You wouldn’t drive a car with a mysterious clunking sound and not pop the hood to see what’s going on, right? The same goes for your body. To truly understand what’s happening with your health, you need to look deeper—way deeper—than what’s typically checked at a regular doctor’s visit. That’s where a comprehensive Bio Optimized lab panel comes in!
Beyond the Basics: What’s Really Going On?
At a standard primary care visit, they might take a quick peek under the hood—basic cholesterol, blood sugar, maybe a thyroid test if you’re lucky (because only the basics are covered by insurance). But here’s the kicker: that only scratches the surface! To really see how your engine (a.k.a. your body) is performing, we check over 100 biomarkers.
So, What Exactly Are We Checking?
Think of this lab panel as a full-body diagnostic tool—a kind of “super mechanic” for your health. We’re not just glancing at the obvious; we’re diving into the nitty-gritty, checking things that could impact how well you perform, how you feel, and how you age. Here are just a few of the many checks we do:
- Micronutrient Levels like zinc, B12, magnesium, and many more key players in energy, immune health, and mood.
- NMR Lipid Profile gives us a much more in depth look at your lipid profile, including the size of your lipids and how this relates to your risk for heart disease and insulin resistance.
- Omega 3 Index to check your inflammation-fighting fats (good for your brain and heart!).
- Hormones & Adrenals: Are your hormones as balanced as your checkbook? (We check those, too!)
- Inflammatory Markers: Chronic inflammation is like rust slowly building up in your system. Let’s nip that in the bud!
Why Does Your PCP Skip These Tests?
Here’s the reality: most of these biomarkers aren’t typically tested at your regular PCP visit because—guess what—they aren’t covered by insurance. Yep, insurance prefers to cover the basics. But you’re not basic, and neither is your health! If you want to know what’s really going on, we have to go beyond the standard tests.
