Bio-Terrain Assessment (B.T.A.)

Imagine if you could have a nutritionist tell you specifically what kind of oil you should cook with after looking at your blood cells.
BIOTERRAIN CAN REVEAL THAT TO YOU. 

What if you could find a health plan that told you running wasn't the type of cardio best suited for your body?
BIOTERRAIN CAN DO THAT FOR YOU.  

Do you know what your breath rate says about how your body makes energy? Did you even know that your breath rate was important?
BIOTERRAIN WILL EXPLAIN THAT FOR YOU.

What is B.T.A.?

*Comprehensive testing & analysis of key body fluids and vitals

*Customized diet, nutrition & supplement protocol based on personal biochemistry, health & fitness goals. 

*3 months of Health Coaching/Protocol implementation support

*Exclusive access to terrain specific nutritional supplements
Bioterrain Assessment (B.T.A.) is a comprehensive assessment of one's personal physiological state.   Diverse, dynamic measurements of various body fluids (urine, blood & saliva) create data that point toward instances of balance and imbalance in the individual being assessed.  This  data provides the practitioner (Bioterrain Technician) with precise information and profound insight as to what exactly the client needs, from a biochemical standpoint, to improve their health. 

Practically, Bioterrain Assessment is a comprehensive system that utilizes various tests on urine, saliva & blood to determine an individual's biological individualization. Biological Individualization is essentially an assessment of where a client's personal physiology sits in relation to ideal ranges of critically important homeostatic control set points of the body.  

These set points are... 

Electrolyte balance

Anabolic/catabolic metabolism

Cellular membrane structural integrity

Metabolic/ATP pathways of energy production

Dynamic pH Balance 

All of these parameters have ideal ranges in the human body for optimal health.  They are all inter-related, such that a change in one aspect has, potentially, many ramifications on some, or even all, of the other set points.  A Bioterrain audit uses a variety of tests on the aforementioned fluids (blood, saliva & urine) to determine what would be the best plan of action to restore balance to the body and achieve the client's health & fitness goals.  

Nutrition Unique to Your Biological Individualization

At Biofit Pro we use comprehensive lab analysis of each client's physiology to determine the ideal diet and supplement protocol perfectly fit for each individual.  

Every body is different and comes to us with different needs, goals and capabilities.  These differences make nutrition complicated. A diet plan or supplement works for one person may very well not work, set back or even harm another person.  Most people either give up in frustration or suffer through a life long series of trial and error guessing in attempt to find what works for them. Compile that with the fact that our "natural" environment isn't very natural anymore - full of all sorts of pollutants and mineral depleted, genetically modified food and it's no wonder why staying healthy is such a difficult challenge, let alone having a sexy, athletic physique.    

The Solution:  Biofit Pro uses the most comprehensive and insightful lab analysis of your body's physiology & fluid samples to determine exactly what's going on in your body and what you need to do to restore you to your natural state of perfect health and take you further to reach your fitness goals.  

Whether you're struggling with illness and want your health back, or if you're already healthy but want to take your physique, fitness performance or physical beauty to another level, Biofit Pro Advanced Nutrition Counseling can lead the way.

Bioterrain Optimization:
The Perfect Plan for YOU!

Bioterrain Optimization is the practical application of this data and insight in the creation and implementation of a biochemically individualized diet and supplement protocol meant to restore balance and enhance personal health.  The diet and supplement regimen that is created for each bioterrain audit client is based on their complete terrain analysis, their questionnaire responses, their current state of health and their fitness goals.  

Factors weighed into each individual's terrain analysis include:

Metabolic Type
Blood Type
Electrolyte Balance
Digestive Efficiency
and much, much, much more. .. 

Bioterrain Optimization is a method of assessment that is able to measure several factors of the fluid dynamics of the internal environment of the body. This environment is often referred to as the "terrain" or "biological terrain". While the various fields of medicine examine, isolate or treat one particular part or system of the body, Bioterrain Optimization gains feedback about the operation of the entire internal biochemical/electrical environment. This complete picture of information gives the health care practitioner a baseline on which to adjudge his selected course of treatment as well as an objective procedure for monitoring the real effectiveness of his treatment on an on-going basis. This dynamic form of physiological biofeedback helps uncover the underlying cause or causes of a patient's imbalance or illness, rather then treating a list of "symptoms".  

Let's talk about health and farming for a moment as they both have some things in common. Before a farmer plants his seed, he needs to be concerned with the balance of the soil in which he is going to plant. One of the primary things the farmer looks at is the soils pH balance, the mineral balance, hydration level, healthy bacteria levels and other factors that give him an idea of the soil's "terrain" - i.e. the environment in which that seed is going to grow. If the terrain is unbalanced, that little seed is going to have a much harder time growing into a big strong plant. As it grows, nutrient uptake from the soil can be diminished leaving the plant with a poor "immune system" so to speak and it becomes more susceptible to disease, competing foliage and parasites in the environment. The need for herbicides and pesticides increases in proportion to the decreasing health of the soil. 

Your body's cells are similar to that little seed. There is a "soil" for your cells. It is your internal bodily environment. To maintain health and to keep going strong, your cells need their own balanced terrain. This is their "biological terrain". And here also we are concerned with pH balance, mineral balance, hydration levels, good bacteria in the gut and other items of importance. Very simply, when these things are off balance the body is off balance. And when it's off balance, it is reflected in the body's blood, interstitial and intercellular fluids. One of the most dynamic of bodily fluids is the blood. 

By observing living blood under a microscope, we can get a real-time, dynamic and concrete visual perspective of the state of our internal biological terrain or body ecology.  This however is only a QUALITATIVE picture. But behind this qualitative picture lie the QUANTITATIVE numbers which "pushed" the picture into being what it is. 

It is these quantitative numbers that are the basis for Bioterrain Optimization and it is the numbers offered through this form of physiological biofeedback that lie behind the visual picture of blood which someone might view under the microscope. 

Quantifying the nature of the picture points the practitioner to the primary homeostatic balance points affecting health. This is the next step for clinical clarity of what the picture means and for providing spot-on client assistance.

What are the Benefits?

With Bioterrain Optimization there is a clear path to see the core homeostatic mechanisms that are causing a client's problems. 

Without the clarity of this form of Biofeedback, 
It is like the clinician is driving at night without headlights. 
The objective of this application is to turn the lights on.
EXAMPLE: Upon obtaining appropriate flow system feedback, if it was discovered that the electrical resistance is higher than it should be in the urine, you might suspect the body is 1) not be releasing minerals, or 2) does not have minerals, or 3) the person is drinking too much water, etc. (Electrons travel on the mineral content in the body, if resistance is high, there's mineral relationships that need to be addressed.) 

It is also possible that the kidneys are not functioning optimally and the minerals are being kept in the body. Looking to the saliva to see if the minerals are there, you might note saliva resistance lower than it should be, which could point to minerals backing up into the system. Depending on membrane permeability (referenced from another value) you could pretty well determine if blood or lymph is being affected and whether there is a filter/kidney issue, a membrane issue, or both. This is a telltale sign for a typical electrolyte stress situation which a majority of all cardiovascular patients face. 

As one out of two individuals today has cardiovascular problems, identifying the situation and providing the means for the individual to fix it could very well save their life, get them off blood pressure medications while dramatically improving their quality of life.  

Note an opposite situation. If a sequence of blood pressures read low accompanied by low pulse, poor electrical resistance of urine and saliva, this could mean an electrolyte insufficiency--just the sort of problem that plagues people with chronic fatigue and individuals with all forms of health complaints.  

HOW IMPORTANT IS THIS? It is of the utmost importance. For example, if your resistivity/conductivity numbers are askew, any pH testing you are doing could be a lie! Yes you read that correctly. 

Simple pH Testing Can Lie! 
You can have what appear to be "perfect" pH numbers but the perfection is a mask as other systems are struggling to compensate for imbalance. This is one of the pH deceptions which you can identify with these tools. 

As biochemic numbers start to shift away from homeostasis, patients start to enter the clinic complaining of any number of ills.  Where a standard chemistry profile or pH testing is within the norms, a check of their internal "flow system" gives other insights. These new insights leads to a proper assessment of protocols that may be used to help re-establish a healthy and vibrant biological terrain. 

As a factor in the "Body Electric", 
rH2 is probably more important a measure than pH

During our training workshops we show why this is so, but there are limited ways to get an rH2 reading unless you have a meter like the Biomedx BEV. The rH2 is a measure relating ORP (oxidation reduction potential) directly to pH. 

In the example above we looked at resistivity/conductivity which relates to the electrical ions in the body. If this is not right, nothing else is going to matter much for a person's  health. That is at the top of the list of things to know. Right next in line is the electrical properties as reflected in rH2. If this is "off" and you correct this imbalance, you will have one very happy client. 

Assessing the Diphasic State
When you incorporate the work of Revici into the picture you have another element that is at the top of the list for any student of health to know. For example, if you are a health care practitioner and you discover that your client's fatty acid/sterol balance is suspected of being affected (illustrated through aspects of the testing station equipment), you will have one of the most important keys any clinician can have for correcting metabolic imbalance. What might that imbalance appear as? Water retention or dehydration, diarrhea or constipation,  accelerated aging or susceptibility to cancer, etc. Know the anabolic or catabolic state, and you can assist your client tremendously.  

These are just a few of the parameters ascertained through use of Bioterrain and is technology no wellness clinic should be without.
