Nutritional Evaluation
The intake and absorption of essential nutrition is an important cornerstone of any Wellness program. At VHMD, we use the NutraEval or ONE test kits by Genova Diagnostics, highly effective and proven Nutritional Evaluation tools for a comprehensive analysis of essential nutritional levels, from which we design diet, lifestyle and nutritional supplementation modifications.
What is Nutritional Evaluation Testing?
It is a way to measure whether your body is getting and using nutrients to drive optimal health. Nutrients are protecting agents. Just as your car has additives and devices that protect it, nutrients serve to protect your heart, brain, and other critical organs. Like a car’s gauges warn of potential problems, your body has certain chemical indicators, known as organic acids, which can alert you to potential problems. Also measured are markers that assess intestinal health, neurotransmitter activity, and detoxification demands. Early warnings can help you make diet and lifestyle changes that may both extend and enhance your quality of life. Many chronic health problems can be difficult to diagnose, especially when they involve nonspecific symptoms such as fatigue, foggy thinking, gastrointestinal upset, joint aches, sleep cycle disturbances, and more.
These profiles measure many vitamin compounds and organic acids produced by intestinal bacteria and yeasts, as well as detoxification products. They will also help assess specific metabolic dysfunctions that are used to customize a nutritional program to help you manage those areas in need of support. The goal is to identify dysfunctions related to nutritional deficiencies and correct them before disease is allowed to develop. Nutritional Evaluation does not diagnose disease; it helps to give insight into the causes of disease. Other standard medical tests may be required to identify disease states.
From a single urine specimen, the nutritional evaluation profiles provide important information for treating the following conditions and more:
• Anxiety
• Attention and memory disorders
• Autoimmune disorders
• Bloating and gas
• Blood sugar dysregulation
• Constipation
• Depression
• Dermatitis
• Ear, nose, and throat symptoms
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Hypertension
• Liver Disease
• Mood changes
• Multiple chemical sensitivity
• Muscle and joint pain
• Nausea
• Reflux
• Sleep abnormalities
• Weight gain
