Modern science provides useful tools for individualized evaluation of whole body metabolic balance
Striving To Understand Your Individual Medical Needs
People are different. We have different biological attributes, predispositions, strengths and physical limitations
MEDICAL ASSESSMENT
Engaging in an appropriate exercise, nutritional and stress management program requires a prior health assessment that will identify areas needing medical attention and guidance
NUTRITIONAL ASSESSMENT
Our nutritional habits, even if established early in life and appear natural to us, frequently include aspects that are not consistent with a healthy life-style. Food composition, combinations of foods and/or nutrients, timing of food ingestion, food choices at specific time points of the day, may [...]
PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT
Physical performance analysis and determination of organ functional capacities and reserves is a critical dimension for the design of successful exercise intervention programs. For exercise to function as a beneficial biological stressor it is required that the thresholds for induction of adaptive responses and the safe [...]
PSYCHO-SOCIAL ASSESSMENT
Life-style changes require personal schedule modifications and a suitable living environment. The latter may require community-based measures, if appropriate facilities are not readily available. Alternatively, people would need to make relevant changes in their own micro-environment. Accordingly, community-related, work-related, psychological, time and financial constraints may compromise [...]
METABOLIC ASSESSMENT

Relative potency of metabolic pathways largely dictates the fate of food consumed by an individual. Metabolic assessments produce personalized data on important aspects of energy and nutrient handling. Indeed, small [...]
