![]() When these markers are abnormal, we are at more risk for diabetes, celiac disease, neurologic conditions, cancers, and anything driven by inflammation. ![]() Using this test, we can see how much improvement we have made in terms of calming down inflammation driven by histamine and food sensitivities. These are markers that allow us to measure leaky gut and allergic inflammation. To learn more in-depth about our signature Progressive Food Sensitivity Testing, click here By reducing inflammation with dietary changes, we decrease weight gain and fatigue but also reduce the chances of getting many diseases and even decrease our rate of aging. Inflammation can be a silent player, as it is in heart disease, and will eventually cause different pathologies and conditions. However, we do not always feel all types of inflammation. Food sensitivities create ongoing inflammation that drives chronic symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog and pain. Why is it important? Allergies create immediate reactions such as swelling or stuffy nose. It is also much more advanced than other clinics or online services provide. This food sensitivity test is different than a conventional allergy. The Advanced Diagnostics We Run: The Gut as Our Window to Health ![]() To keep it simple for our patients, our tests are designed to be easy & non-invasive. The Gastrointestinal Tract and Immune System.In order to unravel the processes behind certain conditions we must order testing that addresses these key areas: Toxicity is the key thing that damages our DNA and potentiates possible cancers. By removing chemicals and metals we will decrease damage to the mitochondria and decrease inflammation and oxidation that cause pathology in the first place. The cleaner the system, the better able we are to achieve wellness. Toxins such as chemicals and metals are like a wrench in the workings of our body. Pathology has less of a chance to grow when nutritional status is high. A person that is nutritionally replete is a well-oiled machine. Like a car, if we are nutritionally deficient then our engine cannot go as it should. Nutrients drive thousands of metabolic reactions every minute in our body. If energy production is compromised than we feel fatigued, worn down and all normal systems in the body are weakened. If energy production is compromised than all healing is compromised. The mitochondria are the powerhouses of the cell. Much like inflammation, oxidation or reactive oxygen species, a type of free radical, damage our mitochondria as well as other parts of the body. If we can control inflammation we can control one of the major triggers that cause genetics to turn against us. Inflammation drives heart disease, neurologic conditions and even cancer. This is how we defend our bodies from the outside world. By managing stress appropriately we make the system more impervious to almost all we come in contact with. Regardless of condition, most issues will be exacerbated and even caused by stress in one’s life. ![]() Regardless of the condition, there are a handful of underlying processes that will fan the fire of pathology: That is why diagnostic testing is important. However, the processes may be silent until the pathology arrives so by measuring parameters involved in the process we can uncover the roots of illness and prevent illness in the first place. Looking at underlying processes is often called a, “systems-based approach” because it recognizes the many interconnected systems in the body and treatments are designed with consideration of this complexity. By changing the environment, the pathology will remit. Just as a seed needs soil to grow, pathology will only thrive in the right environment. That process will cause the condition to continue unless it is recognized and addressed. Not only is there an end result, also called a diagnosis, but there is also a disease process that caused that condition. Those that only focus on finding the diagnosis overlook the process that got a person there in the first place. We recognize that a lack of health is more than just a diagnosis. While most of medicine is concerned with putting a label on something or giving it a name and diagnosis, we at Progressive Medical Center work to do more than that. Advanced Diagnostics are simply a game-changer in the ability to uncover root causes. ![]()
