FUNCTIONAL NUTRITION & TESTING

Methylation is one of the most important—and most overlooked—drivers of long-term health.

Methylation is a foundational biochemical process that influences how your body:

• detoxifies

• repairs DNA

• regulates inflammation

• produces neurotransmitters

• manages cardiovascular risk

• protects brain health

• expresses or silences genes

When methylation pathways are impaired, the body becomes less efficient at handling stress, toxins, inflammation, and aging-related damage.

Genetic methylation testing is one of the most reliable ways to understand these risks early.
Research shows that disruptions in methylation pathways are associated with increased risk for conditions such as cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and certain cancers.

A deeper look at hormones, stress, and energy regulation.

The DUTCH test maps how your body produces, uses, and clears hormones — including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin.

Why it matters:
Hormone levels alone don’t tell the full story. This test shows patterns — how stress, sleep, metabolism, and aging are influencing your energy, mood, weight, focus, and resilience.

It’s especially valuable if you’re dealing with:

• stubborn fatigue or burnout

• stress that feels hard to recover from

• sleep disruption

• weight resistance

• mood changes

• perimenopause or menopause transitions

GI testing evaluates digestion, absorption, inflammation, immune activity, and the balance of your gut microbiome.

Why it matters:
When the gut is off, it affects energy, hormones, immunity, skin, mood, and metabolism. This test identifies hidden imbalances that can quietly keep your body stuck in a low-grade stress response.

It’s essential if you experience:

• bloating or digestive discomfort

• irregular digestion

• food sensitivities

• brain fog

• immune or inflammatory issues

• unexplained fatigue

Identifies hidden inflammation you can’t feel — but your body can.

The ALCAT test measures how your immune system reacts to foods, herbs, additives, and environmental triggers.

Why it matters:
Many people eat “healthy” foods that quietly trigger inflammation for their body. This hidden immune stress can show up as fatigue, weight resistance, brain fog, joint discomfort, skin issues, or digestive upset — even when labs look normal.

This test allows us to remove the right triggers, reduce inflammation, and create a nutrition plan your body can finally relax into.

Shows what your cells are actually receiving — not just what you consume.

The Cellular Micronutrient Assay measures vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and antioxidant levels inside your cells, where energy production and repair actually happen.

Why it matters:
You can eat well and take supplements yet still feel depleted. If nutrients aren’t reaching your cells, your metabolism, brain, and recovery suffer.

This test removes the guesswork and allows us to target exactly what your body needs to restore energy, resilience, and function at the cellular level.
