Naturopathic Doctors (ND) understand that many factors can interfere with maintaining a healthy mind, body, and spirit. In addition to a thorough holistic examination, NDs can utilize a variety of diagnostic tests. These tests can be completed in the office and include:

 

• Hair analysis

• IgG, IgA and IgM blood testing

• Stool and urine analysis

• Salivary testing for hormones

• Tongue and pulse diagnosis

• Physical examination

 

Results from these tests can aid NDs in the identification of ailments such as:

 

• Heavy metal toxicity

• Intestinal health including digestion, absorption, and infections (including parasite, fungal or bacterial)

• Hormone levels including cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, or DHEA

• Vitamin D level

• Food intolerances

 

Sample analysis is carried out by Rocky Mountain Analytical and  Doctors Data. For more information on the tests these laboratories offer, please visit their websites.
