Nutritional Deficiencies: Vitamins, Minerals, and Micronutrient Testing
At Brain Health D.C., we understand that optimal nutrition is the foundation of good health. Nutritional deficiencies, even in small amounts, can have a significant impact on your overall well-being, affecting everything from energy levels and immune function to mental clarity and mood. Dr. Nisreen Tayebjee uses a functional nutrition approach to identify and address these deficiencies, helping you achieve balanced nutrition and optimal health.
Vitamins and Minerals
Vitamins and minerals are essential nutrients that your body needs to function correctly. They play critical roles in various physiological processes, including energy production, immune function, bone health, and cognitive performance. However, modern diets and lifestyle factors often lead to deficiencies in these vital nutrients, contributing to a range of health issues such as fatigue, weakened immunity, poor concentration, and more.
Our approach to addressing vitamin and mineral deficiencies includes:
- Comprehensive Nutritional Assessment: We begin with a detailed evaluation of your diet, lifestyle, and symptoms to identify potential deficiencies. This assessment helps us understand your unique nutritional needs and how they might be affecting your health.
- Personalized Supplementation Plans: Based on your individual needs, we develop a customized supplementation plan that provides the right balance of vitamins and minerals to address deficiencies and support your overall health.
- Dietary Guidance: We provide practical advice on how to enhance your diet with nutrient-rich foods that help you meet your daily requirements for essential vitamins and minerals, promoting long-term health and well-being.

Micronutrient Testing
Micronutrient testing is a powerful tool that allows us to assess the levels of vitamins, minerals, and other essential nutrients within your body. Unlike standard blood tests, which typically measure nutrient levels in the blood, micronutrient testing provides a more comprehensive analysis by evaluating how well your cells utilize these nutrients. This approach helps identify both deficiencies and functional imbalances that may not be apparent through traditional testing.
Our approach to micronutrient testing includes:
- Advanced Testing Methods: We use state-of-the-art micronutrient testing to analyze a wide range of essential nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fatty acids, and amino acids. This detailed analysis provides a complete picture of your nutritional status.
- Tailored Treatment Plans: Based on your test results, we create a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific deficiencies and imbalances. This plan may include targeted supplementation, dietary changes, and lifestyle modifications to restore optimal nutrient levels and improve overall health.
- Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Nutritional needs can change over time, so we offer regular follow-ups and retesting as needed to ensure that your nutrient levels remain balanced and that your health continues to improve.
