With the seasons changing and fall quickly approaching, I’ve seen a plethora of new clients to my page looking to start living their healthiest, happiest lives. I wanted to write a quick blog post introducing some of my most popular services to these new faces. In all aspects of my work, my goal is to identify the root cause of any underlying health symptoms, so that you can achieve your maximum health potential.

Below I will write a brief overview of each service I currently provide through Living Balance Wellness. Please visit the Services section of my website for more detailed information on each.

  • Metabolic Typing 
  • Hair Mineral Analysis
  • Gastro-Intestinal Health
  • Adrenal Stress Test
  • Meridian Autonomic Testing
  • Emotional Freedom Technique 

Metabolic Typing:

Healthexcel’s Metabolic Typing is an easy-to-use, proven technology that allows you to rapidly identify your own highly individualized dietary needs through discovering your metabolic type. Take a look at what eating to support your metabolic type can do for you:

  • Optimizes Cellular Energy Production
  • Normalizes Appetite
  • Eliminates Cravings
  • Increases Focus and Concentration
  • Balances Emotions
  • Improves Mood
  • Increases Energy and Athletic Performance

Hair Mineral Analysis: 

A hair sample, when properly obtained, analyzed, and interpreted, acts as an excellent screening tool for complex nutrient interrelationships within the body and provides specific information about one’s metabolic and nutritional status. This includes the effects of diet, nutritional supplementation, stress, toxic metal exposure, and even inherited mineral patterns.

The Hair Mineral Analysis Evaluates:

  • Digestion and Assimilation of Nutrients
  • Presence of leaky gut or dysbiosis
  • Overall Thyroid and Adrenal Function
  • Blood Sugar Regulation
  • Internal Stress Response
  • Heavy Metal Toxicity

Gastro-Intestinal Health:

The 401 H Intestinal Screen is an incredibly reliable intestinal microflora screen documents parasitic and pathogenic involvement that can interfere with normal gastrointestinal function and develop into a health related condition. This is an ideal first step for anyone suffering an assortment of the following symptoms:

  • Gas or bloating
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Digestive discomfort
  • Food allergies
  • IBS or Colitis
  • Anxiety, irritability or tension
  • Food sitting heavy on the stomach after eating

Six stool samples and one smear are taken over a four-day period, providing a highly reliable comprehensive analysis of intestinal microflora. Proper testing and treatment are crucial to regaining your health!

Adrenal Stress Profile Test:

The Adrenal Stress Profile Tests your hormone and immune system function for those chronically tired, or who get sick often. With this simple saliva test, you can test 11 different hormones in the body and determine how your internal system (specifically your adrenal function), is responding to stress.

Meridian Autonomic Testing:

Meridian Autonomic Testing is a non-invasive system of evaluating the body in order to determine the underlying causes of health complaints or imbalances. This technique is probably very different from anything you might have experienced before and might at first seem a little strange. Unlike a blood test or tissue sample, which is very cut and dry and tangible, Meridian Autonomic Testing is an evaluation of the body’s nervous system – It is an “energetic test,” using your own body’s bio-feedback.

This technique analyzes different areas on the surface of the body that relate to the state of health and to the flow of energy in each and every organ and function of the body. For instance, there are certain points on the body that correspond to an organ, tissue, or function. By applying very slight pressure to those points, a practitioner is able gage the effect that energy or lack of energy is having on these specific areas, and in effect, helps identify exactly what the body needs to obtain balance and optimal health.

Meridian Autonomic Testing is not used to diagnose or treat disease, but rather to assess your body’s current state of health. Using real food nutrition i.e., safe, natural, nutritional means, we can then help the body repair itself and to attain more optimum individualized health with each visit.

Emotional Freedom Technique: 

EFT is an amazingly efficient technique that allows you to halt the fight-or-flight response and reprogram the brain and body to act, and react differently. EFT is so effective at calming the nervous system that MRI’s and PET scans can actually record the “red alert” being called off in the brain during the EFT process. By retraining your brain with this technique, you are able to permanently alter conditioned fear pathways. You can develop new ways of thinking and perceiving the world and release debilitating fears, thoughts and memories.
