Clinical Labs
Going Deeper with Lab Analysis & Nutrigenomics
Now partnering with Ulta Labs, Canalt Labs and Precision Analytical (The Dutch Test)
Through saliva, blood, urine, and hair labs we can observe any imbalance (or harmony) through the body’s (or the environments) chemical messengers (vitamins, amino acids, hormones, minerals, toxins, heavy metals, etc.). The body has an innate desire to bring balance, and it is doing the best it can based on its current situation. These labs help provide a cohesive look at the inner workings of your what your body is seeking for optimal well-being.
Laboratory tests play an important role in the detection and monitoring of many diseases. An estimated 70% of the information used in the detection of disease is based upon the use of lab tests.
Heather now has access to over 1,000 clinical lab tests and panels to support your health and wellbeing. Serious medical conditions can go undetected for up to two years, without noticeable symptoms. The earlier a problem is detected, the easier and more likely it is to be treatable. Working with Heather now allows you access to major clinical laboratory testing across the United States for those important blood, urine, saliva and hair chemistry and wellness tests.
Labs may be ordered during any consultation and reviewed via a phone or video consultation.

Hair Mineral Analysis
Mineral/Heavy Metal & Cortisol Hair Analysis gives a long term reading of up to 60 essential minerals and toxic metals. When mineral deficiencies occur, toxic metals often replace these vital minerals in the body. Various mineral imbalances are revealed by hair analysis. Minerals in the body are involved in almost all enzyme reactions, metabolic activity, and detoxification cycles. They are vital for the effective absorption and proper function of nutrients and vitamins. Our bodies cannot utilize vitamins and other nutrients without a correct balance of minerals, even in trace amounts. Improper mineral balance has been linked to chronic fatigue, weight gain/loss, headaches, depression, osteoporosis, and malabsorption.

Nutrigenomics
The field of nutrigenomics includes the study of individual differences at the genetic level that can affect responses to health and nutrition. It offers new possibilities by advancing knowledge about the human genome to help improve health and wellness through nutrition. Using this information, PureGenomics® empowers clients to grasp a complete understanding of nutritional needs by their body. PureGenomics provides individualized, actionable reports that make evidence-based nutritional and lifestyle recommendations that are customized for a clients unique genetic profile through the use of previously collected genetic data*, by 23andMe® or Ancestry®.
*The cost of the labs are not included in the consultation fee and are the responsibility of the Client.

Hormone Urine Analysis
The DUTCH Test® (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) helps us grasp an idea of what hormonal (Sex or Stress) imbalances are leading to reproductive health concerns like cycle irregularity, infertility or adrenal fatigue. The Dutch helps us answer complex clinical questions by providing the most comprehensive hormone monitoring results with you doing the collection in the comfort of your own home. The Dutch creators have produced multiple peer-reviewed studies proving the effectiveness of dried urine testing as an alternative to serum (blood) or saliva for monitoring a variety of hormone based disorders.
