LABORATORY TESTING: AN INNOVATIVE APPROACH
Have you ever felt sick enough to be examined by your doctor, have blood tests done, and x-rays taken, only for to have your doctor report back that, "All your tests are normal"? Yet both you and your doctor know you are sick?
Unfortunately this experience is all too common. Most physicians just order the same familiar lab test and x-rays. The usual tests may not look for deep enough for the etiology of your symptoms .
The usual tests do not look for the causes of illness. The test offered through Nourishing Wellness Medical Center offer detailed lipid analysis, nutritional deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, food allergies and neurotransmitter levels and more.
Dr. Peters uses these cutting edge diagnostic tests to help his patients prevent illness, and discover the cause for many chronic and difficult to treat conditions. Some testing can be done through conventional laboratories, and others only through specialty laboratories.
Dr. Peters will guide you through the best assessment to help you prevent and reverse disease. Some test can be performed at home. Others may require you to go to a local laboratory to draw the blood. In all cases Dr. Peters can order and coordinate all initial and follow up testing.
You will receive copies of all your test results and be guided through their interpretation and implications for treatment through follow up consultations with Dr. Peters
