At Biofuse, we understand that comprehensive health assessments are key to optimal wellness. Our "Core Wellness Panel" is meticulously designed to provide a thorough understanding of your health, covering hormone balance, critical nutrients, metabolic conditions, organ health, and key risk factors. Let's delve into the components of this panel and why they're crucial for your health journey.

1. Hormone Balance Measurements

Our panel includes an extensive hormone balance measurement, encompassing DHEA-S, Testosterone (Free & Total w/SHBG), Estradiol, and a complete Thyroid Panel (Anti-tpo, anti-tg, TSH, Free T3/T4, Reverse T3, LH, and FSH). These hormones play vital roles in regulating metabolism, mood, reproduction, and overall physical well-being.

• DHEA-S and Testosterone: These hormones are essential for muscle strength, bone density, and sexual health. Imbalances can lead to a variety of health issues, from fatigue to libido disorders.

• Estradiol: As a primary female sex hormone, estradiol is crucial for reproductive functions and can also impact bone and cardiovascular health.

• Thyroid Panel: Thyroid hormones regulate metabolism, energy, and mood. The comprehensive thyroid panel helps in detecting conditions like hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, ensuring early intervention.

2. Testing Critical Nutrients

Understanding nutrient levels is essential for overall health. We measure Vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxy, B12/Folate, RBC Magnesium, and Homocysteine.

• Vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxy: Crucial for bone health and immune function, a deficiency in Vitamin D can lead to various health concerns, including osteoporosis.

• B12/Folate: These vitamins are vital for nerve function and the production of DNA and red blood cells. Deficiencies can result in anemia and neurological issues.

• RBC Magnesium: As a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems, magnesium is essential for muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation.

• Homocysteine: Elevated levels can be a risk factor for heart disease, stroke, and other health issues.

3. Testing Metabolic Conditions

We assess fasting insulin, fasting glucose, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), HbA1c, and a Lipid Panel. These tests are key in evaluating your metabolic health; crucial for preventing conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

• Fasting Insulin and Glucose: These tests help in assessing your risk of diabetes and provide insights into your body's ability to process sugar.

• CMP: This panel gives a snapshot of your body's chemical balance and metabolism, including kidney and liver health.

• HbA1c: Reflecting your average blood sugar levels over the past three months is essential in diabetes management.

• Lipid Panel: This test assesses your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by measuring cholesterol levels.

4. Assessing Organ Health

Our panel includes Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential, Uric Acid, and Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT), providing insights into your organ health.

• CBC with Differential: This test gives important information about the types and numbers of cells in your blood, particularly red and white blood cells and platelets.

• Uric Acid: Elevated levels can indicate gout or kidney issues.

• GGT: This enzyme marker helps in detecting liver and bile duct issues.

5. Identifying Key Risk Factors

We measure High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hsCRP), Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), and Apolipoprotein A to assess your risk for certain diseases.

• hsCRP: A marker of inflammation, high levels can indicate an increased risk for heart disease.

• Apolipoprotein B (ApoB): High levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

• Apolipoprotein A: This test helps in assessing the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

Conclusion

The Core Wellness Panel is a comprehensive tool designed to provide a complete picture of your health. By assessing hormone levels, nutrient deficiencies, metabolic health, organ function, and key risk factors, we empower you with the knowledge needed to take control of your health. Our goal is to help you live your healthiest life by providing insights that lead to targeted interventions and personalized wellness plans.
