Different Types of Tests
Thyroid
Thyroid Profile – serum
Many patients with thyroid disorders may remain undiagnosed in many patients with asymptomatic or non-specific clinical presentations. The recognition of auto-immunity as a leading cause of thyroid dysfunction has led to the evaluation of auto-antibodies in thyroid testing.
This test is useful for:
- Hypothyroid conditions
- Hyperthyroid conditions
- Autoimmune conditions
- Arrhythmia
- Infertility
- Cholesterol disorders
- Fatigue
- Pituitary disorders
Gut Health
GI 360
The GI360™ Profile is a gut microbiota DNA analysis tool that identifies and characterizes the abundance and diversity of more than 45 targeted analytes that peer-reviewed research has shown to contribute to dysbiosis and other chronic disease states.
This test is useful for:
- Gastrointestinal Symptoms
- Inflammation
- Joint Pain
- Mucosal Barrier Dysfunction
- Autoimmune Disease
- Food Sensitivities
- Chronic or Acute Diarrhea
- Abdominal Pain
- IBD/IBS
- Nutritional Deficiencies
- Bloody Stool
- Fever and Vomiting
Cardiovascular
CardioMetabolic Profile – serum
This advanced test evaluates risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) plus metabolic factors associated with metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes.
This test is useful for:
- Family or personal history of CVD
- Excess abdominal fat
- Obesity
- Insulin resistance
- Fatty liver disease
Nutritional
Fat Soluble Vitamins – serum
Nutritional testing of circulating levels of fat-soluble vitamins provides a good indication of their status throughout the body. The primary fat-soluble vitamins are involved in a vast array of protective and regulatory functions. The thoroughly intertwined and complementary actions among some of the fat-soluble vitamins is equally impressive with respect to optimization of health and disease prevention. Although overt deficiencies are rare, marginal status of specific fat soluble vitamins may be affected by poor diets, inappropriate supplementation, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, malabsorption, and increased demand associated with chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
