Lab Testing & Analysis
Our testing looks at
Inflammation
Excessive inflammation means your micro & macro nutrients are not going to you muscles, tendons, ligaments, guts or hormone production for recovery. Instead these nutrients are becoming to the cells that fight off inflammation, as well as becoming the fuel for the cells that fight off inflammation. In cases of chronic inflammation this leads to muscle, tendon and ligament injury, leaky gut, and hormone imbalances.
Mitochondrial Health
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of energy production in the body. They are in every cell. If your mitochondria are not functioning optimally you are not functioning optimally.
Detoxification
We are exposed to toxins in many way. Diet, our environment (air quality, hot/cold exposure), medications, over training to name a few. Its our ability to get rid of the various types of toxins is what prevent us from reaching a toxic level. When our detox capacity drops we experience poor performance, injury, illness, or worse.
75% of the immune system lives in the gut. When the gut lining breaks down you get “leaky gut” which allows bacteria and large food particles pass through that would normally be excreted. With leaky gut you can experience nutrient malabsorption, autoimmunity, food intolerances, breeches in the blood brain barrier, as well as systemic inflammation.
Gut Health
Hormones & Neurotransmitters
Neurotransmitters are communication molecules to and within the brain, as well as to the organs that produce hormones recovery and performance. This means the brain, thyroid, sex organs and adrenals all work together. In order to get a fuller understanding of how each is affected, they need to be assessed as a whole.
