Minerals & Metals Test

Discover Electrolyte & Mineral Imbalances & Heavy Metal Toxicities

Test Type: Hair

Lab Overview
The Mineral & Metals Test will give you clear insight into possible adrenal dysfunction as well as help you discover early warning signs of heavy metal toxicity by analyzing a hair sample. Minerals are key for overall good health and are often overlooked. In fact, imbalances of essential minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium can not only cause fatigue but could possibly be an indicator of more serious health issues over time. Toxins can't be avoided, and we are exposed to heavy metals in our daily environment. From the food you eat, air or water pollution, certain medicines, food containers with a harmful coating, personal care products we use on our skin and in our homes can all contain harmful chemicals and increase our toxic load. Arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury are among four of the most common heavy metals that can cause health challenges. A certified health coach will explain your lab results, and armed with a plan to restore mineral balance and remove accumulated toxicities, you'll be on the path to better manage stress, improve your energy levels, enjoy more restful sleep, and a balanced mood.
What Is Measured
This test reports 28 markers from a hair sample, grouped into electrolyte minerals, nutrient minerals, toxic metals, additional minerals, mineral ratios and oxidizing status.

Electrolyte Minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium

Nutrient Minerals: Iron, Copper, Manganese, Zinc, Chromium, Selenium, Phosphorus

Toxic Metals: Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Aluminum

Additional Minerals: Nickel, Cobalt, Molybdenum, Lithium

Mineral Ratios: Ca/Mg, Ca/K, Na/Mg, Na/K, Zn/Cu, Ca/P

Oxidizing Status: Ca/P, Na/Mg

Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test

Comprehensive View of Your Gut, Energy, Mood & Vitamin Levels

Test Type: Urine

Lab Overview
If you were to run only one at-home lab test to assess the overall state of your digestion, microbial probiotic balance, and gut health, it would be this Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test. Measuring your levels of intestinal yeast and bacteria can uncover the deepest root causes of how you're feeling, including gut issues. High or unbalanced levels of microorganisms lead to widespread symptoms related to immune function: fatigue, inflammation/joint pain, skin rashes, mood imbalances, and more, plus they can impact existing disorders related to behavior and neurological function. With over 75 biomarkers, the Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test will show you exactly where you stand in terms of vitamins, energy mitochondrial producers, neurotransmitter metabolites, and detoxifiers. Kidney disease and kidney stones are common in people with high levels of oxalates in their bodies, making it an important marker to test. Those also affected are individuals with fibromyalgia and women with vulvar pain. This is the "go-to" lab when you want to find out how well your body is doing from the inside out!
What Is Measured
This test reports 77 markers from a urine sample, grouped into intestinal microbial overgrowth (yeast and fungal, bacterial and Clostridia markers), oxalate, glycolytic cycle, mitochondrial, neurotransmitter, pyrimidine, ketone and fatty acid oxidation, nutritional, detoxification, amino acid, mineral metabolism and fluid intake markers.

Most Valuable Lab Combo

For me these two labs were the most informative to getting to my root causes of so many issues that I was in the dark about. Such a valuable combo of labs. This is my second purchase, I’ll plan to retest until all my symptoms have been eliminated to know what to tweak and focus on. It’s a journey, not a quick fix! I started creating these issues as far back as 20yrs, possibly more, but I’m determined to no longer live with the issues but remove them. I’ve learned so much on my journey.

So much information!

What a great combo! This lab provided insight into any deficiencies I had as well as toxicities and i was able to see what was going on with so many factors as well. it really gave me a big picture of what was going on and some next actionable steps to take. Both labs were easy to do. Will be redoing this one yearly.
