Foundational Biomarker Test
The Comprehensive Picture of Your Health You Deserve
We use the power of integrative medicine to optimize your health.
What does this mean for you? We don’t simply look for labs to fall “within the normal range.” Functional medicine adheres to the principle that biomarkers should be in the optimal range, which can differ from traditional laboratory norms. Rather than waiting for issues to arise, we focus on identifying potential concerns early to prevent problems before they start.
Our Biomarker Test evaluates 70 biomarkers plus an in-body assessment, offering valuable insights into your body’s systems to identify potential issues early and tailor a personalized wellness plan.
This test goes far beyond the standard yearly check-up, ensuring you receive the most accurate and detailed assessment of your health.
Foundational Biomarker Test
ANA (Antinuclear Antibody)
ANA (Antinuclear Antibody)
ANA (antinuclear antibody) is an autoantibody that targets proteins within the nucleus of the body's cells, commonly tested to help diagnose autoimmune conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other systemic autoimmune disorders.
Why it Matters: Helps detect conditions like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and other autoimmune diseases by identifying abnormal antibodies in the blood.

Ferritin/Iron Panel
Ferritin/Iron Panel
Iron is essential for producing hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in red blood cells, while ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body, ensuring a reserve for critical processes like energy production, immune function, and cellular repair.
Why It Matters: Optimal levels of iron and ferritin are crucial for preventing anemia, supporting oxygen transport, maintaining energy production, enabling immune function, and ensuring sufficient iron reserves for overall health and well-being.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential
A CBC with differential provides detailed information about the number, types, and proportions of blood cells, helping diagnose infections, inflammation, anemia, immune disorders, and other health conditions by assessing overall health and identifying abnormalities in white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
Why it Matters: A CBC with differential needs to be optimal to ensure balanced blood cell counts and functionality, as deviations can indicate underlying conditions such as infections, inflammation, anemia, or immune system imbalances, impacting overall health and vitality.

G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase)
G6PD (Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase)
Screens for G6PD deficiency.
Why It Matters: Identifies a genetic condition that can lead to hemolytic anemia, especially after exposure to oxidative therapies. Having a normal G6PD allows patients to take advantage of progressive therapies such as high dose vitamin C, Ozone, and Methylene Blue
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
A CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) is a blood test that measures various substances, including electrolytes, glucose, kidney function markers, and liver enzymes, providing a broad overview of metabolic health and organ function.
Why it Matters: An optimal CMP is essential to ensure proper functioning of key organs like the liver and kidneys, maintain electrolyte and fluid balance, support energy production, and detect potential metabolic or systemic health issues early.

Hemoglobin A1C
Hemoglobin A1C
Testing hemoglobin A1C provides a measure of average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, helping diagnose and monitor diabetes, assess long-term blood sugar control, and evaluate the risk of diabetes-related complications.
Why It Matters: Testing hemoglobin A1C matters because it offers a reliable, long-term measure of blood sugar control, helps diagnose diabetes or prediabetes, and identifies the risk of complications like cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, and kidney problems.
Homocysteine
Homocysteine
Homocysteine is an amino acid produced during the metabolism of methionine, and its purpose is to act as an intermediate in pathways for methylation and glutathione production, which are critical for DNA synthesis, detoxification, and overall cellular health.
Why it Matters: Optimal homocysteine levels are important because elevated levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and cognitive decline, while optimal levels support healthy methylation, vascular function, and overall metabolic and neurological health.

Vitamin D
Vitamin D
Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immune system regulation, and supporting muscle function, cardiovascular health, and overall cellular function.
Why It Matters: Vital for bone health, immune function, and mood regulation. Deficiency is linked to various chronic conditions.

Fasting Insulin
Fasting Insulin
Insulin regulates blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy, storing excess glucose as glycogen, and helping maintain overall metabolic balance.
Why it Matters: Insulin is vital to the body because it controls blood sugar levels, prevents hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, supports energy production, and regulates fat and protein metabolism for overall health and cellular function.

Thyroid Panel (TSH, T3, T4)
Thyroid Panel (TSH, T3, T4)
Testing the full thyroid cascade—TSH, Free T4, Free T3—provides a comprehensive assessment of thyroid function, helping to identify imbalances, conversion issues, or autoimmune conditions that may not be evident from a single test, such as TSH alone.
Why It Matters: Thyroid hormone regulates metabolism, energy production, and growth by controlling how the body's cells use oxygen and nutrients.
Vitamin B12/Folate
Vitamin B12/Folate
Vitamin B12 and folate are essential for red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, nerve function, and the metabolism of homocysteine, supporting overall energy, cognitive health, and cardiovascular function.
Why it Matters: Optimal B12 and folate levels are crucial for preventing anemia, supporting healthy nerve function, promoting DNA repair, and reducing homocysteine levels, which helps lower the risk of cardiovascular and neurological disorders.

Basic Lipid Panel
Basic Lipid Panel
The purpose of a lipid panel is to measure cholesterol and triglyceride levels, including total cholesterol, LDL ("bad" cholesterol), HDL ("good" cholesterol), and triglycerides, to assess cardiovascular health and the risk of heart disease or stroke.
Why It Matters: Key for assessing cardiovascular health and identifying heart disease risk.
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HsCRP)
High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (HsCRP)
Measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) helps assess inflammation levels in the body, aiding in the detection of infections, chronic diseases, or cardiovascular risk.
Why it Matters: Low CRP levels are important because they indicate minimal inflammation in the body, reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and autoimmune disorders, while supporting overall health and longevity.

DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone)
DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) serves as a precursor to sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, supports immune function, regulates metabolism, and may help maintain bone density, mood stability, and overall energy levels.
Why It Matters: Testing DHEA is important to evaluate adrenal gland function, assess hormonal imbalances, and help identify conditions like adrenal insufficiency, chronic stress, or hormone-related disorders affecting overall health and well-being.

Testosterone (Free/Total)
Testosterone (Free/Total)
Including both total and free testosterone provides a more accurate assessment of hormonal balance, as total measures overall levels while free reflects the biologically active portion directly affecting tissues.
Why it Matters: Testosterone supports muscle mass, strength, bone density, red blood cell production, libido, mood stabilization, cognitive function, and overall energy, contributing to physical and mental well-being in both men and women.

AM Cortisol
AM Cortisol
Cortisol helps regulate metabolism, manage stress, control inflammation, maintain blood pressure, and balance the sleep-wake cycle, ensuring the body functions effectively during daily challenges.
Why it Matters: Testing cortisol is important to evaluate adrenal function, diagnose disorders like adrenal insufficiency or Cushing's syndrome, and assess how the body responds to stress, which can impact overall health and hormonal balance.
