Coupled with Dr. Bopp's nutritional expertise, this information could provide new answers to mysterious health questions that have gone unanswered.

What are the Designs for Health Metabolic Profiles?

The systems of the body work together, not in isolation, so it is often difficult to know where to begin to assess functional deficiencies. The Designs for Health Metabolic Profiles provide a roadmap that recognizes these interations and can point to metabolic blockages that can ultimately lead to significant health problems. The Designs for Health Metabolic Profiles show essential nutrient and digestive system functions that reveal root causes of symptoms. This metabolic map allows the targeted use of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients, putting you more quickly on your journey to wellness. Recommendations from the testing results allow for specific correction of nutritional imbalances, avoiding costly, time-consuming, trial and error processes and allowing for nutritional support that is tuned to your individual needs.

One of the tests in the Profile assesses organic acids in your metabolic pathways. This helps you know if specific nutrients are available in the body to create optimum chemical reactions. This testing can discover B vitamin deficiencies and other imbalances, which would affect the cellular energy, neural function, detoxification capabilities, as well as intestinal microbial balance. A simple urine test is required.

Many profound clinical symptoms hinge on fatty acid tissue. Achieving an optimum fatty acid balance minimizes inflammation, a major risk factor in heart disease and cancer. Inflammation also plays a role in a variety of pain disorders, Through bloodspot testing, which does not require a blood draw, your fatty acid balance can be assessed. Blood spot testing can also provide information about food sensitivities.

More for Less

This cutting-edge metabolic functional tests mitochondrial energy function, energy metabolism, funcational vitamin status, carbohydrate and fatty acid metabolism, food sensitivities, essential fatty acid balance, oxidative stress, dysbiosis and digestive markers, detoxification markers and neurotransmitter markers. These profile assessments provide a broad scope of testing at an exeptional value. For the cost of what many clients pay for allergy testing, you can find out so much more about your body, its individual needs and specialized strategies to support optimum health.

If you are experiencing symptoms such as faintness, dizziness, headaches or other significant pain or health problems, please consult your physician for screening and appropriate medical attention.
