with inherited genetic weakness that causes us to be more prone to certain illnesses.

We can prevent and even correct many of those weaknesses by taking extra nutrients when necessary.

The public health service states in the Surgeon General’s report on nutrition that four out of ten leading causes of death in America (Heart Disease, Cancer, Strokes, and Diabetes) are associated with diet and nutrition.

Based on this information many health experts believe that other common maladies, infirmities, and illness are caused by nutritional deficiencies.

Keeping in mind that each of us is metabolically unique, some absorb nutrients better than others, have individual nutritional needs, or burn through certain vitamins more quickly.

What is the survey systems form?

The systems Survey is a questionnaire of symptoms that correlate with the many organs and glands of your body. While one single symptom does not provide us with much information, a pattern of symptoms can uncover many underlying health imbalances.

This is the purpose of the systems survey form. With this information we can build and individualized program designed to support your primary concerns and health goals. Review and complete the survey.

What is the nutritional exam?

The nutritional exam is a series of non-invasive tests that quickly and accurately provide information vital to the assessment of your overall health.

The results from your nutritional consultation, combined with the results from your Nutritional Exam and systems survey form, give the health care practitioner a thorough understanding of your overall health.

Some of these tests include:

• • How well you digest and process foods
  • How your body handles blood sugar
  • How your body processes essential and dietary fats
  • Key Essential mineral Evaluations

• • Calcium
  • Iodine
  • Potassium
  • Zinc

What are symptoms?

Your body’s main purpose is to maintain balance and optimal health. A symptom is a sensation or change in the body’s normal functioning; signaling that is off balance. Body systems not functioning properly can often indicate underlying health challenges.

How we use symptoms to your advantage.

Many times specific symptoms appear that actually give us valuable information as to what your body needs.

The key to achieving proper health is understanding and interpreting the signs and signals that are revealed. Many times these signs and signals can lead us to the root of many larger problems.

In our office we have a variety of methods for evaluating your health status on many levels. The systems survey and nutritional exam give us vital information that helps determine and support your specific health needs and goals.
