There is a new paradigm in health and medicine - personalization. Health can be improved and maintained by knowing how food plays a role in your body.

The Alcat Test uncovers foods and other substances that trigger chronic inflammation and related health conditions, such as gastrointestinal, respiratory, and joint issues as well as migraine, dermatitis, fatigue, and metabolic disorders.

A small sample of your blood is sent to the laboratory overnight where it goes through a multi-step quality assurance process. Your white blood cells are tested against foods and other substances in a process using an impedance methodology based flow cytometer. This is a very accurate way to determine if your relevant immune cells react to the test substance. Your results are presented in a clear, easy-to-read, and color-coded format. You will also have the option of having a 30-minute complimentary educational session to answer any questions you have about implementing your test results.

Metabolism happens within cells. Cells need nutrients to be metabolically active. The Cellular Micronutrient Assay (CMA) is your tool to assess and address insufficiencies in micronutrients (vitamins and minerals) as well as amino acids, and other nutrients within immune cells. This is a reflection of long-term nutrient status not just a “snapshot” as is seen in serum nutrient tests.

An overload and accumulation of free radicals (from pollution, toxins, medication, radiation, etc) in the body can result in oxidative damage which plays a major role in the development of chronic and degenerative illness.

Antioxidants can help protect the cells from oxidative damage. The Redox Assay measures the overall antioxidant function of your immune cells. The Antioxidant Protection Assay (APA) identifies specific antioxidants that significantly improve your antioxidant capacity and protect your cells from oxidative damage.

A small sample of your blood is sent to the laboratory overnight where it goes through a multi-step quality assurance process. 

Easy to understand, color-coded test results show “nutrient sufficiency,” “borderline insufficiency,” and “insufficiency”. The function and dietary sources of each insufficient and borderline insufficient nutrient are described within the test results’ commentaries.

More than 50% of your patients are affected by genetic variations in the methylation pathway. Standard MTHFR genotyping only evaluates folic acid metabolism. The MethylDetox Profile makes it easy to understand the complicated methylation process by giving comprehensive insights into the functional status of the methylation pathway.

The MethylDetox Profile includes genetic markers involved in methylation and homocysteine metabolism provided in a detailed lab report with personalized commentary. Additionally, continued homocysteine testing enables easy monitoring of your progress.

Genetic variations in this pathway are associated with elevated homocysteine levels, impaired methylation processes, and limited detoxification capacity. As a result, these SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) may contribute to accelerated aging, certain chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders, impaired gene-regulation, poor drug clearance, and impaired neurotransmitter metabolism. 

Methionine and homocysteine metabolism are areas of active scientific and medical investigation. In addition to the MTHFR gene, specific SNPs in other genes also affect individual methylation capacity and homocysteine levels. 

Methionine and homocysteine balance is important for optimal health. Homocysteine is resynthesized from the amino acid methionine. In general, amino acids are supplied from a balanced diet or supplementation. However, a certain amount of methionine is recycled for methylation in the methionine/ homocysteine pathway.

Therefore, the primary purpose of methionine/ homocysteine balance is to ensure proper methylation by donating methyl groups for:
* DNA methylation (gene regulation)
* Regulation of neurotransmitters (e.g. epinephrine, norepinephrine, and serotonin)
* Detoxification of catecholamines from the environment
* Drug clearance (phase 2 liver detoxification)
* Homocysteine is also a precursor in the biosynthesis of L-cysteine for glutathione; glutathione is important for the detoxification of electrophilic compounds (metals).

Elevated serum homocysteine is a widely accepted marker for methionine/homocysteine imbalance, which is a genetically controlled process. Elevated homocysteine levels can lead to accelerated aging, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and other conditions. 

A small sample of your blood is sent to the laboratory overnight where it goes through a multi-step quality assurance process. 

Test results are provided both in the context of the methylation pathway and personalized commentary including lifestyle and supplementation considerations. Throughout treatment, homocysteine testing is recommended to monitor your outcomes.

Consider the spectrum of gluten ingestion. On one extreme, individuals with celiac disease cannot tolerate even a trace of gluten. On the opposite end, fortunate individuals can enjoy pizza, beer, pasta, and cookies without any adverse effects. In between lies a vague territory of gluten reactions, encompassing conditions like gluten sensitivity.

Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disorder where eating gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. This damage hinders the absorption of nutrients and can lead to various health issues. People with celiac disease need to follow a strict gluten-free diet to manage symptoms and promote overall well-being.

Now, consider someone in the middle of this spectrum—let's call them Alex. Alex falls into the murky territory of gluten reactions, specifically gluten sensitivity. Unlike those with celiac disease, Alex won't experience severe reactions, but consuming gluten may lead to discomfort and various symptoms. This example illustrates the diverse ways individuals interact with gluten, ranging from extreme intolerance to fortunate resilience, with Alex navigating the middle ground of gluten sensitivity. The Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array (CICA) evaluates your risk for celiac disease and Crohn's disease, serum markers associated with an active celiac disease process, and serum markers associated with active Crohn’s disease. 

It’s a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that can affect any part of the digestive tract from the mouth to the anus. The CICA really connects the dots on Celiac Disease, Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, and Crohn's Disease. It’s meticulously designed to provide an accurate evaluation of GI tract function by gathering information from various pathways. Optionally, it can be combined with the Alcat Test to evaluate innate immune cell responses to more than 500 other foods (including gluten, gliadin, casein and whey) and substances for the most comprehensive assessment.

Testing Options Option
1: Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array (CICA) Full Array- (Genetic + Serologic)  Option
2: Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array (CICA) - Genetic Only Option
3: Celiac, IBS, and Crohn’s Array (CICA) - Serologic/Antibody Only

Prevalence of GI Issues 
In the United States an estimated 60-70 million people are affected by gastrointestinal (GI) disorders.

Celiac disease may be present despite the absence of GI symptoms, particularly, in relatives of individuals with celiac disease.

• In the U.S., 2 in 5 Americans are affected by GI disorders.
• Up to 20% of adults in North America suffer from ulcerative colitis
• Up to 1% of the general population have symptoms of celiac disease
• 15% of the general population in western countries suffer from indigestion and constipation Not surprisingly, there is an overlap between these disorders.

The CICA is a comprehensive test array that analyzes genetic predisposition, detects specific antibodies, and measures potentially inflammatory cellular reactions all through one simple blood draw.  Celiac disease risk analysis is determined based on the presence or absence of the HLA-DQ genotypes. Both the DQ8 and DQ2.5 genotypes are tested in this array, with the DQ2.5 genotypes representing a much greater risk of celiac disease.

Four specific serum antibodies (DGP IgG/IgA and tTG IgG/IgA) are tested due to their high sensitivity and specificity for active celiac disease. The higher the antibody levels, the more likely untreated celiac disease is present.

Genetic markers, mutations in the ATG16L1 and NOD2 genes, associated with the Crohn’s disease are tested along with serologic markers for complete assessment.  Anti-Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Antibody (ASCA; IgG/IgA) are immune proteins that are frequently present in people who have Crohn’s disease. The presence of ASCA may also reflect increased intestinal inflammation and permeability, including an association with active Crohn’s disease.

Current research shows that telomere shortening contributes to cellular aging and susceptibility to metabolic disorders and chronic disease. According to scientific research, telomere shortening may contribute to aging and age-related conditions. Telomeres are segments of DNA found at the ends of chromosomes. They can be prematurely shortened when exposed to environmental chemicals, oxidation, inflammation, and stress. This leads to DNA damage and contributes to early cell death.

Inflammation is associated with aging and telomere shortening. Telomeres become shorter after each cell division until eventually chromosomal DNA reaches a critical point at which the cell can no longer divide (known as the Hayflick limit).22 

The loss of this protective telomere “armor” renders DNA vulnerable to damage and may result in an individual’s increased risk for accelerated aging and associated health conditions. If telomeres are maintained, then termination of cell division (senescence) and programmed cell death (apoptosis) can be delayed. The test analyzes your average telomere length in white blood cells compared to the normal reference range for your age-matched population.

Easy to understand color-coded test results compare telomere length to reference ranges of your age-matched population. Graphic version of the result allows for easier understanding and analysis.

NAD is a coenzyme found in all living cells. It plays an essential role in many cellular processes such as repairing damaged DNA to prevent cancer, getting rid of aging (senescent) cells, mitochondrial function, regulation of sleep and immune response, and reduction of inflammation and free radicals. NAD catalyzes reactions for more than 500 enzymes, including those involved in the production of cellular energy (ATP). Deficient NAD levels are linked to the loss of function and vitality as well as many age-related diseases.

Achieving optimum NAD level is your starting point to extend healthspan and improve performance. Ideally, NAD level should be measured at baseline, and more importantly after NAD supplementation. This test gives you real-time, actionable data to help you find an effective and affordable product and the correct dosage to optimize your NAD level.

Epigenetic alteration
Elevating NAD levels may increase telomere length. NAD is also essential for the functions of many proteins such as sirtuins involved in regulating gene expression

Mitochondrial dysfunction
Mitochondria generate energy in the form of ATP via the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation. NAD is the key coenzyme to produce ATP. These processes are called respiration and produce free radicals that can harm the cell. As we age our mitochondria become dysfunctional by producing less ATP and more free radicals. Increasing NAD levels generate more ATP— meaning more Mitochondrial energy production in cells, which translates to health optimizations.

Cellular senescence
Senescent cells are zombie-like cells that stopped dividing and do not function normally. Increased senescence, as observed in many diseases and old people, is harmful because senescent cells secrete large amounts of pro-inflammatory molecules and contribute to age-related diseases. Boosting NAD level can reduce senescence and inflammatory proteins.
