SPECIALIZED TESTS

Comprehensive Lab Test

An excellent ally to determine your overall health status. This blood work panel is used as a broad screening tool to screen, diagnose, or monitor different pathologies or conditions, such as kidney disease, liver disease, hypertension, or diabetes and to monitor the use of specific medications that may affect kidney health or liver function.

Adrenocortex Stress Profile

The adrenal glands, produce hormones (cortisol and DHEA) to help regulate your metabolism, and immune system and allow the body to act on signs of stress. These hormones impact nearly every process in the body, from energy production and immune activity to cell maintenance and repair. They are key regulators of glucose, insulin, and inflammation while playing a role in building muscle and bone, mood and mental focus, stamina, sex drive, and sleep cycles.

This test provides an assessment of the Hypothalamic-pituitary-Adrenal axis(HPA), in charge of the cycle of cortisol and DHEA while providing a guide for clinical interventions with targeted treatments.

Daily hassles, chronic pain, blood sugar dysregulation, work stressors, and poor relationship quality can alter the HPA axis. HPA axis dysfunction and Imbalances in adrenal hormones can have a wide range of negative consequences that can adversely impact a patient's overall quality of life, including fatigue, insomnia, weight gain, depression, GI complaints, and chronic pain.

Food Sensitivity Test (184 IgG)

Around 20% of the population has an adverse reaction to a specific type of food. Many factors can be responsible for the development of these sensitivities, including overeating, infections, artificial preservatives, additives, stress, molds, antibiotics, pesticides, and environmental toxins,

This Sensitivity Test evaluates the immune response (IgG) to 184 commonly reactive foods, providing a clear picture of which foods are compromising your overall health. Symptoms of sensitivity may include bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, fatigue, headaches, inflammation, chronic pain, and skin issues which therefore can trigger chronic conditions, such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Rheumatoid arthritis, autism, ADD/ADHD, eczema, fatigue, headaches, chronic infections, gut malabsorption, insomnia, etc. However, if you are sensitive to food a closer view with our team is necessary to assess your condition, enhance your GI health and support your nutritional status,

Nutritional Test

This Nutritional test is an effective tool that provides an analysis of key nutritional biomarkers, including antioxidants, B-vitamins, minerals, digestive support, fatty acids, and amino acids. Insights gained from this test can be used to target nutritional interventions to meet the precise needs of each patient.

Gut Health

This stool test offers a good insight into your Gl health providing valuable clinical information to discover the root cause of your condition for ulterior management of your gastrointestinal symptoms including gas, bloating, indigestion, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and constipation. It is a useful tool that assesses key functional areas of gut health including digestion, absorption, bacteria, and bacterial metabolism, yeast, parasites, and inflammation.

Male and Female Hormonal Test

Hormones are essentially chemical messengers which regulate routine processes in the body. This test provides information about the impact that shifting hormone levels can have in men (andropause or male menopause) and women (perimenopause/menopause), producing a wide range of symptoms that negatively affect the quality of life, such as Weight gain, Anxiety, Fatigue, Low sex drive and performance issues, Sleep disturbances, Mood instability, Brain fog, hair loss, hot flashes and more. Identification and targeted treatment of hormonal imbalances using customized hormone and/or nutritional therapies improve symptoms, and quality of life, while may reduce disease risk.

Thyroid Hormonal Assessment

Thyroid hormones are essential regulators of the body's metabolism. An Optimal thyroid function reflects a healthy sexual and reproductive status while safeguarding against the pathogenesis of diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and depression. Therefore, a thyroid imbalance can negatively affect different physiological processes in the body, exerting significant effects on IGF-1 production, lipid metabolism, weight, mood, cognition, energy level, and more. This test provides a thorough analysis of thyroid hormone metabolism to pinpoint common imbalances, such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid ), hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, and other signs of thyroid dysfunction.

Heavy Metals Profile

Every day we are exposed to a large number of toxic chemicals in the food and beverages we consume, in conventional household cleaners, and personal care products, promoting an endless number of serious clinical conditions such as infertility, chronic fatigue, precocious puberty, autoimmune diseases, birth defects, hyperactivity, learning disabilities, neurological disorders, cancer, sexual dysfunction, allergies, among others.

Unfortunately, even in the context of a healthy lifestyle, we cannot escape exposure to these environmental toxins, which leads to the long-term accumulation of these chemicals in our bodies. This phenomenon can ultimately lead to a state of multisystem involvement that includes: inflammation and chronic pain, gastrointestinal symptoms, leaky gut, fatigue, headaches, unusual weight loss or gain, dermatitis, cognitive impairment, depression, and an increased risk of developing chronic diseases.

This test is a toxic exposure profile that measures the urinary excretion of a large list of potentially harmful toxic metals. They can include: Lead, Mercury, Aluminum, Antimony, Arsenic, Barium, Bismuth, Cadmium, Cesium, Gadolinium, Gallium, Nickel, Niobium, Platinum, Rubidium, Thallium, Thorium, Tin, Tungsten, Uranium, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lithium, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, strontium, vanadium, zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur.

MOLD ASSESSMENT

This test accurately evaluates the presence of mycotoxins, produced by a variety of toxic molds from both dietary (spoiled food) and environmental sources (living or working in water-damaged buildings, airborne or physical contact with outdoor molds, and airborne dust in buildings containing mold spores.). The population susceptible to mycotoxin exposure may include those who live or work in old buildings, those who have known exposure to water-damaged buildings, asthmatics, children and infants, the elderly, and individuals with existing respiratory conditions, or weakened immune systems. Consequently, the presence of Mycotoxins in the human body can lead to several serious health concerns, including chronic inflammation,  autoimmune disease, and cancer.

GENETIC / METHYLATION ASSESSMENT

It is currently the most useful and accurate way to measure the biological processes of aging. Methylation is a chemical process that happens an uncountable number of times per second in each cell of the body to produce energy, detoxify hormones, regulate gene expression, fat metabolism, immune responses, metabolizes neurotransmitters to regulate mood, and promote healthy aging.

Since methylation participates in so many important biologic processes, identifying its abnormalities can have far-reaching effects. Methylation defects have been associated with many clinical conditions including, but not limited to cancer, autism, ADHD, congenital and neural tube defects, cognitive decline, depression, cardiovascular disease, and schizophrenia.

The Methylation Panel can offer insight into patients with questionable detoxification (patients who take hormone therapy, drink alcohol, or have toxin exposure),  cancer risk, cardiovascular disease (non-coronary atherosclerosis, hypertension, coronary artery disease), psychiatric and mood disorders (schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression), neurologic disorders (Parkinson's disease, cognitive decline), and chronic fatigue.

CANCER SCREENING TEST

This test can detect more than 50 types of cancers, over 45 of which still lack recommended screening. However is intended to be complementary to, and not a replacement of, U.S. guideline-recommended cancer screening. GRAIL’s technology shows how genetics is revolutionizing cancer care, by reducing cancer deaths and decreasing costs by detecting more cancers earlier.
