Breakdown of the Metabolic Wellness Profile: Summary
In the breakdown of the metabolic wellness profile, Dr. Gonshor, a Ph.D. physiologist and scientific advisor for Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN), discusses key insights into the Metabolic Wellness Panel, commonly used to assess digestion, liver detoxification, and oxidative stress. He explains how these markers—Indican, total bile acids, and 8-OHdG—provide a high-level portrait of an individual’s metabolic health.
The panel first examines protein digestion efficiency through urinary indican levels, elevating concerns if significant quantities are detected due to poor digestion or dysbiosis. Second, it assesses liver function by measuring bile acids, highlighting the liver’s capacity to detoxify harmful substances through its two-phase process. Finally, it measures oxidative stress using 8-OHdG to evaluate cumulative cellular damage from free radicals.
Together, these tests offer comprehensive insight into the body’s overall metabolic state, guiding practitioners in diagnostics and further testing as needed.
