Nutritional Analysis
Are you tired of buying unnecessary supplements? Do you often wonder if the vitamins and nutrients you are consuming are actually being utilized by your body? Are you curious to find out if your chronic medical problems are linked to certain nutritional deficiencies?
These questions and many others often plague both patients and doctors alike. Instead of prescribing based on symptoms alone, clinicians need better diagnostic tools to find out the root causes of symptoms. Vitamin and nutritional deficiencies, in additional to hormonal deficiencies, are often common culprits to undiagnosed ailments.
Trillium Wellness Clinic is one of the elite few clinics that utilize a battery of tests not normally available through your general medical practitioner. Many patients benefit from thorough blood and urine testing of their essential vitamins, amino acids and metabolites. Genova Diagnostics laboratory tests are available only through licensed healthcare professionals. Dr. Guillermo will perform a thorough evaluation of your symptoms, order specific tests to identify the root cause of chronic illnesses, then target treatment for patients.
One popular test offered by Genova is called NutrEval. It is one of the most comprehensive evaluations available to help overcome chronic disease and promote optimal health. The profile consists of Metabolic Analysis, Amino Acid, Essential and Metabolic Fatty Acids, Oxidative Stress, Nutrient & Toxic Elements, vitamin D, homocysteine, glutathione, and CoQ10. Dr. Guillermo also utilizes salivary testing performed by ZRT Laboratories which can detect hormonal imbalances, and Cardio Metabolic risk, while also providing testing for Vitamin D and Iodine deficiencies.
Most insurance companies cover 80-90% of these test fees (please refer to Genova's website and ZRT's website for more information).
