Saliva Hormone Testing offers a simple, non-invasive way to measure hormone fluctuations that blood tests often miss. For women in perimenopause or menopause, this test provides an essential window into hormone balance throughout the day. Common symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, sleep problems, weight gain, low libido, and irregular cycles may be linked to estrogen dominance — when estrogen levels are too high relative to progesterone. By identifying these imbalances, saliva testing helps explain the root causes of difficult symptoms and guides natural solutions to restore balance and improve quality of life.

Unlike a single blood draw, saliva hormone testing captures hormone levels at multiple points during the day, offering “to-the-hour” accuracy. This is especially important for assessing cortisol patterns, which reflect how your adrenal glands handle daily stress. Chronic fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, or feeling “burned out” may indicate disrupted cortisol production. Testing cortisol three times daily, alongside a five-panel hormone profile, paints a fuller picture of your endocrine health.

The five-panel saliva test typically measures estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, cortisol, and androgens. With this detailed insight, our hormone expert can interpret the results and provide a personalized strategy for rebalancing your hormones — whether through nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle shifts, or stress management. For many clients, this approach is more accurate and revealing than standard doctor-ordered blood tests, and in Canada, these specialized US labs are usually only available through holistic practitioners.

Hair Analysis is a simple, non-invasive test that measures the levels of essential minerals and toxic metals in your body. By sending a small sample of hair to the lab, the analysis can detect whether you have adequate amounts of vital minerals such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, selenium, and potassium, while also identifying excesses or imbalances. Importantly, this method is especially effective at detecting heavy metals like lead, mercury, aluminum, and arsenic, which can accumulate in the body over time and contribute to chronic health concerns.

With this detailed mineral profile, our holistic practitioner can gain a clearer understanding of your nutritional status and toxic load. The results guide individualized recommendations to correct deficiencies, reduce toxic exposures, and restore balance in the body. By addressing these imbalances, you can support detoxification, improve energy and resilience, and move toward greater overall health and vitality. Hair analysis offers a practical step in identifying hidden obstacles and creating a path to better well-being.

Nutritional Assessment is the foundation of a personalized health and wellness plan. One approach involves keeping a 5–7 day diet journal, recording the exact foods, brands, and portion sizes you consume on a typical day. The nutritionist then analyzes this intake using specialized software or fitness apps to calculate your daily percentages of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates, as well as your intake of vitamins and minerals compared to the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs). This provides a clear picture of where your diet is balanced and where it may be falling short.

Another form of assessment is a one-hour consultation, where the nutritionist gathers information through detailed questions about your health, symptoms, and daily habits. She may observe physical signs such as the appearance of your skin, nails, tongue, and eyes, as well as asking about digestive health, energy patterns, and sleep. This holistic evaluation combines practical observation with nutritional science to uncover possible deficiencies or imbalances that may not yet show up on lab tests.

From this assessment, the nutritionist can create a tailored diet and supplement program designed to correct deficiencies and support long-term health. Common areas of concern in today’s diet include insufficient intake of omega-3 fatty acids, magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, and antioxidants from fruits and vegetables. Processed foods often contribute to excess sugars, poor-quality fats, and sodium, while leaving gaps in essential micronutrients. Personalized recommendations may therefore include increasing whole, nutrient-dense foods, supporting digestion, and filling gaps with carefully chosen supplements.

The goal of nutritional assessment is not just to treat current symptoms, but to promote resilience, prevent chronic disease, and improve overall quality of life. With the guidance of a nutritionist, you gain practical tools, meal ideas, and supplement strategies that fit your lifestyle and address your unique biochemical needs. Over time, these adjustments can lead to more energy, stronger immunity, improved digestion, and a renewed sense of well-being.
 

pH Acid-Base Balance Testing helps you monitor the balance between acidity and alkalinity in your body, a key factor in overall health. Using simple pH strips on your first-morning urine or saliva, you can quickly determine if your levels are closer to neutral (around pH 7). When your body is overly acidic, it may place stress on vital systems, reduce energy, and create an internal environment where chronic disease is more likely to thrive. By tracking daily results and adjusting your diet and supplements accordingly, you can support clearer thinking, stronger energy, and improved resilience.

Symptoms of an acidic body chemistry may include fatigue, joint pain, poor digestion, brain fog, frequent infections, or bone loss such as osteoporosis. With personalized guidance from a practitioner, pH testing results can be paired with an acid-base diet and targeted supplements to restore a healthier balance. This program helps neutralize acid-forming foods, reduce inflammation, and protect bone health, while creating a more supportive environment for healing and prevention. Daily monitoring not only shows progress but also empowers you to take an active role in your nutritional program and long-term wellness.

Ketone Testing measures the level of ketones in your body, compounds produced when fat is broken down for energy instead of carbohydrates. In a ketogenic or low-carbohydrate diet, the goal is to shift your metabolism into a state of ketosis, where fat becomes the primary fuel source. This metabolic switch can support weight management, improve insulin sensitivity, and provide a steady energy supply for the brain. In fact, therapeutic ketogenic diets are being increasingly studied and applied for conditions such as diabetes, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders, and certain mental health conditions.

Accurate ketone monitoring is essential to know whether you are in ketosis and to guide your nutrition program effectively. Traditional urine strips provide a rough measure, but blood ketone testing offers a far more precise assessment of your metabolic state. With platforms such as Keto-Mojo, results can be uploaded and shared with your practitioner throughout the day, providing ongoing support and accountability. This technology helps ensure you stay on track, make informed dietary adjustments, and achieve the best possible outcomes on your ketogenic or therapeutic diet.

By confirming your ketone levels regularly, you gain both motivation and scientific feedback on your progress. This empowers you to stick with your plan, balance your macronutrient intake, and experience the potential benefits of fat-based metabolism — including improved energy, mental clarity, and long-term metabolic health.

 Physician Panel Testing offers a practical first step in understanding your nutritional and metabolic health using standard blood tests ordered by your physician. Typically covered under Medicare or private insurance, these panels can include key markers such as vitamin B12 and vitamin D levels, homocysteine (a marker related to cardiovascular and methylation health), and blood sugar indicators like fasting glucose or HbA1c. Together, these results provide insight into whether deficiencies, imbalances, or early signs of conditions like pre-diabetes may be present.

With these foundational lab results, a nutritionist can design a personalized nutrition and supplement program tailored to your unique needs. Addressing deficiencies and supporting both acute concerns and long-term health goals helps reduce risk factors, improve energy and resilience, and build a stronger foundation for wellness. This targeted approach ensures that dietary recommendations and supplement strategies are not generic, but guided directly by your body’s own biochemistry.

 The ION (Individual Optimal Nutrition) Profile with 40 Amino Acids is a comprehensive biochemical test that evaluates over 40 biomarkers across amino acids, nutrient status, metabolic byproducts, and oxidative stress markers. By measuring both deficiencies and excesses, this panel provides a broad, in-depth look into how well your body is obtaining, processing, and balancing essential nutrients. 

With this kind of detailed information, clients gain insight into hidden imbalances that may underlie symptoms like fatigue, poor recovery, or metabolic disruptions. These insights guide personalized nutrition, supplementation, and lifestyle strategies to restore optimal function, prevent chronic issues, and support overall wellness.

(Tests takes both blood and urine).

 The Organic Acids Test (OAT) is a urine-based metabolic assessment that measures over 70 organic acid markers — metabolites of cellular processes, gut flora, nutrient pathways, and detoxification reactions. By analyzing these metabolic byproducts, the test provides a snapshot of how well the body is managing processes such as mitochondrial energy production, oxidative stress, neurotransmitter balance, detoxification, and gut microbial balance.

Clinically, the OAT is used to uncover hidden imbalances associated with chronic symptoms, such as fatigue, digestive issues, mood disturbances, or detoxification strain. It can highlight nutritional deficiencies (e.g. B-vitamins), mitochondrial dysfunction, microbial dysbiosis or overgrowth (fungal, bacterial, yeast), and toxin burdens. In practice, the test helps practitioners tailor nutritional, detoxification, and microbial support strategies based on individual biochemical patterns, rather than relying solely on generic supplement-based protocols.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that play a vital role in supporting overall health. The two most important types, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are linked to heart health, brain function, eye health, joint mobility, and even healthy aging. Research continues to confirm that maintaining optimal levels of omega-3s can lower inflammation, protect against chronic disease, and promote long-term wellness across multiple systems of the body.

Despite their importance, most people do not get enough omega-3s from diet alone, since the richest sources — fatty fish such as salmon, sardines, and mackerel — are not commonly eaten in large amounts. That’s why testing omega-3 levels in the blood is so valuable. It allows us to determine whether you are within the optimal range (around 8% of total fatty acids) and helps guide personalized nutrition and supplementation strategies. By testing and addressing deficiencies, we can ensure your body has the support it needs for energy, resilience, and lifelong health.

The Prenatal DHA Test measures the amount of DHA in the blood. Studies show 5% is the level women should shoot for during pregnancy. Once you know your Prenatal DHA level, you can personalize your diet to safely change your level in as little as two to three months. The goal is to reach a Prenatal DHA level of 5% or higher.
 
Eating fish, taking an omega-3 supplement, or a little bit of both can get you to 5%. You can eat two servings of low-mercury, high-DHA fish per week, like salmon, anchovies, herring and mackerel. If you can’t stomach those kinds of fish, an omega-3 or DHA prenatal supplement or a general fish oil supplement can raise your blood level. Make sure the supplement has at least 200 mg of DHA per serving, but it’s good to aim for getting both EPA and DHA if possible. Many people end up taking a supplement and adding a little fish to their diet as tolerated.
 
DHA (or docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid found in fish, fish oil, and prenatal supplements that is an important nutrient for a healthy pregnancy. The Prenatal DHA Test, which is a measure of DHA in blood, lets you know if you are getting enough of this key nutrient for both you and your baby.

For you, DHA is important because studies have shown that women with higher DHA blood levels are less likely to have early preterm birth. For your baby, DHA is important for brain, eye and immune system development.

The Mother’s Milk DHA Test measures the amount of omega-3 DHA in breast milk. Studies show breast milk is the best way to deliver DHA to your growing baby.

Omega-3 DHA is an important component of a baby’s developing brain and it is present in breast milk. DHA levels in breast milk, like blood, go up and down mainly based on how much you eat. We recommend Mother’s Milk DHA levels of at least 0.32% to meet the needs of the infant’s growing brain.

2-4 Weeks after Giving Birth:
DHA levels change naturally in breast milk, especially in the first few days after delivery (called “colostrum”) to the later stages (“mature milk”). We are aiming to measure the proportion of DHA in mature milk.
 
First Feeding Session of the Day:
As all new mothers know, the term “day” should be used loosely. Aim to collect a sample during the “first” feeding of the day, before you eat breakfast or take a supplement. The same timing goes for pumped milk.
 
Anytime during the Feed:
Because we are measuring a percent of fat instead of a total amount of fat, the Mother’s Milk DHA level is not affected by the changes in fat content.
