Laboratory Health Testing

Lab Testing

Laboratory testing is often considered the gold standard of health assessment. It can be used to test for example:

nutritional status digestive function hormone balance

allergy and intolerance detoxification status

Samples

York Mind-Body Health can arrange testing with quality labs. Though some tests require a blood sample (and hence the involvement of a medical professional) many tests can be done using saliva, urine and stool samples. You can send the samples yourself in the post.

• Hair Mineral Analysis - can reveal not only imbalances and deficiencies in essential nutrients such as zinc and magnesium but also excesses of toxic heavy metals such as mercury and lead.
• Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis - can reveal how well you are digesting and absorbing, plus inflammatory markers and gut flora imbalances.
• Female Hormone Profile - Pre-Menstual Stress (PMS) is often linked to imbalances in the female sex hormones, oestrogen and progesterone. Imbalance can be corrected but it is essential to know the direction of the imbalance.
