Nutrition & Wellness

Tests Included

Total Cholesterol (TC)

What it is: The total amount of cholesterol in the blood, which includes low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Why it matters: Cholesterol is essential for cellular structure and hormone production, but excess levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

LDL-C (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

What it is: Often referred to as "bad cholesterol," LDL transports cholesterol to tissues. Elevated levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries. Why it matters: High LDL levels are strongly linked to atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

HDL-C (High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

What it is: Known as "good cholesterol," HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from tissues and transports it to the liver for excretion. Why it matters: Higher HDL levels are protective against cardiovascular disease.

Triglycerides (TG)

What it is: A type of fat (lipid) in the blood, stored in fat cells and used as an energy source. Why it matters: Elevated triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease, particularly when combined with low HDL and/or high LDL.

hsCRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)

What it is: A marker of systemic inflammation, produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Why it matters: Elevated hsCRP levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Glucose

What it is: The main sugar in the blood, derived from dietary carbohydrates. Why it matters: Elevated glucose levels may indicate prediabetes or diabetes, while low levels may suggest hypoglycemia.

HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c)

What it is: A measure of average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. HbA1c reflects the percentage of hemoglobin that is glycated (sugar-bound). Why it matters: Used to diagnose and monitor diabetes or prediabetes.

Essential Fatty Acids

What it is: Fats the body cannot produce, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are crucial for brain function, cell membrane structure, and inflammation regulation. Why it matters: Imbalances or deficiencies can contribute to chronic inflammation, heart disease, and cognitive issues. Key components: Omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., EPA, DHA): Anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid): Support energy production and skin health but may promote inflammation when excessive.

Creatinine

What it is: A waste product formed from muscle metabolism and filtered by the kidneys. Why it matters: Elevated levels may indicate kidney dysfunction or reduced kidney filtration (e.g., chronic kidney disease). Low levels might be seen in malnutrition or muscle wasting.

Uric Acid

What it is: A byproduct of purine metabolism, purines being substances found in certain foods and also naturally produced by the body. Why it matters: Elevated uric acid levels (hyperuricemia) can lead to gout (painful joint inflammation) and may be associated with kidney stones, chronic kidney disease, and metabolic syndrome. Low levels are less common but may indicate liver disease or certain metabolic conditions.

HCY (Homocysteine)

What it is: An amino acid that is produced when the body breaks down methionine (an essential amino acid). Why it matters: Elevated homocysteine levels (hyperhomocysteinemia) are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, and certain neurodegenerative diseases. Elevated levels can result from deficiencies in vitamins B6, B12, or folate, which are involved in homocysteine metabolism.

Vitamin D

What it is: A fat-soluble vitamin essential for calcium absorption, bone health, immune function, and modulation of inflammation. Why it matters: Vitamin D deficiency is linked to osteoporosis, weakened immunity, and increased risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and certain cancers.

Vitamin B12

What it is: A water-soluble vitamin involved in red blood cell production, DNA synthesis, and nerve function. Why it matters: Low B12 levels can lead to anemia, fatigue, and neurological symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or memory issues. Deficiency may result from poor dietary intake, absorption issues (e.g., pernicious anemia), or gastrointestinal conditions.

Folate (Vitamin B9)

What it is: A water-soluble B vitamin essential for DNA synthesis, cell division, and the metabolism of homocysteine. Why it matters: Folate deficiency can lead to anemia, elevated homocysteine levels, and complications during pregnancy, including neural tube defects in the fetus.

About this test

The Nutrition & Wellness blood test is a comprehensive panel designed to provide a detailed understanding of your body's nutritional health and metabolic status. It evaluates levels of essential vitamins, such as Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, and minerals like magnesium and iron, which are critical for energy production, immune support, and cellular function. The test also measures folate, which plays a key role in DNA synthesis and repair, and is vital for overall wellness.

This panel includes metabolic markers, such as glucose and lipid profiles, to assess blood sugar regulation and cardiovascular health. It also evaluates inflammatory markers, such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which may signal underlying chronic conditions. Additionally, the test examines homocysteine (HCY), a marker of cardiovascular and neurological health, and essential fatty acids to determine the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which influence inflammation and brain function.

The Nutrition & Wellness test is a valuable tool for detecting nutrient deficiencies, understanding metabolic imbalances, and developing personalized strategies for maintaining optimal health.
