Optimize Your Nutritional Health for Energy, Strength, and Mental Clarity
Assess your body’s unique nutritional needs with insights into amino acid and protein metabolism. This analysis can reveal potential deficiencies impacting energy, muscle health, and cognitive clarity, all of which are crucial during perimenopause.

Assessing Gut Health and Detox Capacity
Gut health is important for hormonal balance and overall well-being, especially in perimenopause. The OMX test looks at metabolites produced by gut bacteria and any potential toxic build-up in the body, which can affect hormone function and immune resilience. By addressing these areas, we can help improve symptoms like bloating, inflammation, and even skin issues.

Understanding Health Pathways
The test looks at organic acids and other small compounds, which act as “middlemen” in various metabolic processes, helping the body to create energy, build tissues, and maintain balance. By analyzing these pathways, we can get a picture of how efficiently your body is using nutrients and maintaining key functions.

Factors That Influence Metabolites
Your unique metabolite patterns can be influenced by many factors, including diet, nutrient levels, toxin exposure, physical activity, genetics, gut health, and even the stage of any health conditions. All of these factors affect your body’s metabolites, making this test highly specific to you.

Pinpointing Areas for Support
By combining insights from these metabolite assessments, healthcare practitioners can identify where your body might need additional support. Whether it’s improving energy metabolism, supporting detoxification, or enhancing gut health, the test helps tailor recommendations that target your specific needs.

The test result includes detailed analysis of your hormonal health markers. However, interpretations and personalized recommendations are not included.
