Advanced Hormone Optimization Program

Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone, influencing muscle mass, libido, energy, and overall well-being.

This measures the biologically active form of testosterone, which is crucial for maintaining energy and muscle function.

While estradiol is a form of estrogen, it’s present in small amounts in men and is important for bone density and overall hormonal balance.

DHEA-S is a precursor hormone to testosterone and estrogen. It provides insights into adrenal function and the aging process.

Glucose is the body’s primary energy source, and this test is critical for diagnosing diabetes and blood sugar management.

A1c provides an average of your blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, crucial for managing and diagnosing diabetes.

Elevated uric acid levels can lead to gout or other metabolic conditions.

Insulin is key to understanding how well your body regulates glucose. Abnormal levels can indicate insulin resistance, a precursor to diabetes.

This measures all the cholesterol in your blood, including both good (HDL) and bad (LDL) cholesterol.

Known as “good cholesterol,” HDL helps reduce the risk of heart disease by removing excess cholesterol from your blood.

Often called “bad cholesterol,” elevated LDL levels can lead to plaque buildup in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.

Triglycerides are a type of fat found in your blood. High levels are linked to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke.

Lipoprotein (a) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, as elevated levels can increase the likelihood of heart problems.

Small, dense LDL particles are more prone to causing damage to artery walls, leading to plaque formation and heart disease.

This marker measures the number of atherogenic (bad) lipoprotein particles, offering a more detailed assessment of heart disease risk than standard cholesterol tests.

TSH helps regulate thyroid function, and abnormal levels can indicate hypo- or hyperthyroidism.

T4 is one of the main hormones produced by the thyroid. It helps regulate metabolism, energy production, and growth.

This test measures the amount of active thyroid hormone available for use in your body.

ALT is an enzyme primarily found in the liver that helps convert proteins into energy. Elevated levels indicate liver damage.

AST is an enzyme found in the liver and muscles. It helps diagnose liver damage or muscle injury.

ALP is an enzyme linked to the bile ducts and bones. High levels may suggest liver, bile duct, or bone issues.

Bilirubin is a byproduct of red blood cell breakdown. It helps detect liver dysfunction or bile duct blockages.

Albumin is a protein made by the liver, essential for maintaining fluid balance in the bloodstream.

This ratio compares albumin and globulin levels in the blood, providing insights into liver and immune function.

Globulin proteins support immune function and nutrient transport. Abnormal levels can indicate chronic liver conditions or immune disorders.

BUN is a waste product produced from the breakdown of protein and filtered by the kidneys.

Creatinine is a waste product from muscle metabolism, measured to assess kidney function.

eGFR estimates how well the kidneys filter waste from the blood, indicating overall kidney health.

This ratio helps distinguish between different causes of kidney dysfunction, such as dehydration or chronic kidney disease.

Calcium levels are regulated by the kidneys and are important for bone health and metabolic balance.

This measures the total amount of protein in the blood, indicating potential liver or kidney dysfunction.

This test measures your blood’s acid-base balance, reflecting how well the kidneys manage electrolytes and metabolic function.

Platelets are essential for blood clotting. Abnormal levels can indicate bleeding disorders or bone marrow issues.

These cells are a key part of the immune system, helping to fight infections. Changes in levels may signal infection or immune disorders.

Neutrophils are the most common type of white blood cells, essential for fighting bacterial infections.

Monocytes play a role in fighting chronic infections and help remove dead or damaged tissue from the body.

Eosinophils help combat allergies and parasitic infections. High levels often suggest allergic reactions or parasite issues.

Basophils are involved in inflammatory responses, particularly in conditions like asthma or allergies.

RDW shows the variation in size of your red blood cells. It can help diagnose conditions like anemia or nutritional deficiencies.

Hemoglobin carries oxygen in your blood. Abnormal levels can be a sign of anemia or other blood disorders.

This test measures the proportion of red blood cells in your blood. It’s used to diagnose dehydration or anemia.
