Lab Work Tells Your Story
If you aren't feeling light, lean and energetic, don't allow your doctor to tell you everything is fine. Normal ranges and optimal ranges are different. We strive for optimal.
​
Lab work can be very expensive. Yes, insurance covers some of the basic tests but many will not cover tests like TPO antibodies, vitamin D3, etc. With this in mind, we want our recommendations to be meaningful to uncover your current state, symptoms and experiences.
The list below although not exhaustive is a list of the many tests available to help you figure out your story and how to proceed effectively moving forward. A few basic panels and tests are more than enough to get started though.
