His primary role is to lecture on a national basis and consult with clients on the implementation of SpectraCell's micronutrient testing into their practice.

Dr. Grabowski 's research interests include nutritional support of the athlete and the use of supplements in clinical practice for the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, fibromyalgia and gastrointestinal disorders. Professional athletes, including those of Olympic standing, seek his expertise in nutrition consultation.
"I've used SpectraCell's micronutrient test in my practice for over a decade. Nutritional deficiencies lie at the heart of so many conditions I see, and unless they are corrected, a patient never really resolves their health issues on a permanent level. In many cases, these patients have struggled for years with symptoms that disappear when their nutrient deficiencies are corrected," says Dr. Grabowski. "I'm thrilled to pass on my clinical experience in using this powerful tool."
About SpectraCell Laboratories – SpectraCell is a CLIA accredited laboratory that services healthcare providers nationwide by providing advanced diagnostics, including comprehensive micronutrient testing and the Lipoprotein Particle Profile™ (LPP™).
SpectraCell's micronutrient testing provides an innovative analysis of a patient's nutritional status. Unlike traditional serum, hair and urine tests, SpectraCell's tests measure how an individual's white blood cells function in specific nutritional environments. Consequently, the test results take into account individual variations in metabolism, absorption rates, age, genetics, prescription drug usage and other factors. Over 30 vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants can be evaluated.
SpectraCell's Lipoprotein Particle Profile™ is the most advanced lipoprotein testing available. Unlike traditional cholesterol tests, SpectraCell's LPP™ directly measures both the size (density) and number of several classes of lipoprotein particles, providing an accurate assessment of cardiovascular risk.
