Many health problems manifest in the blood long before any symptoms appear. Remarkably, even with only 20 percent of liver or kidney function, there can be virtually no outward signs. Certain blood tests, when interpreted correctly, can indicate the progression toward serious illnesses like cancer, liver disease and heart conditions.

Dr. Donna Kulp, of Kulp Chiropractic Nutrition & Wellness, in Reading, begins with a consultation to determine the appropriate tests for each patient. Using blood work and other diagnostic tools, she performs an in-depth analysis to identify problem areas.

During the report of findings, she highlights conditions that could lead to serious illnesses and provides dietary recommendations. The process involves initial testing, followed by retesting to track progress. Kulp explains that there is no guesswork—it’s all in the testing.

Kulp is a graduate of Logan University and holds a diploma degree in nutrition. She is a certified practitioner with the Institute of Functional Medicine and has more than 30 years of experience. Kulp is also the vice president of the Chiropractic Board of Clinical Nutrition.
