Hormone Testing

Hormonal imbalances may affect both men and women. Men may note a decline in sex drive or loss of lean body mass. Women may experience significant changes in their menstrual cycle associated with changes in mood, energy, sex drive and even hot flashes. There is no need to suffer with symptoms. Hormone testing is available and natural hormone therapies are available.

Heavy Metal Toxicity Testing

Acute toxic metal exposure is rare. More common is chronic, low level environmental exposure of toxic metals (lead, mercury, cadmium, uranium to name a few). Toxic metal have no useful physiological function in the body and may adversely affect all organ system leading to the dysfunction of multiple systems.

Toxic Blood Assessment

Looking beyond routine lab tests such as your cholesterol panel, we asses your blood for elements that either contribute to or indicate the presence of arterial inflammation. Such blood tests may include Homocysteine, C-Reactive Protein, Lipoprotein (a), Fibrinogen and Ferritin levels.

Adrenal Stress Index

Chronic stress, physical or mental/emotional, may lead to compromised adrenal gland function resulting in altered levels of stress hormones (cortisol, DHEA and adrenaline) in the body. Impaired adrenal rhythm can impact many body functions resulting in: low energy and fatigue, poor blood sugar regulation, weakened immune system, impaired tissue healing, impaired sleep quality and even chronic pain. The adrenal stress index evaluates the cyclical levels of cortisol and DHEA in the body.
