pH, Micronutrient & Thyroid Tests
Often times it's necessary to get additional information when evaluating a health challenge. Our pH and our blood work is like a window into our body. Below are my favorite test kits and resources that I've pulled together to help us as we work together on your health journey.
Why test your pH?
In short ... to begin to get to the root cause of disease and get questions answered that your bloodwork hasn't answered.
In scientific terms, pH stands for particles of Hydrogen. At the Institute of Naturopathic Wellness, I like to also refer to pH as Potential for Health.
Just like your cholesterol and blood pressure, your pH says a lot about the state of your health. It tells you how acidic or alkaline your tissues and fluids are—and that affects all aspects of your well-being.
How? All kinds of ways! If you are overly acidic you may feel:
- low energy
- find it difficult to lose weight
- experience poor digestion
- suffer from aches and pains
- falling victim to more serious disorders
In fact, since acid is naturally corrosive and inflammatory, it irritates the organs it comes in contact with. That’s why too much acid can contribute to the demineralization of your bones, teeth, and joints, and may have a negative impact on your urinary and gastro-intestinal tracts. One of the most important pieces of information is your pH.
