Core Lab Panels

Complete Blood Count (CBC)

A CBC evaluates red blood cells (for anemia markers like hemoglobin and hematocrit),
white blood cells (immune markers like neutrophils, monocytes, lymphocytes, eosinophils, and basophils),
and platelets (important for blood clotting).

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)

The CMP checks multiple systems, including:

• Blood sugar: glucose
• Kidney function: BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine
• Electrolytes: sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, anion gap
• Minerals: calcium and phosphorous
• Proteins: albumin and globulin
• Liver function: AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin

Other Functional Lab Tests

Your physician may also recommend additional testing such as:

• GGT (Gamma-glutamyl transferase): helps assess liver and gallbladder stress (including alcohol use, medications, or toxin exposure).
• Uric Acid: a waste product of protein metabolism that helps assess risk for gout, kidney stress, and metabolic imbalance.
• ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate): a general marker of inflammation used to help monitor chronic inflammatory conditions.
• CRP (C-Reactive Protein): rises in response to non-specific inflammation or infection.
• Cardiac CRP (hsCRP): a high-sensitivity marker more specific to cardiovascular inflammation.

Cardiometabolic Testing

Conventional Cholesterol (Lipid) Panel

• Total Cholesterol: summary measure used for hormones and cell membranes.
• Triglycerides: reflects how the body processes and stores excess sugar and calories.
• HDL (“good” cholesterol): carries excess cholesterol away from the bloodstream.
• LDL (“bad” cholesterol): carries cholesterol to tissues; high levels may indicate atherosclerosis risk.

Blood Sugar Tests

• HbA1c: average blood sugar over the past 3 months.
• Insulin: can be an early marker of insulin resistance.

Hormone & Thyroid Testing

Hormone Tests

• FSH & LH: brain hormones that signal ovaries/testicles to produce sex hormones.
• Estradiol & Estrone: forms of estrogen that support cycle regulation and bone health; offer insight into estrogen balance.
• Progesterone: supports cycle regularity, pregnancy health, mood stability, and sleep; helps assess ovulation and estrogen/progesterone balance.
• Testosterone: supports energy, muscle strength, libido, mood, and metabolic health in all genders.

Thyroid Tests

• TSH: signals the thyroid how much thyroid hormone to produce.
• T4 (Thyroxine): primary thyroid hormone used to assess thyroid output.
• T3 (Triiodothyronine): active thyroid hormone affecting metabolism, energy, temperature, and mood.

Stress & Adrenal Health

• Cortisol: commonly called the “stress hormone,” helps regulate energy, blood sugar, and inflammation.
• DHEA-S: a longer-term marker of adrenal output supporting resilience, immune function, and hormone balance.

Specialty Laboratory Testing

Advanced Cholesterol Lipoprotein Profile

For patients with high cholesterol on a standard panel, this profile evaluates cholesterol particle
size, number, and type. It can help assess heart attack or stroke risk and may be more predictive than LDL alone.

Advanced Cardio-Inflammatory Markers

This profile evaluates markers of inflammation and vascular stress associated with cardiovascular and metabolic risk,
including tests such as ADMA/SDMA, F2 isoprostane, hsCRP, Lp-PLA2, MPO, and oxLDL.

Micronutrient Panel

Nutritional panels can assess amino acids, minerals, micronutrients, and vitamins to help tailor supplementation efficiently.
These insights may support individualized strategies related to cognitive function, women’s health, diabetes, heart disease,
neurology, sports medicine, and obesity.

Food Allergy Panel

A blood test that can evaluate food sensitivities and allergies associated with symptoms like inflammation, gas, bloating,
coughing, wheezing, and whole-body inflammation.

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) Test

A breath test measuring hydrogen and methane gases produced by gut bacteria. Helpful in evaluating IBS-related symptoms and digestive dysbiosis.

Digestive Function & Stool Analysis

A comprehensive stool test (yes, a poop test) that evaluates digestion, gut bacteria, candida, parasites, inflammation,
infection, and immune markers of gut health. Useful for chronic digestive symptoms, inflammation detection, and monitoring response to treatment.

Pap Smear & HPV Typing

We offer well-woman exams including pap testing, along with advanced HPV typing to identify specific HPV strains—especially important after abnormal pap results.

Vaginitis Testing

Testing helps distinguish between yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis (BV), trichomonas, or other imbalances so treatment can be targeted rather than guess-based.
Typically involves a simple vaginal swab sent to a lab for identification.

Kashi Genetic Panel

A cheek-swab genetic test evaluating SNPs across 28 genes (including MTHFR, ApoE, VDR, COMT, and more). Results can provide insight into how your body
processes toxins, hormones, medications, and environmental chemicals; how efficiently you utilize B vitamins; inflammatory tendencies; neurotransmitter metabolism;
and genetic tendencies toward insulin resistance, high cholesterol, fat storage, or high blood pressure.

This test does not diagnose disease. It helps inform individualized risk factors and supports prevention-focused decision-making.

Genetic Profile Testing

Neurotransmitter Urinary Testing

A urine test that measures neurotransmitters involved in mood, stress, focus, and sleep. It may help assess concerns like anxiety, low motivation,
irritability, chronic stress, burnout, sleep disturbances, or focus issues. It evaluates neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine/epinephrine,
serotonin, GABA, glutamate, glycine, and sometimes histamine.

This test does not diagnose mental health or neurological conditions and is interpreted alongside symptoms, history, and other labs.

Polygenic Alzheimer’s Risk Testing

A genetic test analyzing variants (including APOE and others) to estimate lifetime genetic risk for Alzheimer’s disease. The resulting risk score can support
personalized prevention-focused strategies for brain health and cognitive resilience.

Galleri Cancer Test

The Galleri® multi-cancer early detection test is a blood test designed to look for signals of cancer before symptoms appear. It can screen for 50+ cancer types,
including several without routine screening tests (e.g., pancreatic, ovarian, esophageal). While it does not replace standard screenings, it can be a helpful additional tool.
