Testing and Evaluation
At Fabulous Healing, we understand that nutrition is deeply personal and unique to each individual. That’s why we’re proud to offer an extensive array of testing options, designed to uncover the specific needs of your body. From advanced gut health assessments like the GI-MAP to specialized tests for food sensitivities, hormonal balances, and metabolic functioning, our goal is to provide you with the insights you need for a truly personalized nutritional plan.
GI-MAP
The GI-MAP is a comprehensive stool testing that detects parasites, bacteria, fungi, and more, by targeting the specific DNA of the organisms tested. The GI-MAP™ quantitatively assesses a patient’s microbiome with attention to bacterial, parasitic, and viral pathogens that can cause disease, disrupt the normal microbial balance, and contribute to chronic GI illness.
Organic Acids
Vitamin deficiencies and imbalances may produce a range of health issues, including fatigue, mood changes, digestive problems, weight issues, sleep abnormalities, and others. The Organic Acids Profile measures 36 organic acids to create a unique patient biochemistry profile that reflects how well the body is obtaining and utilizing nutrients. A customized diet and lifestyle plan can then be established to address to specific nutritional needs.
Organic acids are metabolic intermediates that are produced in pathways of central energy production, detoxification, neurotransmitter breakdown, or intestinal microbial activity. Marked accumulation of specific organic acids detected in urine often signals a metabolic inhibition or block. The metabolic block may be due to a nutrient deficiency, an inherited enzyme deficit, toxic build-up or drug effect. Several of the biomarkers are markers of intestinal bacterial or yeast overgrowth.
The Organic Acids nutritional test profile provides vital patient information from a single urine specimen. This organic acids nutritional test is valuable for determining:
- Functional vitamin and mineral status
- Amino acid insufficiencies like carnitine and NAC
- Oxidative damage and antioxidant need
- Phase I & Phase II detoxification capacity
- Functional B-complex vitamin need
- Neurotransmitter metabolites
- Mitochondrial energy production
- Methylation sufficiency
- Lipoic acid and CoQ10 status
- Markers for bacterial and yeast overgrowth
3×4 Genetics Blueprint
Genetics make up the baseline “code” by which your body functions. The impact of every single choice you make throughout your life is influenced by your personal genetic makeup. This test check over 130 genes that can affect your metabolism, inflammation, detoxification, fitness, weight, hormones, cognition, and response to your diet and supplements.
By understanding how your unique genetics impact these key processes, you can make smarter, more personalized decisions about your health in order to reach your health goals, whatever they may be.
What will you learn from your 3X4 Genetics Test?
The genetic test is designed to provide clear insights and recommendations about areas of health that are most important to you:
- Nutrient needs – What are your body’s unique needs and how do you respond to certain foods? How well do you tolerate fat and carbs? What’s your vitamin D need? Do you require extra antioxidants and Omega-3 fats compared to others? Should you limit gluten, salt or caffeine?
- Fitness strengths – What type of exercise will your body respond best to? How can you train smarter in alignment with your genes, for better performance, faster recovery and fewer injuries?
- Proactive prevention – Is your body more prone to high blood pressure, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol? How can you support your cardiovascular system and your immune system for more resilience as you age? We also look at processes like your inflammation, detoxification, methylation and more.
- Ideal Weight – Why does your body resist weight loss and how can you manage your weight in a healthy way that is personalized to your unique body?
- Stress strategies – How does your life stress affect your brain health, your hormones, your sleep quality and your overall wellness? More importantly, what can you do about it?
Food Intolerance and Sensitivity
Food intolerance and sensitivities are recognized to be correlated with many plaguing health conditions, but with proper identification and elimination of offending foods, many experience relief from their symptoms. These assessment panels can serve as useful tools in the identification of trigger foods in individuals.
Hormone Panel Test
Hormones are chemicals that the body produces to regulate its different functions, such as growth, development, mood, metabolism, sex, and reproduction. Due to various factors, your hormone levels can fluctuate throughout the day and change as you get older.
Even so, an unusual change in your hormone levels can trigger serious issues in your body. These hormonal imbalances can affect your overall health and well-being. A hormone panel test checks which hormones you have too much or too little of. We use the information we learn from this test to develop a nutrition plan that will restore your hormonal balance.
Other Tests Available
I also offer Environmental Pollutants test, Food and/or Inhale Allergy test, Adrenal Function, Full Thyroid panel, and other functional tests. Please schedule your call today to learn more.
