Wellness Plan

100% TAILORED TO YOU, PROVIDING YOU WITH OPTIMAL WELLNESS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE

Our wellness plan aims to develop a personalized treatment for you alongside a practical and client-focused experience. We first start with a functional genetic test discovery process, then move on to the interpretation and development of the wellness options tailored to the individual. Once those stages are complete, we will begin with the agreed-upon wellness plan.

What Functional Testing Tells Us About You

 

Comprehensive Gastrointestinal Analysis – Detects the presence of pathogenic microorganisms such as yeast, parasites, and bacteria that contribute to chronic illness and neurological dysfunction. It provides helpful information about prescription and natural products effective against specific strains detected in your GI tract. The test also evaluates beneficial bacteria levels, intestinal immune function, overall intestinal health, and inflammation markers.

Many chronic disorders come from digestive problems and inadequate nutrient absorption. Proper gastrointestinal function is needed to eliminate toxic substances, pathogenic microbes, and undigested food particles from the body to prevent health problems. Nutrients require a specific internal environment to be properly digested and transported throughout the body.

Abnormal intestinal microorganisms in the GI tract are widely known to cause disease. Research shows a relationship between the GI tract and the neurological, hepatic, and immune systems. For example, excessive yeast produces toxic substances that can pass through the blood-brain barrier and alter neurological functioning causing “brain fog,” behavior problems, and learning difficulties.

Food Sensitivity – Immunoglobulin G (IgG) food testing is a valuable guide for structuring elimination diets for patients with many chronic conditions. Individuals with neurological, gastrointestinal, movement and behavioral disorders often suffer from IgG food sensitivities. People may continue to eat offending foods, unaware of their potential adverse effects. Symptoms associated with food sensitivities may occur hours or days after symptoms ate the offending food because IgG food antibodies remain much more extended than IgE antibodies. IgE food allergy causes histamine release, producing an immediate hypersensitivity reaction. In contrast, IgG food sensitivity is triggered by the binding of complement to IgG food antigen complexes, causing an inflammatory response. This is a delayed hypersensitivity reaction in which symptoms appear anywhere from hours to days after eating the offending food.

According to numerous clinical studies, eliminating IgG-positive foods may improve symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, autism, AD(H)D, cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and epilepsy. The benefits of food sensitivity testing include determining if food reactions contribute to physical or mental symptoms. Removing highly reactive foods from the diet is a non-invasive therapy that often mitigates symptoms. After testing, eliminating all identified IgG-positive foods can reduce stress on the immune system, decrease inflammation (helping to heal “leaky gut”), resolve food cravings, and reduce the potential for eating disorders. The food antibodies that are reported in this area include:

Heavy Metals – Heavy metals toxicity caused by increasing levels of pollution and the use of chemicals in industry is a growing threat to our health and the development of our children. High levels of toxic metals deposited in body tissues and subsequently in the brain may cause significant developmental and neurological damage. Heavy metal testing is ideal for checking current exposure to toxic metals. If too much metal gets into your body, it can cause heavy metal poisoning. Heavy metal poisoning can lead to serious health problems. These include organ damage, behavioral changes, and difficulties with thinking and memory. The specific symptoms and how they will affect you depend on the type of metal and how much it is in your system.

There is evidence that “chronic” or long-term exposure to lower levels of heavy metals also causes health problems. Chronic serious metal poisoning symptoms can be severe but are often less noticeable and develop much more slowly over time than the symptoms caused by acute exposure. Many chronic heavy metal toxicity symptoms can include headache, weakness, muscle pain, joint pains, constipation, and fatigue. The metals that are reported in this test include:

TOXIC

• Arsenic
• Barium
• Cadmium
• Cobalt
• Lead
• Mercury
