LAB TEST Micronutrient & Antioxidant Analysis

$615.00 $615.00

Cellular Micronutrient Assay This comprehensive nutritional analysis measures over 50 micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other key nutrients) at the cellular level. Compared to serum testing, which only gives a snapshot of one’s nutrient status, cellular testing provides insight into long-term, functional nutritional status. Why is this test important? Nutrients are vital to health and are required for every metabolic process in the body. Insufficiencies can negatively affect health and play a role in compromising immune health and setting the stage for degenerative processes, such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Nutrient requirements are unique to each individual and are impacted by many factors, such as diet, age, digestion and absorption, medications, stress, genetics, pregnancy, activity levels, illnesses, sleep patterns, and toxin levels. Regularly evaluating one’s micronutrient status can help to determine optimal daily nutrient intake and allow for ongoing customized support. The Cellular Micronutrient Assay measures the following nutrients: Vitamins Minerals Amino Acids Other Nutrients Thiamine (vitamin B1) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) Biotin Cobalamin (vitamin B12) Folate (vitamin B9) Nicotinamide (niacin, vitamin B3) Pantothenic Acid Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) Vitamin C Vitamin A Vitamin D Vitamin E (delta-tocotrienol) Vitamin K1 Vitamin K2-MK7 Vitamin K2-MK4 Boron Calcium Chromium Copper Iodine Iron Lithium Magnesium Manganese Molybdenum Potassium Selenium Strontium Vanadium Zinc Arginine Asparagine Cysteine Glutamine Glycine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Serine Methionine Phenylalanine Taurine Threonine Tryptophan Tyrosine Valine Alpha-ketoglutarate Carnitine Choline Glutathione Inositol Antioxidant Protection Assay Exposure to air pollutants, toxins, industrial chemicals, smoking, medications, ultraviolet rays, etc., can all generate harmful free radicals in the body. Even normal metabolic processes, such as eating food, can produce free radicals. An overload or accumulation of free radicals causes oxidative stress, which has been shown to be an underlying factor in the aging process, chronic inflammation, as well as in the development of degenerative diseases. One of the body’s most important mechanisms for combating oxidative stress is by utilizing antioxidants, which can neutralize free radicals and protect cells against damage. For optimal protection, antioxidant resources must continually be restored via diet and/or supplementation. The Antioxidant Protection Assay measures your cell’s resistance to oxidative stress, determines your overall antioxidant capacity, and provides you with specific antioxidant nutrients that can improve your antioxidant capacity and best protect your cells from oxidative damage. The Antioxidant Protection Assay measures the following antioxidants: Botanicals, Plant Extracts, Pigments, and Phytonutrients Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Nutrients, Fatty Acids and Enzymes Acai Berry Andrographis Astaxanthin Astragalus Camu Camu Chlorophyll Echinacea Elderberry Frankincense Gingko biloba Goji Berry Grape Seed Green Tea Lavender Lutein Lycopene Maitake mushroom Mangosteen Milk Thistle Noni Berry Piperine Pomegranate Pycnogenol Quercetin Resveratrol Rhodiola Root Shiitake mushroom Sulforaphane Turmeric Wild Cherry Bark Zeaxanthin Beta-carotene Catalase Coenzyme Q10 Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) Glutathione Linoleic Acid Lipoic Acid NADH Oleic Acid (omega-9) Palmitoleic acid (omega-7) Pyrroloquinoline Selenium Super Oxide Dismutase (SOD) Vitamin C Vitamin E (Delta tocotrienol) Zinc Test Type: Blood – A test kit will be mailed to you along with instructions for having your blood drawn at a participating lab.

Brain Chemistry Panel - My Village Green

LAB TEST Brain Chemistry Panel

$467.50 $467.50

Brain Chemistry Panel This lab panel was developed by nutritional medicine pioneer, Dr. William Walsh, based on his research on over 30,000 individuals with mental health disorders. He identified several common biochemical imbalances that appear to be underlying factors in many mental health conditions, including autism, Asperger’s syndrome, ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, aggressive/violent behavior, and other mental and emotional conditions. By carefully evaluating a person’s unique biochemistry, a skilled healthcare practitioner can create a customized nutrient program designed to correct imbalances. Because some people have abnormalities in all areas, while others might only have an imbalance in one, it is important to identify the specific imbalances for better, more focused support. The nutrient therapies (vitamins, minerals, and amino acids) involved in correcting biochemical imbalances are considered safe to use with most prescription medications commonly used for mood disorders. In some cases, prescription medications may continue to provide added benefits to the nutrient therapies, in which case both can be continued indefinitely. This Panel Includes: Kryptopyrrole Urinary Quantitative Pyrrole disorder is characterized by an elevated urine kryptopyrrole, which results in a dramatic deficiency of zinc and vitamin B6. Pyroluria is frequently identified in behavior disorders, autism, Asperger’s, ADHD, ADD, depression, bipolar disorders, assaultive/aggressive/violent behavior, schizophrenia and other mental and emotional conditions. Pyroluria can create poor tolerance of physical and emotional stress, poor anger control, emotional mood swings, depression, anxiety, poor short-term memory, frequent infections, inability to tan, poor dream recall, abnormal fat distribution, sensitivity to light and sound and tactile sensitivities. Copper Serum Copper serum is a highly reliable blood test that directly relates to brain chemistry. Elevated copper levels can alter brain function, specifically lowering dopamine levels and raising norepinephrine levels. Imbalances in these essential brain chemicals have been related to paranoid schizophrenia, bi-polar disorder, postpartum depression, ADD, ADHD, autism, and violent aggressive behavior. Copper serum levels can single handedly be the root cause of an individual condition, but elevated copper serum levels are also known to cause zinc levels to deplete and oxidative stress to rise. Zinc Plasma More than 90% of people diagnosed with depression, behavioral disorder, ADHD, autism, and schizophrenia exhibit depleted zinc levels. Zinc deficiency has been associated with delayed growth, temper control problems, poor immune function, depression, poor wound healing, epilepsy, anxiety, neurodegenerative disorders, hormone imbalances and learning problems. Whole Blood Histamine Whole Blood histamine levels are a marker for methylation, a critical biochemical pathway necessary for the production of neurotransmitters such serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine. Genetic abnormalities in methylation can result in either the overproduction or underproduction of these important brain neurotransmitters. People that overproduce neurotransmitters (over-methylators) often have high anxiety, panic disorders, and chemical sensitivities. Individuals who under-produce neurotransmitters (under-methylators) often exhibit depression, compulsive behaviors, and perfectionism. Ceruloplasmin Ceruloplasmin is blood protein that binds to copper and plays a role in iron metabolism. Measuring ceruloplasmin and copper enables a practitioner to accurately calculate a patient’s free percentage of copper. Free copper is the amount of unbound copper circulating in the blood, unbound to ceruloplasmin. Individuals with more than 25% of their copper not bound to ceruloplasmin are considered to have elevated oxidative stress levels. This condition is common in autism, postpartum depression, ADHD, and certain forms of psychosis. Test Type: Urine Collection A test kit will be mailed to you along with detailed collection instructions from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory. Blood test* This test also requires a blood draw. A lab requisition form and necessary instructions will be emailed to you from DHA Laboratory. Take the requisition form to a local LabCorp Patient Service Center.

Arthritis and Bone Health Panel This unique panel evaluates inflammation and includes markers for autoimmune conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis. This panel also measures uric acid levels to assess if joint pain may be caused by gout. This test may be especially helpful for individuals experiencing joint pain, particularly in the wrists, hands, and feet, pain or stiffness in the same joints on both sides of the body, and for those who have a family history of autoimmune conditions. The Arthritis & Bone Health Panel Includes: CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) CMP is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function. This panel includes ALT/(SPGT), alkaline phosphatase, AST/SGOT, bilirubin total, bun, calcium, carbon dioxide total, chloride, creatinine, globulin, glucose, potassium, protein total, sodium. AG ratio, bun/creatinine ratio. Lipid Panel The lipid panel measures HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), and provides a LDL:HDL ratio. The ratio can help a person evaluate their risk for heart disease. Glucose This test detects blood sugar imbalances, such as high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Measuring glucose can screen for prediabetes and diabetes and is also important for monitoring persons with diabetes. Uric Acid Uric acid is a waste product found in blood. It’s created when the body breaks down chemicals called purines. Most uric acid dissolves in the blood, passes through the kidneys and leaves the body in urine. Too much uric acid can cause crystals to form in joints and the kidneys. CRP, Quan C-reactive protein (CRP) is a substance made by the liver and secreted into the bloodstream within a few hours after the start of an infection or inflammation. It is an important marker of inflammation. RA Factor A rheumatoid factor (RF) blood test measures the amount of the RF antibody present in the blood. The test for RF may be ordered when a person has joint pain, swelling, weakness, nodules under the skin or when rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is suspected.

LAB TEST Anemia Panel

$195.00 $195.00

Anemia Panel Anemia is the most common nutritional deficiency in the United States. It is a condition that develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a main part of red blood cells and binds oxygen. If you have too few or abnormal red blood cells, or your hemoglobin is abnormal or low, the cells in your body will not get enough oxygen. Symptoms of anemia occur because organs aren't getting what they need to function properly. Because there are many types and causes of anemia, we have created this panel to look at the most frequent causes, such as iron deficiency, B12 deficiency, and the bone marrow’s ability to produce red blood cells. Symptoms of anemia symptoms include fatigue, pale skin, weakness, shortness of breath, headache, dizziness, and cold hands and feet. Individuals who should consider testing include, women of childbearing age, young children, people with chronic diseases, older adults, as well as vegetarians and vegans. The Anemia Panel Includes: CBC (Complete Blood Count) A CBC gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This panel looks for many illnesses, including anemia, infections, and leukemia, in your blood. CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) CMP is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function. This panel includes ALT/(SPGT), alkaline phosphatase, AST/SGOT, bilirubin total, bun, calcium, carbon dioxide total, chloride, creatinine, globulin, glucose, potassium, protein total, sodium. AG ratio, bun/creatinine ratio. Iron & TIBC Iron is an important mineral that your body needs to stay healthy. Your body uses iron to make hemoglobin, the protein in your red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout your body. The total iron-binding capacity (TIBC) test looks at how well the iron moves through your body. Ferritin Ferritin is a protein found inside cells that stores iron so your body can use it later. A ferritin test indirectly measures the amount of iron in your blood. Vitamin B12 & Folate Measuring vitamin B12 & folate levels can help diagnose the cause of macrocytic anemia. Vitamin B12 is necessary for the formation of normal red blood cells, nerve function, and tissue and cellular repair. HgA1c A Hemoglobin A1C test provides a measurement of a person’s average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months by determining the percentage of their hemoglobin which is glycated. This test includes a calculation for estimated average glucose (eAG). EAG is a measurement which indicates a person’s average daily blood sugar level. Reticulocyte Count A reticulocyte count is a blood test that measures how fast red blood cells are made by the bone marrow and released into the blood. Reticulocytes are in the blood for about 2 days before developing into mature red blood cells. Test Type: Blood* Within 1-3 days, you will receive an email from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory, that contains your lab requisition form and necessary instructions.

LAB TEST Pyrrole Analysis

$257.50 $257.50

Pyrrole Analysis Pyrrole disorder, or pyroluria, is a common stress disorder in children and adults that is caused by a genetic abnormality in biochemistry where the body creates too many pyrrole molecules. Pyrroles are byproducts of hemoglobin synthesis, have little or no function in the body, and are excreted in the urine. However, because pyrroles have a strong affinity for binding to vitamin B6 and zinc, excessive amounts of pyrrole molecules can cause a dramatic deficiency of these nutrients and increase oxidative stress. This of course can have a profound impact on one’s mental and physical well-being. Pyroluria is frequently identified in behavior disorders, autism, Asperger’s, ADHD, ADD, depression, bipolar disorders, assaultive/aggressive/violent behavior, schizophrenia and other mental and emotional conditions. Pyroluria can create poor tolerance of physical and emotional stress, poor anger control, emotional mood swings, depression, anxiety, poor short-term memory, frequent infections, inability to tan, poor dream recall, abnormal fat distribution, sensitivity to light and sound and tactile sensitivities. Measuring pyrrole levels in the urine is a non-invasive way to identify pyrrole disorder. If pyrrole levels are elevated, a customized nutrient protocol can be created to correct imbalances and address oxidative stress. Retesting pyrrole levels in approximately 2-3 months after starting a nutrient protocol can be helpful to monitor progress. This test is also included in our Brain Chemistry Panel. Test Type: Urine Collection - A test kit will be mailed to you along with detailed collection instructions from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory. Results: Results for this test can take 3-5 business days. DHA Laboratory will email your results to you. We strongly recommend that for this test, you consult with a practitioner that has specific knowledge of pyrrole disorder and advanced nutrient therapy.

LAB TEST Glyphosate Test

$270.00 $270.00

Glyphosate is the world’s most widely used herbicide and is the active ingredient in the popular brand, Roundup. It has been declared a likely carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization. Studies show that glyphosate exposure is associated with many chronic health conditions, including cancer, reproductive and developmental problems, autoimmune conditions, autism, diabetes, disruptions in the gut microbiome, and more. Corn, soy, wheat, canola, sugar beets, and almonds are examples of foods most commonly treated with glyphosate. Eating non-GMO foods and drinking reverse osmosis water are two of the best ways to avoid glyphosate. A recent study showed that people eating organic food had considerably lower concentrations of glyphosate in their urine. In addition, drinking extra water can also be beneficial since glyphosate is water soluble. This non-invasive lab test can measure glyphosate levels in your body. Determining the route of introduction and avoiding future exposure are important aspects of treatment. Test Type: This test is done at-home via urine sample collected first thing in the morning, ideally prior to eating or drinking anything. Detailed instructions will be included inside your test kit. Please note: All tests are authorized and reviewed by a physician from our partner laboratory.

LAB TEST SIBO Breath Test

$432.50 $432.50

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is a common condition where there is an abnormal increase in the number of bacteria in the small intestine, which can cause a variety of digestive symptoms. Normally, the small intestine has a small number of bacteria, but in SIBO, the bacteria from the colon migrate upward and grow in the small intestine. This can lead to symptoms such as bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, malabsorption of nutrients, and intestinal permeability (leaky gut). Underlying factors that can contribute to the development of SIBO include impaired small bowel motility (due neurologic disorders), structural abnormalities (from Crohn’s disease), medications (such as PPIs – proton pump inhibitors used to treat acid reflux), weakened immunity, and certain dietary factors. This non-invasive breath test can help to determine the presence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. It involves drinking a solution of lactulose, a type of sugar that is not fully digested in the small intestine, but is instead fermented by bacteria. As the bacteria ferment the lactulose, they produce gases such as hydrogen and methane, which are then exhaled and measured in the breath. This test measures the levels of these gases over a period of 3 hours. Abnormal levels of hydrogen and/or methane in the breath can indicate the presence of SIBO. Test Type: Breath test A test kit will be mailed to you from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory, that contains detailed preparation and collection instructions. Results: Test results will be emailed to you from DHA Laboratory in approximately 7-10 business days.

LAB TEST CardioMetabolic Health Profile

$650.00 $650.00

CardioMetabolic Health Panel Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in both men and women in the United States. Individuals with metabolic syndrome have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Metabolic syndrome traits include an increased waist circumference, blood pressure elevation, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, and high blood sugar. Fortunately, many of the risk factors for both cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome can be modified with diet and lifestyle. The CardioMetabolic Health Profile can help you to understand your risk factors so that you can best take targeted action. If you have been diagnosed with or have a family history of diabetes, inflammation, obesity, heart disease, stroke, blood clots, high blood pressure, fatty liver disease, this test is highly recommended. This advanced test evaluates risk factors for cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and type 2 diabetes. With over 20 biomarkers analyzed, this comprehensive panel provides an in-depth view into cholesterol health, hormone and blood sugar balance, kidney health, and inflammation. The CardioMetabolic Health Panel Includes: Adiponectin - A protein hormone produced and secreted exclusively by adipocytes (fat cells) that regulates the metabolism of lipids and glucose. Adiponectin influences the body's response to insulin. Adiponectin also has anti-inflammatory effects on the cells lining the walls of blood vessels. Apolipoprotein, A1 (ApoA1) – a protein associated with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles and facilitates the removal of cholesterol by enabling its transport back to the liver for excretion. Low levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) – a protein produced in the liver that is attached to the surface of low-density lipoproteins (LDL). ApoB reflects the level of atherogenic lipoproteins in the blood. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) - a protein made by your liver that is sent into your bloodstream in response to inflammation. Cholesterol – measure of the total amount of cholesterol (waxy, fat-like substance) in your blood. It includes both low-density lipoprotein LDL cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. Creatinine – a waste product created by the body’s energy-producing processes in your muscles. Healthy kidneys filter creatinine out of the blood and exits in the urine. Creatinine test measures how well your kidneys are filtering waste from the blood. Cystatin C - a protein that is produced by the cells in your body. When kidneys are working well, they keep the level of cystatin C in your blood just right. If the level of cystatin C in your blood is too high, it may mean that your kidneys are not working well. eGFR – estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is considered the best test to measure kidney function. Glucose – measurement of your blood sugar at the time of the blood draw. Too much or too little glucose in the blood is a concern. Glycomark (1,5-AG) – measures recent glycemic variability (within the last two weeks) High-density lipoprotein (HDL) – called the “good” cholesterol because it helps to carry away LDL cholesterol to help keep arteries open. Higher levels of HDL cholesterol are associated with a lower risk of heart disease. Homocysteine – this protein is dangerous at high levels because it indicates poor methylation (detoxification) ability. Homocysteine can cause damage to the endothelial lining of blood vessels and is associated with heart disease, stroke, and dementia. Insulin - a hormone made by the pancreas that helps move blood sugar (glucose) from your bloodstream into your cells. Insulin plays a key role in keeping glucose at the right levels. If glucose levels are too high or too low, it can cause serious health problems. Leptin - a hormone produced primarily by fat cells that helps to maintain energy balance in the body by regulating metabolism and hunger. Leptin:Adiponectin ratio - high leptin to adiponectin (LAR) ratios have been associated with obesity, type II diabetes, insulin resistance, inflammation, and CVD. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) – called the “bad” cholesterol because it is the main source of cholesterol buildup and blockage in the arteries. Lipoprotein(a) – very small, dense LDL that is a risk factor for blood clots as it can easily penetrate the arterial lining and become oxidized and build plaque. Oxidized LDL – formed when oxidative stress leads to modification of the ApoB subunit on LDL cholesterol. Oxidized LDL appears to help initiate and accelerate the development of early atherosclerotic lesions. PLAC (LP-PLA2) – measures the amount of inflammation inside your arteries. Small dense LDL - atherogenic particles that are easily oxidized and penetrate the arterial endothelium to form plaque. Triglycerides – type of fat in your blood that is made in the body and also comes from the food you eat. Extra calories (largely from excess carbohydrates) are turned into triglycerides and stored in fat cells for later use. If you eat more calories than your body needs, your triglyceride level may be high. High triglyceride level is a risk factor for atherosclerosis, heart attack, stroke, and type 2 diabetes. Test Type: Blood A test kit will be mailed to you from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory, that contains instructions for having your blood drawn at a participating lab. We can also help you connect with a mobile phlebotomist, if you prefer. Please note, an additional blood draw fee will be required.

Too Beneficial

Marshmallow Root is too beneficial to give up! Even my son, who is not into herbal supplements, has to have it! While it is not a drug, it takes awhile to do the maximum benefits! In short, I’ll never be without it!

Helps me

I'm an attorney. I have a high stress job. This helps me calm my racing mind on all the things I need to get done and just... breathe and focus.
