Advanced Testing & Diagnostics

Seca Body Composition Analysis

What does it mean if you’re making efforts in diet and exercise, but not seeing a change on the scale? You may be making significant progress under the surface. Measuring weight and body mass index (BMI) only provides superficial insights to internal composition. ViveWell offers the Seca Body Composition Analyzer (BCA), a premium instrument with algorithms proven to yield accurate results that closely parallel whole body MRI insights. Body composition analysis uses small electrical impulses (bioimpedance) to accurately measure levels of fat, muscle mass and important internal ratios to provide detailed feedback for informed decisions. Now you can track the progress of your health investment and be confident you’re getting the results you want!

Hormone Analysis

Hormone imbalances cause a wide range of symptoms and often contribute to many of the illnesses that plague our society. Whether it’s for longevity optimization, maintaining a healthy weight, improving emotion, treating hot flashes, gaining cardiovascular benefits or other reasons — hormone health is key to optimizing mental and physical vitality. We regularly look at estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, and the thyroid.

CardioIQ Analysis

ViveWell is a proud partner of the Cleveland HeartLab

CardioIQ is an advanced collection of leading-edge cardiovascular and metabolic testing to help identify early heart and vascular disease, diabetes and other conditions that traditional testing may initially miss. Early diagnosis provides an opportunity to make meaningful changes to prevent disease instead of reacting to it once it’s already causing damage. CardioIQ patients receive 6 months of registered dietician counseling and numerous support resources — all included with the purchase of the CardioIQ labs. This analysis includes options for:

• Advanced Lipid Panel with Inflammation
• Advanced Metabolic Risk with Early Diabetes Scoring

Comprehensive Analysis for Functional Nutritional Deficiencies and Insufficiencies

Feeling tired, foggy or just “not right”? You may have underlying oxidative stress and inflammation. But which vitamins should you take? This insightful test evaluates numerous biomarkers involved in cellular metabolism. Results assess the functional performance of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, essential fatty acids, amino acids, digestive support components and other nutrients, empowering patients to select highly personalized health strategies for optimal vitality.

Heavy Metal Analysis, Micronutrient and Antioxidant Level Testing

There is extensive epidemiologic evidence that metal pollutants are associated with cardiovascular disease. Metals catalyze the chemistry in patients with diabetes to produce some mediators of diabetic complications. Metals increase oxidative stress, promote inflammation, interfere with calcium signaling, affect endothelial function, increase blood pressure, induce renal dysfunction and induce epigenetic changes. Lead and cadmium are linked to cardiovascular mortality in the US population. People unknowingly accumulate many metals from air, food, water, smoking, dust, soil and lifestyle products. Only a portion of these metals remain in the blood, but screening can uncover slow release, continued exposure and the potential for clinical benefits from chelation therapy.

Environmental and Food Allergy Immune Testing

Available as a standalone test or at a discounted rate when combined with the Food Sensitivity Digestive Test.

Are you experiencing allergy or sensitivity symptoms? Allergies are a specific type of immune response that trigger the body’s defenses to something that is usually harmless. Allergic reactions are misguided immune responses to non-pathogens that do not cause a reaction in most people. Allergies can cause a range of symptoms, sneezing, itching, congestion, skin rash, gastrointestinal distress and — in extreme cases — anaphylaxis. ViveWell is proud to offer state-of-the-art environmental and food allergy testing that measures total IgE antibodies to over 295 allergens using nanotechnology. This is way more testing than your doctor typically offers. Results assist in curating diet and lifestyle guidance to reduce and eliminate symptoms related to adverse allergen reactions.

Food Sensitivity Digestive Immune Testing

Available as a standalone test or at a discounted rate when combined with the Environmental and Food Allergy Test.

What’s the difference between an allergy and sensitivity? They’re different types of responses — an allergy is immune while a sensitivity is a digestive response not related to a food allergy. Food sensitivity is where the digestive system has a difficult time breaking down certain types of food, leading to discomfort, like anxiety, fatigue, gas, diarrhea and other unpleasant symptoms. Using nanotechnology, ViveWell offers testing of a vast array of IgG antibodies for 286 food antigens. Results help curate diet and lifestyle guidance to reduce and eliminate symptoms related to adverse food reactions.

Intestinal Microbiome Analysis

This analysis offers valuable insight into digestive function. Grouped biomarkers are scored in 5 key areas relating to GI function: maldigestion, inflammation, dysbiosis, metabolite imbalance and infection. Often this test is done in parallel with allergen and tolerance testing as well as micronutrient testing to help discern valuable steps in treating intestinal symptoms, immune problems, metabolic dysfunction, mental health and many other conditions.

Urine Mold Toxin Test

Mold toxins are implicated in many lingering chronic fatigue patients, and recently in long-COVID cases. Urine mold toxin screening is an excellent way to determine if this is contributing to your illness.
