Good health comes from good food, yet even the highest quality organically-grown food fails in its health building qualities if the whole food goodness does not reach your body tissues. Enzymes are the key to digestion, absorption and assimilation of nutrients that nature intends for our health and vitality. Good digestion and assimilation of nutrients is painless, quiet. In fact, with proper digestion you should eat a meal and not even be aware that your food is digesting. With poor digestion one feels distressed and aggravated, sometimes during and most often after the meal. More people than ever are taking medications such as “acid blockers” so they don’t feel their poor digestive processes. People often are taking antacids, laxatives and medications to treat symptoms brought on by years of poor food choices and decreased enzyme production. Bad digestion has a cumulative effect. Over time, the absence of nutritional essentials leads to poor digestion and conditions of deficiency. Dozens of conditions such as Acid reflux, IBS, SIBO, Leaky Gut, and Gerd just to name a few results from nutritional deficiencies that lead to decreased enzyme production. The resulting indigestion is a sign that food is not being effectively assimilated and further deficiencies are developing. It’s a vicious cycle! Assimilation of the good food we eat today is negatively affected by years of poor food choices resulting in deficiency and degenerating health. Symptoms of bad digestion are the body calling out for help. Take health building steps for better digestion and assimilation:
Supplement digestive enzymes with each meal to help your body get the most goodness from the good food you are eating, REGARDLESS of any symptoms.

Functional blood analysis often uses narrower reference ranges for blood markers compared to conventional labs. These ranges are considered "optimal" rather than just "normal," aiming to identify imbalances that might still be within the conventional normal range but could indicate a potential issue. How can reading a blood test help me with my health issues? The analysis usually involves a comprehensive panel of tests to assess various aspects of health, including metabolic function, nutrient status, organ function, and hormonal balance. I look at the interrelationships between different markers, rather than evaluating each one in isolation. This holistic approach helps to identify patterns and potential underlying causes of health issues. Why I started to offer this kind of approach:
I recall the confusion and sometimes the desperation that came with trying to find answers. The countless appointments, the generic blood tests that often returned 'normal' results while I felt anything but normal. The disappointment was palpable each time a new diet, supplement, or medication failed to provide the relief I was seeking. Like many of you, I juggled these health challenges with my daily responsibilities – work, family, and social commitments. The lack of energy and constant discomfort made even simple tasks feel monumental. I often questioned whether I was overreacting or if these symptoms were just a part of 'getting older'. But deep down, I knew something wasn't right. What I longed for, more than anything, was clarity and a sense of control over my health. I wished for a comprehensive tool, like functional blood analysis, that could look beyond the surface and provide real, personalized insights into my health. I imagined how empowering it would be to have detailed information about my body's unique needs and imbalances, allowing for targeted, effective solutions. I envisioned a service that could connect all the dots – the sleep issues, the hormonal imbalances, the digestive problems – and offer a holistic view of my health. A tool that could guide not only treatment but also preventive care, helping to avoid future health issues and improve overall quality of life. As I now work with patients facing similar struggles, I see the incredible value that functional blood analysis brings. It's more than just a test; it's a gateway to understanding your body in a way that traditional methods often fail to provide. It’s the answer I wished I had during my own health journey – a source of clarity, personalized care, and hope. I understand the doubts and fears that come with exploring new health options, but I also know the profound impact that the right tools and insights can have. I encourage you to consider functional blood analysis not just as a test, but as a step towards empowerment, a journey to better health, and ultimately, a path to reclaiming the vitality and wellness you deserve. |
