Get the Full Picture of Your Nutritional Health.
Uncover the nutrient imbalances that affect your energy, immunity, and longevity — and learn exactly what your body needs to function at its best.
UNDERSTAND WHAT YOUR CELLS NEED
The Power of Cellular-Level Nutrition Insight
SpectraCell Micronutrient Testing evaluates how effectively your cells use 31 essential vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, metabolites, and carbohydrate metabolism markers. By measuring nutrient function at the cellular (intracellular) level—inside your white blood cells—this advanced analysis goes far beyond standard blood tests to identify true deficiencies, early insufficiencies, and functional imbalances that may impact energy, immunity, metabolism, mood, and overall well-being.
In addition to individual nutrient status, the analysis includes two key functional scores: SPECTROX®, which reflects your body’s total antioxidant capacity and ability to protect against oxidative stress, and IMMUNIDEX™, which measures immune function by evaluating how effectively your immune cells respond when challenged.
Even with a balanced diet, many people remain deficient due to factors like stress, aging, medications, poor absorption, and biochemical individuality. This cellular-level insight helps clarify what your body truly needs to function at its best — and provides a stronger foundation for targeted nutrition and long-term wellness planning.

What to Expect at Your Appointment
Micronutrient Testing begins with a simple blood draw. Your sample is analyzed using patented cellular technology that shows how well nutrients are functioning inside your cells — offering a clearer, longer-term picture than traditional serum testing.
During your follow-up appointment, Dr. Underwood reviews your results in detail, explains what each deficiency means, and outlines personalized steps to restore nutrient balance and optimize your health.
Micronutrient Testing is available for in-person clients in Indian Wells, CA and through remote consultation services nationwide.

Why Micronutrient Status Matters
Even healthy lifestyles can leave nutritional gaps. Research shows that over 50% of people taking multivitamins are still deficient — and standard blood tests don’t show whether nutrients are functioning properly inside your cells.
Micronutrient Testing evaluates how well your white blood cells absorb and utilize essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and amino acids. This deeper insight identifies deficiencies caused by:
-
Biochemical individuality
-
Poor absorption or digestive issues
-
Chronic illness
-
Stress and inflammation
-
Aging
-
Medications
-
Lifestyle demands
Cellular-level analysis is considered the gold standard for precision nutrition because it reveals deficiencies long before symptoms appear and offers a clearer understanding of your true nutritional status.
