Testing to Better Guide Your Path
SWEAT SODIUM COMPOSITION TESTING
Athletes easily forget to prioritize their hydration and electrolyte strategies. This results in race day gut bombs, sloshy stomachs, and the dreaded performance decline. Whether to use supplemental electrolytes (and how much) is not a black and white answer. Let’s learn your unique physiology to fine-tune your hydration strategies and arm you with the knowledge for how to account for sweat rate variances, environmental factors, aging, and women’s hormonal flux. We are an approved partner of the Precision Fuel & Hydration company and use their medical grade equipment to conduct this testing. This non-exercise test takes about 20-25 minutes and tells us how “salty” one liter of your sweat is. We include a hydration-focused consultation as a part of this service so you are more clear as to your specific strategies for training and competition.
Schedule your sweat test in Boulder, or arrange an onsite testing clinic for your team or group by contacting Dina.
METABOLIC TESTING
Metabolic testing provides insight into your unique physiology and is a gamechanger for:
Learning how much fat and carb your body burns to get a personalized fueling plan for your endurance training & racing
Determining what range of "high carb fueling" is right for you and how to train your gut
Getting a nutrition plan to support body composition change (fat loss, muscle gain)
Understanding your "metabolic flexibility" and ensuring you are using "the right fuel at the right time" for your exercise intensities
Resolving GI distress and gut bombs that have resulted in DNFs
Avoiding low energy availability and metabolic compensation by learning your current resting metabolic rate (RMR) and understanding how to build a nutrition plan in line with your health and exercise goals
Supporting your metabolic health and longevity (genomic testing and blood work may be recommended based on your situation)
Dina has over 12 years of metabolic testing experience, is certified in Metabolic Efficiency Training, and has tested hundreds of athletes of all abilities. Inquire for more details on how this testing can help you.
NUTRIGENOMIC TESTING
Your gene profile serves as your unique blueprint for your health. Learning your gene picture enables us to get to “root cause” if you’ve struggled with issues such as weight loss resistance, nutrient deficiencies, gut issues, injuries, chronic illness or autoimmune conditions. Dina is a partner with one of the leading testing companies, 3x4 Genetics, a service that features over 145 research-based and validated genetic markers that empowers us to better personalize your dietary pattern and lifestyle based on your gene variants (SNPs) and their impact on various cellular pathways in the body, in conjunction with health issues you are aiming to treat or improve. This service combines a nutrition assessment and an action plan for targeting root causes of health issues. Additionally, we blend in proactive strategies for food selection and preparation to better work with your unique genetic blueprint. This service embodies personalized nutrition.
