Lab Testing Lab testing is a cost effective tool to screen and identify imbalances in body metabolism. It serves as a practical way to assess major body functions. There are 2 types of ranges in the field of blood chemistry analysis:
When lab results fall outside the laboratory range - indicates pathology / disease processes are likely. When lab results fall outside the functional range (but within the laboratory range) - indicates there is a risk for a pathology / disease to develop. Patterns of a functional imbalance suggest strategies such as lifestyle, diet and nutrition be recommended to deter development of disease. You can be experiencing symptoms with lab results noting imbalance in either range. In an effort to be cost and clinically efficient, one should first answer and forward to this office a metabolic assessment questionnaire. The symptoms that you note via the questionnaire would suggest what type of lab panels to run. Generally, the more biomarkers you test for - the more you know about your health. Many are surprised to learn that to have an expanded / comprehensive test is not that more expensive than having a commonly ordered basic chemistry panel. Lab tests referred from this office are preformed via LabCorp. Your health insurance may cover your testing. Affordable lab test pricing can been seen at DirectLab.com. You could instead seek similar tests through your general physician. Additional Options: Cholesterol Testing Option: An advanced test for cholesterol evaluation is a LLP (Lipoprotien Particle Profile) by Spectracell Laboratories. Cholesterol testing has historically been used as the standard indicator for cardiovascular disease. However, it is actually the lipoprotein particles that carry the cholesterol that are responsible for key steps in plaque production and the resulting development of cardiovascular disease. Having a LPP (lipoprotein particle profile) test provides a more accurate evaluation of your cardiovascular disease risk. Spectracell Laboratories provides a local option for this test. Your health insurance may also cover this test. Hormone Testing Option: Endocrinology is defined as the branch of medicine dealing with the endocrine glands and their hormones. Functional endocrinology can identify alterations in the endocrine systems. Many of these alterations, if not treated at the early signs of dysfunction, may lead to pathology. A preferred lab provider is Diagnos-Techs. There are 3 different ways to test hormone levels: salivary, blood and urine. Salivary testing is commonly preferred because they are:
