How well does your body transport oxygen from your lungs to your muscles? Does it digest proteins and utilize carbohydrates as effectively as it should? Has your athletic performance started to decline? Do you frequently feel fatigued or have difficulty recovering from physical or mental stress?
Posing any one of these questions to your doctor might get you a standard, serum chemistry profile as a general screen to rule out disease. And while insights from this type of laboratory testing can be helpful, they don’t provide any direct or relevant information about the basic, physiological processes that drive your potential for health.
At Core 4 Nutrition, determining the connection between your biological well-being and your functional performance capacity is our specialty. Through the use of a series of unique assessments—all performed at home with a simple finger stick, saliva, or urine sample—it’s possible to identify and restore your body’s most essential nutrient needs.
I have been asked a number of times, “What’s so special about the Core 4 assessments? Can’t I just do a few extra tests the next time I go to my doctor?”
