Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT), Two-hour (Oral WHO Protocol)
The Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT), Two-hour (Oral WHO Protocol) evaluates the body's ability to metabolize glucose by measuring blood glucose levels before and two hours after consuming a standardized glucose solution. It is used to diagnose glucose intolerance, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes in pregnant women. This test is particularly useful for patients with borderline fasting or postprandial glucose levels and in the investigation of conditions like unexplained hyperglycemia, hypertriglyceridemia, and other metabolic abnormalities.

I'm the Founder and CEO of Root Cause Clinic™ and Where Physics Meets Physiology™, specializing in biophysics-based wellness education, bioresonance technology, and personalized approaches to health. But my journey into wellness didn't begin in healthcare. It began in logistics. Before entering the wellness industry, I spent years building and managing multimillion-dollar logistics operations, where I developed a passion for problem-solving, analyzing complex systems, and identifying the root causes of inefficiencies. Little did I know those same skills would eventually shape an entirely different career. My greatest motivation wasn't business. It was my children. As a mother of five, navigating health challenges within my own family transformed me from a logistics expert into a relentless researcher of health and human physiology. I wanted more than surface-level answers. I wanted to understand the why behind what was happening in the body. That curiosity became a mission. In 2020, I founded Root Cause Clinic™, which has since served more than 3,000 clients. I later established Where Physics Meets Physiology™ to expand my work into practitioner education, curriculum development, and professional mentorship. Today, I combine my analytical business background with my passion for biophysics, nutritional wellness, and individualized health education. My approach emphasizes understanding the interconnected influences of physiology, lifestyle, environment, and nutrition. I didn't enter this field because I planned a career in wellness. I entered it because I was a mother looking for answers. What began as a personal mission became my life's work.
