Customized Nutritional Programs

Recent research in nutritional biochemistry has determined the principle of biochemical individuality. If two people of the same age, weight, height and sex, are given two identical bottles of a nutritional formula, one person’s system will improve and the other person’s system will not – because they are different biochemically, metabolically and genetically. As a result, off-the-shelf multivitamin and mineral formulas are of limited value.

Nutritional medicine is concerned with nutritional status, including vitamin and mineral overload and overdosing. Vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phytonutrients and herbs work together in a delicate balance that varies with your state of health. A body in good health requires a different amount of nutrients than one in poor health. Long-term improvement will not occur if you are taking an improper amount of nutritional supplements.

Metabolic testing provides the appropriate way to determine your nutritional status and need. This highly affordable testing is made available through nationally recognized and certified biochemical clinical labs in Atlanta (MetaMetrix) and Pittsburgh (Douglas). The process measures the end products of your metabolism and the biochemical markers for your nutritional status. From the lab results, your customized complex nutritional formula is designed. We recommend periodic retesting and reformulation, as your nutritional status changes with your age and condition, in order to maintain your metabolic systems at their optimal levels.
