Have You Taken Your Vitamins This Morning?
Have you been feeling kind of off and not sure why? Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness and chronic disease prevention. Determining the presence of nutritional deficiencies and/or imbalances are key attributes to beginning an effective health and wellness program. With an assessment of vitamin, mineral, amino acids and essential fatty acids in addition to antioxidant activity, a more precise nutritional program can be developed for each individual patient. This test may measure nutrient capacities directly by measuring nutrient levels within the cell or indirectly, by measuring levels in the blood, both of which uncover the etiology underlying origin of various conditions.
Understand and be aware that some standard test results often do not measure if nutrients are doing their job in the body properly . Micronutrient Testing can reveal a person’s functional nutrient status over a longer time.
Most people do not meet their daily nutritional needs with diet alone, even if they eat vitamin fortified foods and take a multi-vitamin. The risk of this increases when the body is stressed, fatigued, and exposed to toxins and germs causing strain on the immune system. This often goes on for years, prior to symptoms that may cause one to seek help. If tests reveal nutritional deficiencies, Dr. Mainier will work with you to create an individualized plan to correct the deficiencies and help you regain balance.
