Health Testing

Hair Analysis $150
Hair Analysis is done to test for toxins and nutritional deficiencies. We have been doing Hair Analysis for 25 years at Weise Natural Food Products Shoppe. Gill Weise Sr. feels it is the only way to get a true picture of toxic and mineral content. The test involves cutting .25 Gms of hair from the back under side of you hair at a very special place where hair is the least contaminated from external sources.  The hair is cut at the scalp and involves a golf ball size of hair. The test will give you the percent of many toxins such as, aluminum, tin, lead, mercury, bismuth, etc. and minerals such as calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium which are so very vital in our makeup. Then most importantly, there is ratio box which tells us if these items are in good ration in your body. We will call you when the test comes back so you can come in and pick up the results. You can also schedule a consultation with Gill to further discuss the test so that you understand the results and what you can do to improve your health.

Saliva Testing $120
We are dedicated to offering you the highest quality testing available for salivary hormones. Saliva which contains an enzyme, alpha amylase is the most accurate way to obtain your hormone levels. A cornerstone of bioidentical hormone therapy (BHRT) is monitoring of hormone levels in the body. Hormone levels should be checked at baseline (before treatment begins) and again after treatment has begun to make sure the theraphy is effective. Some hormones in the body are bound to proteins and are therefore inactive. Blood tests of hormone levels measure both the active and inactive hormones, and thus give an inaccurate picture because the inactive hormone cannot be used. Saliva testing measures levels of actual bioactive hormones only.
We continue to give quality information regarding your hormone levels because we average your hormones throughout the day. We furnish you with FDA approved collection tubes. Each patient should submit four saliva samples and each tube takes only 1-2 minutes to fill. The samples we recommend are to test Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone, DHEA, and Cortisol.  Cortisol levels are very necessary to show your functional adrenal evaluation.  Gill has seen that saliva testing in conjunction with your HRT regimen provides that bit of information that is so important in obtaining the proper hormone balance.

If you have had a hysterectomy for instance, your hormone levels in most cases need to be adjusted especially at a "menopause age". Progesterone provides your body with better bone density levels, and helps with water retention, weight gain and depression.  All of the hormones work in concert with each other in order to maintain a physical and mental balance.

Gill suggests that you also have a consultation (nutritional consultation details listed above) with him after receiving the test results. Do a seven day diary of everything you eat and drink. List the medications and vitamins that you are currently on.  With all of this information we can make a good determination of what your daily hormone requirements are.  So many women have enhanced their health and well being using this test.
