Comprehensive Testing
We utilize a wide variety of tests to help us achieve a clear picture of exactly what the underlying cause of your issue is. Many of the tests we employ are not normally used in general medicine where "normal" ranges may not be the right range for you. These tests provide much more detail and insight into your current state of health. Depending on what your specific health challenge or goal is, we may utilize one or more of these tests.

Biomeridian testing (also called Electro-Dermal Screening) is a noninvasive method used to assess the energy meridians of the body. It gives us insight into organs and glands like the adrenals, immune system, and digestive system. Once these are scanned for any imbalances or deficiencies, we can test which nutritional supports work best for your body. Then a personalized protocol is formulated for each client, based on their results and circumstances.
