Nutritional balance plays a key role in optimal wellness, chronic disease prevention and managing the aging process.

In today’s world, focusing on your diet and exercise is just not enough to keep you thriving. To be optimally well, prevent disease and slow down the aging process, you need to take a proactive and aggressive approach to your health. Each person’s body is unique in its own way.  Due to the complexity of the human body, an individualized healthcare approach is the only way to guarantee optimal results.  Traditionally, a person waited to go to the doctor at the first signs of a symptom.  Today, individuals are looking for way to not only manage illness with personalized treatment plans, but they are also seeking to achieve a higher level of wellness.  Don’t hope that disease won’t strike you, be proactive and take action. Spectracell testing can offer you the tools you need to know what’s happening inside your body and then make changes to your diet, exercise and supplement regimen based on your unique results. This test can help those suffering from the following:

Spectracell’s Micronutrient testing offers the most accurate, scientifically proven method of assessing nutritional deficiencies.

What exactly is Micronutrient Testing? This test offers the most accurate and scientifically proven method for assessing nutritional deficiencies. Because of the highly individualized and complex nature of the human body, we aim to fine tune your approach to health, which guarantees the best results. SpectraCell’s Micronutrient test measures the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and amino acids within our white blood cells, which is the most accurate analysis of nutrient deficiencies. These deficiencies can affect the immune system, leading to health issues that include degenerative diseases, such as arthritis.  It’s a simple blood test, and you’ll get your results back in about 3 weeks. We’ll schedule an appointment to review your results with you and create a customized plan to have you in better health soon after! It’s a great test to do 1-2 times a year.

ARE YOU IN CONTROL OF YOUR HEALTH, OR IS IT CONTROLLING YOU?

• Are you taking prescription medications to alleviate symptoms rather than addressing the root cause?
• Do you think you might have a thyroid problem but doctors keep saying the test results are “normal”?
• Do you know something is wrong despite the doctor saying you are fine?
• Do you have trouble losing or keeping weight off?
• Are you exhausted all the time?
• Do you want to boost your immune system now, to possibly prevent chronic disease later?

Hormone Markers

• Do you have a personal or family history of cardiovascular health (blood pressure, clotting, lipids)?
• Have you suffered with migraines?
• Do you have trouble sleeping?
• Do you battle pain?
• Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, or other cognitive function issues?
• Do you get sick often or do you have an autoimmune disorder?
• Metabolism (blood sugar regulation, tissue repair)
• Are you concerned about osteoporosis?
• Is there a physical appearance change in your skin, muscles, or hair?

Cambiati Wellness offers comprehensive male and female hormone panels to assess hormonal balance (or imbalance).  LHormones influence all aspects of health and disease including mood, sleep, metabolism, immunity, heart health and appearance.  An imbalance of one hormone can initiate cascade of events that alters other hormones, so understanding hormones is key to our wellness.

Genetic Testing 

Telomere

Do you want to know your metabolic age? Telomeres are sections of genetic material at the end of each chromosome whose primary function is to prevent chromosomal “fraying” when a cell replicates. As a cell ages, its telomeres become shorter. Eventually, the telomeres become too short to allow cell replication, the cell stops dividing and will ultimately die – a normal biological process. SpectraCell’s Telomere Test can determine the length of a patient’s telomeres in relation to the patient’s age. An inflammatory diet, or one that increases oxidative stress, will shorten telomeres faster. This includes refined carbohydrates, fast foods, processed foods, sodas, artificial sweeteners, trans fats and saturated fats. A diet with a large amount and variety of antioxidants that improves oxidative defense and reduces oxidative stress will slow telomere shortening. If you find that your telomeres are shorter than expected the good news is that there are dietary interventions available. This gives you a good idea of how much damage needs to be repaired.

Apolipoprotein E

Do you take a statin or are you considering it but want to know how effective it will be? Do you know how your body responds to fats? How big a deal is alcohol for your body type? This test can help figure this out. This test determines an individual’s genetic risk associated with the Apolipoprotein E gene. ApoE is involved in the metabolism of cholesterol and triglycerides, and variants in this gene can have clinically relevant implications for disease risk as well as one’s response to statin therapy, dietary fat, and other risk factors (eg., smoking and alcohol consumption). Approximately 45% of individuals carry one or more of the high risk variants within the ApoE gene. The results of the genotyping of Apolipoprotein E have important implications in the treatment strategies for individual patients in reducing cardiovascular disease risk.

Factor V Leiden 

Have you suffered a stroke? Do you have a family history of strokes? Factor V Leiden (FAK-tur five LIDE-n) is a mutation of one of the clotting factors in the blood. This mutation can increase your chance of developing abnormal blood clots, most commonly in your legs or lungs.

Prothrombin G20210A

Are you considering getting pregnant? Have you suffered a miscarriage? Do you have a family or personal history of deep venous thrombosis? People with factor V Leiden gene have an increased risk of developing a type of blood clot called a deep venous thrombosis (DVT).Normally, the prothrombin protein is produced to help the blood clot, and is produced in greater amounts after a blood vessel is damaged. But people who have a mutation in the prothrombin gene produce MORE prothrombin protein than normal which increases the tendency to form clots. Women with the factor V Ledien R506Q gene mutation (called R506Q) have increased risk of clotting in pregnancy in the form of deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.  They also may have a small increased risk of preeclampsia, may have a small increased risk of low birth weight babies, may have a small increased risk of miscarriage and stillbirth due to either clotting in the placenta or umbilical cord.

MTHFR 

• Do you have a personal or family history of blood clots, stroke, embolism, colon cancer, acute leukemia, or  heart attack?
• Do you suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia?
• Are you struggling with chronic pain?
• Are you exhausted or fatigued all the time?

MTHFR stands for methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. It’s getting attention due to a genetic mutation that may lead to high levels of homocysteine in the blood and low levels of folate and other vitamins. This gene variation can impact how well your body metabolizes folate and folic acid. Folate and folic acid are forms of vitamin B9, required for numerous critical bodily functions.Unfortunately, a problem in this metabolic cycle is linked to several serious health problems. There is hope if you have this gene variant. Knowledge is power!
