Overview of NutriSTAT Complete Profile Test
The NutriStat Complete Profile Test is available through US Biotek in the United States and Canada, plus it is also available in Australia and NZ through Nutripath pathology.
The test offers a broad analysis of an individual’s nutritional status, including essential amino acids, metabolic function, and potential exposure to heavy metals.
Purpose and Importance
The NutriStat Complete Profile Test is designed to identify nutritional imbalances and deficiencies that may be affecting a person’s overall health.
Highlighting the importance of diet in the management of metabolic, cardiovascular, and thyroid health, this test provides practitioners with valuable data for personalized healthcare strategies.
It is also instrumental in detecting various factors that influence mitochondrial function, indicating potential areas of toxicity or nutritional stress through the Organic Acids section of the test.
Components of the NutriSTAT Complete Profile
The components of the NutriStat Complete Profile Test include an extensive range of biomarkers:
- Essential Amino Acids: Indicators of dietary protein intake.
- Metabolic/ Cardiovascular Health Markers: Reflective of heart health and metabolic processes including homocysteine, lipoproteins, apoB, and LDL subfractions.
- Hormone Health: Including a detailed analysis of testosterone, estrogen, progesterone, DHEAs plus LH & FSH
- Thyroid Function Indicators: Shed light on the thyroid’s role in regulating metabolism.
- Nutritional Markers: Including B vitamins, Vitamin D, iron levels and minerals
- Environmental Pollutants: Evaluates heavy metal levels and detoxification markers
- Organic Acids: Provides insights into cellular energy production and mitochondrial function.
Together, these components create a comprehensive assessment that contributes to a detailed understanding of one’s nutritional status and its impact on health.
Understanding Test Results
In assessing the NutriStat Complete Profile Test, patients and practitioners receive a comprehensive evaluation of nutritional status, pinpointing deficiencies and imbalances that can be addressed through diet and lifestyle changes.
I recommend getting a consultation with the results to help you fully understand what they mean and the most important action steps that you need to take.
Interpretation of Test Results
The NutriStat Complete Profile Test provides a detailed breakdown of various nutritional markers.
When we get the test results, we interpret the data to determine if the patient has specific nutrient deficiencies or imbalances. A thorough review of sex hormone health, cardiovascular health, and thyroid health helps you to be proactive in maintaining optimal health.
This interpretation requires a nuanced understanding of each marker’s optimal ranges and not just assessing the lab reference ranges. Results may indicate a lack of certain vitamins or minerals, or an excess of heavy metals in the bloodstream, which can guide dietary and treatment recommendations.
Thorough testing helps to take out the guesswork.
NutriStat Complete Test Collection Instructions
Navigating through the NutriStat Complete Profile testing process involves a few crucial steps for patients, starting from preparation to the receipt of results. The turnaround time for results is approximately 3 weeks, longer than most results but this is because the test is so detailed.
Patient Preparation and Sample Collection
Patients are provided with collection kits for sample collection, the kits come with full instructions on how to proceed with the test – this includes where to do the blood sample plus how to collect the urine sample for the Organic Acids part of the test.
To begin the process, patients must order the collection kit, this can only be done through Planet Naturopath, just go click on the link on this page to order.
Prior to collecting their sample, patients receive specific instructions to ensure accuracy. These may include dietary restrictions or ideal sampling times, such as avoiding sample collection during menstruation.
Samples are shipped back using prepaid return labels included with the kits, streamlining the process for patients. The ease of preparation and collection is part of our commitment to patient convenience.
After Test Support and Resources
Once the lab has received the blood sample and urine sample the results will be ready within 3 weeks. Once they are ready the results are sent to us at Planet Naturopath and we will share them with the client via pdf, and send a link with the option to schedule a consultation to help you understand the results.
During the one-hour consultation we will explain the results and send you a written report with the action steps that you need to take to improve your health.
Dietary Recommendations
Patients can use insights from the NutriStat Complete Profile Test to adjust their diet in a way that supports cardiovascular and metabolic health. For instance, if results indicate high LDL (low-density lipoprotein), apolipoprotein B, or triglycerides, a diet low in saturated fats and rich in monounsaturated fats—like those found in avocados and nuts—can be beneficial.
- Increase intake of iron-rich foods such as spinach or red meat if ferritin levels are low, suggesting iron deficiency. Or we can make recommendations on the optimal supplements for you.
- Incorporate a balance of omega-3 fatty acids from fish like salmon, which can positively influence HDL levels and overall lipid profile.
Lifestyle Changes and Management
Beyond diet, the NutriStat Complete Profile can prompt various lifestyle changes for better management of a patient’s health.
- Regular exercise, which is shown to improve cardiovascular health by lowering LDL and increasing HDL cholesterol, should be a consistent part of a patient’s routine.
- Stress management techniques, given their potential to impact metabolic and thyroid health, should be considered. Tools such as mindfulness, yoga, or other relaxation practices can be effective.
- Sleep quality and duration are also crucial, as inadequate sleep can affect stress levels and overall metabolic health. Patients are encouraged to aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night.
