Organic Acid Test
Collection Method: Urine (at home)
The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a simple yet efficient way to assess how well your body's metabolic pathways are functioning. It provides valuable insights into potential imbalances related to gut health, mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter activity, detoxification processes, and nutritional status. This test also helps evaluate how your body breaks down macronutrients and can uncover underlying issues that may affect your overall well-being.
Your results will show you:
-
Gut Health: Checks for microbial imbalances like candida, harmful bacteria, and mold exposure, which could affect digestion and overall health.
-
Oxalates: Assesses whether excess oxalates, from foods, are contributing to joint pain, fatigue, or kidney stones.
-
Energy Production: Evaluates how efficiently your body uses glucose and amino acids for energy, checking mitochondrial function.
-
Brain Health: Measures byproducts of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine, which influence mood and mental well-being.
-
Fat Metabolism & Cellular Health: Tracks fat metabolism and cellular turnover, including folate levels, to ensure proper energy production and cellular function.
-
Nutritional Markers: Provide sinsight into the sufficiency of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and metabolic pathway co-factors.
Detoxification: Assesses the effectiveness of your body's detoxification systems and identifies signs of oxidative stress.
-
Amino Acid Metabolism: Identifies potential nutritional needs or metabolic dysfunction based on amino acid levels.
OAT's may provide guidance around the underlying contributors to both symptoms and disease states:
-
Psychological Disorders
-
Anxiety
-
Autism Spectrum Disorders
-
Depression
-
Diabetes
-
Digestive Disorders
-
Fatigue
-
Fibromyalgia
-
Gastrointestinal dysbiosis
-
Insulin resistance
-
Neurological Disorders
-
Obesity
-

Vulvodynia
NutriPro
Collection Method: Blood (Mobile Phlebotomist or Lab)
Identifies nutrient deficiencies and genetic variations that may impact your body's ability to absorb, metabolize, and utilize essential nutrients. Since nutrient imbalances are often an underlying factor in many health conditions, this test provides valuable insights into both your genetic predispositions and real-time nutrient status. By measuring key genetic markers and nutrient levels, NutriPro helps determine whether your body struggles with nutrient absorption or conversion due to genetic factors.
If you're experiencing persistent symptoms and suspect nutrient deficiencies or genetic influences may be the cause, the NutriPro Test offers a comprehensive, science-backed approach to optimizing your health.
Your results will show you:
-
Genetic Predispositions: Identifies over 25 genetic mutations that affect nutrient absorption, metabolism, and utilization, helping personalize your nutrition strategy.
-
Vitamin & Mineral Status: Measures real-time levels of 30+ essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants in serum, red blood cells (RBC), and white blood cells (WBC) to detect deficiencies or imbalances.
-
Amino Acid & Fatty Acid Balance: Assesses amino acid metabolism and essential fatty acid ratios, such as Omega-3 Index and AA/EPA ratio, for optimal cellular function and inflammation control.
-
Detoxification & Antioxidant Support: Evaluates glutathione levels and genetic markers related to detox pathways to assess oxidative stress and toxin elimination efficiency.
-
Metabolic Function: Tracks key nutrients involved in energy production, mitochondrial health, and methylation, including folate, B vitamins, and choline, ensuring optimal metabolism.
