Labs and Wellness
DNA/Epigenetic testing: We use Cell Well Being, a center for Quantum interpretation of your genetic expression. Our non invasive, in office test requires a few hair roots, and are then tested using a scanner, linked to a large computer bank in Germany. We receive results within 30 minutes. The Epigenetic test reveals how our DNA responds to our lifestyle, dietary and environmental experience. From that information, we can offer your insight into how to optimize your health. Testing is repeated in 3-4 months, allowing the body to respond, and fine tune your health. Our cost is $224 for two tests, reports and interpretations.
​
Lab Tests for health: We use Direct Labs for you to receive standard tests at reduced prices. Insurance can not be used, but that is why the cost is low. You will need to consult with the doctor to determine the best tests for you. Saliva testing for hormone balance is available, in addition to testosterone, cortisol and cell analysis for vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and many others. Vitamin D3 testing is done by a blood spot test, about $79. Best to do this in Autumn, since you will not produce more Vitamin D until late Spring, and diminishing D3 can lower your immune response to infections!
​
Hair Analysis for Metals: ARL labs has extensive experience interpreting hair samples for evidence of heavy metal exposure and mineral imbalance that can lead to illness and poor health. This is an inexpensive test, about $114, and can guide your diet and lifestyle health decisions.
​
Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA): Dr. Parks uses a hospital grade (meaning accurate) device to help you with fat loss and improved muscle mass. All weight loss programs are designed to help you lose weight, but far more important is losing fat and maintaining or improving muscle mass. Muscle help us keep the fat from returning, as it is the most metabolically active tissue. Testing is non invasive and is usually coupled with lab testing to make sure your program is effective at maximizing your efforts. Tests are repeated every 2 weeks, to make sure your progress is steady and successful. The initial test is $60, but subsequent tests depend on your chosen program.
