Advanced Interpretation Laboratory Results
Laboratory testing is one of the most effective tools available to guide you to improve your health. The advanced LabAssist™ Reports provide detailed information, above and beyond that of the lab’s results, allowing your nutritionist to provide an extremely accurate and comprehensive health improvement plan. Advanced testing and reports are available for Amino Acids, Organic Acids, Comprehensive Blood Chemistries,
Minerals/ Toxins, Fatty Acids, Cardiovascular Risk, and others.
Graphed Reports and Panels
The basic results from your blood test are shown in a variety of ways to better enable your doctor to spot trouble areas. First, results are presented in both alphabetic and out-of-balance order to aid in finding specific values. Then they are broken into specific groups of interest, such as Hematology, Toxicity Markers, and Electrolytes (there are dozens of these “Panels”). Your nutritionist will be able to quickly and easily spot trouble areas that would otherwise be much more difficult to see.
Drug Interactions
A comprehensive list of off-the-shelf and prescription drugs which may tend to aggravate any out-of-balance conditions is provided. You might find out that aspirin is preferred over ibuprofen as it would have less of an effect on your body chemistry. Before taking any drug, always consult your doctor.
Food and Nutrition Recommendations
Find out specifically which foods and nutrients may help restore your body to a natural and healthy state. You are presented with information on helpful nutritional supplements and foods. Additionally, a list of foods to avoid, those that may tend to aggravate already out-of-balance body chemistry, is provided. Whether you are already taking nutritional supplements, or just planning to, you will be able to get your money’s worth by taking only those with the greatest potential impact to your health.
Return Visit Comparison Report
When you return to your practitioner for a followup visit, a comparison section of our report is automatically generated. Easy to read graphs show exactly where improvements have been made and allow you to track your progress.
