  <title>Blood Analysis, what does it mean?</title>
  <description>Today we talked with Chris Edwards, founder and owner of Tricore Wellness, about blood analysis testing.&amp;amp;nbsp; What does it all mean?? We begin our conversation with the difference between “clinical” results and “functional” results.&amp;amp;nbsp; In striving for optimal health and wellness, what lifestyle changes can we do to improve our blood test results and prevent progression of disease?&amp;amp;nbsp; We look specifically at four blood test measures: Blood Glucose, A1c, Vitamin D, and Triglycerides. Chris explains each test and explains how diet and exercise approaches can quite effectively improve blood testing results.&amp;amp;nbsp; We also discuss Alcat testing: a food sensitivity test that shows low grade inflammation that can build over time, often causing digestive distress.&amp;amp;nbsp; Chris explains that by knowing which foods we are sensitive to, we can replace them with foods that are more tolerable and reduce inflammatory responses.&amp;amp;nbsp; Lastly, we review CNA testing. CNA testing includes a micronutrient test and an antioxidant protection Assay.&amp;amp;nbsp; Micronutrient testing measure essential vitamins and nutrients we may be deficient in.&amp;amp;nbsp; Chris explains that this test is a reflection of long-term nutrient status and not just a “snapshot” as is seen in serum nutrient tests.&amp;amp;nbsp; The Antioxidant Protection Assay tells us what type of antioxidants one’s body responds to most efficiently.&amp;amp;nbsp; Chris explains what steps one can take following testing to optimize one’s health and wellness.&amp;amp;nbsp; Chris Edwards is a Fitness and Wellness Professional with over 18 years of experience specializing in personal fitness and wellness management.&amp;amp;nbsp; Chris is a graduate from Florida Gulf Coast University with a B.S. in Business Management, with a concentration in Sports Management.&amp;amp;nbsp; He holds multiple certifications and achievements in the fitness and wellness industry and is an accomplished competitive powerlifter with a 1607 lbs.
