Uncover the Root Causes of Your Symptoms
At Nourish + Evolve, we take a personalized approach to wellness with functional health tests that go beyond traditional diagnostics. These tests uncover hidden imbalances in your body, empowering us to create a nutrition plan that is specifically tailored to your unique needs.
A program often includes one or more tests that focus on areas such as:
Gut Health
Unveil gut health issues, microbiome imbalances, and potential pathogens. Provides insights into digestive health, immune function, and overall wellness. Helps to identify imbalances, which can lead to symptoms like bloating, fatigue, and autoimmune issues. Results are used to personalize diet, probiotics, and lifestyle changes to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and enhance nutrient absorption.
Hormones
Analyze hormones to assess stress response, adrenal function, and hormonal health. This test evaluates hormonal balance and how the body processes these hormones. It provides insight into issues like stress, sleep disturbances, weight management, and reproductive health. Results are used to identify imbalances that need support to aid in managing fatigue, mood changes, symptoms of perimenopause, menopause, and adrenal dysfunction.
Metabolic Health
Measure a variety of metabolites to help identify issues related to gut health, detoxification, nutrient deficiencies, and mitochondrial function. It assesses markers for yeast, bacteria, amino acids, vitamins, and neurotransmitters. Results are used to identify hidden metabolic imbalances, nutritional gaps, and gut dysfunctions. It is particularly valuable for addressing fatigue, brain fog, digestive concerns, mood disorders, and providing a comprehensive view of overall metabolic health.
Toxic Burden
Measure the body’s exposure to environmental toxins like heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. It helps assess the body’s detoxification efficiency and provides a snapshot of how toxins may be affecting health. Benefits include identifying hidden toxin burdens linked to chronic symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, weight management issues, and immune dysfunction.
Genetics
Evaluates specific genetic variations, or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), that influence how your body processes nutrients, detoxifies, and handles other essential functions. This test reveals genetic predispositions related to nutrient absorption, metabolism, hormone balance, and disease risk. Benefits include personalized health recommendations based on your genetic makeup to optimize nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle choices. It can be particularly helpful in guiding diet and detox strategies, reducing genetic predisposition risks, and enhancing overall health outcomes.
Nutrient Status
Analyze the functional levels of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other nutrients in your cells. Provides insight into deficiencies that affect health, energy, and immunity. Results heavily aid in personalizing nutrition plans through supplementation strategies and dietary adjustments. This test can also help identify potential imbalances related to chronic conditions.
