Optimum Wellness Program
Featuring the "Comprehensive Metabolic Profile"
This is like an emissions test for your car; when the exhaust is examined to see how efficiently the engine is burning fuel. In a similar manner there are certain compounds in your urine called "organic acids" that reveal how efficient your body is. The CMP is a combination of organic acid, fatty acid and igG food antibody testing.

This Metabolic Profile will reveal:
1) Vitamin and Mineral Insufficiencies- can be the cause of many problems; fatigue, moodiness, high cholesterol levels, stress, food cravings, loss of muscle tone, weight gain, difficulty losing weight, bloating, muscle aches and pains, inflammatory issues, constipation, depression, anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, headaches, nausea.
2) Amino Acid Insufficiencies like Carintine- Carnitine is needed to move fatty acids to a place where they are converted into energy. Since most of your body's energy is produced from the burning of fatty acids, your muscles and brain suffer when this cellular energy pathway is blocked.
3) Oxidative Damage and Antioxidant Sufficiency Markers- Your body's current anti-oxidant levels to protect from free radicals; at the same time too many antioxidants can dampen the very systems they were designed to protect.
4) B-Complex Deficiency- These tend to be common as they are not stored as efficiently as other vitamins in the body. B Vitamins are involved in many critical processes including energy production, digestion, as well as muscle and nerve function.
5) Neurotransmitter Metabolites- are chemicals that your nervous system uses to function and communicate with your body. Depression, anxiety and insomnia issues are often detected here.
6) How efficiently your body uses energy and burns fat for fuel
7) Indicators to Assess Detoxification Sufficiency-How well your body detoxifies; like a backed up sewer and impaired detoxification system can lead to many problems...brain fog, headaches, weight gain, insomnia, nausea, chemical sensitive and a variety of health problems have been related to toxicity issues.
8) Lipoic Acid Sufficiency-Lipoic acid plays an important role in metabolism. Recent research has shown that it is helpful in treating nerve damage in diabetics. It may be helpful for other conditions such as slowing down the aging process.
9) CoQ10 sufficiency Markers-Coenzyme Q10 is produced by the human body; it's necessary for the basic functioning of cells. CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in cases of chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson's disease, cancer, diabetes and HIV/AIDS.
10)Bacterial, Yeast, and Fungal Overgrowth- problems with digestion, sugar cravings, or difficulty losing weight can be just a few of the symptoms one can have with these overgrowths.
11) Fatty Acid Status; Omega-3, Omega-6, Trans A fatty acid deficiency or imbalance can be a culprit in several conditions, including but not limited to, arthritis, heart disease, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol and inflammatory issues. Testing allows for targeted dosages of fatty acid supplements.
Inflammatory Balance- Improper fatty acid intake affects the balance of anti- and pro-inflammatory eicosanoids, increasing health risks.
Increased Free Radical Production- Consumption of polyunsaturated fatty acids without increasing antioxidant intake will cause increased production of free radicals.
Immune Suppression- Excessive consumption of omega-3 fatty acids can suppress immune function, leading to infections and poor wound healing.
12) Food Sensitivity Testing
Measures levels if IgG antibodies specific to 30 commonly offending foods. It clearly identifies those foods that may be causing health problems. Food sensitivities can occur at any age, triggering many different symptoms and contributing to a variety of disorders, including:
Recurrent ear infections, watery/itchy eyes, constant runny or stuffed up nose, chronic sinus problems, headaches, migraines, sore throat, mood swings, anxiety, depression, food cravings, poor concentration, fatigue, and hyperactivity, asthma, irregular heartbeats, muscle and joint pain, arthritis. Inadequate digestion may cause diarrhea, constipation, gas, bloating, ulcers, water retention, weight gain, hives rashes and sweating.
