At Cambiati Wellness Programs, we understand that losing weight and keeping it off is about more than counting calories or spending hours at the gym. True, sustainable weight loss requires getting to the root causes of WHY you are struggling in the first place. We specialize in using advanced micronutrient testing to uncover hidden nutritional deficiencies that may be sabotaging your weight-loss efforts, then creating personalized plans to address those deficiencies.
In the FAQs below, we’ll explain what micronutrient testing is, why it’s so critical for weight loss, and how our proven approach is different than other weight loss programs. Read on to learn how identifying and correcting nutrient deficiencies can help you finally achieve the lean, vibrant, energized body you’ve been dreaming of!
Micronutrient Testing FAQs
Q: What exactly is micronutrient testing?
A: Micronutrient testing is an advanced blood test that provides a comprehensive analysis of over 50 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and antioxidants in your body. This testing goes far beyond the standard blood tests ordered by most doctors, which usually only assess a handful of common markers. We use cutting-edge technology to get a 360-degree view of YOUR unique nutritional status, pinpointing any deficiencies or imbalances standing in the way of weight loss.
Q: How does being nutrient deficient affect my ability to lose weight?
A: The vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients measured in our micronutrient test play a major role in ALL bodily functions tied to metabolism, weight management, and overall health. Deficiencies can wreak havoc, causing symptoms like:
- Fatigue and low energy
- Increased appetite and cravings
- Slow metabolism
- Difficulty burning fat
- Thyroid dysfunction
- Blood sugar dysregulation
- Poor gut health
- Toxin overload
- Chronic inflammation
- Hormonal imbalances
When these symptoms are present, even the strictest diets and exercise programs fail. Identifying and correcting deficiencies is key so your body can function optimally.
Q: What makes Cambiati Wellness Programs’ approach unique?
A: Our functional medicine-based approach looks beyond calories and willpower to find the ROOT CAUSES of weight gain and stalled weight loss. We understand the interconnectedness of the body and how nutritional deficiencies affect overall wellness. Other weight loss programs simply tell you to eat less and move more without ever testing to see what might be broken “under the hood.” We start by using micronutrient testing to assess what’s happening at a cellular level, then develop personalized plans to drive results.
Q: What does the micronutrient testing process look like?
A: It’s very simple! First, you’ll have a consultation with one of our nutrition experts to discuss your health history, diet, lifestyle, and goals. If micronutrient testing is recommended, we’ll take a small blood sample and send it off to our partner lab for analysis. In 7-10 days, we receive comprehensive test results mapping out your vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and antioxidant status. Finally, we’ll schedule a follow-up to go over your results, identify deficiencies, and outline next steps for your customized weight loss plan.
Q: What kind of plan will you create based on my test results?
A: Our plans are as unique as you are! But in general, they incorporate targeted nutritional supplements to correct deficiencies, dietary changes to support nutrient absorption, gut healing protocols, toxin elimination support, stress management, and lifestyle coaching. We hand select high-quality supplements to meet YOUR needs and ensure you’re getting adequate micronutrients. And we provide accountability, education, and support so positive change sticks!
Q: How long until I start seeing results on your program?
A: Most members experience exciting changes right off the bat – more energy, reduced cravings, better sleep, less pain and inflammation. Then as nutritional status improves over 2-12 weeks, healthy sustainable fat loss follows. Consistency is key, but with our guidance, you can lose 1-2 lbs per week to reach your goals. We’ve helped members lose 30, 50, even 100+ stubborn pounds with this approach!
Q: I already take supplements and eat healthy…why do I need testing?
A: We hear this often! But here’s the deal… Even if you’re taking supplements, you can’t assume your body is absorbing or utilizing those nutrients efficiently. And you may still have deficiencies contributing to weight-loss resistance if you’re not targeting the right micronutrients based on YOUR body’s needs. Testing gives us baseline data so we know exactly how to customize your program. We want to set you up for success, not failure!
We hope these FAQs helped explain our unique approach to using micronutrient testing as part of sustainable weight-loss plans. Identifying and correcting deficiencies is truly a gamechanger! If you’re exhausted by failed diets and are ready to achieve results at the cellular level, we encourage you to schedule a consultation. Let us help you start feeling amazing in your own skin!
The first step is to book a Breakthrough Session with one of our nutrition experts. They’ll help you determine if micronutrient testing is right for you. We can’t wait to partner with you on your path to optimal wellness!
