ACTION STEPS: 1. Choose a heavy metal test from: Rupa Health Lab Shop (US Only) Metals Hair Test by Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly Great Plains Labs) Metals Urine Test by Mosaic Diagnostics (formerly Great Plains Labs) Heavy Metals by Vibrant Wellness True Health Labs (US/Canada) Heavy Metal Hair Analysis by Doctor’s Data Comprehensive Urine Elements by Genova Important Notes -Heavy metal urine testing may require provocation before sample is taken to help bind metals for better excretion. This is typically done with EDTA such as Quicksilver’s...

There are several ways to test for mycotoxins both in the body and in your environment. It all depends on your budget and current health status.  To confirm the presence of mold mycotoxins in the body, the MycoTox urine test by Great Plains Labs is currently one of the best options. However, if a person’s elimination pathways are compromised (ex. cannot sweat), the results may not truly reflect the actual body burden since the body can’t properly eliminate mycotoxins in urine (so they won’t show up in the test!). If a person’s budget is tight, it might...

The gold standard test for determining food sensitivities (which is an IgG reaction, not an allergic IgE reaction), is to perform an elimination diet & food re-introduction challenge. See the attached handout to learn more about the difference between food allergies/sensitivities ( and intolerances). In a study done on children with chronic constipation, removing the reactive foods improved their symptoms. From experience, the same applies to adults and is worth the trial. The most common offenders to remove from one’s diet 100% for a minimum of 30 days are:  ...

ACTION STEPS:  1. Test your magnesium level. Please watch the above video for the exact markers to request and the optimal ranges to be aiming for. 2. If magnesium is low, please watch the following videos on magnesium in the Mineral Balance course to help correct a deficiency or insufficiency: Risk Factors for Magnesium Deficiency Correcting Magnesium Deficiency If you need additional help, please ask in our private B Better community forum.

ACTION STEPS:  1. Test your iron level. Please watch the above video for the exact markers to request and the optimal ranges to be aiming for. 2. If iron is low, please watch the following videos on iron in the Mineral Balance course to help correct a deficiency or insufficiency: Risk Factors for Iron Deficiency Correcting Iron Deficiency If you need additional help, please ask in our private B Better community forum.

ACTIONS STEPS: 1. Watch the video above to learn about the common signs of hypochlorhydria (low stomach acid). 2. Perform the baking soda stomach acid test (explained at the 3-minute mark). The fillable handout with tracking sheet is attached. 3. If you have not ordered the GI Map functional stool test (which includes H Pylori), consider ordering an H. Pylori-only stool test or the full GI Map by Diagnostic Solutions in the previous video. Order an H. Pylori-only Functional Stool Test by Diagnostic Solutions: H. Pylori only (USA) H. Pylori only (Canada) ...

ACTION STEPS: 1. Although functional testing is costly, a comprehensive look at hormone metabolites in urine sampling using the DUTCH test (Complete or Plus) can be a worthy investment since it can provide an overview of all sex hormones, including cortisol, the cortisol rhythm, melatonin and some organic acid markers of key nutrients such as vitamin B6 needed for the conversion from serotonin to melatonin. Resources attached: Sample reports & collection instructions for DUTCH Plus (male and female reports) Sample reports & collection instructions for DUTCH Complete...

ACTION STEPS: 1. Watch the video above to learn about the saliva and urine tests available that can provide information about how much cortisol the adrenals produce, as well as the cortisol pattern throughout the day. Too much or too little cortisol can affect thyroid function, and impact motility.

ACTION STEPS: 1. Wath the video above for an explanation on the usefulness of a functional stool test by Diagnostic Solutions called the GI Map. The GI Map sample test report is attached for your reference. 2. If budget allows, order a GI MAP Test: GI MAP (USA) GI MAP (Canada) Worldwide: Email support@bbettermembership.com 3. Certain white blood cell markers found in a basic CBC panel (Complete Blood Count) with differentials such as the eosinophils, monocytes, and basophils, can provide clues about whether or not there are parasites. If Monocytes,...
