LAB TESTING

WHY CHOOSE THE HEAL YOURSELF PROGRAM:

 

At Hope, Heal and Health, I pride myself on the packages and lab testing I offer to my clients, who really need a true picture of exactly what is going on in their body and to find the root cause.  I provide a written emailed protocol of every test you have done so you can follow it step by step.  I will help and support you all the way.

 

LAB TESTS I RUN:

 

FULL COMPREHENSIVE BLOOD PANEL:

(When you get blood work from your Dr, you would be surprised to hear your blood tests are fine even though you still have all these symptoms).  Its because the blood testing they run are very wide.  My job is to look at the optimal end.  What is normal and what is optimal?

  • Complete metabolic panel

  • Complete blood count

  • Full thyroid panel (TSH, Reverse T3, Free and total T3 and T4, TPO & TBG antibodies)

  • Full iron panel (Iron, TIBC, Iron saturation, ferritin)

  • Lipid panel

  • Homocysteine

  • Vitamin B12

  • Vitamin D

  • CRP

  • Hemoglobin A1C

  • HNK1 (CD57) panel

  • Urinalysis

*Please note these markers may differ depending on where you are located.

 

ORGANIC ACID:

This is a urine test and known as OAT.  This test provides a comprehensive nutritional and metabolic snapshot of an individual’s overall health. The OAT measures 76 organic acids from one easy to collect urine sample.

What this test shows:

  • Mold, yeast and bacterial imbalances

  • Mitochondrial dysfunction

  • Neurotransmitter metabolites (correlated with genetics)

  • Carbohydrates, fat and protein metabolism

  • Glutathione

  • Oxalates

  • Nutritional markers

  • Amino acids

  • Detoxification markers

  • Ammonia

 

GENETICS:

You can purchase this through Ancestry.  The Genes I look out for are of the upmost importance to your health and wellbeing.

  • BHMT - enzyme that converts homocysteine back to methionine.

  • CBS - upregulate the CBS enzyme.

  • COMT upregulate the CBS enzyme.

  • CYP mutations affect phase one detoxification enzymes.

  • GAD speed at which glutamine is converted to GABA.

  • MAOA speed at which glutamine is converted to GABA.

  • MTHFR C677T conversion of folic acid to methyl folate

  • MTHFR A1298C A1298C mutation causing higher ammonia levels.

  • MTR & MTRR utations affect how much methyl B12 is needed and how Vitamin B12 is regenerated

  • VDR TAQ - affects Vitamin D receptors.

  • Plus, more

 


DUTCH COMPLETE:


The dutch test offers the most extensive profile of sex and adrenal hormones along with their metabolites.


What I look at:

 

  • Progesterone, estrogen and testosterone metabolites

  • Adrenals free & metabolized cortisol, cortisol curve

  • Circadian rhythm

  • DHEA

  • Estrogen detoxification

  • Sulfation detoxification

  • Oxidative stress

  • Organic acid markers

  • Melatonin marker

 

PARAWELLNESS STOOL TEST:


This is the best test for picking up parasites and protozoa. To order this test go to https://parawellnessresearch.com/order/

 

GI MAP STOOL TEST:


The GI-MAP was designed to detect microbes that may be disturbing normal microbial balance or contributing to illness as well as indicators of digestion, absorption, inflammation, and immune function.

 

What this test shows:

 

  • Pathogens bacterial, parasitic & viral

  • H. pylori

  • Opportunistic bacteria, fungi, yeasts & viruses

  • Parasite, protozoa & worms

  • Digestion

  • Immune response to gluten

  • Estrogen detoxification

  • Immune response in the gut

  • Inflammation


SIBO BREATH TEST:


Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth

This is a non-invasive breath test
