What is a microbiome?
It is a collection of microbes that live on and inside our body. They contribute to human health and wellness. They protect us against pathogens, help develop our immune system and help us digest our food.
How do you test the health of your microbiome?
You can collect a sample from the privacy of your own home with an at home test kit.
What information will I get from the results of the test?
The results compared to the profile of a normal/healthy individual to provide insight as to whether your individual gut microbiome is balanced or imbalanced. This Gut Report is based on 4 criteria, which include: Microbiome diversity, Phyla balance, the beneficial species and pathogenic species such as H. pylori, E. coli & Candida just to name a few.
What is a Nutritional Deficiency?
A condition of the body in which the essential health building nutritional factors are not available (from what you eat) to establish or maintain optimal health.
What conditions can be caused by Nutritional Deficiencies?
Virtually every condition the body can experience is connected to a nutritional deficiency.
What causes Nutritional Deficiency?
Pollution of the air, water and food with chemicals, pesticides and other toxins drain your body of essential nutrients. Junk food, incorrectly prepared foods and foods eaten in poor combination with other foods results in poor digestion of essential nutrients and drains your body of enzymes, coenzymes and other health building factors. These are the causes of the development of nutritional deficiencies.
What can I do to build my health?
Eat simple foods-unprocessed foods whenever possible. Enhance your digestive process by taking enzymes, coenzymes and other health building catalysts daily from Standard Process* (SP) & Mediherb* (MH)- for the rest of your life. Drink good pure water, get a moderate amount of exercise-daily walks for example and enjoy the benefits of regular natural health care check-ups.
What about my family-could they have signs of Nutritional Deficiency?
Yes- nutritional deficiencies do tend to run in families for various reasons: Genetics, environment (air, water, food) and similar food patterns are a few of these reasons. It is wise to check all family members early and regularly to help ensure their health is supported as best as one can with the benefits of health building catalysts.
How do I know if my Digestion is healthy?
Do you experience gas, burping, bloating and/or cramping?
Do you get heart burn or acid reflux after eating?
Do you take antacids more than 1x per week or take an acid blocker medication?
Do you have regular, at least daily bowel movements?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, your digestive tract may be struggling to digest your food.
