Why is Ixcela Useful

Why Is Ixcela Testing Useful?
We understand that patients can only focus on one or two habit changes at a time. The question is: What do we need to focus on first to create the greatest impact on their health and symptoms? Is it something that they need to eat (or not eat)? Or is it that they need to prioritize restorative practices and sleep? Or do they need to move more and get sunshine?

Ixcela metabolite testing helps to inform which interventional techniques should be prioritized.

  • Do we need to address intestinal permeability or dysbiosis?
    Associated metabolites: IPA, ILA, IAA
  • Do we need to focus on getting key nutrients into their diets?
    Associated metabolites: TYR, TRP, SER, KYN, IDS, UA
  • Do we need to focus on reducing stress and inflammation?
    Associated metabolites: UA, XAN, 3MX, KYN, IDS

Having this data will allow your team to confidently recommend what your patients should focus on first to improve their health.
