General Health Panels
Your health story starts here. These foundational labs give us a clear snapshot of your overall wellness and help uncover issues that quick check‑ups might miss.
This test provides a detailed look at your red and white blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelets. It can uncover anemia, detect infections, and identify immune or clotting changes. Because it covers so many areas at once, the CBC is one of the most common and valuable first-line labs.
Fasting required
The CMP measures blood sugar, electrolytes, proteins, and key markers of liver and kidney function. It’s often ordered to assess overall metabolic health and can reveal conditions like diabetes, liver disease, or kidney disorders before symptoms appear.
Fasting required
A lipid panel looks at cholesterol and triglycerides, breaking down LDL (“bad cholesterol”), HDL (“good cholesterol”), and total cholesterol levels. Advanced testing adds particle size and number, which give a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk. Together, these results help guide heart health and prevention strategies.
Fasting required
HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months. Unlike a single fasting glucose reading, it provides a longer-term view of how well your body is managing blood sugar. It’s a cornerstone test for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes or prediabetes.
Fasting required
By looking at fasting glucose alongside insulin levels, this test helps detect early signs of insulin resistance — a common but often hidden driver of weight gain, fatigue, and metabolic dysfunction. Paired with HbA1c, it offers a comprehensive picture of blood sugar balance.
Vitamin D plays a role in immune health, bone strength, mood regulation, and more. Low levels are common and can contribute to fatigue, frequent illness, or bone weakness. This test identifies whether supplementation or lifestyle changes are needed to restore balance.
Fasting required
These markers work together to reveal how well your body is storing and using iron. Low iron or ferritin can point to anemia and fatigue, while elevated levels may suggest iron overload. Both extremes can affect energy, immunity, and long-term health.
These three minerals are vital for strong bones, healthy nerves, heart rhythm, and overall metabolic balance. Deficiencies are often overlooked but can play a role in muscle cramps, fatigue, or cardiovascular concerns.
A full thyroid panel goes beyond the standard TSH test, measuring active thyroid hormones and checking for thyroid antibodies. This helps detect both underactive and overactive thyroid function, as well as autoimmune thyroid disease — common causes of fatigue, weight changes, and mood shifts.
A urinalysis provides information on kidney function, hydration, and urinary tract health. It can also reveal metabolic by-products that give additional clues to your overall health picture.
Hormones, Stress & Adrenal Function
Hormones influence everything from energy and mood to fertility and metabolism. These labs help uncover imbalances that may explain fatigue, weight changes, low libido, or difficulty managing stress.
Cortisol is the body’s main stress hormone. Measuring levels throughout the day can reveal patterns of adrenal function, such as under- or over-production, that may contribute to fatigue, sleep issues, anxiety, or weight changes.
This hormone is a precursor to estrogen and testosterone. Testing levels helps assess adrenal health, resilience, and hormone balance, particularly when symptoms like low energy, reduced libido, or premature aging are present.
Comprehensive hormone testing provides insight into reproductive, sexual, and metabolic health. Imbalances may show up as irregular cycles, fertility struggles, low libido, or changes in body composition.
These advanced tests show not just hormone levels, but how your body processes and clears them. This can uncover risks for estrogen dominance, androgen excess, or inefficient detox pathways that affect overall balance.
This test measures how quickly cortisol rises in the first hour after waking and tracks its daily rhythm. Abnormal results can indicate chronic stress, adrenal fatigue, or difficulty regulating sleep–wake cycles.
These three forms of estrogen provide a detailed picture of female hormone health. Tracking them is especially important for fertility care, menopausal transitions, and monitoring hormone replacement therapies.
Together, these hormones regulate ovulation, fertility, and menstrual cycle health. Testing can help identify causes of irregular cycles, infertility, or perimenopausal changes.
Inflammation, Immune, & Autoimmune Markers
Chronic illness often involves immune misfires or hidden inflammation. These labs help identify whether your immune system is overactive, underactive, or targeting your body by mistake.
At The Healthy Place Clinic, we work with trusted specialty labs like IGeneX and Galaxy Diagnostics to provide advanced testing for Lyme and related infections. Since every patient’s exposure and immune response are different, your practitioner will help determine which labs and panels are best suited to your unique health picture.
This test measures subtle, low-grade inflammation that may increase risk for cardiovascular disease, metabolic disorders, or chronic health concerns.
ESR is a broad marker of systemic inflammation. Faster red blood cell settling rates often point to active inflammatory or immune-related processes.
Cytokines are signaling molecules that regulate immune activity. Abnormal patterns may indicate chronic infection, autoimmune activation, or impaired immune regulation.
ANA testing screens for autoimmune activity. If positive, additional autoantibody tests can identify which tissues or organs are being affected.
These tests measure antibody levels that reflect immune strength and activity. Low values can suggest immune deficiency, while elevated values may indicate infection or immune activation.
Complement proteins are part of the immune system’s first line of defense. Abnormal levels can signal autoimmune disease or inflammation.
This test evaluates the types and proportions of white blood cells circulating in the body. Results help explain patterns like recurrent infections, poor treatment response, or chronic immune imbalance.
Detoxification, Toxins, & Heavy Metals
Environmental exposures and toxin buildup can place extra strain on the body’s immune system, energy production, and ability to heal. These labs help identify hidden burdens and evaluate how well your detox pathways are functioning.
This test measures levels of toxic metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, and cadmium. Blood and urine samples reveal current exposure, while hair analysis shows longer-term accumulation. In some cases, provocation testing may be used to uncover metals stored in body tissues.
These panels screen for toxins produced by mold exposure. Results can help explain persistent symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, sinus issues, or respiratory problems, and guide strategies for safe detoxification.
This testing identifies exposure to common environmental chemicals, including herbicides and pesticides. Elevated levels may impact hormone health, immune balance, or neurological function, making this testing valuable for uncovering hidden contributors to chronic illness.
The organic acids test measures metabolic by-products to evaluate detoxification pathways, nutrient use, and microbiome balance. It provides insight into mitochondrial function, toxin load, and how efficiently the body is processing key biochemical pathways.
These markers assess antioxidant reserves and oxidative stress in the body. Imbalances can indicate difficulty neutralizing free radicals or clearing toxins, often contributing to inflammation, immune dysfunction, or fatigue.
Gut & Microbiome Testing
The gut is central to digestion, immunity, and overall health. These tests help uncover imbalances in the bacterial microbiome, hidden infections, or structural issues that may contribute to ongoing intestinal issues.
This in-depth test evaluates digestive health by looking for pathogens, parasites, yeast or fungal overgrowth, and markers of inflammation. It also measures microbiome diversity to provide insight into how balanced or disrupted the gut ecosystem may be.
This advanced stool test uses DNA technology to detect pathogens, microbiome shifts, and gut imbalances with greater accuracy. It is often chosen when conventional stool testing does not explain persistent digestive or systemic symptoms.
SIBO breath testing measures hydrogen and methane gases produced by bacteria in the small intestine. Elevated results may indicate bacterial overgrowth, which is a common but underdiagnosed cause of bloating, abdominal pain, and altered bowel habits.
These markers evaluate the integrity of the intestinal lining. Abnormal results may suggest that the gut barrier is compromised, allowing toxins or undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream and trigger immune reactions.
These tests detect Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium linked to ulcers, gastritis, and reflux. Identifying and treating H. pylori can improve digestive comfort and reduce the risk of long-term complications.
This testing identifies intestinal parasites that may contribute to chronic digestive distress, nutrient deficiencies, or immune challenges. Detecting and treating parasites can be a critical step in restoring gut health.
Infectious Disease & Co-Infection Panels
Tick-borne and chronic infections often occur together and can complicate recovery. These tests help identify hidden infections and co-factors that may be contributing to ongoing symptoms.
These advanced tests provide a comprehensive evaluation for Lyme disease. Immunoblots and serology assess antibody responses, while PCR detects bacterial DNA. Together, they improve detection accuracy, especially in cases where standard testing may miss the infection.
This test looks for antibodies to Bartonella, a common Lyme co-infection that can cause neurological, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal symptoms. Identifying Bartonella helps guide more complete treatment strategies.
Babesia is a malaria-like parasite transmitted by ticks. Testing includes both antibody and DNA detection to confirm exposure or active infection, which may present with fatigue, sweats, chills, or anemia.
These tick-borne infections can cause fever, muscle aches, headaches, and low white blood cell counts. Testing confirms exposure and helps explain symptoms that may overlap with or mimic Lyme disease.
These tests detect viruses that may reactivate under stress or immune suppression. Reactivation can contribute to fatigue, swollen lymph nodes, and neurological symptoms, especially in chronic Lyme or immune-compromised patients.
Testing screens for fungal organisms like Candida that can disrupt digestion, immunity, and energy balance. Overgrowth is often linked to antibiotic use, chronic illness, or toxin exposure.
This testing identifies persistent bacterial infections that may not fully resolve with standard treatment. Detecting hidden bacterial burdens is key to creating effective, long-term recovery plans.
Nutrition, Vitamins, Minerals, & Methylation
Nutrient balance is the foundation of energy, mood, and resilience. These labs help uncover deficiencies or imbalances in vitamins, minerals, and fatty acids, as well as methylation markers that guide how your body uses nutrients.
This testing evaluates a broad range of essential vitamins. Deficiencies can contribute to fatigue, mood changes, nerve symptoms, poor immunity, and long-term health complications.
Trace minerals play critical roles in thyroid health, immunity, antioxidant defense, and energy production. Measuring levels helps guide supplementation and identify hidden deficiencies.
These tests analyze the building blocks of protein metabolism. Imbalances can reflect poor nutrient absorption, digestive dysfunction, or increased demand during illness or recovery.
These markers show how well the body is using folate, B12, and other nutrients for methylation pathways. Abnormal results can signal cardiovascular risk, neurological concerns, or nutrient absorption issues.
This panel evaluates essential fatty acid balance. Imbalances may affect inflammation, brain function, cardiovascular health, and recovery from chronic illness.
Genetic & Functional Metabolomics
These advanced labs look deeper into cellular pathways, energy metabolism, and how your body responds to genetic and environmental factors.
This test analyzes key genetic variations that affect detoxification, methylation, inflammation, and energy regulation. Results can help guide highly personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies.
This comprehensive panel measures by-products of metabolism to evaluate mitochondrial function, neurotransmitter balance, toxin load, and nutritional status. It provides a detailed snapshot of how the body is functioning at a cellular level.
This test goes beyond hormone levels to show how your body processes and clears them. It’s especially valuable for identifying estrogen dominance, androgen excess, or hormone imbalances linked to energy, mood, or reproductive health.
Metabolic & Other Health Markers
These advanced labs look deeper into cellular pathways, energy metabolism, and how your body responds to genetic and environmental factors.
Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid that plays a central role in the body’s inflammatory response, cellular health, and hormone signaling. Measuring this marker can highlight imbalances in fatty acids that may be influencing joint health, cardiovascular function, or chronic inflammation. When paired with omega-3 testing, it gives a clearer picture of how dietary fats are shaping long-term wellness and resilience.
DHEA is a major adrenal hormone involved in energy, stress response, and the production of other hormones. Testing DHEA sulfate can clarify whether imbalances may be tied to fatigue, mood changes, or hormone-related symptoms.
A derivative of testosterone, DHT is often linked to hair loss, prostate health, and hormone-driven conditions. Measuring DHT can be useful in evaluating androgen balance in both men and women.
GGT is an enzyme primarily made in the liver, and measuring it helps evaluate liver and bile duct function. Elevated levels can indicate liver stress related to alcohol use, toxin exposure, or conditions like fatty liver disease. When combined with other liver tests, GGT provides a more complete understanding of how well the liver is handling detoxification and overall metabolic demands.
This test measures the amount of insulin in your blood, which is the hormone responsible for moving glucose out of the bloodstream and into your cells for energy. A fasting insulin test is particularly useful for identifying early insulin resistance — a condition that often develops long before diabetes is diagnosed. Understanding your insulin levels can also explain issues with energy crashes, weight changes, or stubborn blood sugar fluctuations.
This test helps assess vitamin B12 status more accurately than standard B12 testing. Elevated levels can point to hidden deficiencies that contribute to fatigue, nerve issues, or cognitive changes.
(EPA/DHA, Omega-3/Omega-6 Ratio, Arachidonic Acid)
Evaluates the balance of fatty acids in the body, which plays a crucial role in cardiovascular, brain, and inflammatory health. Results can guide dietary changes or supplementation if imbalances are found.
Measures uric acid levels, which can build up in the blood and cause gout or kidney stones. Testing can also reveal links between uric acid and broader metabolic changes.
A thorough urine test that screens for infections, kidney function, and metabolic changes. Results can provide important clues about hydration, urinary tract health, or hidden systemic issues.
