Metabolic Testing (Urine)
Comprehensive Analysis of Metabolic and Hormonal Health
Optimized Testing for Stress Response and Inflammation
The Metabolic Testing (Urine) examines your body's metabolic capabilities and hormone levels, focusing on the HPA Stress Response System. This test helps identify methylation status and specifies the appropriate forms of supplementation, including B vitamins, calming or stimulating amino acids, and detoxification support. This test comes with one day and one night creme which are custom made for you based on the test results.
Understanding the HPA Stress Response System
| HPA System Insights | Description |
|---|---|
| Balanced HPA System | Reduces inflammation by decreasing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. |
| Imbalanced HPA System | Activates the inflammatory system, causing increased inflammation and symptoms. |
| Feedback Mechanisms | Disturbance in feedback systems can lead to regulatory system dysfunction. |
Why Use the Metabolic Testing (Urine)?
This test provides a comprehensive overview of your metabolic processes and hormone levels, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to address stress response, inflammation, and overall health optimization.
