Advanced Nutrition Testing
Deeper Insight. More Personalized Nutrition Guidance.
At Healthy Eating 4U, advanced nutrition testing is offered as an optional second level of care for clients who need deeper insight into their health. These services are designed for individuals who have persistent symptoms, plateaued progress, or want a more personalized approach beyond standard nutrition counseling.
All testing is paired with professional interpretation and individualized nutrition recommendations — never results alone.
Is Advanced Nutrition Testing Right for You?
Advanced testing may be helpful if you:
- Feel like you’re “doing everything right” but not seeing results
- Have ongoing digestive issues, inflammation, or food reactions
- Experience fatigue, stress intolerance, or hormonal symptoms
- Are navigating perimenopause or menopause
- Have unexplained weight changes or plateaus
- Want nutrition recommendations tailored to your unique biology
Testing is not required for most clients and is recommended only when appropriate.
Our Advanced Testing Options
Hormone & Stress Testing (DUTCH)
The DUTCH test (Dried Urine Test for Comprehensive Hormones) provides a detailed look at:
- Cortisol and stress patterns
- Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, testosterone)
- Hormone metabolism pathways
This testing can be helpful for:
- Perimenopause & menopause symptoms
- Chronic stress or fatigue
- Sleep disturbances
- Stubborn weight changes
Results are used to guide nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement strategies tailored to your hormone patterns.
Food Sensitivity Testing (MRT)
Mediator Release Testing (MRT) identifies foods that may trigger inflammatory responses, which can contribute to symptoms such as:
- Bloating, gas, or digestive discomfort
- Headaches or migraines
- Joint pain or stiffness
- Skin issues
- Fatigue or brain fog
MRT results are used to create a personalized elimination and reintroduction plan, focusing on symptom relief while maintaining adequate nutrition and variety.
Nutrigenomics (Genetic-Based Nutrition) 3×4
Nutrigenomic testing explores how your genetics may influence:
- Carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism
- Inflammation and oxidative stress
- Detoxification pathways
- Nutrient needs and sensitivities
This information helps refine nutrition, lifestyle, and supplement recommendations for:
- Weight management
- Cardiometabolic health
- Long-term wellness planning
Genetic testing does not determine destiny — it provides insight to guide smarter, more personalized choices.
Micronutrient Panels
When appropriate, micronutrient testing can help identify potential vitamin and mineral deficiencies that may be contributing to fatigue, poor recovery, or stalled progress. This information is used to support more personalized nutrition and supplementation recommendations.
