Specialized Testing
1. Miconutrient Testing
That’s because a multi will not identify and correct specific nutrient deficiencies. The only way to do that is by testing your levels.
Conditions that can improved with proper nutrition repletion (food and supplements):
- Diabetes
- Fatigue
- Mood disorders, depression, anxiety
- Weight management
- Osteoporosis
- Cardiovascular disease
- Migraines and headaches
- Hypothyroidism
- Women’s health, infertility
- Hypertention
- Fibromylagia
- Gastrointestinal health, constipation
- ADD/ADHD
- Inflammation
- Sleep apnea
the nutrient is properly functioning within your body
SpectraCell Micronutrient measures the function of selected vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other essential micronutrients within your white blood cells. The results reveal your functional nutrient status (or how nutrients are being utilized) over a long period of time. Standard blood tests only capture the levels of nutrients in the blood at a certain time. Some nutrients, like calcium or magnesium, can’t be measured through standard testing because your body has to keep their blood level in a tight range for your heart to function properly. Some nutrients, like folate or vitamin B12, have to be activated to be utilized, so a normal blood level may not indicate normal functioning level.
SpectraCell Micronutrient testing is a meaningful measurement of nutritional status. Contact me below to get information on testing.
2. Thyroid Hormone Testing
and 90% of thyroid cases are auto-immune
- Free T3 (Free Triiodothyronine)
- Free T4 (Free Thyroxine)
- Total T4 (Total Thyroxine)
- rT3 – Reverse T3 (Reverse Triiodothyronine)
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
- Anti-TG (Antibodies to Thyroglobulin)
- Anti-TPO (Antibodies to Thyroperoxidase)
- Tg (Thyroglobulin)
- TBG (Thyroid Binding Globulin)
3. Neurotransmitter and Adrenal Testing
Neurotransmitter and adrenal imbalances are implicated in several conditions including (but not limited to) depression, anxiety, irritability, sleep difficulties, cognitive function, mental focus, fatigue, weight management, headaches, digestive complaints, ADD/ADHD, cravings, addictions, and others.
I utilize Pharmsan Labs for testing. There are several panels to select from based on your symptoms and medical history. If your health problem is persistent despite a healthy diet and lifestyle, your nervous system and/or endocrine system may be playing a role. Testing to assess markers of these system is the first step to address your health problem.

Nour’s guidance and expertise was the key to dramatically halting our son’s [Crohn’s] disease progression! His pediatric gastroenterologist is now in agreement of our choice to treat solely with diet and supplements. All his labs have improved and his inflammatory markers are so low they are practically nonexistent.
Before working with Nour, I experienced intestinal pain off and on for for 54 years with minimal success on medications. I have benefited 100% from Nour’s program as I am now pain free!
A lot of time and money was wasted on foods that I thought would help my digestive struggles [diarrhea, bloating, hunger], but in fact I was making it worse. The main benefit is getting a handle on what negatively affects my digestive symptom. Doing a total 180 to my eating habits has been pretty amazing.
