3 Lab Tests to Level Up Your Health in 2025

1. Advanced Heart🫀and Metabolic 🍭Panel: We’re not just talking about a lipid panel (cholesterol) and glucose (metabolic panel) but other tests to further assess how sugar and cholesterol particles are actually affecting the body. These test can include (but not limited to): hs-crp, ApoB, ApoA1, oxLDL, LDL-p PLAC, homocysteine, LP(a), MPO, GGT, insulin, A1c, HOMA-IR calculation, and possibly even a Calcium CT Score.

2. Comprehensive Hormone 🧬 Panel: A full thyroid panel should consist of 8 tests, cortisol is best tested as a 4-point salivary test and s*x hormone labs will depend on age, male vs. female and for females, where they are in their cycle. Look for the following:

THYROID 🦋: TSH, free T3 and T4, total T3 and T4, reverse T3, Anti-TPO Ab, and Anti-TG Ab

CORTISOL 😵‍💫: Ask for a CAR (cortisol awakening response) add-on

MEN 🤷🏽‍♂️: FSH/LH, free and total T, estradiol, progesterone, SHBG, PSA, DHEA-s, Pregnenolone, DHT, prolactin, and IGF-1

WOMEN 💁🏻‍♀️: FSH/LH, free and total T, estradiol and estrone, progesterone, SHBG, prolactin, DHEA-s, Pregnenolone, DHT, and IGF-1

3. Micronutrient 🫐🥩 Panel: Nowadays, conventional doctors are often checking for Vitamin D and Vitamin B12 - that’s awesome! But there are so many other nutrients to assess. A Micronutrient Panel covers it all - checking Vitamin C, Magnesium, Glutathione, Omega-3s, Vitamin A, and so much more! It is a great tool to individualize supplement regimens and make informed decisions about how to optimize daily nutrition.

What is Prolotherapy?

Prolotherapy, short for “proliferative therapy,” is a minimally invasive treatment designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing abilities in areas affected by chronic pain or injury. 

The technique involves injecting a solution directly into weakened or damaged ligaments, tendons, and joint capsules to initiate an inflammatory response. This controlled inflammation encourages regeneration and the growth of new tissue, such as collagen and connective fibers, ultimately strengthening and stabilizing the affected area.

🔑 At Maven Wellness, one of the common solutions Dr. Frank injects with is the patient’s very own platelet-rich plasma, aka PRP. PRP is rich in growth factors, cytokines, and proteins that play a crucial role in the body’s healing process. However, depending on the individual’s healing capacity, Dr. Frank may recommend different solutions.

Best healing results are with 1 treatment every 3-4 weeks for a series of 3 treatments.

The Uncommon Benefits of Testosterone…

We know that men having adequate levels of testosterone supports
🧠 mental clarity
💪🏼 building muscle mass
😜 libido
📈 motivation
⚡️energy and vitality

But do we think about how it affects their heart health? Balanced testosterone —”balanced” being the main word — can lower blood pressure and cholesterol.

One of the main ways testosterone helps lower blood pressure is through relaxing of the blood vessels (vasodilation) by increasing nitric oxide production.

Testosterone also helps lower cholesterol. One mechanism is by stimulating a receptor in liver cells called LXRα, which increases the clearance of cholesterol from cells. This, thereby reduces overall cholesterol.

At Maven Wellness, Dr. Frank always takes a holistic approach in his treatment of men’s health. Not only can he help boost testosterone but he also takes into account heart health, inflammation, nutritional status, diet, and stress.

And FYI: TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) isn’t the only way to increase testosterone…

Estrone “E1” | Estradiol “E2” | Estriol “E3”

Knowing which one the body favors as a female is important for helping to minimize risk of breast cancer, decrease menstrual symptoms (heavy flow with clots, breast tenderness, significant cramps, etc.)

There are 2 main ways to test for these estrogens:
🩸Blood
🚽Urine

🩸Blood - When Dr. Rodriguez orders these tests for women she always makes sure to choose LC/MS testing (vs Immunoassay) since this is the most sensitive and accurate testing of estrogens.

🚽Urine - Dr. Rodriguez uses the Dutch S*x Metabolites test from Precision Analytics to see how the body is utilizing and metabolizing the estrogens the body is producing.

Progesterone vs. Progestogen vs. Progestin. Do you know the difference?

Confusing right? These are 3 very different terms. So let’s explain them a little…

Progesterone is the good one, this is the hormone women want. This progesterone is a naturally occurring hormone made mainly by the corpus luteum of an ovulated egg (or by the placenta during pregnancy). It helps keep mood calm and stable, helps turn the brain off at night, and is essential for balancing estrogen levels, especially in relation to the uterine lining. This form of progesterone can be used in hormone replacement therapy and is thus called BHRT (bio-identical hormone replacement therapy).

Progestins are a synthetic version of progesterone. They are typically used in various forms of birth control (oral, implant, injection, and hormonal IUD) and in conventional HRT (hormone replacement therapy). Common names: norethindrone acetate, levonorgestrel, drospirenone, and medroxyprogesterone acetate. For birth control, progestins work by shutting down/suppressing ovulation and thinning the uterine lining. Because they work similarly to progesterone but not exactly the same, they have some side effects like risk of blood clots, and have been linked to depression and hair loss.

Progesteogen just makes everything confusing. This term refers to any substance, natural or synthetic, that exerts progesterone-like activity via activation of the progesterone receptor. It is the reason some published research is confusing to the public because it doesn’t decipher between bio-identical progesterone and synthetic progestins.
