Comprehensive Panel for overall health
Comprehensive Blood Sugar/Insulin Resistance Panel
Comprehensive Thyroid Panel
There are two options for each panel listed: LabCorp and Access Medical. They have the exact same markers, the only difference is the draw location and fees. LabCorp panels INCLUDE the draw fee when done at LabCorp locations. If you don't live near a LabCorp, you can use Access Medical and use an approved phlebotomy center (fee not included, varies by location).
If you are looking for markers not listed here, please reach out. There are countless labs available (blood, stools, saliva, urine) for hormones, metabolic health, toxins, gut health, adrenals, etc.

What Others Are Saying...
Let me make this clear...
This isn't the routine blood work you've had done before.
Your doctor has run routine blood work and likely told you one of two things that you don't agree with:
- Your results are "normal" - but you know something isn't right with your body.
- You have a diagnosis that requires medications and/or procedures - but you aren't interested in a lifetime of medications if there are natural alternatives.
The truth is, the lab panels they typically run only provide a limited snapshot of what's really going on inside your body. These outdated testing methods often fail to identify the full imbalances, leaving you with more questions than answers.
But here's the good news: this is not your average blood test. It's a cutting-edge, comprehensive approach that goes beyond the limitations of basic labs to provide you with the personalized insights you need to finally take control of your metabolic health.
Are you ready to see your metabolic health status for yourself without relying on your doctor?
You might be thinking...
Why would you listen to me?
Why would you listen to me?
Because I'm not just any ordinary health practitioner.
While working full time as a Crime Scene Investigator, I faced my own health challenges, feeling lost and overwhelmed in search of answers. My doctors told me I had developing heart disease, but couldn't give me anything solid to do about it. Even seeing plaque forming in my carotids and thickening arterial walls, I still couldn't get them to take me seriously and run the labs I knew I needed.
I've walked the same path you're on right now.
I transitioned from struggling with my well-being to discovering the keys to a healthier, more balanced lifestyle, all while juggling the responsibilities of a demanding career.
Upon overcoming my own obstacles, I found my true calling in helping others transform their lives. I've turned my mess into my message and dedicated myself to guiding others on their journey to optimal health and wellness.
I'm not any different than you are; I once grappled with the same issues you're experiencing now.
Through my personal journey, I've gained invaluable insights and developed effective strategies to empower others in achieving lasting health and wellness transformations – and now, I'm here to support you.

What exactly is the Advanced Metabolic Health Panel?
The Advanced Metabolic Health Panel is a comprehensive analysis of your blood chemistry to evaluate every body system including over 70 markers for blood sugar handling, blood cell health, inflammation, kidney, liver, adrenal, thyroid, nutrient status, and so much more. Every system plays in to how well your overall metabolic processes are functioning.
There are smaller panel options also available in the lab shop to evaluate blood sugar/insulin resistance or thyroid only.
Do I need to fast for this test?
Yes for the Blood Sugar/Insulin Resistance and Advanced Metabolic Health Panels. This is a fasting test for evaluation of blood sugar, lipids, and nutrients. Aim to have the blood drawn in the morning, after a 12-14 hour fast. Drink plenty of water the day before and the day of the test. No other foods or beverages during the fast.
You do not have to fast for the Comprehensive Thyroid panel.
Do I need to stop medications or supplements for the test?
Ideally, you would not take any medications or supplements leading up to the test, however that isn't always possible or recommended, depending on what you take.
I do recommend skipping any non-essential supplements, especially those containing B vitamins (for 3-7 days). If possible, medication doses can be delayed until after the blood draw. Limit or avoid even over the counter medications prior to the draw (Pepto Bismol, Tylenol, Advil, etc). If you have a need for these medications for a recent incident or illness (temporary), it is recommended to wait until you no longer need them for the blood draw. Do not have your blood drawn when you are sick or otherwise not feeling normal.

If you have a need for these medications for a recent incident or illness (temporary), it is recommended to wait until you no longer need them for the blood draw. Do not have your blood drawn when you are sick or otherwise not feeling normal.
For any medications that cannot be skipped or delayed, continue taking the normal dosing.
Any other instructions prior to the draw?
It is recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for 24-48 hours prior to the blood draw for the Advanced Metabolic Health Panel.
Try to have your blood drawn on a fairly typical day; not when under extra stress, sick, or during other unusual circumstances.
Can I use these results to alter my medications or dosing?
This information can be taken to your prescribing physician for discussions around modifications to medications. I do NOT recommend you make any self-adjustments, nor will I make any recommendations to modifications.
How often should I undergo Metabolic Health testing?
I recommend this type of testing be done at least once per year, though some clients opt to conduct this testing 2-4 times per year when on their healing journey.
How is this different from routine bloodwork?
This panel is far more advanced than your standard conventional medical panel includes PLUS it will provide you with a Functional Report. The functional report looks at your results compared to IDEAL health, not just lab reference ranges.
In addition to this powerful data about your current health, you'll be provided with education on what the markers mean and simple recommendations to repair any imbalances.
How long does it take to get my results?
Typically the results are in within 7-10 business days.
Where do I get the blood drawn?
The primary lab I use is LabCorp which includes the lab draw fee. If you do not have a LabCorp facility near you or would prefer a different option, you can choose to go through Access Medical Labs and use another preferred phlebotomist for the draw (additional fees will apply paid directly to the draw center).
Testing not available in all areas (NY, NJ and RI mostly), though there are options.
This testing is ONLY available in the US.
