Product Description
The Sapphire level health assessment is the option we recommend, and what we consider our TRUE basic blood work analysis because it tells us so much more than the basic labs covered by most insurance companies, and our basic blood work panel, which we have nick-named “Rock”, because unlike our other testing, it isn’t very special at all.
What does Sapphire Level Health Assessment Entail?
Like the Basic Blood Work it includes:
- Complete Blood Count
- Liver and Kidney function
- Metabolic markers – Glucose and HbA1C
- Vitamin D
- TSH
But it also includes:
- Advanced lipid testing – Many people are concerned about their cholesterol levels; statin drugs like Crestor and Lipitor are the number one most prescribed drug class in the world. . . and yet they increase your risk of developing diabetes and dementia! The most concerning part, yes, it can get worse, is that they do not even significantly decrease the likelihood that you will have a heart attack or a stroke. Cardiovascular disease is still the number one cause of death in the United States. How is our testing is different? We look at particle size, and particle number to determine how at risk you are.
- Fatty Acid balance – Good fats are actually incredibly important for health. We check your levels to see if you have optimal levels to decrease inflammation, support your immune system, brain health etc.
- Inflammation – We also look at inflammation in the arteries, which is the root cause of atherosclerosis, or plaque in the arteries.
- Homocysteine- cardiac event risk
- Insulin – Another metabolic marker to check for diabetes risk
- Advanced hormone testing for men
- Testosterone – Free and total
- Thyroid hormones – Free T3 and Free T4
- DHEA – for hormones and stress response
- SHBG
- Advanced hormone testing for women
- Testosterone
- Estrogen
- Progesterone
- Thyroid hormones – Free T3 and Free T4
- SHBG
- DHEA – for hormones and stress response
- Microbiome Assessment: The role of the microbiome in your gut cannot be overemphasized. More and more research is showing having a healthy balance of beneficial bacteria in your gut can help prevent allergies, autoimmunity and chronic diseases.
