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.
