Starting a wellness journey can be challenging and confusing.
With the help of experts, we created the Lifestyle Analysis, a risk-free test that can sort out confusion and help you improve your lifestyle.
What Is the Lifestyle Analysis?
The Lifestyle Analysis is a free questionnaire that can help you find potential gaps in your nutrition and overall health.
With just 14 questions, the Lifestyle Analysis is designed to jump-start your wellness journey and get you thinking about your health.
After answering some basic questions about your gender and age, you’ll be asked about your diet, sleep habits, mood, and overall lifestyle. Based on your answers, you’ll be given evidence-based recommendations for one (or more) of the nine key body systems.
The Lifestyle Analysis takes just a few minutes to complete, and your answers will help you learn which body systems you may need to focus on to improve your health.
Keep in mind, the Lifestyle Analysis is simply an online tool that may help you one your wellness journey. It is not meant to replace standard care for any medical condition. Please talk with a healthcare provider about any concerns you have regarding your health.
The Key Body Systems
Nine key body systems are covered in the Lifestyle Analysis. Sometimes, lifestyle changes, diet changes, and even dietary supplements may help restore balance to these body systems. Your Lifestyle Analysis results may include recommended dietary supplements depending on your health needs.
Circulatory System
Your circulatory system includes your heart, blood vessels, and blood and is responsible for blood flow and oxygen transport. The circulatory system also helps get rid of waste products and carry nutrients to vital organs.1
A healthy circulatory system supports heart health and overall well-being. An unhealthy circulatory system may increase the risk of heart disease and poor circulation.
Digestive System
A healthy gut is essential to your overall health. Everything you eat goes through your digestive system, which is responsible for breaking down food into the nutrients your body needs.
The digestive system includes your gastrointestinal (GI) tract, liver, gallbladder, and pancreas. Disturbances in your digestive system may lead to malabsorption, stomach upset, and even digestive diseases.2
Glandular System
Also known as the endocrine system, the glandular system is responsible for making and releasing hormones. The glandular system is made up of various glands and organs.
Hormones released by the glandular system control functions throughout your body, including growth and development, metabolism, and reproduction. A hormone imbalance may lead to issues in these areas.3
Immune System
The immune system includes cells, tissues, and organs that help you fight illnesses and infections.
A weakened immune system may cause you to be sick more often. You may also experience allergies, asthma, and autoimmune diseases if your immune system is weak.4
Intestinal System
The intestinal system is part of your digestive system. This system is made up of your GI tract, which is essentially a long tube that goes from your mouth to your anus.
Nutrients from food are digested and absorbed throughout your intestinal system, making it a vital part of your overall health. Issues in your intestinal system may lead to issues like bloating, bowel changes, nausea, stomach pain, weight changes, and even certain diseases.2
Nervous System
The nervous system is a complex system that is responsible for sending signals (communication) throughout your body to control movement, thinking, talking, learning, breathing, and more.
Problems in your nervous system may lead to cognitive decline, issues with mood, and even trouble with bodily functions.5
Respiratory System
Your respiratory system helps your body breathe by taking in oxygen and getting rid of carbon dioxide.
A healthy respiratory system aids in energy levels, pH levels, physical performance, and general health. A diseased respiratory system may cause chronic issues like asthma, bronchitis, or other issues in your lungs.6
Structural System
The structural system (also known as the skeletal system) is made up of your body’s bones, cartilage, joints, and connective tissues. This system supports movement and the overall structure of your body.
Age and disease may affect the structural system and increase the risk of bone fractures, mobility issues, inflammation (arthritis), and muscle atrophy.7
Urinary System
The main job of the urinary system is to remove waste from your body through urine. This system is made up of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra.8
Issues in your urinary system may lead to frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs), kidney stones, and chronic kidney disease (CKD).
The Bottom Line
The Lifestyle Analysis is an easy-to-use test that covers nine essential body systems.
After completing the test, you’ll be told which body system (or systems) may need some extra attention. By following the expert-backed recommendations, you may be able to improve your health. Dietary supplements may also be recommended.
If you need additional help with your wellness journey, be sure to talk with a healthcare provider.
