Metabolic Analysis - Urine & Saliva Testing
 As human beings, we are all fundamentally the same, almost genetically and biochemically identical. Whatever we put into our body becomes a part of us.
It is our metabolism where individuality most lies. Each of us is metabolically unique, our own personal ebb and flow of life. Our DNA does play a role in metabolism, so does our biochemistry, but ultimately it is determined by our diet and lifestyle.
The human body is a miracle in operation that reflects many events occurring at many different levels. The flow of life incorporates principles of chemistry, biology, physics, magnetism and more. Our physical bodies are comprised of fats, proteins, sugars and electrically charged molecules. It is the quality of these, and the relationships between them, that determine energy production and health.
Why urine and saliva testing?
Our blood stream has been called the river of life. It is the fluid which transports oxygen and nutrients to all our cells and as such is vitally important. Because of this our body has a number of control mechanisms which keep the chemistry of our blood within very narrow parameters. If this chemistry is not maintained we have potential for serious problems and by the time changes show it is often very late in the piece.
Urine and saliva on the other hand are vehicles by which this chemistry is maintained. Urine is essentially filtered blood, how our body removes metabolic wastes. Saliva reflects our lymphatic system - metabolic products our body still holds. By testing these two fluids we can see how your body is handling your lifestyle and fine tune and optimise your plan of attack. Is it as accurate as blood testing? No. Does it allow us to assess and improve your health in a proactive and focused manner? Absolutely.
We can use the analogy of approaching rain. A blood test equates with feeling raindrops on your cheek. Urine and saliva testing can be compared with an accurate weather forecast. It allows us to get the washing in before it gets soaked.
We measure
Electrolyte Status
Every cell in our body is fundamentally electric. Are you getting the minerals and quality fluids necessary for sustained energy production?
Antioxidant Activity
The balance between free radical induced energy production and antioxidant cellular repair.
Cell Membrane Dynamics
The ratio between saturated and unsaturated fats is the major player between energy production (catabolic) and repair and recovery (anabolic) states.
Energy Production
What is your body's preferred fuel source? Carbohydrates or fats. Vital for energy production and weight loss.
Protein Metabolism
Optimise your protein intake. The frontline of digestive efficiency and the metabolism of protein.
Nervous System Status
Is your nervous system coping with your daily demands?
pH
The acid, alkaline balance and its relationship with energy production and health.
Vitamin C Levels
A key antioxidant and vital for healthy tissue - The "glue" which holds us together.
Your Physiology
Provides specific information regarding your body's ability to adapt to your current diet and lifestyle.

Our Process and Package
Upon booking, our information package will be forwarded to you to advise you of our location, requirements for testing, and other general information. To optimise the quality of our time together we include our comprehensive health appraisal to complete prior to your appointment.
Upon arrival we require you to provide urine and saliva samples. From there you can sit back, relax and enjoy a complementary cup of herbal tea.
Physiology tests are performed towards the end of the session. Note that all testing performed is totally non-invasive. Immediately following testing a brief overview of your results is provided with some initial recommendations to get you started.
A comprehensive 5 page report will be forwarded to you via email within 5-7 days of testing.
A follow up appointment of 30 minutes is included in your package to discuss your results, answer any questions and initiate an action plan moving forward. This can be arranged either at your initial appointment or after you have received your report.
Ongoing support packages are then available to assist you on your journey to improved health and vitality! |
