Biomarkers

From thyroid panels to cholesterol, hormone tests to vitamin levels, and even cutting-edge markers like cardiac risk scores (PULS test/SmartVascular Dx), NDs can access a full menu of evidence-based blood, urine and stool biomarkers—always based on your unique story and health goals.

Lab tests ordered by NDs in BC are out-of-pocket—even if the same test is “covered” when run by your GP. This gives you the autonomy to explore your health, but does mean each biomarker (TSH, iron, vitamin D, CRP, etc.) has a separate charge. We always outline the costs upfront—no surprises at checkout.

You’ve got options! We can give you a lab requisition to use at any LifeLabs location, or book an in-clinic blood draw here at Gravity. If you choose the in-office route, there’s an additional phlebotomy fee for the hands-on care and convenience.

Absolutely—along with standard labs, we can order PULS/SmartVascular Dx for cardiac risk, detailed hormone/fertility panels, autoimmune screens, and many microbiology cultures (rectal, vaginal, urethral, skin, fungal, etc). If it’s science-backed, we’ll talk you through it.

Yes! Only validated, science-backed, and clinically useful tests are offered. We won’t recommend unproven or “fad” biomarkers—you get the best of conventional and integrative medicine in one place (without the snake oil).

Absolutely. You have full say over which biomarkers you want to investigate, and we’ll help guide you based on best practice, relevance, and your health history—not one-size-fits-all packages.

Definitely! Whether you need a “tune-up” panel (cholesterol, glucose, iron, vitamin D), a fertility workup, or in-depth autoimmune screening, we’ll build a custom, cost-transparent plan that covers what’s medically essential for you.
