All biomarkers

⁽⁸⁸⁾

ApoE Genotyping

ApoE is a gene that affects how your body handles fats like cholesterol. Certain types can raise the risk of heart disease and age‑related memory problems. Knowing your ApoE type can guide lifestyle choices around diet and exercise. It supports more personal prevention plans for heart and brain health.

BRCA2

BRCA2 is another DNA repair gene that helps protect against cancers, especially breast and ovarian cancer. Changes in BRCA2 can raise risk for both women and men. Like BRCA1, it guides decisions on screening and prevention. Knowing your status supports proactive care.

BRCA1

BRCA1 is a gene that helps repair damaged DNA, protecting you from certain cancers, especially breast and ovarian cancer. Think of it as part of your cells’ natural repair crew. When this gene has specific changes, the risk of cancer can be higher. Knowing your BRCA1 status helps you plan screening and prevention with your doctor.

Homocysteine

Homocysteine is a natural substance made when your body processes protein. Higher levels can raise the risk of heart disease and stroke. B vitamins help keep it in check. This test can highlight heart risk and nutrition needs.

suPAR

suPAR reflects overall immune activation and chronic inflammation. Higher levels are linked with higher risk for conditions like heart or kidney disease. It offers a big‑picture view of your inflammatory burden. Improving lifestyle and addressing risks can lower suPAR over time.

Free T3

Free T3 is the active thyroid hormone that directly drives your metabolism, energy, heart rate, and temperature. It’s more powerful than T4 and shows what your body can actually use. Changes in free T3 can explain fatigue, weight shifts, or temperature intolerance. Measured with TSH and free T4, it completes the thyroid picture.

Free Thyroxine (fT4)

Free T4 is the thyroid hormone available for your body to use. It sets the pace of your metabolism, energy, heart rate, and temperature. Together with TSH and T3, it gives a clear picture of thyroid health. Abnormal levels can explain fatigue, weight change, or feeling cold.

Free Testosterone (Male)

In men, free testosterone is the portion immediately usable by the body. It supports muscle, bone, mood, and sexual function. Levels typically decline with age. Measuring free testosterone helps explain symptoms and guide therapy.

Estradiol (F Early Cycle)

This measures estradiol in the early part of a woman’s cycle. It helps assess ovarian function and egg development and is useful in fertility planning. Early‑cycle levels give a clean baseline for comparison. It complements other hormones for a full picture.

Progesterone (Female)

This focuses on progesterone in women, central to regular cycles and healthy pregnancy. Levels change across the month, peaking after ovulation. Low levels can affect fertility and cycle regularity. Tracking it helps personalize care.

Complete Hormone Test

A complete hormone panel looks at several hormones that affect energy, mood, metabolism, and fertility. Seeing the whole picture helps explain symptoms like fatigue or cycle changes. It also guides targeted treatment. Results are interpreted together for best insight.

Kidney (Cystatin C)

This test uses cystatin C to estimate how well your kidneys filter waste. It’s often more accurate than creatinine because it’s less affected by muscle size, age, or diet. Rising levels can flag kidney changes earlier. It helps protect kidney health with timely action.

Kidney (Creatinine)

Creatinine is filtered by the kidneys; when filtering slows, creatinine rises. This test estimates your kidney filtration rate (eGFR). It’s a standard way to spot kidney stress early. Keeping kidneys healthy supports blood pressure, energy, and overall wellness.

Estradiol (Early Cycle)

Estradiol is a key estrogen that supports menstrual cycles, fertility, and bone health. Early‑cycle levels help show how the ovaries are working at the start of a cycle. Results can guide fertility planning and explain symptoms. It’s an important hormone for overall well‑being.

Free T

Free T is the testosterone that’s not bound to proteins and ready for your body to use. It influences energy, mood, muscle, and sexual health. Free T can explain symptoms even when total testosterone looks okay. It helps tailor hormone care more precisely.

Total Testosterone

Total testosterone measures all testosterone in the blood, both bound and free. It’s useful for spotting clearly high or low states. Often it’s paired with free testosterone and SHBG for a complete picture. Results help explain energy, mood, and performance changes.

CRP

C‑reactive protein (CRP) is made by the liver when there’s inflammation anywhere in the body. It acts like an early warning signal for infections, injuries, or chronic conditions. Higher CRP means your body is responding to some form of stress. Doctors use it to detect inflammation and to see if treatment is working.

Glucose (Fasting)

Glucose is your body’s main fuel. A fasting test shows how well you manage blood sugar without recent meals getting in the way. High fasting glucose can signal prediabetes or diabetes. Keeping it in range protects energy, nerves, eyes, and heart.

TSH

Hormones‑stimulating hormone is the brain’s signal to the thyroid to make hormones. If thyroid hormones are low, TSH rises; if they’re high, TSH falls. It’s the best first test for thyroid problems. Abnormal TSH can explain fatigue, weight change, or temperature sensitivity.

Insulin

Insulin is the hormone that moves sugar from your blood into your cells for energy. If your cells don’t respond well to insulin, blood sugar can rise and lead to diabetes. Measuring insulin helps reveal insulin resistance early. It guides lifestyle and treatment choices to protect long‑term health.

Phosphate

Phosphate works with calcium to build strong bones and teeth. It also helps your cells make energy and keeps acid‑base balance steady. Abnormal levels can reflect kidney, bone, or hormone issues. It’s a key mineral for daily function.

Sodium

Sodium helps control fluid balance and supports nerve and muscle function. Too much can raise blood pressure; too little can cause confusion, headaches, or cramps. Illness and medicines can shift sodium levels. Keeping it steady supports overall health.

Uric Acid

Uric acid forms when your body breaks down certain foods and natural substances. If levels get too high, crystals can form and trigger gout or kidney stones. Keeping uric acid in range can help prevent painful flares. Hydration and balanced diet are key.

Urea

Urea is a waste product made when your body breaks down protein. Your kidneys filter it out into urine. High levels can mean dehydration or reduced kidney function; very low can suggest liver issues. It’s a simple way to check kidney health and hydration.

Creatinine

Creatinine is a waste product from muscles that the kidneys should filter out. When levels rise, it can mean the kidneys aren’t clearing waste as well. It’s a core test for kidney function and used to estimate filtration rate (eGFR). Early changes help prevent damage.

Cystatin C

Cystatin C is a protein your body makes at a steady rate, making it a reliable kidney marker. It’s less affected by muscle size or diet than creatinine. That means it can spot kidney changes earlier and more clearly. It helps check how well your kidneys are filtering waste.

Total Protein

Total protein adds up the main proteins in your blood, including albumin and globulins. These support immunity, transport nutrients, and keep fluid balance. Low levels can reflect nutrition, liver, or kidney issues. It’s a broad check of overall health.

Albumin

Albumin is the main protein in your blood, made by the liver. It keeps fluid where it belongs and carries hormones and vitamins around your body. Low albumin can point to liver or kidney issues or not getting enough nutrients. It’s important for overall balance and health.

FIB-4 (Calculated)

FIB‑4 is a simple score calculated from routine blood tests and your age. It helps estimate liver scarring (fibrosis) without a biopsy. Higher scores suggest more scarring and the need for a closer look. It’s a practical tool to screen for liver disease.

Direct Bilirubin

Direct bilirubin is the portion already processed by the liver and ready to leave the body. High levels can point to liver disease or blocked bile ducts. Measured with total bilirubin, it helps find where a problem starts. It’s a core part of liver health checks.

Alkaline Phosphatase

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme found in the liver and bones. Higher ALP can signal bile flow issues in the liver or increased bone turnover. It helps check both liver function and bone health. Doctors often look at ALP alongside other tests for context.

ALT (Alanine aminotransferase)

ALT is an enzyme mostly found in your liver that helps break down proteins. When the liver is irritated or injured, ALT can leak into the blood and rise. Checking ALT helps spot liver problems early, often before symptoms appear. It’s a key marker for overall liver health.

GGT

GGT is a liver enzyme that rises early when the liver or bile ducts are irritated. It can go up with alcohol use or certain medicines. Because it’s very sensitive, it helps spot liver stress before other tests change. It’s often interpreted together with ALT, AST, and ALP.

AST (Aspartate aminotransferase)

AST is an enzyme found in your liver, heart, and muscles. Higher levels can point to stress or injury in these tissues. Together with ALT, it helps tell whether changes are coming from the liver or elsewhere. It’s a helpful piece of the puzzle for assessing liver and muscle health.

Total Bilirubin

Bilirubin is a yellow pigment made when your body recycles old red blood cells. Your liver processes it and helps remove it. High levels can cause yellowing of the skin and eyes and may point to liver or bile flow problems. It’s a key check of liver function.

RDW

Red Cell Distribution Width shows how varied your red blood cell sizes are. Big differences often point to nutrient issues like iron, B12, or folate. RDW helps sort out types of anemia when paired with MCV and hemoglobin. It’s a small number with big clues.

Eosinophils %

Eosinophils are white blood cells that react to allergies and help fight parasites. The percentage shows how big a share of your white cells are eosinophils. Higher levels can appear with asthma, allergies, or certain infections. It helps evaluate immune and allergy activity.

Monocytes %

Monocytes are cleanup crew white cells that remove debris and help fight infections. The percentage shows their share among white cells. Higher levels can occur with infections or inflammation. It’s most useful alongside the absolute count.

Basophils %

Basophils are a type of white blood cell involved in allergy responses and inflammation. The percentage shows how many of your white cells are basophils. Levels are usually very low. Changes can hint at allergies, infections, or other immune issues.

Neutrophils %

Neutrophils are your most common white blood cells and rush to fight bacterial infections. The percentage shows how dominant they are among white cells. High levels often point to infection or inflammation. It’s interpreted with the absolute count for accuracy.

Lymphocytes %

Lymphocytes are white blood cells that make antibodies and coordinate immune responses. The percentage shows their share among all white cells. Changes can come with infections, stress, or immune conditions. It’s useful alongside the absolute count for context.

Monocytes Absolute

This is the actual number of monocytes in your blood. High counts can signal ongoing infection or inflammation; low counts may reflect immune suppression. It helps track how your immune system is responding. Read with the percentage for full context.

Basophils Absolute

This is the actual number of basophils in a set amount of blood. It gives a clearer picture than a percentage alone. Higher or lower counts can relate to allergies, infections, or rare blood conditions. It helps assess how the immune system is acting.

Neutrophils Absolute

This is the number of neutrophils in your blood. High counts usually mean an active infection or strong inflammation. Very low counts increase infection risk and may need urgent attention. It’s a cornerstone of infection monitoring.

Eosinophils Absolute

This is the actual number of eosinophils in your blood, not just the share. It gives a more precise view when checking allergies, asthma, or parasite infections. Very high or very low counts can signal issues that need attention. It complements the percentage result.

Lymphocytes Absolute

This is the actual number of lymphocytes, the white blood cells that make antibodies and coordinate immune defenses. A higher or lower count can reflect infections, stress, or immune conditions. It adds detail beyond the percentage alone. Together they help assess immune health.

Platelets

Platelets help stop bleeding by forming clots when you’re injured. Too few can lead to easy bruising or bleeding; too many can raise clot risk. Illness, medicines, or nutrient issues can change counts. It’s a key marker of blood and bone marrow health.

White Blood Cells

White blood cells fight infections and heal damage. A higher count can signal infection, stress, or inflammation; a low count can raise infection risk. It’s a broad view of immune activity. Doctors compare it with the different white cell types for detail.

MCH

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin shows how much hemoglobin is in each red blood cell. Hemoglobin carries oxygen, so this tells how effective your red cells are. Low MCH can point to iron deficiency; high MCH can relate to B12 or folate issues. It helps pinpoint types of anemia.

MCHC

Mean Corpuscular Hemoglobin Concentration shows how concentrated hemoglobin is inside your red cells. Abnormal values can signal iron problems or other blood disorders. It pairs with MCH and MCV to narrow down causes. Together they guide the right treatment.

Hematocrit

Hematocrit is the percentage of your blood made up of red blood cells. Too low can mean anemia; too high can suggest dehydration or other issues. It’s essential for understanding oxygen delivery in the body. Paired with hemoglobin, it gives a strong view of blood health.

MCV

Mean Corpuscular Volume measures the average size of red blood cells. Small cells often mean iron deficiency; large cells can point to B12 or folate issues. It explains anemia patterns along with MCH and MCHC. It’s a core red cell measurement.

Red Blood Cells

Red blood cells carry oxygen from your lungs to your whole body and bring carbon dioxide back to be exhaled. The right number keeps your energy and focus up. Low counts often mean anemia; high counts can point to other concerns. This measure is key to overall blood health.

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Low levels often cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. It’s central to diagnosing anemia and other blood conditions. Keeping hemoglobin healthy supports energy and exercise capacity.

Magnesium

Magnesium supports over 300 reactions in the body, including muscle, nerve, and heart function. Low levels can cause cramps, fatigue, or irregular heartbeat. Diet, stress, and some medicines affect magnesium. Keeping it in range supports steady energy and sleep.

Potassium

Potassium helps nerves signal, muscles contract, and the heart keep a steady rhythm. Too little or too much can cause weakness, cramps, or dangerous heart rhythms. Many medicines can affect potassium levels. Keeping it balanced is vital for heart and muscle health.

Calcium

Calcium keeps bones and teeth strong and also supports muscles, nerves, and blood clotting. Most calcium is stored in bone, but a small amount circulates in blood for daily needs. Abnormal levels can signal parathyroid, kidney, or bone problems. It’s key for lifelong bone strength.

Omega‑3 Index

The Omega‑3 Index shows how much heart‑healthy omega‑3 fat is in your red blood cells. Higher levels are linked to better heart and brain health and lower inflammation. Since your body can’t make omega‑3s, diet or supplements matter. It’s a long‑term view of omega‑3 status.

Vitamin B9 (Folate)

Folate helps your body make new cells and healthy red blood cells. It’s especially important during pregnancy for the baby’s development. Low folate can lead to anemia and low energy. Keeping levels up supports heart, brain, and overall health.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium for strong bones and teeth. It also supports immune function and muscle strength. Many people are low, especially with little sun exposure. Keeping vitamin D in range supports long‑term bone and overall health.

Transferrin Saturation

This shows the percentage of transferrin that’s carrying iron. Low saturation usually points to iron deficiency; very high can suggest iron overload. It’s calculated from iron and transferrin and clarifies your iron picture. Great for diagnosing iron‑related problems.

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 helps make red blood cells and keeps nerves healthy. It also supports energy production and brain function. Low B12 can cause tiredness, weakness, tingling, and memory issues. Keeping B12 in range helps you feel energized and sharp.

Transferrin

Transferrin is the protein that transports iron through the blood to where it’s needed. High transferrin can mean the body is trying to capture more iron (often with low stores). Low transferrin can occur with inflammation or iron overload. It’s central to understanding iron status.

Ferritin

Ferritin stores iron in your body and releases it when needed. It’s the best way to see your iron reserves, more reliable than blood iron alone. Low ferritin usually means low iron stores and can cause fatigue and hair loss. Healthy ferritin supports energy and oxygen delivery.

hsCRP

High‑sensitivity CRP detects low‑grade inflammation linked to heart risk. Even when you feel fine, a higher hsCRP can signal higher chances of heart attack or stroke. It’s helpful for prevention planning alongside cholesterol and lifestyle factors. Lowering inflammation supports long‑term heart health.

Iron

Iron helps your red blood cells carry oxygen to every part of your body. Low iron can cause anemia, leading to tiredness, weakness, and shortness of breath. Too much iron can be harmful over time. This test helps keep your iron in a healthy balance.

Therapy

Therapy means using your personal biomarker results to guide care. This may include nutrition, movement, sleep, supplements, or medications tailored to your needs. The goal is to correct imbalances and prevent disease. Biomarker‑guided therapy makes care more precise.

Total Cholesterol

Cholesterol helps build cells and make hormones, but too much can build up in arteries. Total cholesterol adds up both ‘good’ and ‘bad’ types. It’s a simple snapshot of heart health risk. Keeping it in range with diet, activity, and lifestyle supports a healthy heart.

Non‑HDL Cholesterol

Non‑HDL includes all the ‘bad’ cholesterol particles that can clog arteries (LDL and others). Many doctors prefer it for judging heart risk because it’s simple and reliable. Lower non‑HDL means lower risk. Diet, movement, and treatment can improve it.

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a common blood fat used for energy and stored in fat cells. High levels raise the risk of heart disease and can reflect diet, alcohol, and blood sugar control. Improving meals, movement, and sleep helps bring them down. They’re an essential part of a lipid panel.

Lipoprotein(a)

Lipoprotein(a), or Lp(a), is a cholesterol particle mostly set by your genes. High levels increase heart and stroke risk even if other cholesterol looks fine. Lifestyle has limited effect, so knowing your level is valuable. It helps fine‑tune your overall heart risk plan.

HDL Cholesterol

HDL is the ‘good’ cholesterol that helps carry excess cholesterol away from your arteries. Higher HDL generally means better heart protection. It acts like a cleanup crew, helping prevent plaque buildup. Healthy habits like exercise can raise HDL over time.

Apolipoprotein B

Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) is the main protein on ‘bad’ cholesterol particles that can clog arteries. It often gives a clearer picture of heart risk than LDL alone. Higher ApoB means more artery‑blocking particles in the blood. Lowering ApoB supports long‑term heart health.

LDL Cholesterol

LDL is the ‘bad’ cholesterol that can build up in artery walls. Lower LDL reduces heart attack and stroke risk. Diet, exercise, and medicines can help lower it when needed. It’s a cornerstone marker for heart protection.

Testosterone

Testosterone supports muscle, bone strength, mood, energy, and sexual health in all genders (with higher levels in men). Levels naturally decline with age. Low levels can contribute to fatigue, lower drive, and reduced strength. Testing helps tailor lifestyle or therapy choices.

Free Testosterone

Free testosterone is the active form that directly affects strength, bone health, and libido. It often explains symptoms better than total testosterone. Levels change with age and health. This test guides treatment when energy, mood, or sexual health are off.

Free Androgen Index

The Free Androgen Index estimates how much active testosterone is available. It compares total testosterone with the protein that binds it. This helps spot hormone imbalance in both men and women. It’s useful for conditions like PCOS or low testosterone.

Prolactin

Prolactin helps start breast milk production after childbirth but also plays roles in men and non‑pregnant women. High levels can cause irregular periods or fertility issues and sometimes nipple discharge. Testing guides evaluation of hormone balance. Treatment depends on the cause.

DHEAS

DHEAS is a hormone made by your adrenal glands that can turn into estrogen and testosterone. It supports energy, mood, and overall vitality. Levels naturally fall with age. Checking DHEAS helps assess adrenal and hormonal balance.

SHBG

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin carries hormones like testosterone and estrogen through the blood. When SHBG is high, less free (active) hormone is available; when it’s low, more is available. SHBG changes with age, weight, thyroid status, and other hormones. Measuring it helps explain symptoms and fine‑tune hormone treatment.

Progesterone

Progesterone prepares the uterus for pregnancy and supports it if conception happens. Levels rise after ovulation and fall if pregnancy doesn’t occur. In men, smaller amounts support hormone balance. Checking it helps explain fertility and cycle symptoms.

Estradiol

Estradiol is the main estrogen that supports menstrual cycles, fertility, bones, and mood. Levels vary with age and cycle phase and also matter in men for bone health. Abnormal levels can explain symptoms like hot flashes, cycle changes, or mood shifts. It’s central to understanding hormone balance.

Luteinizing hormone triggers ovulation in women and supports testosterone production in men. Levels rise and fall naturally across the cycle and with age. Testing LH helps explain fertility concerns and hormone symptoms. It’s usually interpreted with FSH and other hormones.

FSH

Follicle‑stimulating hormone helps regulate fertility. In women, it supports egg development and changes through the menstrual cycle; in men, it helps with sperm production. Levels can shift with age, stress, and medical conditions. Measuring FSH helps explain cycle changes, fertility issues, and menopause status.

Insulin / C‑peptide

Insulin and C‑peptide are released together from the pancreas. Measuring both shows how much insulin your body makes versus how much is active in the blood. This helps tell type 1 from type 2 diabetes and guides treatment. It’s a complete view of insulin production.

HbA1c

HbA1c shows your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. It’s more stable than a single glucose test and is key for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes. Lower is generally better, within a healthy range your doctor sets. It helps guide diet, exercise, and treatment.

Glucose

Glucose levels change during the day with food and activity. This test helps see how your body handles sugar outside of a strict fasting window. Abnormal values can suggest diabetes or blood sugar swings. It’s a core part of checking metabolic health.

HOMA-IR

HOMA‑IR is a calculation that estimates how sensitive your body is to insulin. A higher number suggests insulin resistance, which can lead to prediabetes and diabetes. It helps catch metabolic problems early, before bigger issues develop. Improving diet, sleep, and activity can lower HOMA‑IR.
