Functional nutrition tests
Understanding why you get uncomfortable symptoms when you eat, maximizing your health and hormones and developing a positive relationship with food for life is so much more than just looking at the food we eat.
Integrative and functional medicine allows us to see the whole picture of your health, and create a personalized plan to help you achieve your goals.
The results of nutrition tests, food sensitivity, hormone and nutritional genetic testing let us know what’s going on inside with nutrient deficiencies or excesses.
Here are some of the tests we offer at PranaSpirit Nutrition & Wellness LLC to help you be free to enjoy life full of energy.
DUTCH Hormone Testing
The Dutch hormone testing panel measures a range of hormones that may be linked with hormonal conditions such as adrenal imbalance, fertility problems, sleep problems, estrogen imbalance. The DUTCH test uses dried urine samples to create a most comprehensive profile than using blood or saliva. Hormones tested include: cortisol, cortisone, estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA and melatonin.
DUTCH Plus
The DUTCH Plus tests also includes testing on the cortisol awakening response, so is great for uncovering reasons behind insomnia/ sleep disturbances. When we wake, our cortisol levels naturally rise. Excessive or underactive cortisol awakening response can be caused by stress, sleep or mood disorders. The results of this test give more insight to help us create a personalized plan.
MRT/Food Sensitivity testing and LEAP protocol
The Mediator Release Test (MRT) tests your reactions to 170 foods and food chemicals, allowing us to uncover your food sensitivities. Matched with the LEAP (Lifestyle, Eating, And Performance) protocol we are able to tailor a structured food elimination and reintroduction diet especially for you.
