Nutrient Deficiencies services offered in Portland, OR
Nutrient deficiencies are far more common than standard blood panels reveal - and they are a root cause of fatigue, brain fog, mood changes, immune dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and more. Naturopathic physicians Rebecca Sand ND and Elizabeth Emrick ND at Open Wellness PDX use advanced nutrient testing and individualized repletion protocols to identify and correct deficiencies that are affecting how you feel and function.
Common deficiencies seen in clinical practice include vitamin D, iron and ferritin, B12 and folate, magnesium, zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and iodine - as well as amino acid insufficiencies that impair neurotransmitter production, detoxification, and tissue repair.
Standard labs often miss subclinical deficiencies that nonetheless have meaningful clinical impact. Treatment is individualized based on testing and may include targeted supplementation, dietary strategies, gut health support since poor absorption is often the underlying cause, and nutrient optimization protocols.
