Micronutrient Testing

Women face daily challenges managing today’s busy lifestyle which often includes juggling work and family. The resulting stress and fatigue can deplete our bodies of the very nutrients we need to remain strong and healthy.

THE TEST

Spectracell Micronutrient Testing assesses our vitamin, mineral and antioxidant deficiencies on the cellular level. This unique testing provides you with individualized results to determine what nutrients your body needs to reduce your risk of chronic disease and live a healthier life.

THE RESULTS AND CONSULTATION

We offer the unique opportunity to review your results with Dr. Suzanne Soliman who has a Phd in Pharmacology and specializes in evaluating your results in conjunction with your medical, surgical, prescription, over the counter medicines and supplements. In your consultation, she will review your test results and discuss the significance and interpretation behind each result. She provides an assessment related to normal lab values, a recommendation for individualized nutritional supplements (if needed) and printed handouts of results and educational material.

An integrated approach to healthcare has been shown to be most effective in improving patient outcomes. Patients will have the opportunity to meet with Dr. Soliman, who will work with Dr. Parnes to conduct a thorough history including but not limited to: past medical history, surgical and immunization history. The Doctors will conduct a medication history including prescription, over-the-counter and natural medicines. The Doctor will also counsel the patient (if appropriate) on nonpharmacological management. The Doctor will review the lab results of the Spectracell nutrient testing with the patient and discuss the significance and interpretation behind each result. She will provide information related to normal lab values and goals for the patient. An assessment will be given based upon the patient’s individual bloodwork and a recommendation for their nutritional supplements (if needed) will be made. Patient education and printed handout materials will be provided.
