Female Comprehensive Panel

$499

The Male Comprehensive Panel is ideal for:

Anyone who hasn’t had a comprehensive health panel done recently, providing a crucial baseline for tracking health over time.
Men who want a broad and detailed look at their health markers.
Individuals who are managing chronic health conditions and need a clear picture of how their body is responding.
Those focused on proactive health management and optimization.
Individuals who may have a family history of chronic conditions, or simply want to understand their body better.

Female Comprehensive Panel

The Female Comprehensive Panel offers an in-depth look at essential health markers that can help identify early signs of chronic conditions and provide insight into your overall well-being. This panel covers key areas such as metabolic health, cardiovascular health, and hormone levels. This level of comprehensive testing is not always easy to obtain, as many doctors might only check these markers when health issues have already progressed. By being proactive with this panel, you and your healthcare provider can monitor critical health indicators and address potential concerns before they become more serious, giving you greater control over your long-term wellness.

How Often You Should Get It Done

We recommend completing the Female Comprehensive Panel at least yearly, if not every 6 months, to maintain a complete overview of your health and catch any potential issues early.

Omega

Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) is a long-chain omega-3 fatty acid that is a critical component of the brain, eyes, and other tissues throughout the body. DHA plays a key role in brain development and function, especially in infants and young children. It is also important for maintaining heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall well-being.

The DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) test measures the level of DHA in the blood. This test is often part of a broader fatty acid profile or Omega-3 Index, which assesses the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids in the body. The test is used to assess cognitive health, cardiovascular health, prenatal and infant health as well as inflammation and nutritional balance.

Abnormal DHA Levels

Low DHA Levels - Causes

Dietary deficiency: Insufficient intake of DHA-rich foods, such as fatty fish (herring, mackerel, salmon, sardines, or trout), fish oil, walnuts, or fortified foods.
Malabsorption disorders: Conditions like Crohn's disease, celiac disease, or other gastrointestinal issues that impair fat absorption can lead to low DHA levels.
Age: Older adults may have reduced DHA levels due to decreased dietary intake or low conversion from ALA.
Pregnancy and lactation: During pregnancy and breastfeeding, DHA demand increases, and low levels can affect both mother and child.
Lifestyle factors: Stress or heavy drinking could also make it harder for your body to use DHA properly.

Low Levels - Symptoms

Cognitive impairment: Difficulty with memory, focus, and overall cognitive function.
Mood disorders: Increased risk of depression, anxiety, and other mood-related issues.
Poor visual function: Impaired vision, particularly in infants and children.
Developmental delays: Low DHA can lead to delays in learning and behavioral problems in children.
Increased inflammation: Higher susceptibility to inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis or cardiovascular disease.
Dry skin and hair: Reduced skin elasticity and hair quality.

High DHA Levels - Causes

Excessive supplementation: Overconsumption of DHA supplements can lead to abnormally high levels.
A diet rich in DHA: Consuming a large amount of DHA-rich foods (herring, mackerel, salmon, or sardines) or supplements can elevate levels, though this is generally uncommon.
Certain medications: Some medications, like those used for lowering triglycerides, could also contribute to higher DHA levels. Also, high DHA may impact the efficacy of certain medications.

High DHA Levels - Symptoms

Uncommon symptoms: Symptoms of high levels of DHA are generally uncommon, but in some cases, they could include a fishy aftertaste, bad breath, heartburn, nausea, or diarrhea.
Bleeding issues: Excessively high levels can increase the risk of bleeding, particularly in individuals taking blood-thinning medications.
Gastrointestinal issues: Some people may experience nausea, diarrhea, or other digestive problems with high DHA intake.

Cardiovascular Health

Hormonal Health

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) is a glycoprotein produced mainly in the liver that binds to sex hormones, specifically testosterone and estrogen, in the bloodstream. SHBG controls the amount of testosterone and estrogen that is available for the body's tissues to use. When hormones are bound to SHBG, they are inactive and cannot be used by cells. The levels of SHBG can influence the balance of available sex hormones, affecting many bodily processes.

The Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) test measures the level of SHBG in your blood. This test is often used to help diagnose conditions related to abnormal levels of sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. It is particularly useful when total hormone levels are normal, but symptoms of hormone imbalance are present.

Low SHGB Levels

Low SHBG levels have been associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic disorders including metabolic syndrome, as well as some cancers and arthritis in both genders.

Low SHBG - Causes

Obesity
Type 2 diabetes
Hypothyroidism
Cushing’s syndrome
Use of anabolic steroids or androgenic medications
Excessive androgen production (polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), hirsutism, hair loss, and infertility in women).
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)

Low SHBG - Symptoms

Acne
Excessive body or facial hair (hirsutism)
Oily skin
Irregular menstrual cycles (in women)
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms
Aggression or mood changes (in men)
Potential symptoms related to excess free estrogen (in women):
Weight gain
Breast tenderness
Menstrual irregularities

High SHGB Levels

Often, higher levels of SHBG are associated with positive health outcomes. For example, elevated SHBG levels have been linked to a lower risk of type 2 diabetes and prostate cancer. However, they are also linked to a higher risk of bone loss and fractures, hypogonadism in males, and hepatic cirrhosis. In some cases, it may be caused by hyperthyroidism, as thyroid hormone stimulates the production and release of SHBG.

High SHBG - Causes

Hyperthyroidism
Hypogonadism
Liver disease (Hepatic cirrhosis)
Hormones: Estrogen (including estrogen therapy or oral contraceptives), thyroid or growth hormones or other growth factors
Pregnancy
Anorexia nervosa
Aging (SHBG levels naturally increase with age)
Certain genetic conditions
Nutritional status

High SHBG - Symptoms

Decreased libido
Erectile dysfunction (in men)
Fatigue
Loss of muscle mass
Osteoporosis or decreased bone density
Mood swings or depression
