Functional Lab Testing
by
Donald Shrump, FDN
When diet, exercise, and lifestyle modifications don’t work, it’s time to dig deeper!
NJ Shore Fit now offers an assortment of functional lab tests to assist you in getting to the root cause(s) of your health and fitness challenges.
Lab tests are processed by BioHealth Diagnostics, Trace Minerals, and Signet Labs.
Each kit may be completed from the privacy of your own home.
What can Functional Lab Testing do for you?
✓ Identify fat loss obstacles like low testosterone and estrogen, as well as fatigued adrenals
✓ Find out whether or not your insomnia may be due to low melatonin and high nighttime cortisol
✓ See on paper the state of your immune and digestive systems
✓ Identify any gut bugs like H Pylori, candida albicans, Giardia, Blastocystis Hominis, and more
✓ Stop treating symptoms and get to the root cause(s) of your health and fitness challenges
✓ Learn once and for all why normal medical test scores are NOT good enough
Functional Laboratory Testing Kits
Test Kit 101: Metabolic Assessment Profile
Sample: Urine
The Metabolic Assessment Profile measures the levels of indican, lipid peroxides, and urinary bile acid sulfates (UBAS). It involves the analysis of two urine samples easily collected by the patient at home. This profile provides an index of general digestive metabolism by assessing protein digestion, oxidative damage caused by free radical activity, and bile acid sulfates, a direct measurement of liver function. Kit includes 2 vials for urine collection. More Info…
Test Kit 205: Functional Adrenal Stress Profile
Sample: Saliva
This test kit measures the state of the hormonal system, specifically the health of the adrenal glands. Markers include cortisol (morning, noon, afternoon, nighttime), DHEA-S, estradiol, estriol, progesterone, testosterone, and melatonin. Kit includes 4 vials for saliva collection. More info…
Test Kit 304: Intestinal Barrier Screen
Sample: Saliva
My favorite test. Measures the ecology of the digestive system. Great for identifying leaky gut syndrome and gut permeability. Markers include secretory IgA (immunity), anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, antibodies to dietary proteins (cow’s milk, egg, corn, soy, wheat), and yeast. More Info…
Test Kit 401H: GI Pathogens w/H. Pylori
Sample: Stool
This stool analysis determines the presence of ova and parasites such as protozoa, flatworms, or roundworms; immunoglobulin G (IgG) to Cryptosporidium parvum , Entamoeba histolytica , and Giardia lamblia antigens in stool; bacteria, fungi (including yeasts), and occult blood; and Clostridium difficile colitis toxins A and B. Five stool samples and one smear are taken over a four-day period, providing a highly reliable comprehensive analysis of intestinal microflora. More Info…
LEAP MRT 150 Food Sensitivity Screen
Sample: Blood
This kit tests for 150 foods, chemicals, and additives common in our diet. Food sensitivities are very difficult to identify. In most cases, symptoms do not appear until 48-72 hours after consuming the reactive food. Find out which foods are turning on your immune system, causing inflammation in your gut, and taxing your adrenal glands. More Info…
TRACE ELEMENTS Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis
Sample: Hair
Hair tissue mineral analysis offers you a blue print of the biochemistry in your body and its functions. Hair analysis is the most reliable method to measure the mineral and trace element levels and balance in the human body and to test for the presence of the greatest range of toxic materials. It is painless, quick and accurate. Since hair grows slowly, the test results are substantially more meaningful than examinations of blood or urine, that may show merely the conditions of that day that the sample is collected. A hair tissue mineral analysis reveals a unique metabolic world; intracellular activity; which cannot be seen through many other tests.
The causes of many problems as ADHD, insomnia, allergies, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, concentration deficit, pain, anxiety, depression, weight gain, weight loss, arthritis and other illnesses are often not uncovered by common medical tests. Many conditions can be explained only when the presence of toxic materials as mercury, lead, arsenic can be demonstrated. More Info…

FRENCH FRIED ARTERIES!
1 MEDIUM ORDER OF FRENCH FRIES IMPAIRS YOUR ENDOTHELIAL CELLS
BY DONALD SHRUMP
NJ Shore Fit Personal Training
In 1999, scientists in New Zealand conducted a rather interesting experiment to test how instantaneously harmful used frying oil is the cells of your arteries known as endothelial cells and the results were amazing.
The Set Up
The Scientists pre-screened extremely healthy individuals with healthy arteries, then using some instruments and a blood pressure cuff they measured the amount of dilation the arteries would normally open after circulation is cut off by the blood pressure cuff. Then they fed subjects French Fries, waited 4 hours, and repeated the blood pressure cuff cutting off circulation and measured the dilation after. The results were an average dilation of 7% in the normal reading and get this 0.8% dilation in the post-French Fry meal. This suggests that ONE MEAL with oxidized fats impairs the function of your arterial cells.
Remember most Heart Attack victims report to have had fried food right before or hours before the attack. Now we have definitive scientific evidence of the damage caused by oxidative fats.
What exactly is going on here?
The experiment is deliberately blocking arterial flow with a blood pressure cuff. Since the endothelial cells downstream of the cuff are starved of oxygen our body would normally know to release nitric oxide to dilate the artery allowing more blood flow and more oxygen. When people eat just ONE MEAL rich in oxidized vegetable oil like French Fries, Granola (yes granola 50% calories from vegetable oil), crackers, soy milk, breakfast cereal, breads, etc. the oxidized, burnt, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) form free radicals. The free radicals damage every part of that food and when you eat that food the free radicals damage every part of your body including your endothelial cells that can lead to inflammation, atherosclerosis, and heart disease. So cooking with vegetable oil, margarine, canola, soy, sunflower, cottonseed oil, corn oil, grapeseed oil, safflower oil is literally frying your arteries.
**ATTENTION MEN**
Male sexual function (Mr. Winky) depends on endothelial cells to dilation for obvious tissue expansion. If you have trouble in this department than you likely have endothelial dysfunction, which means change your diet! No more fried anything, no more vegetable oil in anything, and no more Mr. Winky problems.
What can we all do
Stay away from fats and oils that oxidize, go rancid, or burn at low temperatures. Canola, soy, vegetable oil begin to breakdown when exposed to the air at room temperature, let alone cooking.
If you are cooking on your skillet, grill, or in your oven above 350 degrees F you have to use butter, coconut oil, or animal fats because they don’t oxidize until higher temperatures. Here is a helpful comparison, when water becomes steam is like oil becoming rancid. So fats and oils that are solid at room temperature like butter, coconut oil, and animal fats take higher temperatures to liquify and even higher temperatures to burn off as vapor.
