Nutritional medicine and changes in diet can provide great results, and baseline testing can help direct those therapies to provide an even better outcome. Custom Medicine offers a variety of non-invasive tests to evaluate everything from food allergies to imbalances in amino acid, or hormone production which are vital to a maintaining a healthy body.

• Amino Acids
• Food sensitivities and allergies
• Hair Analysis to measure mineral deficiency or excess within the body
  

Saliva testing is a very reliable way to measure free, “bioavailable” hormone activity—hormones actually doing their job at the cellular level. Saliva collection is easy and can be done in the convenience of your own home with results sent directly to a Custom Medicine pharmacist to be evaluated and discussed with your physician. This test provides a rational baseline of current hormone activity when developing a bio-identical hormone replacement therapy plan for individual men and women.

Available hormone testing:

• Estradiol (E2)
• Estriol (E3)
• Progesterone (Pg)
• Testosterone (T)
• DHEA
• Cortisol (Adrenal Function)
  

Neurotransmitters are naturally occurring chemicals within the brain that relay signals between the nerve cells and are required for proper brain and body function. Emerging technology and evaluation systems now allow us to see which of these chemicals are working at optimal levels, and even more importantly, which ones are not. By testing how well certain neurotransmitters function, it is possible to better match therapies to the patient’s chemical imbalance.

Neurotransmitter testing may be appropriate for patients with:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Hyperactivity
• Compulsive Behaviors
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• Mood Disorders
• Problems Concentrating
• Problems Over-eating
• Sleep problems
