Functional Urine & Saliva

Healthy Cooking_edited.jpg

At our holistic health center, we believe in the power of personalized care. One of the innovative methods we employ to guide nutrition and correct bodily functions is the tracking of urine and saliva. This approach provides a comprehensive picture of your internal health, allowing our team of functional health practitioners, naturopaths, nutritionists, and other specialists to tailor a nutrition plan that meets your specific needs.

​

By analyzing urine and saliva, we can identify key biomarkers that reveal imbalances and deficiencies in the body. These fluids offer a wealth of information about your hydration status, pH levels, metabolic functions, and the presence of toxins or other substances that may be impacting your health. For instance, certain pH levels in your saliva can indicate how well your digestive system is working, while specific markers in your urine can point to issues with kidney function or nutrient absorption. This data enables our experts to recommend dietary adjustments, supplements, and lifestyle changes that promote optimal health.

​

Moreover, the benefits of such personalized nutritional guidance extend beyond physical health. Proper nutrition is intrinsically linked to mental well-being. When your body receives the right nutrients in the correct amounts, it can improve brain function, stabilize mood, and reduce symptoms of mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. Our holistic approach ensures that as your body guides us through ongoing monitoring, your care plan evolves to support both your mental and physical health. By tracking your progress through our convenient journaling and messaging system, we make real-time adjustments to your care, ensuring that you achieve the best possible outcomes.

Parts Analyzed & Why

Sugar

Analysis of urine sugar levels, or glycosuria, is an essential biomarker that can reveal much about your body's metabolic processes and guide personalized healthcare interventions.

Functional health practitioners and naturopaths at our center often begin by examining urine sugar levels to understand how your body is processing glucose. Elevated urine sugar can be an indicator of insulin resistance or diabetes, pointing to the need for a closer look at your dietary habits and metabolic health. Our nutritionists work closely with you to design a diet plan that stabilizes blood sugar levels, incorporating whole foods that support metabolic balance and overall vitality.

Sugar is the use of oxygen in your body and it's contrubuting factor in repairing.

Salt

Urine salt levels can reveal crucial information about your body's hydration status, kidney function, and overall electrolyte balance. High salt levels in urine may indicate dehydration, signaling the need for increased water intake. Conversely, low salt levels could point to overhydration or potential kidney issues. With the integration of various health disciplines, our team can interpret these signs holistically, identifying root causes and offering personalized interventions.Salt is the nerve conductivity in your body and can often show why emotions run high.

pH Levels of Urine & Saliva

One of the pivotal tools we utilize to guide our approach is the analysis of urine and saliva pH levels. These simple yet informative tests offer a window into your body's internal environment, enabling our diverse team of practitioners to tailor their strategies specifically to your needs.

Urine and saliva pH levels are indicators of your body's acid-base balance, which is crucial for maintaining optimal health. A balanced pH level supports various bodily functions, including enzyme activity, nutrient absorption, and the immune response. For instance, a consistently acidic pH can signal an overburdened system, often due to poor diet, stress, or underlying health conditions. Conversely, an overly alkaline pH might indicate issues such as a mineral imbalance or a diet too rich in certain foods.

Albumin

Urine albumin is a form of protein that, when present in your urine, can indicate kidney damage or other health concerns. Normally, healthy kidneys should not allow albumin to pass into the urine in significant amounts. Elevated levels of urine albumin can be an early sign of kidney disease, which is often a complication of conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. By monitoring urine albumin, we can detect potential issues early and implement preventive measures or treatments that can help preserve kidney function and overall health.

Ureas

Urine ureas, specifically, refer to the presence of urea in the urine, which is a waste product formed in the liver from the breakdown of proteins and is excreted by the kidneys. Monitoring the levels of urea in the urine can offer crucial insights into various aspects of an individual’s health, guiding personalized care strategies.

Functional health practitioners and naturopaths often utilize urine urea levels to assess kidney function and overall metabolic health. Elevated urea levels might indicate that the kidneys are not filtering waste efficiently, pointing to potential issues such as dehydration, high protein intake, or kidney dysfunction. Conversely, low urea levels might suggest malnutrition or liver problems. By understanding these levels, practitioners can tailor dietary and hydration recommendations, ensuring that the body receives the necessary nutrients and support to maintain optimal function.

I didn't know how quickly my body could respond to nutritional adjustment. Once my body was in the right range I could keep it on track and my complaints faded away. These were physical and emotional struggles I have had for some time. I had done many things prior but the answers given here made sense. It was well worth my time I took to go through getting everything in the functional range. It is the best money I've spent. I will continue to keep track of my levels here & treat myself to PEMF & light sessions to be proactive with my health
