In-Office Chemical Tests (Urine, Saliva)
Recent developments in urine testing have made it possible to look into the more subtle levels of human bio-chemistry.
Metabolic by-products found in urine reveal the negative direction one's health is moving in, and can provide insight into the causes of many conditions.
Many "Baby Boomers" diseases, such as Osteoporosis, Cardiovascular Conditions, Hypertension, and Arthritis can be linked to increases in these metabolic by-products and toxins.
Many of these by-products, if not addressed, can lead to chronic illness.
By monitoring the key metabolic markers mentioned here, once can target lifestyle changes and nutritional supplements properly to improve cellular metabolism and lessen stress on the body.
The foillowing tests are key markers necessary to make informed decisions on health status and nutritional support.
When performed together, they reveal important trends not otherwise available.
Sugars
Sugar metabolism is tremendously important with regards to the body's ability to access and appropriate energy production pathways.
Without proper glycemic control, energy will fluctuate.
This measurement is for total urinary sugars, not just glucose.
Urinary sugars are tested to measure both high and low levels in the body.
Mineral Salts - Electrolytes
Mineral salt compounds can destroy tissue, over-stimulate the nervous system, and threaten the health of the heart.
This test will identify the levels of mineral salts.
People with decreased mineral salts tend to be more fatigued, anemic and have weak energy or dull chi (oriental medicine).
They tend to be prone to cold temperatures and lower blood pressure.
On the other hand, high electrolyte types tend to have more oxidation, higher blood pressure and stress, which can lead to hypertension and cardiac stress.
Ureas: Nitrates & Ammonias
This test will accurately measure Ureas, which are waste products left over from normal chemical reactions in the body.
High amounts of these by-products can burden the liver and kidneys over time.
Weak kidney and liver function are foundational in many chronic conditions.
Urinary Bone Marker
This quick and accurate test measures the rate of bone collagen loss.
It provides a quantitative measurement of a metabolite known as NTx in the urine.
This test can help determine the relative risk for bone loss as well as monitor therapeutic effects.
It is also very helpful in monitoring of postmenopausal women, those clients diagnosed with osteoporosis, and Paget's disease.
Lipid Panel
This panel evaluates cholesterol levels, HDL/LDL cholesterol ratios, and triglycerides.
Each of these important markers provides the information necessary to tailor a program to improve overall health and prevent heart disease.
Blood Pressure
Hypertension is one of the risk factors leading to heart attacks and stroke.
By monitoring blood pressure, you can take steps to decrease the workload of the heart and stop arteriosclerosis.
Over 90% of hypertension is known as essential, meaning there is no identifiable cause.
By improving lifestyle, nutrition, and exercise, positive effects in this area can be experienced.
