Micronutrient Testing - Test, Don't Guess Approach For Personalized And Targeted Supplementation.

On today’s podcast I have Nicole Herms, a chemist and technical researcher for SpectraCell Laboratories. SpectraCell Laboratories has a "test, don’t guess" motto when it comes to supplementing your micronutrients. Their Micronutrient test looks inside your cells and identifies deficiencies for 35 vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and metabolites.  Micronutrients are the metabolic workhorses in our bodies that drive every chemical reaction in every cell. The Micronutrient Test reveals exactly what you are deficient in and allows doctors to develop a personalized supplementation regimen versus blindly supplementing someone. Correlating micronutrient deficiencies not only slows aging and degenerative disease progression, it can also prevent as well as repair cellular dysfunction, and by extension, disease.

Nichole Herms is an avid proponent of functional nutritional testing since she began working at SpectraCell Laboratories in 2004.  In the years since, she has developed training materials for practitioners who wish to integrate functional nutritional diagnostics into their practice, with special emphasis on the role of micronutrient deficiencies in various diseases.  With a bachelor’s degree in chemistry and a masters in business, she understands both the scientific and practical aspects of lab testing in today’s shifting paradigm of healthcare.
