Vitamins and minerals, also known as micronutrients, are a critical component for good health. Knowing your status of possible deficiencies is very important to help prevent disease. Standard test do not measure your nutrient levels. You may be deficient in essential micronutrients and not even know it.
Many people work at improving their health, yet some individuals still have deficiencies. Why?
Biochemical Individuality We are all metabolically and biochemically unique. The micronutrient requirements for one person may be quite different than the requirements for another. Your treatment plan created by me will be specific for your biochemical needs.
Absorption Although you may eat a balanced diet, if you do not absorb vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and/or other essential micronutrients properly, you will have deficiencies. The most common cause of decrease absorption of nutrients is untreated gastrointestinal disorders. Accurately diagnosing gastrointestinal conditions is critical for proper treatment and healing.
Chronic Illness Health conditions such as arthritis, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, fatigue, autoimmune disease, allergies, to name a few, can be affected, directly or indirectly, by micronutrient deficiencies.
Aging Our micronutrient requirements at age 30 are quite different from our requirements at age 40, 50 and beyond. Absorption difficulties, especially of vitamin B12, quite commonly occur as we age.
Lifestyle Excessive physical activity, prescription drugs, smoking, alcohol and sedentary habits all impact micronutrient demands.
