ANOTHER OF DR. CAROZZA'S unparalleled expertise is in his
fatty acids analysis which tells someone if they lack omega 3 fats and
are at risk for heart disease. Fatty acids play a critical role in maintaining
good health and not having the right type or proper amount has been
linked to other ailments including premature aging, various cancers,
diabetes, depression, rheumatoid arthritis and various skin conditions.
Conducted via a blood test, results indicate whether an individual's system contains enough ʻgood fats’, essential fatty acids that the body can
only get through diet, and depending on the findings supplements and/
or a food plan is created according to specific needs.
As stress continues to take centre-stage in our lives it is not surprising
that 70% of diseases are believed to be stress-related. In response to
our ancient physiological ʻfight-or-flight’ reaction and the moderation
of stress we release cortisol and other stress chemicals which act quickly
over a short period of time. Not designed to deal with prolonged stress,
the human body continues to release abnormal levels of cortisol which
can lead to issues such as heart disease, anxiety, depression as well as
chronic disease and pain. VNCC can indicate levels of cortisol through
urine testing and following a diagnosis the clinic may suggest lifestyle
modification involving more sleep and exercise, eating fewer refined carbohydrates, eliminating caffeine and participating in relaxing activities
such as meditation.

Testing for food allergies and sensitivities can provide answers for many
ailments from skin rashes and asthma to diarrhea, bloating, stomach
pain and constipation. Urine tests done on the premises can detect if
you have Intestinal Malabsorption or ʻLeaky Gut Syndrome’ to see
if your digestive health is running optimally. This disorder can
lead to excessive gas and bloating, causing you to gain weight
and blood sugars to surge,” explains Dr. Carozza. Lab results
could also reveal a gluten intolerance or celiac disease which,
if left untreated, could result in long-term complications.
Weight loss and management is another of Dr. Carozza's special interests and his customized packages have proven results.
“We educate people how to eat properly to assimilate nutrients
and how to eat enough,” he says. At times unexplained weight gain
can also be the result of a hormone metabolism imbalance where
lifestyle modification is often suggested. This can include the balancing
of vitamins and or Bio-identical hormone therapy such as plant-based
estrogens or progesterones and simply increasing the consumption of
fibre and vegetables as well as getting adequate sleep and exercise.
While there are those who deal with chronic illness on a daily basis there
are many who just need a boost to their immune function in order to
keep the momentum going in their busy lives. Intravenous Therapy does
the job quite effortlessly by bypassing the gastrointestinal system and
infuses higher dosages of vitamins and minerals directly into the veins
for enhanced absorption. Showing great benefits, IV Therapy reduces
the severity of the common cold and flu, stress and fatigue, immunocompromised states, acute infection and aids in restorative health. Besides increasing overall energy this dynamic treatment also prevents and
treats diseases. Whether it’s maintaining good health or dealing with life
threatening illness VNCC is all encompassing and caters to everyone's
healthcare needs. From children, adolescence to the middle-aged and
the elderly, all those considering Dr. Carozza’s one-of-a-kind services can
rest assured that their health is in good hands.
