Live Blood Analysis
I am so excited to share my passion and help others move a step closer to obtaining True Wellness for themselves!
Laura Hunter, BSA - Certified Live Blood Analyst and Founder of Revyve True Wellness

I have always loved food (YES!!!). So much so that I got a degree in it! I hold a Bachelors Degree in Science, majoring in Food Science, from the University of Saskatchewan. A Food Science Degree is all about Food Processing and Safety. Basically, how we can take simple foods and produce them on a larger scale and make them last much longer. I found this all very fascinating and loved visiting various food processing facilities to see how they did it.
My first 'job' out of university was working in quality assurance in a French Fry plant in Manitoba (yummy!) followed by a period working for the government helping develop new food processing companies in Saskatchewan. From there, I moved to Calgary, AB to work for Canada Safeway Ltd. (now under Sobeys) in their head office. For 10 years I worked in the Private Label department in various positions - Product Development, Quality Assurance, Sourcing, Marketing - helping to support their product line of over 4,000 items. A large part of my job was to sample the various food products and compare them to the target brand. I basically ate for a living and got paid for it!!! I loved my job their and all the various food and business elements I was exposed to, but eventually all the 'sampling' took its tole on my body.
​
This experience prompted me to dive into the Health & Wellness field. After experiencing intense cramping and constipation for several days, I had my first consultation with a Live Blood Analyst. She found that my digestive system was basically shut down (yikes!). I was so fascinated by what she could see through her microscope by looking at a drop of my blood. Given my science background, I loved looking at my cells and learning about the impact they have on my health. Over time and working with her, my digestion improved and I started taking my health more seriously. I learned that in spite of having a weak digestive system, with the proper diet and support, I could help my body work smoothly and avoid painful flare-ups.
​
At the end of 2011, I gave birth to our first daughter, Rebecca, and we moved our family to Cold Lake, AB so my husband, Danny, could be home more often with a better work schedule. In 2013, we welcomed our second daughter, Natalie, and our family was completed. I have been fortunate enough to be able to stay home with my children and family, but have been looking for ways to make health and wellness a larger focus in my life. In early 2019, I realized that my fascination with Live Blood Analysis and all the benefits it gave to me was something I could bring to help others in the community. In February of that year, I went to Vancouver and completed the Basic and Advanced Training in Live Blood Analysis and obtained my Applied Nutritional Microscopy Certification.
I am thrilled to be able to offer this tool and knowledge to others to help them get a little closer to obtaining their idea of True Wellness!
What is Live Blood Analysis?
Live Blood Analysis (LBA) is an assessment tool where we observe a small drop of YOUR blood, taken from your finger tip, under a high-powered, Darkfield microscope. The sample is observed immediately so the cells are in their 'living' state. A camera mounted on the microscope displays the image on a monitor so you can see exactly what we are seeing. Through this assessment, information on the ecology of the blood, sometimes referred to as the 'biological terrain' is discussed.

What is Dry Blood Analysis?
Similar to LBA, Dry Blood Analysis (also called an Oxidative Stress Test) uses a drop of YOUR blood, but it is allowed to dry on the slide before observation under the microscope. Different patterns and formations showing in the dry blood are an amazing wealth of information concerning a persons' health. While the Live Blood shows a more immediate picture, the dry blood test shows a more long-term picture of potential damage, as well as present conditions.

What phenomena may be observed?
-
Health of Digestive System - how well does your body extract the nutrients and energy it needs out of the food you put in it?
-
Detection of the presence of parasites, bacteria, Candida/yeast/fungus
-
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
-
Health of Red Blood Cells
-
Level of activity of the immune system
-
Free radical cellular damage
-
Organ stress and toxicity - liver, kidneys, pancreas, heart, lungs, prostate, reproductive organs
-
Heavy metal toxicity
-
Cholesterol, plaque, and uric acid crystals
-
Lymphatic and adrenal stress and congestion
-
Congestion of the circulatory system
-
Dehydration
-
Colon toxicity, poor absorption
-
Level of systemic inflammation
-
and many more...
How can analysis help me?
At REVYVE TRUE WELLNESS, we believe in using a holistic approach to improve overall health and wellness. Using the observations from the Live and Dry Blood Analysis, a report will be given, along with recommendations in regards to diet, supplementation, exercise and lifestyle.

True Wellness is attainable when you feel empowered seeing how you can change your own body from the inside out!
Where does it come from?
Analyzing the blood through microscopy has been practiced for over 100 years. LBA and DBA was developed in Germany by scientists and doctors who had a different view on how the body works and regulates its internal systems. Dr. G. Gunther Enderlein is just one of the early researchers who pioneered these Dark Field methods. Dry blood analysis originated in Europe in the 1920's and was brought to the USA in the 30's. Recent research conducted in several US universities and by many independent researchers and clinics around the world has validated this test.
