Metabolism comes from the root word "metabolismos", the Greek word for "change", or "overthrow", It is defined as the biochemical modification of chemical compounds in living organisms and cells. This includes the biosynthesis of complex organic molecules (anabolism) and their breakdown (catabolism). Metabolism usually consists of sequences of enzymatic steps, also called metabolic pathways. The total metabolism are all biochemical processes of an organism. The cell metabolism includes all chemical processes in a cell.

Metabolic testing is unique to the field of nutrition and medicine, as it can truly discover the underlying causes of a long term illness. Whereas medicine performs many extensive lab tests, few of these tests deal with metabolism. They only tell the doctor if a disease state is present, not what caused it. As a result, the true cause is not located and you don't get better. Metabolic testing would be like taking apart a watch and examining every moving part in that watch so find the part not working properly. To truly understand the results of metabolic lab tests, the doctor must be very well versed in the intricacies of body FUNCTION, all the way down to the cell level, and the various chemical reactions that take place and their relationship with each other. It is this practitioner who can ultimately help a patient with an "incurable" disease because the cause is found.

Further, neuroscientists are now studying the role of environmental toxins in the development of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, and in mental/behavioral disorders such as depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and attention deficit disorder.
