Micronutrient Analysis
Health begins at the cellular level.
​
​
A person's biochemical individuality represents their unique nutritional needs based on their own genetics and lifestyle. General recommendations of specific nutrient needs may not be the optimal amount you need for health. When we are in a state of disease, such as with obesity or metabolic syndrome, or we are looking to achieve optimal well-being it's worthwhile to assess your bio-individuality.
Cellular deficiencies can have a significant impact on our health status, and metabolic functioning. Micronutrient analysis testing can paint you a full picture of your health and show you exactly what you may be deficient in.
It evaluates 31 different vitamin, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants. The test can also give us an inside look on your cell's ability to withstand oxidative stress and metabolize carbohydrates.
​
With this knowledge we can develop a repletion plan with targeted nutrients, supplementation as needed and solid dietary habits in order to improve symptoms.
Who should get testing?
This test can be beneficial for anyone who is interested in assessing their cellular nutrient status and improving their health, but especially with symptoms, such as:
​
-
Fatigue
-
Mood swings
-
Difficulty losing weight
-
Insulin resistance
-
Intense cravings
-
Difficulty concentrating/hard to focus
-
Vulnerable to colds/illnesses
-
Low energy
-
Acne
-
Decreased athletic performance
Minerals are vital to enzymatic reactions, metabolic activity, and detoxification cycles. These are baseline biological processes that are required for effective fat loss. Our bodies need the correct balance of minerals in order to properly absorb and utilize vitamins and nutrients for health outcomes.
Mineral imbalances have been linked to:
​
-
Chronic fatigue
-
Inflammation
-
Poor gut health
-
Malabsorption
-
Headaches
-
Depression/anxiety
-
Weight gain or loss
-
Osteoporosis

Mind-Body Connection
When we talk about functional well-being and optimal health in the context of behavior changes, fat loss, and life-long weight management we must emphasize the structural base that is the connection of our minds to our bodies and how this powerfully impacts our health and way of living.
Healing interventions that we implement for weight management are:
​
-
Mental skills training (visualization, centering, meditation, etc.)
-
Relaxation response
-
Restorative movement (walking, yoga, dance etc.)
-
Spiritual connection
-
Journaling
-
Nervous system regulation
-
Emotional coping
-
Habit & mentality building
Our subconscious is where our habitual patterns are programmed.
How we internally operate (organ/motor functions), how we perceive environmental context, why we do what we do (behavior) or feel the way that we feel (emotions), the development of our attitudes, personal values and beliefs all are embedded in our subconscious minds.
How we change our behaviors is rooted in addressing our habitual programmed patterns and pairing it with healing and stress reduction modalities.
