Why are blood tests important in optimizing your health?

Blood tests

Understanding your health goes beyond how you feel day to day. True progress towards optimal living begins when we address the root causes of our health issues. At Expand Labs, we specialize in functional blood tests as part of our personalized program, designed to give you comprehensive information about your health's key performance indicators (KPIs).

Annual blood tests and advanced diagnostics are the first line of defense in detecting health problems before they get worse. Whether you suffer from a chronic condition or are simply determined to prevent potential health problems, these essential tests give you the information you need to take proactive steps toward optimal wellness.

Essential blood tests for holistic health

Our personalized program includes a series of blood tests, each designed to focus on specific aspects of health:

Essential Nutrients: Micronutrients like vitamin D and magnesium are essential for optimal bodily function. Deficiencies can lead to symptoms like fatigue, poor sleep, and even kidney damage.

Complete blood count and organ health markers: This test measures vital blood characteristics to detect disorders such as anemia, infections, and clotting problems. Liver and kidney enzyme levels are also tested to understand their function.

Stress Markers: Hormones like testosterone and cortisol are the body's messengers that affect everything from mood to weight.

Metabolic markers: These markers help understand how your body is turning food into energy. They include cholesterol, triglycerides, and HbA1C, a marker not only for blood glucose but also for overall oxidation in the body.

Inflammatory markers: Chronic inflammation can lead to a number of problems, including heart and brain disease. Tests like hsCRP give a direct look at your inflammation levels.

What happens after the test? After receiving your results, your doctor will review them with you during your consultation. From there, it’s time to form a treatment plan and take action, if necessary, in areas like diet, exercise, stress management, sleep habits, and more. At Expand Labs, we advise you on the use of innovative technologies like cryotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, red light therapy, and intravenous therapy/supplements, if needed – to help you optimize your health based on your unique lifestyle and biomarker profile.
