Laboratory tests

In today’s contemporary lifestyle, a myriad of physiological imbalances can manifest, influenced by factors such as epigenetics, lifestyle choices, genetic predispositions, stress, and trauma. Consequently, there are circumstances when the prudent course of action is to consider and implement laboratory testing.

My specific areas of expertise encompass the intricate domains of toxicity assessment, gastrointestinal health evaluation, intolerance identification, and metabolic profiling within the body.

By harnessing the insights gleaned through precise laboratory testing, I can furnish you with a more nuanced and data-driven approach to inform lifestyle modifications. This heightened understanding of internal processes and biochemistry equips me to tailor more effective treatment strategies, thereby enhancing the prospects of success and facilitating superior outcomes on your path to optimal wellness.

Explore the Range of Laboratory Tests

Within this section, you will find detailed information about the diverse range of laboratory tests available. It’s important to be aware that laboratory tests have associated costs, which are separate from my session fees.

I have established a collaborative partnership with Nordic Laboratories, a leading provider of meticulously documented and objective laboratory tests across Europe.

My expertise encompasses a comprehensive array of analyses and assessments, notably including intolerance tests, dna tests, stool tests, and hormone tests. I encourage you to get in touch with me either via email or phone, and I will personally assist you in selecting the test that aligns best with your specific needs and objectives.

Discover Food Intolerances for Better Health

Our laboratory test, done conveniently at home with a finger-prick, reveals potential food intolerances by measuring IgG antibodies against 184 foods.

Recommended for those with digestive issues, skin problems, fatigue, and more, it helps determine if dietary adjustments are needed.

Most intolerances resolve in 3-12 months after eliminating trigger foods and addressing gut health.

The cost is 2495 DKK, plus my consultation fee, and I also focus on digestive health as IgG reactions are often tied to imbalances in the digestive system.

GI Map with Zonulin: Unveiling Digestive Insights

Are you grappling with digestive challenges? Our advanced GI Map with Zonulin stool test is meticulously designed to provide comprehensive insights into your digestive health.

This comprehensive laboratory examination delves deep into your digestive system. It starts by assessing pancreatic enzyme production and analyzing stool for elevated levels of protein and fat. These findings can shed light on potential issues like low stomach acid and bile production.

But the GI Map with Zonulin doesn’t stop there. It goes further to unveil imbalances in the colon, including the status of lactobacilli, bacteria, fungi, parasites, absorption capacity, colon inflammation, immune response, short-chain fatty acid production, pH levels, and more.

By opting for this thorough evaluation, you gain a holistic understanding of your digestive functions. The cost of this comprehensive test is 3200 DKK, in addition to my consultation fee.

Hair Element Analysis: Your Key to a Vibrant and Healthy Life

Discover the path to your optimal well-being with the Hair Element Analysis—a cutting-edge screening test designed to empower you with vital insights into your health. This simple and noninvasive procedure examines just 0.25 grams of hair, providing a comprehensive assessment of your recent exposure to potentially harmful metals and offering a detailed report on essential nutrient elements over time.

In this analysis, hair plays a unique role as an excretory tissue, offering an exceptional perspective on your health. When combined with your symptoms and other laboratory data, the results become a powerful diagnostic tool.

What truly sets hair analysis apart is its remarkable ability to uncover the concentration of toxic elements present. Hair can accumulate these elements at levels 200 to 300 times higher than those found in blood or urine. This makes hair the most suitable tissue for identifying recent exposure to elements like arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony, and mercury. Notably, the CDC recognizes hair mercury levels as a crucial marker for maternal and infant exposure to neurotoxic methylmercury, commonly found in fish.

Thanks to advances in technology, instrumentation, and scientific protocols, hair element analysis has evolved into an invaluable tool.

But the Hair Element Analysis offers more than just information—it empowers you with actionable insights. Equipped with this knowledge, you can optimize your lifestyle, make informed dietary choices, and embark on a journey to detoxify elements that may be compromising your health.

Take the reins of your health journey today by harnessing the power of the Hair Element Analysis. Make informed decisions and pave the way to a healthier, happier life.

Price: 1199 DKK for the test.
