As a healthcare professional, I’m committed to helping you achieve better health.
While your medical insurance may limit the testing options available, I offer a comprehensive baseline testing approach designed to provide a more in-depth assessment of your overall well-being.
Consider the following and contact me if you are interested.
Yearly Baseline Testing serves to address your immediate health needs as well as to give you a proactive approach to keep you healthy.
Since Heart Disease and Cancer are the number one and two causes of mortality it includes essential markers for each beyond looking at just your cholesterol numbers. It also includes looking at associated hormonal factors relative to cancer.
Baseline Testing includes a Toxic Element Hair Analysis and the Urinary Toxic Element Challenge Test (UTEC) to assess the body for heavy metal influences.
Heavy metals have been tied to pervasive environmental toxicities.
It has been found that in lowering the burden of them it has helped with many chronic health conditions along with setting the stage for greater health.
Each time I run the UTEC test I am amazed to see the amounts of heavy metals released through the urine, especially lead and mercury in everyone I test.
In terms of Heavy metals, they have been associated with the following:
-
-
- Neurological diseases: Heavy metals can cause neurological disorders like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, and multiple sclerosis.
- Cancer: Heavy metals can cause cancers in the skin, lungs, and kidneys.
- Cardiovascular disease: Chronic exposure to lead has been linked to cardiovascular mortality and atherosclerosis.
- Kidney and gastrointestinal issues: Heavy metals can cause kidney and gastrointestinal dysfunction.
- Immune system issues: Heavy metals can cause immune system dysfunction.
- Birth defects: Heavy metals can cause birth defects.
- Anemia: Lead can cause anemia by inhibiting hemoglobin synthesis.
-
Baseline testing includes foundational blood markers including thyroid health indicators, a complete urinalysis and a stool test for blood.
Consider Baseline Testing once a year to really get a comprehensive view of your health for the sake of your health.
Remember the medical doctors that you see will likely be limited to the testing they recommend because of what insurance will pay for.
