The discipline of Clinical Nutrition recognizes biochemical individuality and incorporates many forms of treatment to promote optimal health.

Assessment may include: a case history; blood, saliva or urine testing; physical examination; dietary intake and lifestyle analysis.

Recommendations for care may include: Foods to increase and foods to avoid; how to reduce the toxic burden on your body; lifestyle modifications; supplements for specific imbalances; supplements to maintain good health; exercise; and educational materials.

Let an expert help you find the foods and supplements
that are best for your individual body.

The Complete Nutrition Evaluation is designed to identify your individual nutritional imbalances regardless of any diagnosis you may have received. We want to support healthy function, not treat a disease. The evaluation consists of three components:

1. A palpation exam
   performed both fasting and non-fasting. This helps identify which organ systems (respiratory, circulatory, skeletal, endocrine, immune, reproductive…) are being recruited to aid poor digestion and which ones may be malnourished.
   
   
2. Comprehensive Lab Test
   which includes a standard medical screen as well as an in-depth chemical analysis. This gives valuable information about nutritional deficiencies and excesses before disease processes get started.
   
   
3. A thorough history
   It is helpful to view symptoms as guides, which point to their roots and causes. A Nutrition Questionnaire and Diet Survey help to create a complete picture of which systems your body is sacrificing as it shifts its resources around.

Lab Test

The Comprehensive Urinalysis is done at certified laboratories around the country. The testing procedure begins with the same standard screening tests performed in hospitals to recognize disease. Diabetes, liver and kidney disease as well as urinary infection or inflammation are first ruled out before proceeding.

The physical tests for color, cloudiness, volume, and specific gravity are recorded. These are used to recognize any abnormalities including the kidney's ability to clean the blood. Next, the more complicated chemistry tests are performed. Among these tests is an indican evaluation to measure the presence of food in the colon that is putrefying, creating irritants and toxins, which cause pain and inflammation.

The urinary sediment is evaluated for excessive crystal formations, which can indicate problems with digestion or excessive consumption of protein, sugar, or fat. The amount of acidity or alkalinity being excreted is checked and compared to the amount of calcium and chloride being excreted. These tests can give us a clue as to whether digestive complaints are caused by excessive acidity or alkalinity in the diet. Vitamin C excretion is also measured.
