True health defined. True relief found.

Wisdom states, "The truth will set you free." Through comprehensive testing, we discover the 'true health' of the systems in your body, which allows us to address the real source of your discomfort. This discovery empowers you with the knowledge and comfort of ‘now I know what to do’ and frees you from the angst of ‘wondering what is wrong’. Yes, our system of comprehensive tests will identify your issues and their causes, but unique to IH is the exceptional interpretation of the findings. Our physician’s unique perspective is based on modeling your prognosis within the guidelines of a healthy, vibrant body versus the more traditional approach, which is measured against someone in disease. This innovative solution makes all the difference in your results.

Comprehensive Testing

AD(H)D Testing | A comprehensive test panel that identifies underlying physiological imbalances in your body including nutrition and diet, toxic metals and toxic chemicals, and environmental influences which contribute to the symptoms of AD(H)D.

Adrenal Stress Testing | Adrenal stress tests provide a comprehensive 24 hour assessment of adrenal function, which is crucial as adrenal stress and/or exhaustion can be at the root of numerous physical and mental health concerns.

Allergy Testing | Helps discover causative agents that lead to inflammation, gas, bloating, coughing, wheezing and other symptoms.

Autism and Pervasive Development Disorder (PDD) Testing | Our Autism tests identify nervous system imbalances, immune system imbalances, mechanisms of infections, toxic metals and toxic chemicals as well as dietary peptide induction of neuroimmunological disorders.

Cancer/Cardiovascular Marker Testing* | Enhance your personal health surveillance program for cancer and cariovascular disease with a comprehensive battery of cardiovascular and inflammatory markers. This testing is a powerful tool to manage your overall wellness strategy.

Candida Testing | Candida albicans is a normal organism that lives in our GI tract. The normal balance of intestinal flora can be disrupted by aggressive use of antibiotics, high sugar intake, and certain types of medications, illness and diabetes. With candidiasis, symptoms can include fatigue, vaginitis, allergies, foggy brain and other symptoms. We are able to effectively treat candidiasis based on accurate testing.

Endocrine Testing | Diagnose multiple symptoms through the measurement of specific hormonal levels, along with the function of different glands in your body. Your doctor may run tests to determine thyroid function, growth hormone function, reproductive hormones (estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, DHEA, etc.), bone density, mineral metabolism and adrenal function, based on your symptoms.

Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) Testing | Since individual test results for Fibromyalgia and CFS often appear normal and many of the symptoms mimic those of other disorders comprehensive tests combined with a systematic symptoms checklist is helpful to diagnose and treat fibromyalgia and CFS.

Heavy Metal and Chemical Testing | Patients with chronic illness or exposure to heavy metals or chemicals can benefit from having their levels assessed. A treatment plan is then created to address any issues.

Mental Health Testing | Many mind/mood disorders, and their resulting behavioral dysfunction, can be linked to nutritional deficiencies, malabsorption or utilization of nutrients, imbalances in the endocrine system, toxic environmental exposure, neurotransmitter disruptions, immune dysfunction, gastrointestinal health as well as other imbalances. Comprehensive mental health testing will aid your doctor in restoring your body and mind to balance.

Metabolic Analysis Testing | Your individual resting metabolic rate (RMR) is measured through oxygen uptake (VO2). This is a more accurate tool for weight management because it is based on how many calories you actually burn during a day. Once your RMR is calculated, your body fat is measured through bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA). Your doctor will then customize a diet plan for you based on your requirements.

Microbial Tests | Beneficial bacteria live in us naturally and help each of our body functions. Harmful bacteria, or even over growth of beneficial bacteria, cause imbalances that disrupt normal body function and health. Once levels are determined, a treatment plan is created to address any issues.

Neurotransmitter Testing | Neurotransmitters play a key role in many emotional and physiological functions in your body. By determining these levels, we are able to determine the basic deficiencies found in many conditions such as anxiety and depression, and can then treat accordingly.

Nutritional Testing | IH offers several different nutritional panels. They are designed to test for amino acids, minerals, micro nutrients and vitamins. By finding your specific nutritional profile your doctor can tailor supplementation most efficiently.

Sex and Energy Testing* | Sex hormone levels change as we age, with some decreasing while others increase.  Sometimes hormone levels can be out of balance, producing undesirable symptoms, including low energy and low sex drive. Testing helps detect these changes and directs our physicians in plotting a course of correction.  With an eye on reproductive hormones, liver, adrenal and thyroid function, anemia, diabetes, and blood chemistry, our testing looks at a wide range of the medical causes of low energy.

Tourette’s and Tics Testing | Comprehensive testing is beneficial to find any hidden causes or imbalances that, when combined with regular acupuncture, can reduce or eliminate symptoms.

Wellness Testing | Ever want to know exactly how your body and immune system stacks up in the overall “big” picture?  Wellness panels go way beyond your basic chemistry panels and can show you areas needing improvement before they become a medical concern.

Core Testing* | Add a full complement of Autoimmune Biomarkers to the Cancer/Cardiovascular and Sex and Energy testing above and you have the core knowledge of an across the board spectrum of your medical condition.
