    "You shouldn't take any supplements unless a test reveals that your body is in need of them."
    — Dr. Wayne Pickstone

    We have many testing procedures available. Wayne will brainstorm which of these tests best suits you during your consultation. Once the ideal test has been determined specifically for your needs, it will be delivered directly to your door where it can be completed from the comfort of your own home.

    Genetic Profiling Tests

    "The body can heal itself, given the right conditions." — Hippocrates

    At Unique Health and Wellness we offer an innovative and potentially health-altering service of Genetic Profiling, also known as Nutrigenomics—the study of the interaction between genes, diet, and lifestyle choices.

    After a gene saliva test is ordered during your online consultation and completed in the comfort of your own home, an in-depth genetic profile report is sent to us. We then assess exactly what is happening with your body genetically.

    It is a common misconception that our "inherited genes" determine our fate in life. Research has shown that this is not correct. While you cannot have a gene transplant, you can absolutely alter the influence of genes on your health and wellbeing.

    The Volume Control Analogy

    The genetic code is like listening to music. We have the ability to turn down the volume control of the stereo, or we can turn it up. This volume control dictates how much of the music we hear.

    We can use Nutrition, Exercise, and Lifestyle to 'turn up' or 'turn down' the effect of our genes.

    • Turn Up: Genes for liver detoxification are 'turned on' by foods such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
    • Turn Down: Omega-3 oils in deep-sea fish reduce the response of genes that create inflammation.

    Normal vs. Optimal Ranges

    Marker
    Normal Range
    Optimal Range
    Glucose
    3.33 - 6.38
    4.05 - 4.9
    TSH (Thyroid)
    0.35 - 4.0
    0.8 - 2.3
    Insulin
    0 - 25
    3 - 5

    Example: If your Glucose is 6, TSH is 3.7, and Insulin is 12, standard tests might say you're "normal." But optimally, these suggest blood sugar challenges and sub-clinical low thyroid activity. We catch these early.

    Advanced Pathology

    Non-Invasive Blood Profiling

    The process of advanced Blood Chemistry testing is a crucial step. These extensive results reveal exactly what is happening in your body—they are the same tests ordered by your Doctor, however, our interpretation is completely different.

    Even though we look at the same numbers, we analyze them against Optimal Ranges rather than standard reference ranges. Standard ranges simply compare you to the average sick population. Optimal ranges compare you to peak health.

    With these Optimal ranges in hand, we can address possible future health concerns and introduce preventative steps before a health crisis occurs.
