We utilize advanced testing methods to uncover the root causes of health imbalances.
Our comprehensive testing options include Saliva Testing, Food Intolerance Panels, and Tissue Mineral Analysis, each offering unique insights into how your body is functioning.
These tests identify imbalances contributing to various health issues, allowing us to create personalized treatment plans for optimal wellness.
Saliva Testing: A Convenient, Accurate Alternative
Saliva testing offers a non-invasive and highly accurate way to assess how well your body is functioning. With an accuracy rate of 92-96%, saliva testing often surpasses blood testing in evaluating free hormones—the active components that drive many bodily processes. Saliva testing is easy to complete, with samples collected at home or work, and is particularly useful for identifying hormonal imbalances that may be impacting your health.
Key Saliva Tests:
- Female Hormone Panel
- Detects hormone imbalances such as Luteal Phase Defect and Estrogen Dominance, which are linked to PMS, infertility, fibroids, painful periods, and more.
- Helps identify issues like cycle irregularities, migraines, and early osteoporosis.
- Adrenal Stress Index
- Assesses the function of the adrenal glands, which follow a circadian rhythm, influencing energy production, immune health, sleep, thyroid function, and more.
- Abnormal adrenal rhythms can lead to chronic fatigue, sleep disorders, stress intolerance, and poor muscle and joint function.
- Food Intolerance Panel
- Identifies food sensitivities that cause inflammation in the gut, potentially increasing the risk of autoimmune diseases and accelerating aging.
- Symptoms of food intolerance can manifest in both the gut (e.g., diarrhea, GERD, IBS) and beyond (e.g., skin rashes, respiratory issues, migraines).
Tissue Mineral Analysis: Uncovering Hidden Health Issues
Hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) is a valuable screening tool that helps assess the body’s mineral levels and detect heavy metal toxicity. Minerals play a crucial role in enzyme reactions, neurotransmitter function, and hormone activation. With hair analysis, we can identify trace element deficiencies, toxicity, and cellular stress, providing a detailed blueprint of your body’s health.
What Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Can Reveal:
- Trace element deficiencies that may lead to poor health
- Heavy metal toxicity, which can contribute to chronic illness
- Cellular energy levels to determine how well your body is functioning
- Kidney and liver stress that may be contributing to fatigue or toxin buildup
- Adrenal and thyroid activity, revealing hormone imbalances
- Trends for over 30 health conditions, offering early detection and prevention strategies
Why Testing Matters
Proper testing is critical in uncovering the root causes of health concerns that may not be visible through symptoms alone. At Blue Ridge Acupuncture, we use these advanced diagnostic tools to provide a complete understanding of your body’s health. This allows us to design targeted, effective treatment plans to help you regain balance, optimize function, and achieve long-lasting wellness.
