If you’ve been experiencing chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, difficulty losing weight, skin conditions or frequent migraines, you may want to ask your provider about the benefits of Micronutrient Testing. Micronutrients are crucial to your body’s ability to function, grow and repair – and making sure you’re getting sufficient quantities of these essential dietary elements can go a long way in helping you live a healthier, disease-free life.
Since micronutrients aren’t produced naturally by your body, they are typically obtained from different types of foods. However, sometimes, diet alone doesn’t provide the necessary amount of vitamins and minerals to help you maintain optimal health. Many factors can affect micronutrient levels and interfere with their absorption, including:
First, let’s take a step back and take a look at what micronutrients are and the role they play in your body’s proper functioning. Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals your body needs, in small amounts, for energy production, immune support, bone health and many other vital processes. Vitamin A, for example, supports immune system functions; Vitamin D increases bone strength; Zinc helps your body resist infectious diseases.

Malabsorption is common, and is often aggravated by stress.
Our micronutrient requirements at age 20 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50, and beyond.
Just as micronutrient deficiencies can set the stage for disease, health conditions — and the medications often prescribed to treat them — can contribute to micronutrient depletions.
Diet, physical activity, and medication use all profoundly affect micronutrient demands. Shortages of a specific micronutrient can lead to a slew of health problems – from weakened immunity to stress, fatigue and depression.
Contrary to established paradigms about health in America, the majority of chronic disease is attributable in large part to cellular deficiencies in micronutrients. That’s why it’s vital to measure exactly what your body is missing, and how that affects your overall health.
By correcting these deficiencies, you can prevent, treat and reverse many medical conditions — from the most serious to the most banal. Some of these conditions may include: poor immune function, hypothyroidism, arthritis, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, fertility, cardiovascular disease, PCOS, ADD/ADHD, stress tolerance, weight management and hypertension.
By drawing two vials of blood, our Micronutrient Test measures and analyzes 31 vitamins, minerals, amino and fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites.
Since everyone’s personal biochemistry is unique, the test also takes into account factors like age, lifestyle, illness, injury, drugs, circumstance and genetics. This gives us a comprehensive view of your nutritional deficiencies and how they affect your cellular function, which subsequently allows us to come up with a well-rounded plan to address your health concerns.
Our test costs $599 which includes the lab work, results, and personal consultation to determine your subsequent wellness plan.
