A medical and nutritional
approach to blood work Dr. Berglund graduated from Michigan Technological University with a degree in medical technology (laboratory medicine). He then spent the first part of his career doing lab work in hospitals. He has extensive experience not only in the process of drawing blood, but in the interpretation of the lab results as well. In addition to all of his experience in school and in hospitals, Dr. Berglund has been using his medical technology expertise since starting his practice in 1991. He is extremely gentle when it comes to the actual "needle stick", and takes exceptional care of each patient he sees. His patients have even commented that "he's one of the best phlebotomists" they've ever had!
Dr. Berglund can run all the tests your medical doctor would be able to run, and then some! If you have specific tests you'd like added into your lab work, he's completely open to discussing those with you and adding them to your batch of tests.
Muscle testing and blood work With the muscle testing, Dr. Berglund is able to get an accurate assessment of which foods and chemicals you react to, as well as which supplements your body needs. He then uses the blood tests to pinpoint exactly where your body is deficient, which systems need extra help, and which route to take in your treatment plan. He is also able to use the lab work to track your progress with concrete, tangible numbers.
In addition, the blood tests give Dr. Berglund a detailed report of any and all systems in your body that may not be functioning as they should. It gives him the opportunity to find problem areas more quickly, and treat them more quickly and effectively as well.
Preparing for your
blood draw Call our office and let our staff know that you'd like to set up a blood draw with Dr. Berglund. Each blood draw requires a 12-hour fast, so we like to schedule our patients as early in the morning as possible. (This means that most of your fasting is done while you're asleep.) You won't be able to eat anything 12 hours before the test, but we encourage you to drink as much water as you like!
More cost effective than your MD Most standard blood tests are anything but inexpensive. We do our best to keep costs down for our patients so that lab work is not only possible, but affordable. We have recently switched to a lab with very reasonable rates. On top of that, we have reduced their fees even more to make lab work for our patients even more affordable.
Here's a cost comparison for a standard batch of lab work typically run at our clinic. It includes a CBC, metabolic panel, lipid panel, small thyroid panel, iron, electrolytes, as well as a small batch of other tests that Dr. Berglund typically likes to see.
*Note: This does not guarantee the price of any lab work. This is just an estimate for a batch of typical blood work. Prices may vary depending on what Dr. Berglund would order for you as an individual.
