  Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) test results
 

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), Adrenal Stress Index Saliva Testing (ASI) and Gastrointestinal GI Health Panels (GIHP) are effective tools for developing an individualized health program. Together they assess adrenal stress, hormone levels, gut immunity, blood sugar metabolism, protein metabolism, thyroid function, tissue mineral levels, metal toxicity, gallbladder function and gastrointestinal function and health. At the Optimal Health Center, we have found that whether you want to monitor the progress of your colon cleanse program for detoxification, combat a chronic illness, or overcome hormonal imbalances and/or digestive disorders, these unique and accurate assessment tools provide you with a foundation to address your bodily needs with clinical accuracy. The HTMA and ASI and/or GIHP work best in concert and when performed continuously every three months.


Metabolic Typing provides health-conscious people with a simple and effective means of keeping the body's essential regulatory systems in balance. There are many thousands of biochemical reactions that take place on a daily basis within the life-supporting processes of metabolism. But these occur neither independently nor without the direction of fundamental homeostatic controls. It is these homeostatic controls that keep the body in optimal health.

Through Metabolic Typing you will learn that no single drug, diet, or cleansing program works for everybody. Unlike so many other health recommendations that exist in our complex world, the Optimal Health Center encourages you to understand your Metabolic Type and choose lifestyle habits that are best for you as an individual, confirmed by your own feelings and knowledge of yourself. Through knowing your Metabolic Type and the tools of Metabolic Typing, you will be your own guide to optimal health.

All of our tests can be purchased online, with downloadable instructions or are available by appointment at the Optimal Health Center in Madison, Wisconsin. Contact us to make an appointment or just ask questions. We have many years of experience and have worked with thousands of clients.

Testing - Adrenal Stress Index Saliva Test (ASI)

Make Appointment    Price: $139.00    Request More Info

NOTE: Due to NY State regulations we cannot provide this test to persons residing in the state of New York.

The Adrenal Stress Index (ASI) is a panel of 6 tests analyzed from 4 saliva samples you submit:

  • Cortisol is measured from all 4 samples to evaluate stress response and adrenal function
  • Insulin is measured from 2 samples to investigate blood sugar control and assess potential or real insulin resistance
  • DHEA is measured as a marker of adrenal gland ability and stress adaptation
  • Secretory IgA is measured to evaluate the toll of cortisol on immunity
  • 17-OH Progesterone is measured to determine adrenal reserve
  • Gluten Antibodies are measured to identify grain intolerance and stressor severity

When your Adrenal Stress Index Saliva Test order is received, our lab is notified and ships you a sample collection kit with instructions. Follow the directions inside of the test kit and submit your samples via the United States Post Office, Express Mail, back to the lab. You may use another overnight service but USPS is the most affordable and is reliable. Once we receive your results from the lab, we will mail them to you. This process usually takes 7-10 days.

When you receive your test results, contact us to make an appointment for your 30 minute consultation to interpret your test results. If you need a longer consultation, additional time is charged at $1.40/minute.

An Adrenal Stress Index is best used in conjunction with a HTMA. The reason for this is that optimal mineral levels are needed to correct adrenal gland imbalances. Additionally, heavy metals interfere with the body's ability to rebalance hormones and rebalance gut immunity. The results of both tests give a more complete picture of what is needed to improve your health.

The Gastrointestinal (GI) Health Panel includes 15 conjoint parameter analyses tests covering the following:

  • Stool culture for yeast and bacteria such as Blastocystis hominis
  • Immunoassays for Giardia antigen, Cryptosporidium antigen and Clostridium difficile toxin
  • Microscopic Ova and Parasite wet mounts, general stain and special stain
  • Antibody IgA for Ameba histolytica
  • Antibody IgG for Heliobacter pylori
  • Fecal pH test
  • Anti-Gliadin antibody test for Gluten Intolerance
  • Digestion related screens for enzyme levels and immunochemical markers such as Chymotrypsin

The fee for the Gastrointestinal Health Panel includes 30 minute consultation to establish a healing protocol possibly using diet, supplement, colon cleansing, herbs and lifestyle changes. When you receive your test results, contact us to make an appointment for your 30 minute consultation to interpret your test results. If you need a longer consultation, additional time is charged at $1.40/minute.

Testing - Metabolic Typing - Advanced

Make Appointment    Price: $115.00    Request More Info

Metabolic Typing uncovers the patterns of the genetically-based strengths and weaknesses that make each of us, on a physiological and biochemical level, as unique as our fingerprints.

Taking a Metabolic Typing Test determines the balance and efficiency of your:

  • Autonomic Nervous System, the master regulator of metabolism and how it’s two sides, the Sympathetic and the Parasympathetic, are working together
  • Oxidative System to determine the rate at which nutrients are converted to energy

Within each of these Control Systems, there are 3 possible Metabolic Type categories:

  • Autonomic Nervous System
    • Sympathetic Type
    • Balanced Type
    • Parasympathetic Type
  • Oxidative System
    • Slow Oxidizer Type
    • Mixed Oxidizer Type
    • Fast Oxidizer Type

Therefore, there are 9 possible Metabolic Type combinations involving the pairing of the Autonomic and the Oxidative Systems:

  • Sympathetic Fast
  • Sympathetic Mixed
  • Sympathetic Slow
  • Balanced Fast
  • Balanced Mixed
  • Balanced Slow
  • Parasympathetic Fast
  • Parasympathetic Mixed
  • Parasympathetic Slow

The Advanced Metabolic Typing Diet Program will help you fine tune your diet so that you eat foods that are ideal for your particular metabolism, in the correct ratios of macronutrients: proteins, fats and carbohydrates. You will discover the “fuel mixture” that works best for you. Remember that cells are like tiny “engines of metabolism,” and food is the fuel that each cell runs on. When the right foods are eaten in the correct proportions of macronutrients, that food is converted into energy, and not stored as fat, toxins or offered as food for unhealthy microorganisms like Candida albicans.

THE GOAL FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH IS TO BURN THE MAJORITY OF YOUR FOOD INTAKE FOR ENERGY. Eating according to your Metabolic Type will allow you to more fully burn your food for energy, thus for health and longevity.

The Advanced Metabolic Typing Diet Program includes:

  • An easy-to-complete online computer analyzed questionnaire
  • 45 minutes of consultation by phone or in person with Kristina Amelong, Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor
  • A custom diet and supplement plan based on your Metabolic Type
  • Guidance to establish an individualized cleansing program using colon cleansing, coffee implants, castor oil packs, gallbladder and liver cleansing, lymphatic drainage and more

When we receive your Advanced Metabolic Typing order, we will email you a link to the test and instructions on how to complete and submit the test online. Once we receive the results, we will email them to you. When you receive the results, read them over. Then contact us to make an appointment for your consultation in person or on the phone.
