Electrolyte Dynamics
It is common to have either too many available electrolytes or not enough of them. Many modern diseases have their origin in an electrolyte imbalance.

Sugars
Sugar metabolism is tremendously important in accessing the appropriate energy production pathways. Without proper glycemic control, energy will easily fluctuate. The proper balance of energy requires the proper balance of blood sugar.

Nitrate
Urinary nitrate reflects the status of your nitric oxide production at the time the measurement is made. Nitric oxide levels should be within a certain range. Higher or lower levels than the threshold lead to various disease possibilities.

Ammonia
We test for healthy breakdown of dietary proteins. High or low levels of ammonia are harmful and serve as markers for balancing the system. Ammonia has an alkalizing function; high levels may indicate an acid environment, where the body produces ammonia as an attempt to balance the pH. A low level of ammonia is also risky. Lack of ammonia production may involve the liver or the kidneys. This early indicator is helpful in the prevention of potential disease.

Bone Collagen
The Osteomark NTX (CLIA approved) test measures bone collagen loss. It is extremely helpful to monitor the supplements or medications that you are taking. A rapid change in bone collagen loss can also be a valuable sign for further bone density evaluation.

Pathology Chemstrip Test
This test measures 13 separate urine categories. I use this test to screen you for serious health problems including infections, tissue degeneration, liver disease, kidney disease and diabetes.

Adrenal Stress Urine Test
This is a specialized urine test that measures the amount of chloride displaced into your urine. Excess chloride in the urine is a reliable measurement of adrenal stress or adrenal fatigue. Adrenal stress is now a major health challenge of the American population, yet it is not widely recognized or addressed.

Malabsorption Urine Test
This test allows me to screen you for the presence of harmful anaerobic bacteria and bowel dysbiosis. Dysbiosis is a toxic condition caused by a drop in the population of beneficial digestive bacteria. This can lead to malabsorption, digestive disturbances, allergies and inflammatory symptoms.

Vitamin C Urine Test
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant crucial to the health of the immune system, and vascular and connective tissues. Recent research has also placed vitamin C in the category of an anti-cancer nutrient. This urine test will accurately determine your vitamin C status.

Calcium Urine Test
Calcium is an essential mineral for many cellular functions, as well as for healthy bone development. With this test, I can accurately determine whether your calcium level is adequate, low, or even too high.

Free Radical Urine Test
This urine test is 50 times more accurate than blood serum free radical tests. Free radical damage can lead to cell degeneration, initiating a host of diseases such as fatigue, allergies, arthritis, elevated cholesterol and degenerative heart disease.
