The 35 year history of the Riordan Clinic has focused on blood based nutrient testing. The intention of most mainstream medical blood tests is to detect and/or monitor disease. Very few blood tests provide critical information about the nutritional status of your body like we do at the Riordan Clinic.

A body can function (not thrive) with nutrients at sub-optimal levels for many months, or even years, before a clinical symptom may become apparent. Medical literature is filled with thousands of reports showing that many degenerative diseases can be prevented by having adequate levels of certain nutrients in the body, especially antioxidants. Over 4,000 reports have been written on the benefits of vitamin C alone!

Vitamins are essential in maintaining your body’s health. Your body requires that certain vitamins and minerals be present to maintain critical systems including your organs, skin, bone, and muscle. Vitamins also provide assistance in using chemical energy obtained from food to help process carbohydrates, proteins and fats.

The Riordan Clinic offers a wide variety of blood based nutrient (link to lab test catalog) tests including:

  • 69 individual test options
  • 28 profile tests addressing a specific group of nutrients (example: Vitamin B Profile- B1, B2, B3, B5, B6)
  • 15 panel tests address a specific condition (example: Breast Health Panel).

The test results will allow your clinic doctor to more accurately assess your health status and recommend other therapies to improve your overall well-being. Blood based nutrient testing should be done periodically, ideally a minimum of twice per year, in order to track your progress and make adjustments to your therapy programs – it is the ideal way to stay on top of any health changes.

Everyone, no matter your health status, can benefit from a blood based nutrient testing. If you are interested in improving your health and well-being fill out the patient application and make an appointment with a Riordan Clinic doctor today.
