Your Wellness Coach will make determinations on your health and ongoing wellness through their coaching sessions and questionnaires. There may be different tests that your medical doctor can do to help get some questions answered as well. Others are not available through medical facilities and we are proud to be able to provide assistance in this area.
We highly recommend our Gene Smart lab kit which offers the only Omega-3 blood test that lets you check your Omega-3 Index and your Omega-6 to Omega-3 Ratio in the convenience of your home. This test, was recently featured in The Wall Street Journal along with the highly respected TV show, The Doctors. The information from this lab kit can tell a lot about your state of health by looking at your Omega ratios while providing information about specific biomarkers of silent inflammation. These details give an important value to your coach in their risk assessment of you in order to help with the best possible approach to pursue your target health zone. Knowing
your silent inflammation score will be a key part in helping influence and measure progress towards a healthy lifestyle.
We do see the SIP (Silent Inflammation Profile) test as the “gold standard” of all lab work in determining your best approach to making gains in health areas and is more accurate at forecasting heart disease than cholesterol screening. Mend-A-Body is able to offer them at a very affordable price AND they are done by a simple prick method, much like a diabetic sugar reading. You then mail in your samples and the results are mailed directly to you! This is highly recommended if you are faced with current health issues, illnesses or symptoms OR if you are concerned because of genetics, age or lifestyle that some potential risks are on their way. This scientific testing has proven that individuals that are able to achieve high levels of Omega-3 are able to reduce their risk for sudden cardiac fatality by almost 90%!
