Laboratory Services utilize tools such as functional blood chemistry and other testing options that focus on physiological function as a marker of health. By looking for optimum function, we discover underlying imbalances or toxins, which increase our ability to detect dysfunctions long before they trigger health challenges.
These tools also assist in finding the root cause of your body’s symptoms. Each symptom is the body trying to re-establish balance where something has caused an irregularity in the body’s harmonious systems.
Laboratory Services are provided for reasonable rates, and results include a Functional Health Report.
Taking advantage of the Laboratory Services we offer at Nutrition & Wellness of the Rockies is a huge step toward your health and vitality.
Here at Nutrition & Wellness of the Rockies, a certified GAPS Practitioner is ready to navigate you through the GAPS Protocol. With support, cooking tips, and more, you’ll be in good hands.
The program is very hands-on to help ease you into the complete lifestyle change that is the GAPS Protocol. You’ll receive an invaluable nutrition education like nothing you’ve experienced before. You’ll want to pass this life-changing knowledge on to future generations.
Before jumping into the GAPS Protocol, you’ll start with the same basic elements – the free consult, laboratory services, and a new patient appointment. Since each body is unique, the data collected will determine if the GAPS Protocol is right for you.
The GAPS Protocol, short for Gut and Psychology Syndrome, is an elimination diet. Its main focus is to heal and re-establish the microbiome in the gut by cutting out foods like grains and processed sugars.
The GAPS Protocol is acknowledged by prominent natural health practitioners as the most effective protocol to heal Leaky Gut Syndrome. As the gut begins to recover, chronic conditions and symptoms from illness will improve.
Once the gut is completely healed, which takes from one to two years, you can periodically eat restricted foods without recurring symptoms or illness.
The theory behind the GAPS Protocol is that all health begins in the gut. The gut’s microbiome, which develops before birth, serves as the foundation of the body’s overall wellness.
Unfortunately, the microbiome is often damaged by toxins and poor nutrition. This leads to Leaky Gut Syndrome, which is when holes form in the gut lining. These holes allow toxins and bits of undigested food into the tissues underneath. A place where food is not supposed to go.
Leaky Gut Syndrome causes imbalances, which leads to a host of problems. These can include poor immune response, inflammation, digestive distress, food allergies, and more.
To heal holes in the gut, the GAPS Protocol removes foods that are inflammatory triggers and replaces them with nutrient-dense food that’s easy to digest. Over time, the gut lining uses good nutrients and healthy fats to mend its walls.
Once the gut has re-sealed itself, the GAPS Protocol has served its purpose. The patient can once again enjoy inflammatory foods in moderation without adverse effects. However, they cannot go back to the poor diet they had before, or the gut will once again become permeated.
Nutrition must become a priority to maintain the progress made by the GAPS Protocol.
The GAPS Protocol was created by Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride.
Dr. Campbell-McBride began her journey at Bashkir Medical University in Russia, where she graduated with honors in 1984. Since then, she’s added two Postgraduate Degrees in Neurology and Human Nutrition from Sheffield University in the UK.
She believed that many bodily imbalances stem from a damaged microbiome and increased intestinal permeability. She wrote the GAPS Protocol to seal the gut, heal the lining, and repopulate the microbiome. Once the gut was healthy, she found that many imbalances and symptoms healed along with it.
Her inspiration and reason to bring the GAPS Protocol to life was for her son, who was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. Dr. Campbell-McBride thoroughly studied biology, neurology, biochemistry, and nutrition to find any links to healing her son’s symptoms.
After much study and diet change, she noticed an enormous shift in her son. He grew to show no signs of autism at all. Dr. Campbell-McBride shifted her professional focus to specialize in autistic children, and the GAPS Protocol was born.
Shortly after, she wrote the book Gut and Psychology Syndrome to share her rich knowledge of nutrition education with the world.
Nutrition education is a serious subject at Nutrition & Wellness of the Rockies, as nutrition is the foundation on which we build our health. Our nutrition education teaches about its role in health, how to choose good foods, and how to maintain new eating habits.
Every single body is unique, so nutritional needs differ from person to person. Each element of your nutrition education will be tailored specifically for your body.
You’ll learn…
Not only is nutrition important, but also the way we digest, assimilate, and absorb the nutrients we take in. At Nutrition & Wellness of the Rockies, we are experts in these areas.
NET, or Neuro Emotional Technique, is a stress reduction technique. It uses physical release points in your body to heal mental stress.
We all carry stress responses from past events, especially traumatic ones. If the body doesn’t release these emotions, they can morph into physical and mental imbalances. Things like phobias, destructive beliefs, or self-sabotage can manifest from untreated stress.
These stress responses live in the neurological system, but also in the muscular and vascular systems as well. NET targets these areas to release stress and heal physical tissue.
With the Mind and Body NET technique, past stressors you’ve forgotten will be banished from your body for good. You’ll find a deeper healing than you ever believed possible.
The Heart Sound Recorder (HSR) is a low-risk tool designed to monitor your heart stress. It records and displays heart sounds – capturing the low-frequency movements of blood cycling through your heart as waveforms. This visualization reveals your heart's rate, rhythm, and tone.
The heart and brain are the first organs to receive vital nutrition in our bodies. Using an HSR, we can assess and compare current and previous heart cycle waveforms. This facilitates before-and-after analysis and trend monitoring to get a full picture of your vascular health, rate-rhythm-tone of the heart, vitamin and mineral deficiency, blood viscosity, and adrenal stress.
CELLUMA Infrared Light Therapy stimulates cellular activity by using blue, red, and near-infrared LED lights. This stimulation reaches deep into your skin to encourage cell regeneration, improve overall cellular health, and dramatically reduce inflammation and discomfort.
This non-invasive, FDA-approved therapy helps skin appearance by reducing signs of aging and acne. But since it reaches a deep level in your tissue, it also relieves muscle pain, stiffness, and arthritic pain.

Muscle Response Testing and Applied Kinesiology are diagnostic methods used to identify nutritional imbalances and deficiencies in the body. They show how well the body responds to nutrients and can shed light on the root cause of imbalances.
When muscle testing is done, muscle strength is measured in response to stimuli, such as the presence of supplements or a food allergen. By observing changes to the muscle reaction, we can identify areas under stress in your body.
These findings assist in pinpointing the original cause of bodily distress. Muscle Response Testing is an integral part of the New Patient Appointment and helps guide nutrition education and your personalized care plan.
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Frequency. These medical devices use a patented, low-intensity, electromagnetic pulse to stimulate the microcirculatory system. The pulses pass safely through the body and help improve muscle tissue, blood circulation, and oxygen disbursement as well as waste removal of CO2 and toxins.
PEMF has also been known to reduce stress, improve physical performance, and enhance relaxation. It’s non-invasive and only takes 8 minutes of use twice a day.
These FDA Class II medical devices are available through Nutrition & Wellness of the Rockies for rent or purchase. We offer a free PEMF session to experience this home medical device.
