Comprehensive metabolic assessment examines nutrient status at the cellular level, food immune reactions, gut microbiome health, glucose metabolism, and toxic burden, while basic panels only measure a few vitamins in blood serum. Our testing includes intracellular nutrients, food sensitivities to hundreds of foods, comprehensive stool analysis, glucose regulation patterns, and heavy metal screening to understand how your body actually processes and utilizes nutrients, responds to foods, and handles environmental toxins that affect metabolic function.

Food sensitivities involve delayed immune reactions that can occur hours or days after eating specific foods, causing symptoms like fatigue, digestive issues, headaches, or skin problems. Unlike immediate allergic reactions, sensitivities are often subtle and difficult to identify without specialized testing. Our comprehensive food sensitivity panels test immune reactions to hundreds of foods, additives, and chemicals to identify triggers that may be causing chronic inflammation and affecting your energy, digestion, and overall health.

Your gut microbiome influences immune function, mood regulation, nutrient absorption, inflammation levels, and overall health in profound ways. Comprehensive gut health testing reveals the balance of beneficial bacteria, presence of harmful organisms, digestive enzyme function, and intestinal inflammation that affect everything from energy levels to mental clarity. This testing identifies imbalances that may be contributing to various health concerns and guides targeted interventions to restore optimal gut function.

Heavy metals like mercury, lead, cadmium, and arsenic can accumulate in tissues and interfere with enzyme function, nutrient absorption, hormone production, and cellular energy generation. These toxic exposures can contribute to fatigue, cognitive issues, digestive problems, and various health concerns. Heavy metal testing identifies potential toxic burden that may be compromising your metabolic function and guides appropriate detoxification strategies to support optimal cellular health.

Dr. Winnard uses your comprehensive metabolic results to create personalized nutrition protocols that may include targeted supplementation for identified deficiencies, elimination diets for food sensitivities, gut restoration programs, blood sugar management strategies, and detoxification protocols based on your specific findings. Your results guide precise recommendations for foods to include or avoid, specific nutrients needed, and lifestyle modifications to optimize your metabolic function and energy production.
