Pregnenelone
DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)
SH (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)
Lutropin (Luteinizing Hormone)
Progesterone
Estradiol
Estrone
FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)
Full Thyroid Panel
TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone): Regulates thyroid function; essential for metabolism.
Total T4 (Thyroxine), Free T4, Total T3 (Triiodothyronine), Free T3: Thyroid hormones that control metabolism.
T3 Uptake: Helps understand how thyroid hormones are being used by the body.
Reverse T3: Can indicate whether T3 is being properly converted and utilized.
TPO Antibody (Thyroid Peroxidase Antibody), TGB Antibody (Thyroglobulin Antibody): Can indicate autoimmune thyroid disease.
White Blood Cells
The part of the CBC that looks at the White Blood Cells measures both the number of WBCs as well as the breakdown for each type of WBC type and that is called the “differential.”
Iron Panel
Iron (serum)
TIBC (Total Iron-Binding Capacity)
Iron Saturation
UIBC (Unsaturated Iron-Binding Capacity)
Ferritin
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
A CMP includes tests that measure your blood levels of:
Glucose, also called "blood sugar." Glucose is your body's main source of energy.
Calcium. This is one of the most important minerals in your body. Most of it is stored in your bones and teeth. Having the right amount of calcium in your blood is necessary for your nerves, muscles, and heart to work properly.
Sodium, potassium, bicarbonate, and chloride. These are electrolytes, electrically charged minerals that help control the amount of fluid in your body. They also help control the balance of acids and bases (pH balance) in your body.
Albumin. This is the main protein in your blood. It's made in your liver.
Total protein. This is the total amount of protein in your blood. It includes albumin and globulins, which are mainly made in your liver.
ALP (alkaline phosphatase), ALT (alanine transaminase), and AST (aspartate aminotransferase). These are types of enzymes that are mainly made in your liver. Enzymes are proteins that speed up certain chemical reactions in your body.
Bilirubin. This is a waste product your body makes when it breaks down old red blood cells. Your liver removes most of the bilirubin from your body.
BUN (blood urea nitrogen) and creatinine. These are waste products that your kidneys filter out of your blood and remove from your body through urine (pee).
How does it work?
For blood panels we order a kit to our office containing a lab requisition and special tubes designed to carry blood in transport. We will schedule you in for earlier in the week and arrange the shipping/pick up for shortly after your appointment so that the sample is taken overnight to the lab for testing. Depending on the markers we run testing may take a few days (for common markers) to a week or two (for less common markers).
How does billing work?
On the day of your blood draw you will be billed the phlebotomy fee (for our nurse). The lab will send an invoice once they are finished processing your results. (Although a quote is available to us ahead of time so you'll know what price to expect).
You can book in with a functional medicine practitioner to review your results and discuss a game plan moving forward.
For urine, stool or other types of testing we can ship or give you the test kits to do at home. Each test kit comes with instructions and return shipping.
