Micronutrient Testing and Me

Spectracell MTHFR Micronutrient Testing

In the most recent of years I have been working independently as a Nutritonist for several Medical Professionals. One of my favorite doctors in NJ was highly focused on Women and Hyperinsulinemia and Micronutrient Testing. 

I found it fascinating to think that someone could stock up on multivitamin and mineral supplements, eat healthy, yet still keep missing the bar on why they felt fatigued or why they couldn't lose weight if they were "watching their calories". 

I became an expert along with Dr. Cindy on assisting women with their belly weight. That was rewarding work. Women used to thank me all the time for letting them know that their weight gain wasn't in there head and we were able to turn that around for themselves with our guidance -  they no longer gained the weight without control. There waist lines went down and they began to return to feeling like themselves again.

That's an entirely different topic for a different post.

When I opened my Steamboat Springs practice at Feeding The Body Feeding The Soul- I couldn't wait to offer Micronutrient testing here. I jumped on board and had my profile done, It evaluated all of my vitamin levels, my mineral levels and my amino acids (protein building blocks) in my blood.

I knew since I took a slue of supplements and ate well that mine were going to perfect- maybe a little low in vitamin D - but nothing more.  Ha!

After a simple test run at my local lab, I sent off my results- and they returned two weeks later. I was a little dismayed- I was low in B12, folate, choline, glutathione, and lipoic acid and borderline in a few other items.

Yesterday- I ran off to take the MTHFR Test. This test determines if you are deficient in an enzyme responsible for converting  forms of folate (a B vitamin) and it is involved in the metabolism of homocysteine. ( a marker for disease if it is too high). I will know my results next week.

Have your Spectracell Micronutrient Profile run with me and find out if what your eating and supplementing meets your needs.

I was  personally surprised, but was glad to find out what I needed to correct this to be my very best. This is cutting edge Nutrition in the field of anti-aging and personalized medicine. It's simple, quick and tailored for you.

I look forward to hearing from you

In good health,

Nancy
