Biometric Screenings

Lab Tests

Lipid Panel – measures lipids/fats (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, HDL ratio, triglycerides) in the blood. These factors are essential, but high levels increase the risk of heart and vascular disease.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) – measures enzymes, minerals, electrolytes, proteins, glucose and blood byproducts which reveal organ function and overall health/nutrition.

Complete Blood Count (CBC) – measures the health of red blood cells that carry oxygen. The main function of white blood cells is to fight infection.

Fasting Glucose – this is included in the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel or can be added as a separate test when needed.

A1C – measures the average glucose level over 12 weeks; an important screening tool for individuals at risk for diabetes.

PSA – screening test for prostate cancer in men over age 50.

Lipid Panel plus Glucose – measures lipids/fats and fasting glucose. Specifics listed above.

Additional Tests Available

All labs are performed with venipuncture to ensure accuracy of results.
