Blood Chemistry Assessments
Metrics, such as blood pressure, resting heart rate, and body fat percentage, can provide critical insight into one's health; however, they fall short of what comprehensive blood chemistry assessments can offer. Routine blood tests offer an important glimpse of your overall health. A serious medical condition can exist without noticeable symptoms. Early detection is your best defense.

Comprehensive Wellness ProfileA comprehensive screening test that Includes CBC's, lipids, kidney, liver, glucose, electrolytes, bones, minerals, and more. Click here to order blood tests.
Comprehensive Metabolic PanelA broad screening test used to evaluate organ function and electrolyte balance. Includes CBC's, lipids, kidney, liver, glucose, electrolytes, bones, minerals, and more. Click here to order blood tests.
Cardio IQ Advanced Lipid PanelThis panel directly measures your standard lipid panel in addition to your lipoprotein subfractions. LDL exists as small, dense molecules and large, buoyant ones, and evidence suggests that more small particles greatly increase the risk of heart disease. This test also measures your Apolipoprotein B and Lipoprotein (a). Click here to order blood tests.
HomocysteineHomocysteine is an amino acid that plays a role in destroying the lining of your artery walls, promoting the formation of blood clots, and also accelerating the build up of scar tissue. High levels may increase the chance of heart disease and stroke, especially if you have other risk factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, or family history.

Hemoglobin A1cThis non-fasting test, also known as A1c, HbA1c, or Glycated hemoglobin, will give you a picture of the average amount of glucose in your blood over that time period. Click here to order blood tests.

Thyroid Panel CompleteCritical to your metabolism, thyroid function affects your energy level, heart rate, weight control, and more. Includes thyroid panel with TSH, total T3, Reverse T3, Free T3, and Free T4. Click here to order blood tests.
Cardio IQ Advanced Lipid Panel & Inflammation PanelThis panel measures your standard lipid panel in addition to Lipoprotein Fractionation, Ion Mobility, Apolipoprotein B, Lipoprotein (a), hs-CRP, and Lp-PLA2 activity. Click here to order blood tests.
C-Reactive ProteinC-reactive protein (CRP) is a non-specific acute-phase protein produced by the liver in response to tissue injury, infection, and inflammation. CRP, hs is a critical component of the immune system and can be predictive of future risk of heart attack, stroke, sudden cardiac death, and the development of peripheral arterial disease.

Lp-PLA2Lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), also known as platelet activating factor Acetylhydrolase, is an inflammatory enzyme that circulates bound mainly to low density lipoproteins and has been found to be localized and enriched in atherosclerotic plaques. In multiple clinical trials, Lp-PLA2 activity has been shown to be an independent predictor of coronary heart disease and stroke in the general population. Click here to order blood tests.

Vitamin DVitamin D is also known as the "sunshine vitamin" because the body manufactures the vitamin after being exposed to sunshine. Required for strong bones and teeth, Vitamin D helps your body absorb the amount of calcium it needs.
