This profile was designed to provide competitive male and female soccer players with the ability to evalutate the three, key physiological variables affecting their training, performance and recovery--quickly, accurately and inexpensively at home. 

This package features the following cornerstone assessments:  

• Vitamin D - A healthy Vitamin D level is critical for building and maintaining muscular strength and power. It controls physical reaction time, agility, balance and the body's ability to recover from training (and life) stress. When optimized, vitamin D will enhance an athlete's overall strength, resilience and athletic ability.

• Essential Fatty Acids - No cell, tissue, gland or organ can work properly without Essential Fatty Acids. High EFA levels contribute to optimum athletic performance. They reduce inflammation, increase stamina, improve hormonal health, shorten recovery time, protect the joints, elevate the mood, improve concentration and promote deeper sleep.
   
• Bone/Mineral Status - An elevated NTx level indicates a mineral imbalance and accelerated bone turnover, both of which result in a dramatically-increased risk for stress fractures, chronic muscle tension and poor energy production.

Optional assessments to consider (offered at a discounted rate):

• Iron/Ferritin - Iron is critical for athletic performance as it carries the oxygen contained in the red blood cells from the lungs to the muscles. It also plays a key role as an enzymatic catalyst in many other energy related functions in the body. While very low iron results in the reduction of red blood cells (known as anemia), an athlete does not have to be anemic to be suffering from problems related to low iron. While the assessment of red cell count, hemoglobin, hematocrit and serum iron are needed to diagnose anemia, it is important to acknowledge that these are not sensitive indicators to assess deficiencies in iron stores. The iron-binding protein, ferritin, is a much more reliable marker of functional iron stores. $45

• Advanced Metabolic Typing - Because every athlete is a genetically-unique individual, each has very specific nutritional needs.  As a result, every athlete's need for food and nutrients will differ, sometimes dramatically. This online survey will provide you with a blue print of your body's specific, metabolic needs which will allow you to fine tune your diet for optimal energy production, utilization and performance.  $95.00

Why doesn't your doctor know about or perform these assessments? Because he or she has been trained to diagnose and treat DISEASE. These assessments, on the other hand, are a tool that will help you measure and maximize your body's true potential for HEALTH.
