Nutrition and Metabolic Testing in Virginia

[Anonymous]

Is there anywhere I can take my elementary age child in Virginia to have nutritional and metabolic testing?

My son has had genetic metabolic testing at Children's in DC. I would think the Children's Fairfax Annex could do the testing.

OP may I ask why you're seeking the testing?

I understand the nutritional testing - we are doing that soon as well. but am clueless on the topic of metabolic testing? why would one choose or need metabolic testing?

My child is tired all the time. All year long. Not sure what I'm looking for yet, but there was a locked thread titled Nutritional and Metabolic testing but with no Virginia information. Children's doesn't seem to have a Fairfax address anymore and they're always booked a full year out. Is there anyone else available?

How about coming into DC? I have been considering taking DS here - http://www.nihadc.com/health-programs/metabolic-therapy-thyroid-adrenal-hormone-correction.html

Is there nothing in Virginia? DC is very hard for us to get to.
