Nutrition and Blood Tests
Over the years we have tried different ways to determine nutritional needs. We have used questionnaires, symptom review and AK or Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing). We still use all of these but they have taken a back seat to blood testing.
Blood testing is getting an independent, third-party opinion. The other tests could be inaccurate due to subjective factors.
We do a complete, basic panel. With this panel we get valuable information about your basic health and specific information about adrenals, liver, thyroid, blood sugar, gall bladder, proteins, infections, anemias, and iron. We then choose a starting point for treatment which consists mostly of specifically chosen supplements. After a few weeks you should notice a difference in your energy and your blood test should be normalizing too.
If you have several issues, we may have to proceed in a step-wise fashion, that is treat one or two problems and then restest and then move the next one or two issues.
Once I learned this approach, there was no going back. Having those numbers in front of me really helps to target your issues directly and dramatically speeds up the response time.
We tend to use Apex Energetics, Biotics Research and Karuna Products to help normalize your physiology and blood tests.
