Additional Tests
Tests can give clues about your health that remain hidden otherwise. Some of my clients comment that test results give credibility to the way that they feel. In other words, there is a reason that you feel that way that you do! While not all my clients need additional testing, these are some of the most useful and revolutionary tests that I utilize. I choose tests that tell you more than your traditional lab tests reports. Part of an integrative wellness approach is to help in getting you unstuck by addressing hidden concerns such as adrenal dysfunction, thyroid function, womens health and stress management. I want to help you discover the root cause of why you don’t feel good!

Neurotransmitter TestList Item 1
The best way to evaluate your mood is through urinary neurotransmitter markers. This allows me to customize your program according to your individual needs. This test helps identify exactly where your neurotransmitters need help. Neurotransmitters play an important role in communication in your brain and the rest of your body. When a neurotransmitter such as serotonin is not functioning optimally, it will affect your mood, cognition, and your outlook on life among other things. Besides measuring serotonin levels, this test also measures other neurotransmitters such as GABA which helps calm anxiety and provide a sense of relaxation and Dopamine and Glutamate to support your ability to concentrate, improve motivation and energy and contribute to your ability to experience pleasure. Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline is included in this test as both a hormone and neurotransmitter. When epinephrine is imbalanced, you are going to feel wired but tired and notice that you respond to everything as a crisis, even when it is not!
-
Cortisol Stress Test
The best way to evaluate your response to stress is through a salivary cortisol test. This test measures adrenal function within the HPA Axis and helps identify exactly where your cortisol and DHEA levels need help. When the adrenal glands are not functioning optimally, your ability to handle stress well will be diminished. Adrenal stress leaves you feel ing more tired, experiencing more sugar craving, irritability and overwhelm and likely waking frequently in the middle of the night. You may feel wired but tired and notice that you respond to everything as a crisis, even when it is not! This is because the parasympathetic (also known as "rest and digest") nervous system, has been suppressed allowing cortisol and adrenaline to keep your body constantly in a flight or fight state. This leads to burnout syndrome and adrenal insufficiency.

Female Hormone TestList Item 2
Keeping your hormones balanced feels like a constant juggling act! Your female hormones influence inflammation levels, your mood, common PMS symptoms, bleeding irregularity, fertility, bone density, vaginal dryness, libido and even energy. Estrogen dominance resulting from low progesterone levels along with high estrogen levels and imbalanced cortisol levels can turn the menopause journey into a nightmare. Additionally, when you are experiencing extra stress, cortisol will interfere with proper hormone production. If you find yourself planning your calendar around your hormones, it may be time to take back control of them yourself! A simple saliva test can measure your estrone, estradial, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol and DHEA levels.

GX Sciences Genetic TestingList Item 3
DNA testing is no longer about just determining ancestry or disease risk. This test is the future of functional health! It provides insight into genetic variants that can impede specific body functions and prevent optimal health.

This simple salivary one-time test provides information that will last a lifetime! Knowing your unique genome provides a preventative approach to your health!
-
Ulta Lab TestsList Item 4
Sometimes a simple lab test can give you additional important information about your health. But, without insurance, lab tests can be cost prohibitive.

Aqua Bliss Shower FiltersList Item 1
Your shower water may contain chlorine or other contaminants that can become more harmful when the hot water in your shower turns to steam.
After extensive research I chose to install AquaBliss shower filters in my home to purify my water. And so far, I love them!
With the chlorine and other contaminants removed, my skin is not as dry, my hair is more managable and I feel good about how I am protecting my liver and thyroid from harmful chemicals.

Glutathione for NebulizingList Item 2
I personally have experienced the benefit of glutathione in a nebulizer. It provides powerful lung support and protection!
It supports first-line-of-defense immune response, rebound, and repair. If levels of glutathione become depeleted in the body, it can lead to impaired nutrient absorption and assimilation, gut, lung, eye, blood, skin, and brain issues.
Reduced L-Glutathione Plus™ is specifically engineered for enhanced absorption and is comfortably ideal for lung, nasal, and other soft tissues. There are no fillers, excipients, preservatives, or additives in this product.
Caution! Do not use other forms of glutathione for inhalation purposes as it can be damaging on the lungs.
