Overview
Provides a comprehensive assessment of your metabolic, cardiovascular, inflammatory, and nutritional health markers. By evaluating these biomarkers together, we can identify early signs of disease risk, uncover potential nutrient deficiencies, and gain insight into factors that influence long-term health, energy, cognition, and healthy aging. The results help us create a personalized plan focused on prevention, optimizing health, and reducing future disease risk.
Metabolic Markers
Helps identify early insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Higher fasting insulin can occur before fasting glucose or A1c become abnormal.
Metabolic Markers
Measures blood sugar at the time of the draw and helps assess glucose regulation, prediabetes, and diabetes risk.
Metabolic Markers
Estimates average blood sugar exposure over approximately 2 to 3 months and helps screen for or monitor prediabetes and diabetes.
Lipid Panel
Represents the total amount of cholesterol carried in the blood. It is interpreted with HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and overall cardiovascular risk.
Lipid Panel
Measures cholesterol carried by HDL particles. Higher values are often associated with lower cardiovascular risk, but results require clinical context.
Lipid Panel
Measures circulating fats that can rise after eating. Elevated levels can be associated with cardiometabolic risk and insulin resistance.
Lipid Panel
Estimates or measures cholesterol carried by LDL particles, which can contribute to plaque formation in arteries.
Lipoproteins
Estimates the number of atherogenic lipoprotein particles, including LDL and other plaque-forming particles. It can refine cardiovascular risk beyond LDL cholesterol alone.
Lipoproteins
Measures a largely inherited lipoprotein associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular and aortic valve disease risk. It adds information that is not captured by a standard lipid panel.
Inflammation
Measures an amino acid influenced by vitamin B12, folate, vitamin B6, kidney function, genetics, and other factors. It can support evaluation of B12 or folate deficiency.
Inflammation
Measures low-grade systemic inflammation and can help refine cardiovascular risk when interpreted in the appropriate clinical setting.
Thyroid Health
Screens thyroid function and reflects signaling between the pituitary gland and thyroid. Thyroid changes can affect energy, metabolism, temperature regulation, and mood.
Liver Function
A liver-associated enzyme used to assess hepatocellular irritation or injury. Results are interpreted with AST and other liver markers.
Liver Function
An enzyme found in liver, muscle, and other tissues. It helps assess liver health but can also rise after muscle injury or strenuous exercise.
Kidney Function
Measures a muscle metabolism waste product used to estimate kidney filtration. Results can be influenced by muscle mass and recent activity.
Kidney Function
Estimates kidney filtration using serum creatinine and demographic variables. It is used to screen and monitor kidney function.
Micronutrient Evaluation
Reflects the proportion of omega-3 fatty acids in red blood cell membranes and provides information about longer-term omega-3 status.
Micronutrient Evaluation
Measures vitamin D status, usually as 25-hydroxyvitamin D, to support assessment of bone, muscle, and overall health.
Micronutrient Evaluation
Measures circulating vitamin B12, which supports red blood cell production and neurologic function. Results may be interpreted with methylmalonic acid or homocysteine when deficiency is uncertain.
Blood / Anemia
Measures the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. Low values may suggest anemia; high values can occur with dehydration or other conditions.
Blood / Anemia
Measures the proportion of blood made up of red blood cells and helps assess anemia, dehydration, and other blood conditions.
Blood / Anemia
Reflects stored iron and is useful when assessing iron deficiency or overload. Ferritin can also increase with inflammation or illness.
Blood / Anemia
Measures circulating serum iron and helps evaluate iron deficiency or overload when interpreted with ferritin, TIBC, and transferrin saturation.
