Feeling tired, moody, or just off, but can’t pinpoint why? Struggling with brain fog, digestive issues, stubborn weight gain or other unresolved health complaints? The solution may lie in taking a different approach to your health – one that looks beyond mere symptoms to identify root causes.
At our holistic wellness center serving residents in Danville, CA, we specialize in a game-changing yet often overlooked health assessment – micronutrient testing. Going beyond the standard blood tests, our advanced micronutrient panels provide a comprehensive snapshot of the vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants available for your body’s use. This testing illuminates nutritional deficiencies that may be sabotaging your health unknowingly.
Armed with the insights from your custom micronutrient assessment, our experts can then create a tailored game plan to optimize your levels with strategic supplementation and dietary changes. We also offer highly effective Myers Cocktail IV therapies to efficiently restore nutrients. This approach helps clients find resolution for persistent issues that conventional medicine failed to address.
Who Benefits from Testing?
Micronutrient testing is invaluable for those contending with:
- Constant exhaustion, low motivation and drive
- Inability to lose weight combined with cravings
- Digestive disturbances including bloating, IBS and constipation
- High susceptibility to colds, viruses and infections
- Hormonal imbalances contributing to conditions like PCOS
- Poor blood sugar regulation or diabetes risk factors
- Mental health issues such as anxiety, depression and brain fog
- Aches, pains and inflammation that come and go
- Fertility challenges and trouble getting pregnant
We also find testing critical for women preparing for pregnancy or trying to conceive. Optimizing nutrients like folate, iodine, selenium and zinc creates a strong foundation for a healthy conception and baby.
Micronutrient Deficiencies: An Under-Addressed Contributor
Here’s the thing – micronutrient deficiencies rarely happen in isolation. They tend to cluster, with one imbalance contributing to another in a cascade effect. For example, low iron leads to impaired thyroid function, exacerbating fatigue. Magnesium deficiency causes insomnia and anxiety, while vitamin D deficiency mimics depression.
Without testing, you can end up treating the wrong problems or just ameliorating symptoms. Supplementing with vitamin D for mood issues may provide temporary relief. But if an underlying selenium deficiency is impairing your body’s ability to utilize vitamin D, then problems will persist.
Our assessments illuminate these complex interrelationships, empowering targeted, synergistic solutions. They also provide objective biomarkers in the face of dismissive doctors telling you nothing is wrong. The data equips us to advocate on your behalf better.
Nutrition Designed for You
We take a radically different approach than the old model of healthcare. Instead of a quick 15-minute visit to “prescribe” a one-size-fits-all multivitamin, we invest 90-120 minutes in our initial consultations to understand your unique health history and goals. This thorough assessment allows us to create fully customized programs based on your micronutrient testing results.
An example is Amy, who came to us exhausted, moody, and struggling with adult cystic acne. Despite eating healthy and exercising, she couldn’t find relief. Lab work revealed deficiencies in zinc, selenium, and vitamin A, along with pyrrole disorder preventing retention of B6. Based on these insights, we suggested specific food sources and designed supplements to gently optimize her levels.
Within 3 months Amy reported:
- Increased motivation, productivity and energy
- Balanced moods without emotional reactivity
- Skin clear of cystic acne for the first time in years
Micronutrient testing allowed us to address the underlying issues perpetuating Amy’s health struggles. She continues to thrive years later using the personalized tools we equipped her with.
Empowered, Not Prescribed To
Our passion is co-creating sustainable change with clients, not prescribing rigid protocols. We believe enhancing your knowledge leads to empowerment. To that end, we invest ample time explaining micronutrient relationships, food sources, testing nuances, and evidence-based rationales for our suggestions. You gain a deeper understanding of your body to make informed choices.
We also encourage clients to explore additional areas of interest, and modify programs to suit emerging needs. This flexibility works because we’ve taken the time to thoroughly assess root causes – the foundation doesn’t change. You feel equipped to course-correct using micronutrient testing insights for years to come.
Micronutrient testing provides an invaluable framework for decoding health struggles and growth blocks. Symptoms become clues to underlying imbalances. Supplementation addresses causes, not just symptoms, restoring vibrant wellbeing from within.
