Gut Health

(The Human Microbiome)

This lab is used to assess the gut’s microbiome diversity and provide guidance towards a healthier lifestyle.

Digestive health and the status of the human microbiome is a key element to restoring and optimizing health. This lab is great for those dealing with digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic health issues, autoimmunity, brain fog, skin conditions, anxiety, depression, weight loss issues, diabetes and more. The health of your gut impacts the health of your entire body! This lab is used to assess the guts microbiome's diversity and provide guidance towards a healthier lifestyle.

Along with our own cells, trillions of microorganisms live in our bodies. These microorganisms — including bacteria, viruses, and fungi — make up our body’s microbiome. The inhabitants of the microbiome interact with each other and their environment to shape human physiology and pathology.

The human microbiome begins to develop before birth and evolves over time, from infancy to old age. The status of the microbiome (whether healthy, unhealthy, or somewhere in between) influences nearly all body systems by affecting:

  • Gene Expression

  • Immunity

  • Nutrient Absorption

  • Energy Metabolism

  • The integrity of the Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract

Fee: $299
This is an at-home kit provided to you by SoulFit.

Your lab will include the kit itself, a report of findings, suggestions for supplementation, suggested action items specific to your findings, and a live 45-minute consultation with SoulFit to review the results.

 

Brain Span

Body and Cell Health

Your long-term health, resilience to aging, and ability to achieve your true potential starts here.

Omega- 3 Index

Our Omega-3 Index is similar to our BrainSpan offering, but with its own twist. This lab is specific to personalizing a plan specific to our products at Standard Process. SoulFit recommends this to be used in addition to Brain Span.

Omega-3’s are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s) that play critical roles in the human body and are particularly abundant in the brain and retina of the eyes. These PUFA’s and their metabolites regulate several important body systems on a cellular level, including cardiovascular, pulmonary, immune, nervous, and endocrine systems.

As with most things in life, it’s all about balance. The body needs fatty acids found in both Omega-3 and Omega-6, but it’s crucial to have them in the proper ratio for good health. Currently, the Standard American Diet (SAD) is high in Omega-6 and low in Omega-3. This can tip a healthy body system out of balance and allow low levels of inflammation to occur. The body needs a higher ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 for supporting the resolution phase of the inflammation process.

Tissue Mineral Hair Analysis

Mineral Ratios and Heavy Metals

Trace mineral tissue analysis is a test that measures the mineral content of your hair. The mineral content of the hair reflects the mineral content of the body's tissues. If a mineral deficiency or excess exists in the hair, it usually indicates a mineral deficiency or excess within the body or bio-unavailability.

Examples: If your hair reveals an elevated calcium level two or three times normal, there will be a strong tendency for arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries due to calcium plaques). Or, if your tissue calcium is low, then a tendency exists toward osteoporosis (demineralization of the bone) which can increase the risk of bone fractures, dental caries, periodontal disease, muscle cramps, etc.

Various mineral imbalances, as revealed by hair analysis frequently lead to metabolic dysfunctions before any symptoms become manifest. This test also identifies tissue levels of toxic heavy metals like mercury and aluminum.

Other Conditions which may result or be aggravated by a mineral imbalance:

Depression

Hypoglycemia

Hyperactivity

Headaches

Hypertension

Arthritis

Hair Loss

Anemia

Thyroid Disturbance

Prostate Disorders

Digesive Disturbance

Diabetes

Musculo-Skeletal Disorders

Cardiovascular Disease

Skin Rashes

Emotional Imbalances

Allergies

Overall health dysfunction

This lab is great for anyone who is found ill and no explanation can be found or when the cause seems to be found but the therapy is not wholly effective. Hair analysis opens up a whole new vista for the solving of your own particular program by recognizing your biochemical individuality. It provides a metabolic blueprint and invaluable screening tool which allows a correct program of diet and supplementation to be designed for each individual's specific needs.
