Optimize Your Health with Advanced Blood Biomarker Testing
Advanced Blood Biomarkers provide critical insights into your body's health, functionality, and potential disease risks.Testing these biomarkers offers a comprehensive understanding of factors such as inflammation, metabolism, cardiovascular health, nutrition, aging, and hormonal balance.
Hormone Analysis
Our Blood Biomarker Testing Services
Hormones are chemical messengers regulating vital functions like metabolism, mood, energy, sleep, reproduction, and aging. Imbalances can lead to issues such as fatigue, weight changes, mood disorders, and chronic diseases.
Key Hormones Assessed
Sex Hormones
- Estrogen: Supports bone health and cardiovascular function.
- Progesterone: Balances estrogen, aiding mood stability and reproductive health.
- Testosterone: Influences muscle mass, libido, and energy levels.
Adrenal Hormones
- Cortisol: Manages stress response and metabolism.
- DHEA: Precursor to sex hormones; supports immune function and energy.
Thyroid Hormones
- TSH, Free T4, Free T3: Regulate metabolism and energy production.
Metabolic Hormones
- Insulin: Controls blood sugar levels.
- IGF-1: Reflects growth hormone activity, essential for cellular repair.
Testing Process
Hormonal biomarkers are typically measured through blood tests; some may also be assessed via saliva or urine. For women, timing tests with specific menstrual cycle phases may be necessary. Fasting requirements depend on the specific test.
Interpreting Results
Results are evaluated based on age, sex, and health status. Optimal ranges focus on health and vitality rather than merely the absence of disease.
Biomarkers Empowers
Understanding these biomarkers empowers you and your healthcare provider to make informed decisions, personalize health strategies, and proactively manage your well-being.
