Medical science has determined that 70% of a person’s immune system comes from their digestive system. This system, also commonly called the gut, comprises many organs, including the mouth, tongue, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, liver, gallbladder, small intestine, and colon.
The stool microscopy diagnostic gives us information on gut health and is the essential foundation for understanding and establishing the health of the individual.
The stool microscopy diagnostic provides an insight into anything unusual and unhealthy in the intestines, with the exception of viruses that are too small to identify with a conventional microscope.
This stool microscopy diagnostic looks for the presence of parasites, unhealthy bacteria, yeast, mucus, pus, and blood in the stool.
When present, each of these contribute to the type and severity of the health issue and may also reveal the need for deeper investigation to uncover the root cause of the person’s ailment, such as the live blood, urine, and sputum microscopy.
Examination of live blood using advanced, leading-edge microscopy protocols can reveal essential information about a person’s health and medical problems.
Medical science has determined that about 30% of a person’s immune system resides in their blood. This includes white blood cells and proteins that defend your body from infection. Immunity is therefore affected by the vitality of the blood and the state of its well-being.
Our live blood microscopy diagnostic identifies other problems, including the presence of blood-specific parasites, Candida yeast, and infections such as Lyme Disease.
Intestinal inflammation can lead to intestinal permeability or leaky gut that results in inflammation that can occur anywhere in the body, including the brain Lyme co-infections, and toxoplasmosis.
The live blood microscopy will also identify problems with the red and white blood cells and the presence of pleomorphic forms.
Many of these issues must be resolved to effectively treat parasites, bacteria, and yeast infections in the digestive system and other systems.

Liz started doing personal blood draws after her son, Dashiell, was born with Zellwegers disease. His diagnosis required numerous blood draws and drug levels throughout his life. After sitting through long wait times at the labs followed by watching many different phlebotomists, many new to the job, struggle to find his veins, often poking him multiple times, as a seasoned phlebotomist, Liz decided to draw his blood at home and hand deliver it to the lab myself. Soon after she began doing personal touch blood draws so she can now offer that same personalized service to you.
Liz graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Biology in 1994. She moved to Santa Barbara and earned her phlebotomy certificate in 1995. Liz began working at St. Francis Medical Center in the Physical Therapy Department and quickly transferred to the Laboratory. Perfecting her venipuncture techniques on all floors of the hospital, including post-operative patients, pregnant women going into labor, sick or premature babies, and emergency room patrons, she then improved her patient care skills working for internal medicine doctors, one of whom was the Medical Director of Hospice and won Doctor of the Year. In 1999, Liz started working with a group of local retinal surgeons. Her primary job consisted of injecting dye into arm veins and photographing its flow through the patients retinal vessels. When patients are worried about their diagnosis or apprehensive about the procedure because of difficult veins, her quick, almost pain free needle stick and kind but professional bed side manner would put them at ease.
The various settings and patients Liz has encountered over the years have enabled her to become very skilled at finding the smallest and most fragile of vessels. Her specialities include infants and the elderly, diabetics of all ages, patients with rolling veins, on blood thinners or chemotherapy. She lives in downtown Santa Barbara, travels from Goleta to Carpintera and brings all the necessary supplies directly to you. All she needs from you is a lab request and your home or office becomes an instant draw station. Appointment times are very flexible, and she is friendly, reliable and punctual. Be kind to your arm and treat yourself to the luxury blood draw you deserve!!!

“After I shifted the focus of my practice from Sports Medicine into Nuclear Medicine specifically Interventional Endocrinology. I found myself questioning our western medical paradigm…Here I was performing thyroid cancer and Hyperthyroidism treatments with harmful radical thyroid radioactive ablations which really made me take a hard look in the mirror and become more of a researcher to find safer and more effective options to better treat my clients. During my research I realized that there were very few, if any, medically directed programs focused towards achieving a “Healthier Lifestyle” rather than typical “Diet” fads.” A few years later after training and working with some of the worlds foremost Bio-identical Hormone Replacement specialists I became Board Certified in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. Sort of just found my passion and the answers I had been looking for with this new specialty finally after years of treating people with the Band-Aid “fix it when its broken” mentality instead of at the root cause.”
Mike has spent the last 10 years in Anti-Aging, Functional and Regenerative Medicine. He has trained over 120 physicians in Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine and consulting for their practices. Today his vision is a reality, and clients from all of the world come to benefit from the successful programs that have been established at Age Management Institute Santa Barbara. He firmly believes in educating the patient about the importance of good nutrition, hormone balance, stress management, and regular exercise is the key to aging well and having a high quality of life well into your golden years.
