About the Nutritional Intelligence Assessment ProgramTM

YOU ARE UNIQUE IN MANY WAYS

We are all uniquely different human beings. Our fingerprints and voiceprints are unique. We may look similar on the outside, but each of us has a percentage of our DNA that is uniquely our own. We all have different talents and a special purpose in life and each of us has slightly different biochemical makeup. Our favorite desserts can be someone else’s poison and vice versa. One size fits all does not fit any one person, especially in the field of nutrition.

 If our nutrient intake does not match our specific daily needs our thoughts and feelings can be affected. Prolonged imbalance can affect our health and well being. Not enough B-6 or B-12 in a 24-hour period can make some individuals feeling depressed. Others can be eating the perfect diet for their system but not have the ability to absorb the needed nutrients. (We are what we absorb!) An overload of heavy metals in our system can leave us fatigued, with fuzzy thinking or lack of concentration and memory.

Nutritional requirements vary from person to person, and most of us have either deficiencies or overloads of certain nutrients based on our genetic structure. Some of us are born with systems that thrive on an animal protein diet, others are best nurtured with a vegetarian diet, still others can eat almost anything. Some of us have too much calcium, niacinamide, copper or folic acid. Others need extra zinc, calcium or vitamin C. These personal requirements can have an enormous effect on one's functioning since nutrients are the raw materials for all of the structures and functions within your body. The appropriate nutrients and the correct amount is vital in determining your degree of health and wellness.

Our scientists, doctors and nutritionists have studied thousands of case histories to determine the most critical biochemical functions that can affect your mental, emotional, energetic and physical performance. Neurotransmitters production, heavy metal regulation and oxidative stress, nutrient absorption, and glucose control were chosen as key systems to evaluate for inherent imbalances. These systems, when out of balance, can create specific symptoms and lead to a lack of health and wellness. With the proper formula supplement your body can regain it’s balance and optimize how it functions. Basically, you can feel, think and perform better.

THE ASSESSMENT

Our scientists, doctors and nutritionists  have studied over 40,000 case histories to determine the connection between the inner biochemical imbalance and the outer expression through symptoms or traits. Our questionnaire was designed to determine if your symptoms and traits are connected to specific underlying biochemical imbalances. If you do express a significant cluster of these traits and they match those found in our data bases we can predictably determine the underlying biochemical cause. The family doctor of not too long ago used these same techniques before modern doctors became dependant on blood tests. We are able to use the best techniques of both worlds to determine your nutritional profile. Our data base contain over 2.5 million factors on over 20,000 subjects including over 100 blood, urine and tissue analysis on each subject. If your test results fall out side of our standards our nutritional counselors will contact you.


WHAT YOU RECEIVE WHEN YOU PURCHASE THE NUTRITIONAL PROFILE

Your answers to the following questions can enable us to create a unique Individualized Nutritional Profile based on your test results. This personalized nutritional profile is available for $24.95 and is free when ordering your individualized Signature Supplements™  Program. It will identify your nutritional type, supply you with your individualized supplements, and provide the following information for you if you order the full nutrient program. Here is what we can provide you with:

• The results of your test showing which systems are out of balance; (free for taking the test)
• A specific list of supportive foods and a list of foods to avoid, matched to your profile;
• Individualized ratio of carbohydrate and protein needs; 
• Follow-up diet, recipes, and food information tailored to your nutritional type;
• Participation in our ongoing retesting research project; and
• A unique 240 capsule supply of your Signature Supplements™ multi-vitamin, mineral & amino acid formula that is matched to your bio-chemistry containing the following nutrients:

(NOTE: Your specific formula may not include all of these listed nutrients.)


WHAT WE TEST

The following metabolic functions are tested through our individualized nutritional assessment program and your results lay the foundation for the exact nutrients and amount that best serves your biochemical needs.

Neurotransmitters
The brain is a factory that produces systems, dopamine, histamine, endorphins and many other key chemicals that impact personality and mental health. Histamine levels need to be very specific for optimal functioning of neurotransmitter production. Too high or too low can create different affects. For example, many high histamine persons tend to perfectionism, headaches and low serotonin levels. On the other hand, low histamine persons have a tendency for anxiety, high activity and elevated dopamine levels. The physical and personality traits of persons with these are quite distinctive. Your answers to this assessment can reveal the nutrient combination to address this important biochemical factor.

Metal Metabolism (Oxidative Stress)
Another very important biochemical factor is metal-metabolism, which has a great effect on our temperament and ability to handle stress. The body has a complex system for controlling the levels of copper, zinc, manganese, lithium, calcium, magnesium and dozens of other metallic elements in the body. Many of these metals are concentrated in the hippocampus of the brain, which has an important role in stress control. Persons with imbalances of metals may be prone to irritability or anger during periods of stress. They may exhibit a quick temper or a strong emotional reaction to change or stress or annoyances. These biochemical states are also known as oxidative stress.

Nutrient Absorption
The body and all its functions depend on nutrients from food for proper functioning. However, not everyone has an efficient system for absorbing, metabolizing and utilizing carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and amino acids from food. In many cases, this problem of mal-absorption may be related to incomplete stomach digestion or inefficient transport of nutrients across the brush-border of the intestines. These people have a special need for nutrients that promote the digestion and processing of foods. Some individuals may have constant cravings for food others will experience cravings even when they feel full. Either way the body is seeking more food in order to fulfill it’s need for certain nutrients that are not being absorbed.

Glucose Control
The brain requires an enormous amount of energy to function properly. Similarly, muscles have a large requirement for energy to carry out our daily activities. The primary energy fuel for the body is a simple sugar, called glucose, that is delivered to the brain, muscles, etc. The body has an intricate system for controlling blood glucose levels which involves a measured release of insulin from the pancreas when blood glucose becomes elevated. In addition, the liver manufactures additional glucose if blood sugar levels are low. This glucose-control system works beautifully for some persons and poorly for others. Many have a special need for certain nutrients that promote this control process. Lack of a balanced glucose control can cause sudden drop in energy during the day, over all fatigue, and even mood swings.

WHAT WE DON'T TEST FOR
Our testing has shown that blood typing A+, B+ etc does not match with a particular nutritional profile due to the intermingling of different back grounds which is so common in America. Our parent's genes had 6 billion options to make us as we are today. Our research shows no correlation with blood typing when different nationalities marry.

We measure your critical systems and discover what they need to function well. Almost every other nutritional assessment test takes generalized scientific findings and applies them to you. For example, several studies show a majority of women need more calcium to prevent osteoporosis. Other nutritional testing or customizing companies may automatically add an extra amount of calcium for all women customers (above the RDA set by the government). Our research says you need to first determine if your body needs more - then build a formula around your needs, not from the generalized assumed needs. Check before you buy a custom made or designer vitamin - it may have the latest generalized research but it may not fit your needs.
