Item Description

Jacksonville Health and Wellness - Nutrition package which includes Exam, consult, and diagnostics.

Your 1^st Nutritional Exam can include the following:

Vital Signs: Blood pressure, pulse, respiration, height, weight

Heart Rate Variability (if medically necessary): computer heart rate monitor to determine the status of your autonomic nervous system, and the ability to adapt to stress.

Body fat analysis: There is growing evidence that links excess fat weight with both health risks and the development of certain diseases. New research indicates that fat loss not weight loss can extend human longevity. By measuring body composition (Fat weight and muscle weight), a person’s health status can be accurately assessed and the effects of both dietary and physical programs better directed. How will my body fat be analyzed? A method called Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis is used to analyze for fat weight and muscle weight. Body impedance (resistance) is measured when a small safe electrical signal is passed through the body carried by water and fluids. Impedance is greatest in fat tissue, which contains only 10-20% water, while muscle mass, which contains 70-75% water, allows the signal to pass much more easily. By using the impedance measurements along with a person’s height, weight and body type (gender, age, fitness level) it is possible to calculate the percentage of body fat, fat-free mass, hydration level and other body composition values. All of the gathered information is used to create your nutritional and wellness program.

Basal Metabolic Rate: assessment of your “metabolism” – a function of your thyroid gland. It is the amount of energy expended while at rest to maintain your vital organs from functioning.

Stress Testing: Blood pressure stress test and urinary assessment for functionality of your adrenal glands.

Salivary and Urine pH: a great overall measure of your acid and alkaline balance.

Food Diary & Supplemental Analysis: analysis of your current protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin and mineral content to allow for customization of meal planning.

Oxidata Test : Determination of your free radical levels. This urine test is 50 times more sensitive than a blood serum test for measuring the degree of free radical activity. Free radicals are formed with almost every biochemical reaction in the body. Damage from free radicals can lead to cellular degeneration that may result in allergies, arthritis, fatigue and many other conditions. High free radical levels can eventually contribute to the onset of cancer.

Indican Test : this test measures the amount of indicant in the urine. The putrefaction of undigested foods within the bowels creates indicant. High levels of indicant can indicate many conditions, including the presence of undigested foods, small intestine obstruction, diminished bile flow and stomach disorders. The test will help to determine the type and length of your detoxification program.
