24.01.2022 Mental health disorders have a profound impact on the lives of millions of Australians and their families. Almost half of all Australians are currently living with, or have suffered from, conditions such as depression, generalised anxiety, phobias and other mood and behavioural disorders. Most current statistics show that antidepressants are the most prescribed mental health related medication in Australia, accounting for over 70% of all mental health prescriptions.

24.01.2022 Did you know that many people are walking around with functional deficiencies of B-Group Vitamins. Whilst naturally occurring in food, B-Group Vitamins make up 8 of the 13 essential vitamins needed for many cellular function such as: red blood cell production, brain function, energy production, DNA/RNA synthesis and repair, genomic and non-genomic methylation just to name a few. Why are B Vitamins so important? Each B vitamin performs unique and important functions and bec...ause the B-group vitamins are needed to help the body to use the energy-yielding nutrients (such as carbohydrates, fat and protein) for fuel, a lack of these delicate water soluble nutrients can lead to a lack of cellular energy in the body. For optimal health and well-being it is recommended to assess these levels. Have your B-Vitamin levels checked under the guidance of your Healthcare Practitioner with our B-Vitamin Profile 5031: http://ow.ly/q7xb50BU3sL #nutripathpathology #healthiswealth #vitaminb #integrativemedicine #cellularenergy #energy #vitaminhealth

24.01.2022 Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that is required for the production of serotonin, as well as melatonin and kynurenine. Tryptophan is often found in protein based foods such as seeds, nuts, fruits, dairy and meats. Studies have shown that low levels of tryptophan are observed in individuals on the Autism Spectrum and those consuming low protein diets. Poor memory, impaired cognition, emotional processing and depressed mood have all been associated with tryptophan depleti...on. Tryptophan has also shown to improved sleep quality and morning alertness through regulating the production of serotonin and melatonin. As tryptophan is a precursor to numerous neurologically active compounds, it may be playing an important role in the status of your memory, cognition, and emotional wellbeing. The Amino Acid 24 hour urine profile (5004) will analyse tryptophan levels along with many other amino acids. Speak with your healthcare professional today to discuss the best testing options for you. Kauzna-Czaplinska J, et al.

24.01.2022 Heavy metal toxicity is primarily associated with consistent exposure to pollutants and the use of chemicals in everyday life. An increasing number of Australians are affected by heavy metal toxicity, resulting in a range of conditions from fatigue, mood swings, decreased cognitive function, insomnia, muscle twitching and tremors. High mercury levels in rain, sea- water and soil can lead to contaminated meat, fish and vegetables. Mercury can become a highly toxic heavy metal ...when it has accumulated in the brain and body. While heavy metal toxicity is more commonly linked to conditions such as Alzheimers and Parkinsons, even exposure to low levels of mercury have shown to affect attention, fine motor skills and memory. Nutripath offers urine Mercury testing to measure the level of Mercury in the body.

23.01.2022 Iodine is a trace mineral found in our bodies that helps regulate and produce thyroid hormones Thyroxine (T4) & Triiodothyronine (T3) which affect our body's metabolic rate, heart, muscles, digestive function, brain development, and bone maintenance. According to the American Thyroid Association, Iodine Deficiency is the most common cause of Hypothyroidism worldwide. Have your Iodine status tested under the guidance of your healthcare practitioner with our Iodine Loading t...est code 5015. We first measure iodine levels in the morning with a spot urine collection. After this point, a small amount of Iodine is consumed and urine is collected over 24 hours showing how much Iodine is excreted in a 24 hour period.

20.01.2022 Did you know, we've expanded our IgG food allergy testing and can now test up to 208 different foods including super-foods. Food sensitivities can cause a wide range of symptoms and disorders and are often hard to diagnose due to the timeframe between consumption and the physical reaction. This can mean that many people live with minor and major symptoms unaware of the source or cause. IgG (immunoglobulin G) testing is a useful guide for practitioners in detecting the foods causing this response. The results are patient specific and provide an easy, precise and effective starting point for dietary manipulation. See below for our product page showcasing our IgG Super Food Panel Test Code 3221: http://ow.ly/kuFJ50AW6fS

19.01.2022 Each person has two adrenal glands located on top of their kidneys. These glands are important to the body’s endocrine (hormonal) system and are responsible for producing the stress hormone Cortisol.

16.01.2022 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a collective group of gastrointestinal conditions that are becoming ever more common, with Australia having one of the highest prevalence in the world. More than 80,000 Australians live with these conditions, with numbers expected to increase to more than 100,000 by 2022. The Calprotectin test ( Test Code 2001) is a biomarker that NutriPATH offers to detect inflammation in the intestines. Intestinal inflammation can be associated with bacte...rial infections and in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Testing for Calprotectin may be used to distinguish between IBD and non-inflammatory disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and to monitor IBD disease activity. Faecal testing for Calprotectin is a useful screening tool that can be ordered as a single marker or in alliance with a Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis (Test Code 2003).

16.01.2022 It is becoming more clear how the gut and digestive health can impact all other bodily systems. "All disease begins in the gut" a quote attributed to the Greek physician Hippocrates nearly 2500 years ago. Although all diseases do not, it is now clear that many chronic metabolic diseases do. SIBO stands for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. SIBO is a condition where bacteria overgrows in the small intestine an area that should only have a minimal amount. Patients with SI...BO often have symptoms such as bloating, vomiting, nausea, malnutrition & malabsorption among other symptoms.

14.01.2022 Tired but wired? Cortisol is a multi-purpose hormone made in the adrenal glands. When it's excessively elevated, it can cause some unwanted symptoms. Some of the most common sensations that people with high cortisol levels report, is a sensation of being tired but wired, a lack of stamina, irregular sleep patterns and sexual dysfunction. You may feel exhausted, but your nervous system is revved up. This is most often seen in the evening, after a particularly stressful da...y or day of physical exertion. Our Cortisol Awakening Response Test ( Code 1012) examines 6 saliva samples over a 12-hour period with collection times of: immediately upon rising, 30 minutes upon waking, 60 minutes upon waking, 8am, 12pm, 4pm, and 9pm. Salivary cortisol testing is considered to be the most accurate and powerful non-invasive salivary hormone test and serves as a critical tool in uncovering biochemical imbalances.

11.01.2022 Pathological anxiety is a debilitating condition for many Australians. While anxiety can be a normal response to stressful events, pathological anxiety is often associated with excessive or deficient levels of certain neurotransmitters. Gamma-aminobutyric Acid (GABA) is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter that counterbalances Glutamate, the main excitatory neurotransmitter. Both GABA and Glutamate work together to maintain a healthy stress response. Many studies have inves...tigated how an imbalance between these two neurotransmitters may play a significant role in aetiology of anxiety disorders.

11.01.2022 Did you know, Cardiovascular disease (CVD) was the underlying cause of death in 41,800 deaths in 2018 (26% of all deaths) according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). Fortunately, over the past thirty years significant progress has been made in the areas of diagnosis, prevention and treatment of CVD. At present, the most advanced strategy for coronary risk assessment is therefore to combine the information of several risk factors such as low HDL cholest...erol. This multi-marker approach can help evaluate a patient's risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) by identifying those individuals with a moderate baseline risk who might benefit from targeted risk reduction strategies.

10.01.2022 Candida is a normal constituent of our gut flora which is kept in check by our immune system and competition of other microorganisms such as beneficial bacteria in our microbiome. Being immunocompromised, stressed, antibiotic use, and diets high in carbohydrates among other things can cause these Candida colonies to become rampant which can contribute to fungal infections of the skin, mouth, and of the genitalia. Consult with your healthcare practitioner today to have your an...tibodies to Candida tested (IGG, IGA & IGM) which when elevated may signal an overgrowth of Candida.

07.01.2022 Serotonin is a molecule that acts most notably as a neurotransmitter, however it has a many other roles in the central and peripheral nervous system. Serotonin has been associated with regulating mood and sleep, as well as supporting healthy digestion and appetite. The ‘serotonin hypothesis’ for depression proposes that depleted serotonin pathways may present as an increased risk for depression. Low mood, irritability, sleep disturbances and anxiety may also be associated w...ith low serotonin levels. Research in the efficacy of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRI’s) in managing depression has formed the main body of evidence for serotonins role in depression. While the causes of depression are almost never reduced down to one single factor, serotonins function may play a pivotal role in your mental health status.

06.01.2022 Essential fatty acids such as Omega 3 & 6 are a vital type of fatty acids that our bodies cannot produce and must be consumed through diet. Omega 3’s can be found in fatty fish such as salmon, seeds such as chia & flax, nuts & avocados. Adequate levels of particularly Omega 3 within the body may have a protective effect against heart disease and inflammation in the body among other positive benefits. One important factor of fatty acid consumption is the ratio of Omega 6 to ...3 as scientists believe omega 6’s are pro-inflammatory and omega 3’s are anti-inflammatory.* Anthropological research has shown that humans evolved consuming a ratio of 1:1 where today the ratio is closer to 16:1** with our diets typically containing more refined vegetable oils and processed foods.

06.01.2022 The human body is inhabited by millions of tiny living organisms, which, all together, are called the human microbiota. Bacteria are microbes found on the skin, in the nose, mouth, and especially in the gut. Staphylococci or staph bacteria commonly live on the skin and in the nose, generally causing no harm. In counterpart, Multiple Antibiotic Resistant Coagulase Negative Staph (MARCoNS) resides in the deep nasal passages surviving in biofilms and creating exotoxins. These... biofilms make it especially difficult to treat as they form a barrier to immune defences and anti-infection therapy. MARCoNS although slow growing, can be a large effect on one’s health leading to Auto-Immune Conditions, Chronic Fatigue, Hormone Imbalance, Mould Infections and more.
