Patient Stories

Here are a sample of cases of where patients were helped by our testing.

As you will read, their problems would typically never be uncovered by standard exams and testing.

These examples show the power of testing your metabolites to get a deeper look at potential health problems:

Finding an Amino Acid Deficiency

With this metabolic screening, they found I had a really bad L-Carnitine deficiency. This is typically a genetic condition.

Note: L-Carnitine is an amino acid that your body produces that helps in energy production, converting fat into energy.

I was advised to take an L-Carnitine supplement daily.

I've had chronic leukemia and in the past when I needed chemo, my hemoglobin fell and I always needed blood transfusions.  But after taking L-Carnitine daily, I noticed that my hemoglobin level remained strong so I wouldn't need blood transfusions!

On the Path Towards Metabolic Syndrome

I was pre-diabetic, and always struggled with my weight.

My metabolic screening showed I was on a path towards Metabolic Syndrome.

Note: Metabolic Syndrome is a group of five conditions that can lead to heart disease, diabetes, stroke and other health problems (American Heart Association definition)

I changed my diet dramatically, lost weight, and now I enjoy much better health!
