One of the most effective dietary changes to improve cholesterol is to replace saturated fats with unsaturated fats.

Think: less butter and fatty meats, and more olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, and fatty fish. These swaps can help lower LDL cholesterol and support long-term heart health. A good first step is to read food labels for saturated fat content!

Four important areas to pay attention to for long term brain health:

1️⃣ Omega-3 status: we generally target an Omega-3 Index of 10–12%
2️⃣ Metabolic health: especially fasting insulin, hemoglobin A1c & triglycerides
3️⃣ Aerobic exercise: regularly challenge your cardiovascular system
4️⃣ Environmental exposures: identify and reduce unnecessary toxic exposures

All four of these areas can be measured or actively worked on.

At NCB, we offer convenient at-home testing to help identify where you may need to focus, so you can test, not guess.

HS-CRP is a blood marker that can help reveal inflammation happening in the body, sometimes before you realize anything is wrong.

When HS-CRP is elevated, it doesn’t tell us the exact cause, but it can be an important signal to look deeper. Higher levels may occur with infection, injury, metabolic dysfunction, or other sources of inflammation, and persistently elevated HS-CRP is also associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

The goal isn’t only to lower the number, it’s to understand why it’s elevated in the first place.

Peptides are everywhere right now. They’re short chains of amino acids that can act as biological messengers in the body. Some peptides you already know, like Insulin and GLP-1 medications. While they are exciting, think of peptides as icing on the cake - not the cake itself.

Not all supplements are created equal. Before spending your money, look for contaminant testing, peer-reviewed human research, and forms your body can actually absorb.

Remember that the right supplement and the right dose depends on the individual. Test, don’t guess.

Toxin exposure can come from more places than you might expect, including water-damaged buildings, food, water, plastics, personal-care products, pesticides, contaminated supplements, and the environment.

Symptoms like fatigue, headaches, brain fog, digestive discomfort, breathing issues, rashes, or frequent illness can have many possible causes.

Testing can help identify whether specific exposures need a closer look.

At NCB we offer at-home urine testing for:
• Mold
• Glyphosate
• Environmental chemicals
• Heavy metals
• Bacterial, yeast, and fungal overgrowth in the digestive tract

Each test measures something different, so the right choice depends on your symptoms, health history, and possible exposures.

Visit nutritionconnectionbalance.com or call our office to learn which at-home urine test may be appropriate for you and receive personalized guidance based on your results.

How do you know if you are getting the right amount of iodine?

Iodine is essential for producing thyroid hormones and supporting metabolism, energy, temperature regulation, growth, and brain function. It is also concentrated in breast tissue and may be particularly important when thyroid concerns or toxin exposure are present.

Possible signs of low iodine include fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, dry skin, hair thinning, weakness, memory difficulties, and swelling in the neck.

Food sources include seafood, baked potatoes, and dried cranberries. However, the iodine content of food can vary, making testing and precise supplementation more reliable than trying to estimate your intake.

Most people do not require a large amount of iodine, and taking too much without guidance can negatively affect thyroid function. Your optimal level may differ depending on thyroid antibodies, hypothyroidism, toxin exposure, immune concerns, and other health factors.

We recommend testing twice per year until you reach your personalized optimal level, followed by a urine test once per year.

Concerned about bone density? A DEXA scan is an important part, but not the only part, of the picture.

Several tests can help you better understand the factors that support healthy bones:

DEXA bone density scan: Measures bone mineral density and helps identify osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Omega-3 and vitamin D testing: Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, while omega-3 status may provide insight into inflammation and overall health.

Urine mineral testing: Evaluates minerals involved in bone health, including calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, and other important nutrients.

Saliva hormone testing: Measures hormones that can influence bone maintenance, especially during menopause, perimenopause, and other hormonal changes.

Nutrition Connection Balance offers omega-3 and vitamin D testing, urine mineral testing, and saliva hormone testing that you can complete from home.
Visit Nutrition Connection Balance or contact our office to learn which testing options may be appropriate for you.

Your weight can stay the same while your body changes completely.

You could be losing body fat, gaining muscle, or doing both - without seeing a dramatic difference on the scale.

A DexaFit DEXA scan gives you a detailed look at:
• Body-fat percentage
• Lean muscle mass
• Visceral fat
• Bone mass and density
• Fat and muscle distribution throughout your body

This can help you establish an accurate baseline and see how your nutrition and exercise plan is actually changing your body over time.

Visit dexafit.com/redeem-code and use code VALERIE25 for 25% off your DexaFit testing.
