Discover the missing pieces to your ongoing health and well-being.
How do I achieve Vitality, Longevity and Healthy Ageing (VLA)?
John Catsicas is one of a small group of Healthcare Professionals who have received extensive training in Vitality, Longevity and Healthy Ageing and is thus well equipped to help you achieve your health goals. VLA is a system
that provides all the tools we need to help YOU maximize your ongoing health and well-being. It includes a
scientifically validated test known as Bio-impedance Analysis (BIA). This test interprets your results and records your progress, plus the VLA program offers a range of Naturopathic protocols and exercise to have you looking
and feeling your best.

What is Bio-impedance Analysis (BIA)?
BIA is a science that was originally developed for the use in monitoring hospital patients after surgery. It has also been used in a number of space missions to monitor astronauts' health here on earth and also in space. We simply connect leads to your hands and feet, passing a small current through your body. This is a painless and non invasive procedure which provides information on several of your body's biomarkers.

What do Biomarkers tell you about your health?
Biomarkers are parameters that measure aspects of your health. They allow us to monitor your cellular health, energy levels, toxicity, inflammation, fluid balance, fat, muscle, dietary requirements and response to treatment. No other test provides all of this information so quickly and easily.

What BIA can measure?

• Muscle quality
• Lean body mass
• Basic metabolic rate
• Body fat percentage                                                                                                    
• Body fat distribution
• Bone mass
• Biological Age (How are you really ageing?)
• Cellular energy levels
• Hydration (Body fluid distribution)

Who is the VLA program for?
The main people to benefit from this program are people who want to:

• Manage their weight
• Increase muscle tone and fitness
• Improve their energy
• Age healthily
• Manage toxicity levels

What will I receive?
We will perform a quick test, and then enter your results into a computer. You will then be given a computerized analysis of your health, including your key biomarkers, and we will discuss a strategy for health improvement. Over time your results can be compared, so that you can have a clear idea of your progress and how the naturopathic medication if any and dietary modification is having a beneficial effect on your health and total well-being.

Electrodermal Testing :      back to top

   

Electrodermal testing measures energy flow

What Electrodermal Testing Can Do

• Test toxicity in the body (both acquired an inherited)
• Determine the energy level that organs are functioning at
• Suggest particular foods that should be avoided or included in the diet
• Show energy blockages in different body sectors
• Indicate trace mineral, or enzyme deficiencies
• Identify sensitivities to environmental agents
• Indicate a build up of heavy metals
• Indicate if intestinal dysbiosis is present
• Mineral & Vitamin deficiencies
• Hormonal Imbalances

 In our experience, electrodermal screening has provided valuable information for our patients, especially in areas where standard medical tests have been limited or inconclusive. The testing procedure is non-invasive, safe, and the results can be obtained quickly. 

Diseases that may be due to food sensitivities or organ weakness include:
1. Fatigue, headaches, recurrent oedema, poor memory, poor concentration.
2. Sinusitis, rhinitis, and recurrent respiratory infections.
3. Nausea, vomiting, ulcers, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, IBS, bloating.
4. Eczema, Urticaria, contact dermatitis, acne.
5. Asthma, bronchitis.
6. Palpitations, angina.
7. Rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondilitis, osteo arthritis.
8. Recurring cystitis.
9. Alcoholism, depression, learning disorders, behavioural problems, hyperactivity.
10. Hormone disturbances

Patient Preparation:

• Avoid the use of lotions or creams on the hands the day of the test

• Please notify your Naturopath if you have a pacemaker or similar device
• Avoid stimulants with caffeine, i.e. coffee, tea, cola, and chocolate 24 hours before the test
