Functional Testing

Nutritional Testing is an important part of a complete health care program. Medical research published in numerous peer-reviewed journals has scientifically documented the vital role that essential nutrients play in achieving and maintaining good health, and in preventing or treating many serious diseases. Some diseases that have been scientifically linked to nutrient imbalances include arthritis, Parkinson's, alcoholism/substance abuse, behavioral disorders, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, chronic fatigue, macular degeneration, diabetes, immune disorders, multiple sclerosis, stroke and osteoporosis.

Ten Reasons Nutritional Testing is Important to Your Health

1. Nutrient deficiencies are so common, in fact 90% of people are deficient and 50% of those are already taking supplements.

2. Vitamin deficiencies contribute to common degenerative diseases like heart disease, stroke, cancer and Alzheimer's.

3. Many prescription medications can cause nutrient depletions.

4. Having a strong antioxidant defense system protects you against heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions.

5. There can be too much of a "good thing"- too many antioxidants can be harmful. The only way to know what you need is to be tested.

6. Simply taking a multivitamin may not be enough to meet your nutritional needs.

7. You might be over-supplementing with unnecessary vitamins, minerals or antioxidants. Too much can be harmful.

8. Aging can be caused by a lack of nutrients.

9. Having healthy cells promotes strong immune function and optimal health for a lifetime.

10. Your doctor thinks it IS medically necessary for a comprehensive health care program.
