Before a consultation - Here are some basic forms to fill out:

Agreements Health Appraisal Lifestyle Assessment Diet Diary

 

Metabolic Typing Test

Find out once and for all what foods are best for your individual type. Includes test, interpretation, and initial guidelines. Cutting edge research shows that no ONE diet is right for everyone – everyone is unique, and as such requires an individual-Personal foods plan to keep you energized and healthy. Unlike other body-type diets, Metabolic Typing is not a prescription program, but more of a process that changes and grows with you as you get healthy and balanced, and more adaptable to your environment.

Metabolic Typing has been around for many years.  Diet and nutritional supplements are used to address the individual at a fundamental metabolic level, allowing for increased energy, weight loss and greater resistance to disease. By conducting a series of simple tests we are able to determine each individual's Metabolic Type. This is the fundamental way in which your body produces and processes energy.  Armed with this knowledge the individual can knowingly select the foods and nutritional supplements that are tailored to his or her specific metabolism.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis

A hair tissue mineral analysis can provide pertinent information about your metabolic rate, energy levels, sugar and carbohydrate tolerance, stage of stress, immune system and glandular activity. A hair tissue mineral analysis is a screening test for the level of 20 minerals and toxic metals in a sample of hair. It is a tissue mineral biopsy that is non-invasive, relatively inexpensive and extremely accurate.


A hair tissue mineral analysis is considered a standard test used around the world for the biological monitoring of trace elements and toxic metals in humans and animals species. Hair, like all other body tissues, contains minerals that are deposited as the hair grows. Although the hair is dead, the minerals remain as the hair continues to grow out. A sample of hair cut close to the scalp provides information about the mineral activity in the hair that took place over the past three to four months, depending on the rate of hair growth.

Alternative Health Notes

 

"According to the World Health Organization, "Health is more than the absence of disease. Health is a state of optimal well-being."

Optimal well-being is a concept of health that goes beyond the curing of illness to one of achieving wellness. Many of us have been brought up to believe that our health depends solely on the quality of the healthcare we receive. The truth is, your health is your responsibility. You are the only person who can make the lifestyle decisions that contribute to your well-being. You are the one who must take the steps to preserve your health and promote your wellness. Only you have the power to create wellness for yourself.

As we get older, we realize that we cannot eat the same way we did when we were younger. This happens primarily because of the decrease in enzyme activity within our digestive system.

Even a raw food diet that is rich in enzymes might actually be too much for our system to handle. We notice this due to the discomfort we feel about 1 ½ to 2 hours after eating.
