Lab Markers for Metabolic Health
Evaluating overall metabolic health involves examining several key markers through comprehensive blood panels. Prior to testing, ensure the blood draw is done in a fasted state (12-14 hours), stay well-hydrated, avoid strenuous exercise for a day or two before, and consult about any medications or supplements that may need to be skipped. Also, try to avoid getting your blood drawn on particularly stressful days or when you are feeling unwell.
Combining these results with other markers such as kidney function, thyroid status, iron levels, and overall blood cell health, alongside symptom evaluation and current medications, helps create a customized protocol for nutrition, lifestyle, and potential supplements or medications. To get a detailed review of your results, you can order your own comprehensive panel and further inquire about these markers.
