Your conventional doctor may do a blood test to rule out various diseases, but what about that gray area between health and disease? This is a very important stage where, if you have effective intervention many diseases can be prevented and a more optimal level of health can be achieved.
Stresses of all kinds begin to take their toll on the body and eventually dysfunction results. If the stresses continue, this dysfunction leads to symptoms. If we don't heed the warning that the symptoms represent, we might allow a dysfunction to develop into a full-blown disease. For example, it takes many years of stress and poor dietary habits to build up the amount of plaque in the arteries needed to end up with blocked and hardened arteries. Much can be done to prevent this and many other diseases and illnesses.
Your initial visit at Orthomolecular Nutrition and Wellness Center will include a 60-minute consultation along with about 20 minutes for specimen collection and completion of a Metabolic Assessment form.
Nutritional therapy and laboratory/diagnostic testing are integral components of your treatment plan. Test results are used to design your personal health care program as well as uncover the root causes of many chronic and difficult to treat conditions.
Most testing can be done in our office. Some tests require fasting (no food or drink except water from midnight the night before your visit). Costs of any additional specialized testing will be reviewed with you by our staff. You will receive all your test results when labs are final, and be guided through their interpretation and implications for treatment at your follow up visit.
