Bio Flow Mapping

45 minute consultation. Includes post-consultation diagnostic analysis and presentation of key findings. $200.

Bio Flow is an indepth diagnostic tool which paints a picture of your current state of health and which organs and body systems are working, which aren't

As soon as the body’s natural ability to regulate itself in a healthy balanced state is compromised, sickness is likely to result. Bio Flow  maps exactly where your body is working successfully to self-regulate, or not. Using the combined analytical forces of commonly used lab tests and tools, the Bio Flow Map delivers a holistic diagnosis to pinpoint root causes. Treatments include a personally tailored protocol of natural supplements to target imbalance and restore vitality and health.

At the forefront of preventative health care, this scientific process examines your urine and saliva for specific information that can reveal problems in your body’s ability to regulate its electrical, molecular, cellular and organ systems. These systems are primary determinants of your overall health or lack of health.

What information will the tests provide?

Essentially, these test provide information about your body’s flow systems. Your body consists of gross and subtle flow systems that carry information and energy to support all the necessary tasks your body needs to perform during the day. 
The tests reveal information about the consistency or thickness of your blood and lymphatic systems. They also identify your food and nutrient digestive abilities including how well your cells "breath" nutrients in and out.
The system also reveals information about your body’s electrical system, and its abilities to power your organs and organ systems – in effect answering the question: Are your light switches turned on or off? The tests show how well your body alternates between the states of waking, creative movement and sleep – revealing its abilities to restore rest and wellbeing.
The test also identifies the amount of ‘free radicals’ in your body. Free radicals are known to affect the rate at which your body ages.

After the test we'll discuss key findings and the implications for your current and continued state of health and well-being. We recommend a course of follow-up action including a treatment plan for supplement intake and any additional therapy, which may include a combination of enzymes, minerals, amino acids, or vitamins, along with food recommendations.

Additional background information about your body’s flow systems can be found by visiting the Biomedix website at http://www.biomedx.com/flow
