That's a great idea. Our faculty actually just got a bunch of motorized standing desks, but they're all for the profs' offices. Might be a fun project to build one next time I have a week or two off.
Yeah it's pretty generic I guess, but it still applies. They want you to pay before telling you the good stuff LoL

Well getting a hair test done is just the first step really. Biocoherence will connect you to a specialist who will help you get balanced, based upon the results of your test.
In my email to them I asked if it is possible to request the ARL recommendations directly, but I'm not sure if they'll do that.
Once I get their answer I'll post it here.

Got a reply finally. They aren't willing to give me ARL's recommendations directly, and want me to go to a specialist so corrections can be made if necessary.
They gave me a list of specialists I can contact. After exams are over I'll go do that
I took my hair test, got a programme with listed supplements and a 45 min free telephone call with a specialist. He invited me to attent his consults, too. Will go, definitely.
You can contact me if you’d want more info

Still haven't gotten the ARL recommendations, instead the guy is trying to push his homeopathic bullshit on me. Seems like a waste of 170 bucks so far...

I know right. I told him I'm not on board with the homeopathy stuff and to give me the ARL recommendations but no reply as of yet.

And I don't mean the hair test wasn't useful, it definitely is. This guy charged that much for one visit, after the hairtest was already done.

I will share everything I know, I just need to get the info myself first lol.
Edit: lol I need to learn to read. Oops. I'd love to hear what advice they gave you, thanks
I forgot about you guys! My bad
Here you go! @barbaar @Admiral
SLOW METABOLISM, TYPE #1
This patient is classified as a SLOW METABOLIZER TYPE # 1. Generally speaking, the Slow Metabolizer is experiencing the following endocrine and CNS activity. However, in those cases involving endocrine replacement therapy, such as; thyroid, insulin, adrenal steroids (anti-inflammatory drugs), etc., as well as endocrine antagonists and in extreme cases of surgical removal of a gland, tissue mineral patterns can be significantly affected. In these cases, the following reported indications of endocrine status should not be considered as representative of endocrine activity. Additional clinical tests and patient history should be taken into consideration.
Para-Sympathetic Nervous System Dominance Tissue Alkalinity
Pancreatic Activity Increased
Adrenal Medullary Insufficiency
Physical Characteristics May Include: Fatigue
Low Body Temperature Low Blood Pressure
Parathyroid Activity Increased Thyroid Activity Decreased Hypochlorhydria
Orthostatic Hypotension Pear-Shaped Body Structure Cold Extremities
There are several sub-classifications of each metabolic type, ranging from Type #1 to Type #4. This is taken into consideration on their supplement and dietary recommendations. The extent to which the patient is manifesting these metabolic characteristics depends upon the degree and chronicity of the mineral patterns.
HIGH CALCIUM/MAGNESIUM (Ca/Mg) RATIO
Calcium and magnesium should always be in a proper balance to one another. If this normal equilibrium is upset, one mineral will become dominant relative to the other. In this case, calcium is high relative to magnesium (see high Ca/Mg ratio), which may be indicative of abnormal calcium metabolism, resulting in excessive deposition of calcium into the soft tissues. In addition, even though the magnesium level is not low at this time, excess calcium relative to magnesium will suppress magnesium function within the body.
MINERAL METABOLISM AND VITAMIN B6
A deficiency of, or increased requirement for vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) leads to alterations in the metabolism, utilization and balance between calcium and magnesium. Calcium retention will increase and the excretion of magnesium will also increase when vitamin B6 is lacking. Therefore, an increased need for vitamin B6 may be indicated by your current HTMA pattern.
-----------------------------------------
DIETARY SUGGESTION
The following dietary suggestions are defined by several factors: the individual's mineral levels, ratios and metabolic type, as well as the nutrient value of each food including protein, carbohydrate, fat, and vitamin and mineral content. Based upon these determinations, it may be suggested that foods be avoided or increased temporarily to aid in the improvement of your biochemistry.
SLOW METABOLISM
Dietary habits may contribute to slow metabolism. Low protein, high carbohydrate, high fat intake and the consumption of refined sugars and dairy products have an excessive slowing-down effect upon metabolism and energy production.
GENERAL DIETARY GUIDELINES FOR THE SLOW METABOLIZER
* EAT A HIGH PROTEIN FOOD AT EACH MEAL...Lean protein is recommended and which should constitute at least 40% of the total caloric value of each meal. Recommended sources are fish, fowl and lean beef. Other good sources of protein include bean and grain combinations and eggs. Increased protein intake is necessary in order to increase the metabolic rate and energy production.
* INCREASE FREQUENCY OF MEALS...while decreasing the total caloric intake for each meal. This is suggested in order to sustain the level of nutrients necessary for energy production, and decrease blood sugar fluctuations.
* EAT A MODERATE AMOUNT OF UNREFINED CARBOHYDRATES...Carbohydrate intake should not exceed 40% of total daily caloric intake. Excellent sources of unrefined carbohydrates include whole grain products, legumes and root vegetables.
* AVOID ALL SUGARS AND REFINED CARBOHYDRATES...This includes white and brown sugar, honey, candy, soda pop, cake, pastries, alcohol and white bread.
* AVOID HIGH PURINE PROTEIN...Sources of high purine protein include: liver, kidney, heart, sardines, mackerel and salmon.
* REDUCE OR AVOID MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS...Due to elevated fat content and high levels of calcium, milk and milk products including "low-fat" milk should be reduced to no more than once every three to four days.
* REDUCE INTAKE OF FATS AND OILS...Fats and oil include fried foods, cream, butter, salad dressings, mayonnaise, etc... Fat intake should not exceed 20% of the total daily caloric intake.
* REDUCE FRUIT JUICE INTAKE...until the next evaluation. This includes orange juice, apple juice, grape juice and grapefruit juice. Note: Vegetable juices are acceptable.
* AVOID CALCIUM AND/OR VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS...unless recommended by physician.
FOODS THAT MAY AFFECT THYROID ACTIVITY
The following list of foods belongs to a family of foods that are known to decrease thyroid activity when eaten in appreciable quantities. If an under-active condition is present, excessive consumption can contribute to symptoms associated with hypothyroidism, such as; fatigue, cold sensitivity, depression, weight gain, dry skin and hair, and constipation.
Intake of the following foods should be reduced considerably until the next evaluation:
Cabbage Rutabagas Cole Slaw Sauerkraut Soybeans Mustard
CALCIUM/PHOSPHORUS IMBALANCE
Kale
White Turnips Flourides Horseradish Chlorinated Water Walnuts
It is suggested that the following foods be reduced until the next evaluation. At this time they may contribute to a further disturbance in the Ca/P balance and contribute to the accumulation of calcium into the soft tissues.
Swiss Cheese Yogurt
Monterey Cheese Mozzarella Cheese Broccoli
Baking Powder
Turnip Greens Kale Hazelnuts Kelp
Carob Powder Sardines
AVOID DIETARY FATS AND OILS UNLESS NOTIFIED OTHERWISE BY ATTENDING DOCTOR
The handling of fats is difficult during a reduced metabolic state, and can contribute to a further reduction in the metabolic rate. It is suggested that all sources of high dietary fat and oil be avoided until the next evaluation.
Salad Dressings Cream Hazelnuts Margarine Bockwurst Salami
Bologna
Corn Chips
Bacon
Duck
Avocado
Cocoa Powder Sardines (canned) Avocado Oil
Cheese (most) Butter
Walnuts
Pork
Milk
Peanut Butter
Pork Links
Almonds Knockwurst
Goose Braunschweiger Peanuts
Tuna (canned in oil) Liverwurst
coconut oil
--------------------------------------------------------
VITAMIN B-1 AND THYROID HORMONE
The following foods high in Vitamin B-1 may be increased in the diet until the next evaluation. Vitamin B-1 has been associated with increasing the effectiveness of thyroid hormone (thyroxine) upon metabolism.
Wheat Germ Rice Bran Pinto Beans Lobster Pike (broiled)
METHIONINE RICH FOODS
The following foods are a rich source of the essential amino acid methionine, which supplies sulfur to the cells for the activation of enzymes, and energy metabolism. Sulfur is also involved in detoxification processes. Toxic substances are combined with sulfur, converted to a nontoxic form and then excreted. The following foods may be consumed liberally during course of therapy:
Bass
Trout
Cod
Turkey Flounder Round Steak
Mackerel
Short Ribs Perch
Sirloin
Pumpkin Seeds
The above list of foods are also high in glutamic and aspartic acid. These amino acid proteins help to improve tissue alkalinity.
SPECIAL NOTE:
This report contains only a limited number of foods to avoid or to increase in the diet. FOR THOSE FOODS NOT SPECIFICALLY INCLUDED IN THIS SECTION, CONTINUED CONSUMPTION ON A MODERATE BASIS IS ACCEPTABLE UNLESS RECOMMENDED OTHERWISE BY YOUR DOCTOR. Under some circumstances, dietary recommendations may list the same food item in the "TO EAT" and the "TO AVOID" categories at the same time. In these rare cases, always follow the avoid recommendation.
--------------------------------------------
THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN ONLY WITH MEALS IN ORDER TO INCREASE ABSORPTION AND TO AVOID STOMACH DISCOMFORT.
PARA-PACK (Metabolic Support)
1 ADRENAL COMPLEX (Glandular Support)
2 MIN-PLEX B (Magnesium + Chromium + B6)
2 HCL V-PLUS (Digestive Support)
1 VITAMIN E PLUS 1
CONTRAINDICATIONS
It is suggested that additional supplementation and/or intake of the following nutrients and food substitutes (if any) should be avoided by the patient until re-evaluation.
* VITAMIN D *
Vitamin D and PABA are known to antagonize thyroid function and increase the absorption and retention of calcium. Excessive vitamin D supplementation can contribute to a loss of potassium and suppress thyroid expression. The patient should avoid sources of extra vitamin D and PABA, especially if a hypo-thyroid condition is present.
* BORON *
The element boron increases the retention of calcium by having an apparent estrogenic effect. At this time, supplementation of boron should not be considered until the biochemical pattern of this patient changes.
* THYMUS *
The thymus has an opposing effect on the adrenal glands. As long as an adrenal insufficiency is indicated, thymus supplementation should be avoided.
* COD LIVER OIL *
Cod liver oil will contribute to an adverse reduction in the metabolic rate, which can result in increased fatigue and depression. It is suggested that cod liver oil be avoided until the biochemical pattern improves.
