LEAP MRT Food Sensitivity -to food and food
additives. Inflammation is one of the most important things to control in
trying to achieve optimal performance and health. This test will help the
individual find out what in their diet is causing inflammatory reactions to
occur which can lead to joint aches, brain fog, migraines, irritable bowel
syndrome, inability to lose weight, bloating and much, much more. Testing these
items in blood is the first step in creating a diet that will relieve the
individual from exposure to inflammatory foods in their diet.
Phthalate/Paraben Toxicity - Phthalates and Parabens
are two toxic substances everyone is being exposed to on a regular basis.
Phthalates, found in plastics and a number of personal care products are known
to suppress testosterone, contribute to insulin resistance, and interfere with
proper fetal development and other hormonal disruptions. Parabens, a common
anti-microbial agent, has a weak estrogenic effect which has been implicated in
a number of health disorders. Testing for these in urine can help determine the
sources of exposure so they can be eliminated.
Hair Elements Mineral/Heavy Metal - Testing for heavy
metals is a tricky business as many of the tests available don’t accurately
report true body burden. Hair testing, done under the right conditions, with
the right lab doing the work, and with proper interpretation, can provide a
better understanding of the effects of heavy metals such as mercury, cadmium,
arsenic, lead and others on mineral transport and health.
ION™ Panel – The ION™ Panel or Individualized Optimal
Nutrition Panel is a Metametrix Clinical Labs exclusive that together with the
Bio-Clarity™ Report will give you the optimal and most personalized nutritional
program available anywhere today. The ION™ Panel which is both blood and urine contains
the following tests:
•Organix Profile - reveals the nutritional and
metabolic basis of patient symptoms, including anxiety, mood changes, and
immune responses.
•Amino Acid Profile - determines essential amino acid
imbalances that affect both physical and mental function.
•Nutrient and Toxic Element Profiles - identifies a
toxic burden, which can render considerable damage to the brain and nervous
system as well as sufficiency of nutrient elements.
•Fatty Acid Profile - helps strike the right balance
of fatty acids that can impact health and development.
•Antioxidant Vitamins - measures a total body status
of antioxidant nutrients and nutritional deficiencies.
•Coenzyme Q10 - measures total body status of this
antioxidant nutrient and energy pathway cofactor.
•Lipid Peroxides - measures total serum lipid
peroxidation, an indication of whole body free radical activity.
•Homocysteine - identifies total homocysteine in
plasma, and elevated levels are an independent risk factor for premature
cardiovascular disease and atherothrombotic cerebrovascular disease.
Bio-Clarity™ Interpretive Report - The Bio-Clarity™
Interpretive Report is the most comprehensive way to take an individual’s
chemistry to the next level. It answers the important questions what does it
mean and what do I do now. It also brings together the results from the
multiple tests into an easy to read and explain report that will improve client
compliance with the recommendations made, especially nutritional support.
Each Bio-Clarity™ Report provides:
•An early warning system - identifying imbalances before
symptoms are triggered.
•A custom Health Improvement Plan - listing beneficial and
harmful foods, beneficial and harmful nutritional supplements and aggravating
drugs (all sourced from published research.)
•Easy-to-understand summaries - explaining medical terms,
what the results indicate, and relating each recommendation to specific
biochemical imbalances.
•Feedback and accountability - highlighting areas of
improvement and deterioration.
1 hour Consultation – Dr. Mark Schauss will help you
fully understand the meaning of the results of the test and help give you
insight into any health questions you have based on his 27 years of experience.
