Live Blood Cell Analysis
Live Blood Analysis allows you to get a snapshot of your health from one drop of blood from the finger prick. Our trained nutritionist, Aleks Morgan CNP, is able to get a better understanding of your nutritional needs through the findings of this non-invasive procedure. Live Blood Analysis does not replace the regular bloodwork you doctor would recommend, but it complements it. Some of the important information that can be obtained through this procedure includes: The initial 45-minute appointment consists of:- Intake interview to discuss any health concerns and symptoms
- Current lifestyle, eating habits, sleep patterns, exercise, and energy levels
- Then we begin the Live Blood Cell process, informed by the details provided in the intake interview to provide the full picture.
- Real-time blood analysis to identify any root causes of your health concerns
- A nutritional consultation to help get you back on track with an individualized supplement program and dietary recommendations.
What might we learn from a Live Blood Cell Analysis? - Are you digesting and absorbing your food and nutrients well?
- How is the integrity of your gut lining? e.g., no “leaky gut”
- Are your iron and B12 levels optimal?

- Is your liver congested and does it need support?
- Are there any signs of yeast, parasites or bacteria that could be causing digestive issues and fatigue?

Food Intolerance Testing
While food allergies are easily identified – you eat something you are allergic to and have a reaction shortly after - food intolerances are often overlooked aspects of our health and diet. Because Food intolerances can have a delayed or progressive onset of symptoms, they can be harder to pinpoint. Food intolerance reactions typically involve IgG antibodies, which cause a variety of milder and slower-onset, but still uncomfortable, symptoms, like: - Chronic digestive issues
- irritable bowel syndrome - diarrhea - bloating - Skin problems: rashes, eczema
- Mood imbalances: depression and anxiety
- Difficulty focusing, mental fog
- Inflammation, swelling, and joint pain
- Immune system stress
- Headaches and migraines
- Weight control issues
- Chronic Fatigue
Food Intolerance Testing is an easy way to identify foods you are sensitive to and give your body a chance to rebalance and heal itself. You will receive a detailed report of: - Foods you are sensitive to
- how to interpret your test results
- Advice to monitor and adjust your diet
- Advice to observe and monitor symptoms
