Initial Labs?

[Abid Husain]

Hello Everyone!

I was curious what labs you are all running initially on healthy patients looking for performance optimization?   And which ones you are following?

Any favorites that have been helpful?

I run an initial IGF-1 but dont follow it, sex hormones panel, thyroid hormone panel, vitamin D, DHEA-s, Comp, CBCwith Diff.  Cleveland heart labs inflammatory  panel ( ADMA, myeloperoxidase, F2Isoprostane, Ox LDL) and detailed lipids with particl size.

I am considering adding an Omega check which gives omega 3 and 6 metabolite levels.  As well as IL-6 and 8oHDG.

Any  thought or additions?  Maybe it’s time to come up with a “cellular health” panel?

Thank you in advance,

Abid

hey Abid

 

Great idea on the cellular health panel;)

The one you do sounds very thorough!  Mine is the same but I don’t do the Cleveland Heart on most new patients unless they have DM/CAD/MS etc.  I sometimes add a morning cortisol, insulin, folate/B12, iron and ferritin.

Let’s keep the chat on the forums alive!
