As part of your physical training program OR as a separate health coaching service, The Dynamic Body offers an in-depth look into your Nutrient Status with Organic Acids Testing. With this test you will discover your unique nutritional needs created by your genetics, your lifestyle, and any potential stressors you may have experienced throughout your life.
With the use of sophisticated lab testing, you can uncover the hidden causes of complaints or dissatisfactions that you might be experiencing; once known, they can be addressed with specific nutrient programs to support your diet and lifestyle.
The Dynamic Body starts with the Organic Acids Test as it assesses potential nutrient insufficiencies and screens other systems that could suggest the need for further complimentary testing or a referral.
Organic Acids Testing:
- Are there signs of Inborn Errors of Metabolism causing profound nutrient insufficiencies?
Inborn Errors of Metabolism interfere with normal biochemical pathways creating nutrient insufficiencies that can have a significant impact on one’s health.
- Is Mitochondrial Energy Production adversely affected?
85% of the body’s energy is produced by the Mitochondria; they produce energy in every cell in the body and are essential to life.
- Are Functional Nutrient Deficiencies present?
A Functional Nutrient Deficiency will create a biochemical enzyme defect and disrupt normal bodily processes; this disruption can occur as a result of an unhealthy diet, exposure to toxins, stress, or genetic imperfections.
- Does Altered Neurotransmitter Turnover reveal areas of concern regarding brain function?
Neurotransmitters are critical to brain function, sleep, mood, etc.; an insufficiency can occur due to unhealthy diet, exposure to toxins, stress, or genetic imperfections.
- Are Antioxidant Nutrients Protecting against Oxidative Stress?
Without proper antioxidant protection, your body cannot manage free radical damage and is therefore more vulnerable to DNA damage, illness, etc.
- Is there a High Toxin Load that is Affecting Detoxification capacity?
An inability to detoxify the body is a driver of poor health. Glutathione (GSH) is critical to preventing damage to important cellular components that are easily damaged by free radicals, toxic metals, alcohol, internally produced toxins, etc.
- Is Excessive Growth of Bacteria and Fungi in the Digestive Tract present?
Bad gut bacteria can disrupt digestion, create inflammation, produce toxins, interfere with brain function and weaken your immune response.
Digestive Testing – the last section of the Organic Acids Test gives insight into the status of your digestive function; in some instances, a more thorough look at digestion is helpful. Your digestive system is the foundation of your immune system and protects you from the outside dangers of the outside world…If your digestion is compromised your entire system can be compromised.
Adrenal Testing – related to the Catecholamine section in the Organic Acids Test, this testing will assess Cortisol and Dhea, the two essential Adrenal Stress Hormones.
If the need for further testing is revealed by the Organic Acids Test, the Adrenal and Digestive Systems can be assessed individually for additional supportive data.
Please note that all lab testing requires a post-test consultation to create your Program and/or for referral out to a qualified medical professional.
Follow up testing is recommended for all laboratory-based programs to ensure corrections and to be certain of completion of goals.
