Optimize Overall Health
We are each bio-chemically and metabolically unique.
This makes our nutritional needs unique as well.
1) There are certain tests that we routinely use to form a customized program for each athlete.
2) We are able to detect deficiencies …..Great to catch these so early-tweaking these undoubtedly enhance performance quickly as we focus on key energy-producing nutrients; such as: Carnitine, COQ10, B6, Biotin. We help optimize performance, preventative/early interventions and wellness.
3) We target specific areas of deficiency to correct them for optimum performance and wellness.
4) We then compound their specific nutritional needs. We do this through supplementation as well as natural food sources.
For example, if they are not getting enough amino acids, then they are at a nutritional disadvantage. If they are not getting enough Vitamin B, they are at a vitamin disadvantage. All of these things matter because athletes need to be as perfect as they can be, all of the time.
As humans, we have a need for a total amount of daily protein plus requirements for individual amino acids. Every athlete knows about the importance of amino acids but few actually test their amino acid levels. Deficiencies of specific amino acids are extremely common and can have a variety of different causes.
Amino acids, known as the "building blocks" of proteins, are found in every tissue of the body. They play a major role in nearly every chemical process that affects both physical and mental function including the formation of ligaments, tendons, bones, as well as antibodies and regulation of enzymes and blood transport proteins. Twenty different amino acids are used to synthesize proteins.
The human body can synthesize all of the amino acids necessary to build proteins except for ten called the "essential amino acids". These ten must be included in the diet or supplemented to be in adequate supplies. Failure to obtain enough of even one of these essential amino acids has serious health implications and can result in degradation of the body's proteins. Muscle and other protein structures may be dismantled to obtain the amino acid that is needed.
Profiles provide important information in the areas of:
•Vitamin and mineral insufficiencies
•Amino acid insufficiencies like carnitine and N-acetyl cysteine (NAC)
•Oxidative damage and antioxidant sufficiency markers
•Indicators to assess detoxification sufficiency
•The best functional markers of B-complex deficiency
•Neurotransmitter metabolites to assess central nervous system (CNS) function
•Mitochondrial energy production assessment via citric acid cycle components
•Methylation sufficiency status
•Lipoic acid and CoQ10 sufficiency markers
•Specific dysbiosis markers for bacterial and yeast overgrowth
•Fatty Acide Status
•Amino Acid Levels
Fatty acid status, such as omega-3’s found in fish and flaxseed, can also become a typical pattern; too little omega-3 fatty acids, indicating the need for fish oil supplementation, however, human fatty acid intake and metabolism varies considerably. For example, about 10-15% of the population tends to be predisposed to a deficiency of specific omega-6 fatty acids. These individuals tend to feel better while taking omega-6 fats such as evening primrose oil. Fatty acid deficiencies across the board often indicate fat malabsorption. The balance of these fatty acids is vital for the regulation of inflammation, cardiovascular health, neurological health, and skin/hair/nail health, among other things.
Athletes take care of their bodies -- they workout and train and supposedly eat well. Now we can literally measure that in the lab and we then can help them tweak what they are doing to get more out of themselves which can help give them the leading edge and be peak performers for now and their future careers.
