Shipping is included in the price for all the tests we offer for
you to do at home. The labs we use are among the highest functional
labs in the US and internationally. If the samples are accurate,
then so are the results. We’ll help you to analyze the results
of your test(s) and to determine what dietary, lifestyle and nutrient
interventions may be necessary for yourself. These tests can help
prevent disease way before a full blown situation arises. They can
also be used diagnostically for those who did not prevent, but have
a full blown disease state or un-health situation. You can
oder any of them through us or directly from the lab by clicking

PrivaTest: Urine Test for vitamins
& minerals
Are your basic nutrient needs being met? This test looks at your
liver’s ability to detoxify items, your overall body’s
ability to deal with oxidation (stress) and the level of Nitric
Oxide in your body. (Nitric oxide needs to be within a narrow
range; too high and too low are no good) Nitric Oxide has correlation
to kidney and heart function (yes angina too) as well as penile
function. Basically you want yours to be in balance.
A quick pee in a cup and send a few drops off to the lab. The
test results will be sent directly to you with a custom vitamin
formula. (daily packs with about 5 small capsules in each pack).
You’ll continue to receive a monthly supply of vitamins
unless you call us to discontinue. These are Customized vitamins
and are better for you than any other multi on the market –
because they are made for YOU.
Saliva Hormone Test
Hormones are the messengers that move through your bloodstream
and enter tissues where they turn on your body's switches that
regulate everything from reproduction to your emotions, as well
as your general health and overall well being. You could look
at hormones as the force in your physical body that animates you
physically, mentally and emotionally.
There are a number of ways that salivary hormone tests can help
you optimize your health. Depending upon which hormones are involved,
there are usually certain symptoms present when your body has
a hormonal imbalance. A saliva test can help you determine if
the estrogens in your body are balanced with your progesterone
levels, etc. It can also be used after you have begun a program
of hormone supplementation to determine how effective your efforts
have been in creating hormonal balance. Too much estrogen, relative
to the amount of progesterone, leads to excessive tissue proliferation,
and, at the same time, if you have too much progesterone and not
enough estrogen, you will experience problems related to estrogen
deficiency. Supplementing your hormones is a vital part of anti-aging
medicine that can help you extend your span of healthy, productive
years.
At Creative Nutrition &
Wellness, we recommend clients with hormone imbalance
symptoms to take a saliva test. The saliva test measures the levels
of the stress hormones, DHEA and cortisol, to provide an evaluation
of how cortisol levels differ throughout the day. The test involves
placing saliva specimens into test tubes collected over 24 hours.
The test also provides sodium, chloride and potassium levels which
are helpful in determining any underlying issues in the body.
This saliva test can uncover biochemical imbalances that can be
underlying chronic stress, anxiety, chronic fatigue, obesity,
fibromylagia, diabetes, depression, insomnia, and many other chronic
conditions. Hormones in saliva are exceptionally stable, which
means that your saliva sample can be stored and shipped within
a week while maintaining the information that is vital to determining
your hormone levels.
Estrogena Test
This test will determine your ratio of 2, 16, hydroxyestrone.
What does that mean you ask? --- Well, it’s telling you
which way your liver is detoxifying estrogen…meaning how
at risk you are of breast or prostate cancer. Anyone and everyone
with a family history of these cancers or who may themselves be
at risk, must do this test. For $100, you can determine very early
on, if you are predisposed to get these unpleasant conditions
---because if you catch early on, they are preventable!!!
OsteoTest
Are you at risk for rapid bone loss? If you are petite
or have a small frame, have a job and/or lifestyle that are sedentary
in nature, have a poor diet or low mineral intake, have a family
history of osteoporosis, or you take regularly antacids or anti-ulcer
meds, then you are at risk of rapid bone loss and we recommend
you take the OsteoTest now. Sure, you can go to your doctor and
spend time and money on a dexa bone density test (the Cadillac
of bone density tests), or you can take this simple test at home
and screen yourself to see if you are at risk and may then need
to further investigate the situation with your doctor. This test
measures your level of bone breakdown to bone rebuilding (your
body does both daily, it’s the ratio that’s important).
You should always be building more than you are breaking down.
Stool Testing
Have you tried everything but you cannot lose weight?
Do you eat sushi regularly? Travel internationally (or have in
the past?) We’re not saying that these all mean you may
have parasites, but it’s certainly worth ruling out this
situation. The comprehensive stool test (yes you have to collect
them – but there is a special test kit, so don’t fear!)
looks for digestive enzymes, parasites and other bacteria, and
food allergies. It is quite comprehensive and even when our patients
can’t imagine it to be true – we do find some interesting
results that we can then help you with treating naturally or even
pharmaceutically. The bottom line is – a healthy digestive
tract leads to a healthy body and healthy, happy life…so
if you even question something funky – it’s worth
it to try this test.
AllerTest
Have you ever wondered if you have food allergies? Do you have
gas and/or bloating after eating? Do you have dark circles under
your eyes? With today’s society and the quality of today’s
food and our stress levels, it is possible that you may have a
food allergy. Our lab has an expensive test with hundreds of different
foods you can be tested for. They took the top 10 most common
allergens and put them into this test for less than $100 that
you can do at home. It’s quick and easy and the results
are beyond powerful for you. Once you know which foods are troubling
you – you’ll be able to avoid them and your overall
health may improve drastically. Eating food allergens may depress
your energy, vitality and immune system. Who would have thought
they were allergic to mustard or soy? Find out for yourself.
