Adrenocortex Stress Profile
This test measures our body’s ability to deal with stress
as well as the effects of chronic stress. The adrenal glands are
located above each kidney and produce a number of important hormones.
This test measures levels of two important stress hormones, Cortisol
and DHEA. Excesses or deficiencies of these hormones can result
in clinical problems such as weight gain (especially around the
abdomen), getting sick frequently with a cold or flu, food allergies,
menstrual irregularities, fatigue, memory loss, “foggy-brain”,
anxiety, low sex drive, sugar cravings, dizziness upon rising,
and insomnia.

Essence Profile
This test provides an overview of your hormones in both pre-
and post-menopausal women. Hormone imbalances are associated with
a variety of conditions including PMS, Infertility, Polycystic
Ovarian Syndrome, Menstrual irregularities, Uterine fibroids and
Fibrocystic Breast Disease. The hormones tested include Estrogen
and its metabolites, Progesterone, Androgens and Binding proteins.
This profile can also identify candidates for bioidentical HRT
and to monitor its safety along the way. The evaluation of Estrogen
metabolites can identify the risk of breast cancer at an early
stage. Using this information, we can develop a customized program
to reduce your risk of reproductive cancers.

Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis
(CDSA)
One of the most common reasons people seek medical care is
digestive complaints. These complaints include gas, bloating,
constipation, abdominal pain and indigestion. Research also confirms
that digestive problems can be associated with many other conditions
such as arthritis, autoimmune disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome,
acne and other skin conditions. This test can determine underlying
problems in digestion, absorption, bacteria and yeast overgrowth,
and parasites.

Food and Environmental Allergy Testing
Food and environmental allergies are associated with many
health conditions. Symptoms of allergies may include gas, bloating,
headaches, skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, acne, hives), chronic
sinus congestion, migraine headaches, asthma, weight gain, mood
changes, hyperactivity in children and chronic ear infections.
Identifying and removing these allergens can have a significant
positive impact on one’s health.
This blood test measures IgG antibody levels to 88 foods and IgE
antibody levels to common dietary allergens. Additional tests
include inhalants, molds, vegetables and spices.

Intestinal Permeability Assessment
70% of our immune system functioning is found in the digestive
tract. The small intestine plays a key role in immune protection,
serving as a barrier against the absorption of bacteria, viruses
and poorly digested foods. Increased intestinal permeability,
or “leaky-gut” compromises this crucial barrier function,
leaving us vulnerable to infection, development of food allergies
and malnutrition. Increased gut permeability has been associated
with conditions such as autoimmune disease, Crohn’s Disease,
Ulcerative Colitis, chronic skin conditions and food allergies.
This test provides an assessment of the permeability and barrier
function of the small intestine.

Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment
It is estimated that 15 to 25 percent of the population has
some degree of thyroid dysfunction. Unfortunately many are untreated
because the results of conventional tests indicate their thyroid
is functioning normally. Detection of “subclinical hypothyroidism”
requires a comprehensive analysis of clinical symptoms, basal
body temperatures and detailed thyroid hormone testing. Using
this information, our physicians will develop a treatment program
to address the symptoms of thyroid dysfunction. These symptoms
can include severe fatigue, depression, weight gain, cold hands
and feet, hair loss, dry skin, menstrual irregularities and constipation.This
test measures unbound T4, T3, reverse T3 and thyroid antibody
levels.

Comprehensive Cardiovascular Assessement
Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in North
America. Cholesterol continues to be the standard test used to
determine Cardiovascular risk. However, 50 percent of people with
“desirable” cholesterol levels still have heart disease.
Current research indicates other specific markers are much more
accurate indicators of Cardiovascular health. This test measures
cholesterol, LDL, HDL, homocysteine, CRP, fibrinogen, triglycerides
and provides an overall cardiovascular risk index. Using these
results, our physicians can customize a program for you to improve
your blood profile, optimize overall Cardiovascular health and
reduce your risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

Toxic Element Profiles (Urine or Hair)
We live in world full of chemical toxins. It is in the air
we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. There are
over 80,000 man-made chemicals in use today. A recent report released
by Environmental Defence found dangerous chemicals in Canadians
tested across the country. These include heavy metals, PCB’s,
pesticides and fire retardants. This profile can provide information
on the presence of toxic heavy metals in your body including lead,
mercury, cadmium, nickel, arsenic and aluminum. They can also
be used to monitor detoxification or chelation therapy.

Red Blood Cell Elements
This test determines the level of vitamins and minerals using
a single blood sample. Using this information, our physicians
can recommend appropriate supplementation.

ION (Individual Optimal Nutrition)
Profile
The information provided in this profile will give you a clear
picture of the nutritional state of your body. The ION profile
measures levels of organic acids, fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins,
minerals, and anti-oxidants. This information can provide key
insight into nutritional deficiencies that may be associated with
many chronic health conditions including heart disease, cancer,
autism, autoimmune conditions, multiple chemical sensitivities,
learning/developmental delay and mental/emotional disorders. Using
this information, our physicians can customize a vitamin/mineral
supplement to meet your individual needs.
