Triglycerides are your body’s energy storage packets — calories saved for later. In excess, they can thicken the blood and drive inflammation, raising heart and metabolic risk. Diet, alcohol, weight, and blood sugar often dictate where this number lands.

Lp(a) is like an LDL particle carrying a sticky extra protein. It can sneak cholesterol into artery walls and build plaque faster. This one’s more about genetics than lifestyle — good to know because high levels can raise lifelong cardiovascular risk even if other lipids look fine.

Cholesterol is the waxy building material your body uses for hormones, cell walls, and bile acids. HDL is the clean‑up crew, carrying cholesterol away from arteries. LDL is the delivery truck, dropping it off — sometimes in places you don’t want. Total cholesterol is the sum of both, giving a big‑picture view of cardiovascular risk.

ApoB‑100 sits on the surface of LDL and other atherogenic particles, acting like an address label guiding them through the bloodstream. Higher ApoB means more cholesterol‑laden particles on the road — and more opportunity for them to park in artery walls.

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the brain’s messenger to the thyroid — the pituitary’s way of saying “speed up” or “slow down.” High TSH usually means the thyroid’s underperforming, while low levels suggest it’s running hot. It’s the control tower signal for your thyroid’s output.

T3 is the thyroid’s active spark plug — the hormone that actually revs up metabolism in your cells. Low T3 can leave you sluggish; high T3 can make you wired. It’s the hormone that turns thyroid talk into action.

T4 is the thyroid’s main product — a storage form of hormone that converts into active T3 as needed. Think of it as the raw fuel reserve. Low amounts suggest an underactive thyroid; high levels point toward overactivity.

Anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibodies mark the immune system mistaking thyroid tissue for an intruder. Elevated levels are the calling card of autoimmune thyroid conditions like Hashimoto’s or Graves’ disease — a sign the body’s defense system has turned inward.

Anti-thyroglobulin (TG) antibodies target thyroglobulin, a protein the thyroid uses to make hormones. When elevated, they often appear alongside anti-TPO in autoimmune disease. It’s another clue pointing to an immune flare against thyroid tissue.

Glucose is your blood’s energy fuel. Fasting glucose shows your baseline control, random glucose captures how you handle surprise deposits, and the oral glucose tolerance test checks how quickly your system clears a heavy sugar load. Together, they reveal how balanced your energy budget really is.

Fasting insulin tells us how hard your pancreas is working to keep glucose in check. We plug it into the HOMA-IR formula to gauge insulin resistance — one of the earliest signs of creeping metabolic dysfunction. High insulin means your body’s pushing harder behind the scenes long before blood sugar starts to rise.

HbA1c tracks how much sugar your red blood cells have carried over the past three months — a long-term snapshot of glucose control. Higher values mean glucose has been hanging around in the bloodstream too long, increasing risk for diabetes and vascular damage.

Uric acid is the end product of purine metabolism — part antioxidant, part troublemaker. When levels climb, it can crystallize in joints (gout) or reflect metabolic overload tied to insulin resistance or fructose excess. A little is fine; too much, and things get prickly.

Anti-Müllerian Hormone reflects your remaining egg supply — a marker of ovarian reserve that gradually declines as perimenopause approaches. Low levels signal that the ovaries are winding down production, helping predict how close you may be to menopause.

Estrogen (estradiol) is the star soloist of reproductive rhythm. In perimenopause, its levels can swing dramatically — high one month, low the next — driving symptoms like hot flashes, cycle changes, and mood shifts. Tracking estrogen helps make sense of those hormonal fluctuations.

Progesterone is the hormone of calm and balance, produced after ovulation. In perimenopause, cycles often skip ovulation, so progesterone can dip too soon — leading to PMS-like moodiness, sleep trouble, or heavy periods. Low progesterone is one of the earliest hormonal clues that perimenopause is underway.

Testosterone supports muscle tone, energy, and libido — and while it often declines gradually with age, perimenopause can make its relative balance with estrogen and progesterone feel exaggerated. Checking it helps explain why energy or drive may not match your younger rhythm.

BAT measures the fraction of testosterone that’s free or loosely bound — the part actually available for action. Elevated BAT can explain symptoms like acne, unwanted hair growth, or irregular cycles, making it a key marker of androgen excess in PCOS.

Prolactin is the hormone that usually rises during breastfeeding, but when elevated outside that context, it can disrupt ovulation and mimic PCOS-like symptoms. Checking PRL helps rule out other causes of irregular cycles and hormonal imbalance — because not all missed periods are PCOS.

Follicle-Stimulating Hormone is the brain’s ovary‑wake‑up call. In menopause, the call gets louder as the ovaries stop responding, making FSH levels climb — a hallmark of the transition.

Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen, and its steady decline in menopause drives most classic symptoms — from hot flashes to bone changes. Low levels confirm the ovaries have taken their final bow.

Testosterone helps maintain muscle tone, energy, and libido. In menopause, levels often dip, sometimes quietly, but enough to affect strength or drive. Checking it helps round out the hormonal picture.

This test checks your urine for signs of infection, then grows any lurking bacteria in a lab to identify the culprit and its antibiotic kryptonite. It’s part detective work, part battle strategy — finding both the villain and the weapon that stops it.

FSH is the ovary’s drill sergeant, commanding follicles to grow. In fertility testing, high FSH can mean the ovaries are struggling to respond, while lower levels suggest a healthier reserve. It’s one of the key signals of how hard your body has to work to get an egg ready.

Estradiol preps the uterus for possible implantation and keeps egg development on track. In fertility testing, abnormally high baseline estradiol can mask poor ovarian reserve, while appropriate levels signal balanced cycles.

Testosterone supports healthy egg maturation in women and sperm production in men. Too little or too much can throw off the reproductive rhythm — impacting ovulation, cycle regularity, and conception chances. It’s the hormone that keeps follicles in fighting form.

Total testosterone measures all testosterone in the bloodstream — both active and bound. Low levels can cause fatigue, low libido, or mood changes, while high levels might point to supplementation or rare endocrine conditions. It’s the big-picture snapshot of your hormonal horsepower.

Bioavailable testosterone reflects the portion of testosterone free or loosely attached to proteins — the fraction that’s actually doing the work. It’s a sharper gauge of true androgen activity, especially helpful when total testosterone looks normal but symptoms suggest otherwise.

Free T measures the unbound, most biologically active fraction of testosterone — the form ready to act on receptors. Even small drops here can impact energy, focus, and libido.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin is the gatekeeper protein that binds testosterone and decides how much stays free. High SHBG can trap testosterone, lowering what’s bioavailable; low SHBG can flood tissues with more active hormone. It’s the hormone traffic controller keeping everything in balance.

Sperm count tallies the total number of sperm in the semen sample. Fewer swimmers can mean fewer opportunities for conception, with stress, hormones, heat, or toxins often behind the slowdown.

Concentration measures how densely packed the sperm are in each millilitre of semen. A higher count boosts the odds of one making it to the finish line.

Motility is all about movement — how many sperm are swimming and how efficiently they’re moving forward. Good motility means better chances of reaching and fertilizing the egg.

Morphology grades sperm by shape and structure. Ideally, most should have a streamlined head and strong tail. Too many with misshapen features can make the fertilization race a tough one.

Liquefaction measures how quickly semen transitions from a gel-like state to a liquid. It should fully liquefy within about an hour to allow sperm free movement.

Viscosity describes the thickness of the semen. Balanced viscosity ensures sperm can swim efficiently; overly thick semen can slow their progress.

Volume is the total amount of semen in a single ejaculation. Normal volume provides enough fluid to carry and protect sperm on their journey. Low volume can reduce delivery potential.

Appearance refers to semen’s colour and consistency. A typical sample is pearly and uniform. Discolouration or unusual texture can signal infection or other reproductive health issues.

Mercury often comes from fish, fillings, or industrial exposure. It binds tightly in tissues and can impair brain, nerve, and kidney function — a small element with outsized toxicity.

Arsenic exposure usually stems from contaminated water, rice, or certain herbicides. Chronic buildup can strain liver function, disrupt hormones, and increase cancer risk.

Cadmium lurks in tobacco, batteries, and industrial pollution. It accumulates slowly in kidneys and bones, weakening both over time.

Lead exposure most often comes from old paint, pipes, or contaminated soil. Even low levels can affect cognition, mood, and blood pressure — especially concerning in children.

Cobalt is needed in trace amounts for vitamin B12 metabolism, but too much (often from metal implants or industrial exposure) can damage the heart and thyroid.

Antimony shows up in flame retardants and textiles. High exposure can irritate the lungs, skin, and digestive tract — a rarely suspected but potent irritant.

Thallium exposure is uncommon but toxic — historically found in rodenticides. It targets nerves, hair follicles, and the digestive system, making even small doses impactful.

Volatile Organic Compounds: Benzene, Toluene, Styrene, Xylene
These airborne chemicals come from fuels, paints, and industrial emissions. They can irritate lungs, stress the liver, and in some cases increase cancer risk — small molecules with a big environmental footprint.

Phthalates are plastic softeners found in packaging, flooring, and cosmetics. They’re notorious hormone disruptors, often linked to reproductive effects and metabolic changes.

Parabens are preservatives used in many personal care products. They mimic estrogen in the body, potentially influencing hormone balance and raising questions about long-term exposure risks.

This dual approach tests both your environment and your biology. Building inspections uncover hidden mold sources, while body testing looks for mycotoxin exposure and its effects on immune, neurological, and detox systems — connecting the dots between place and physiology.

Screens stool for bacteria, viruses, and parasites behind acute gastrointestinal upset. Pinpoints the pathogen so treatment is targeted instead of trial-and-error.

Measures calprotectin protein from white blood cells in stool — high levels mean intestinal inflammation, helping distinguish inflammatory bowel disease from functional disorders.

Detects antibodies against tissue transglutaminase — strongly associated with celiac disease, signalling that the immune system is attacking gluten-exposed gut tissue.

Your gut is more like a bustling city than a simple stomach — packed with bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and chemical messengers all shaping digestion, immunity, and even mood. This test takes a single stool sample and runs a full genomic sweep, identifying not just the residents but what they’re up to.

It screens for:

• Commensal Bacteria – Measures levels of beneficial species that support nutrient absorption, vitamin production, and immune health.

• Opportunistic Bacteria – Flags microbes that can overgrow and cause IBS‑like symptoms, inflammation, or recurrent infections.

• Viruses – Detects viral strains that can disrupt gut function, from transient irritants to persistent troublemakers.

• Parasites – Identifies protozoa or helminths linked to diarrhea, pain, or nutrient loss.

• Candida – Spots yeast overgrowth in the gut, a potential driver of bloating, fatigue, and sugar cravings.

• Antibiotic Resistance Genes – Maps resistance signatures in your microbiota, giving insight into future treatment challenges.

Beyond pathogens, it also measures other gut health biomarkers — such as inflammation markers, immune responses, digestive enzymes, and short‑chain fatty acid profiles — delivering a complete blueprint of your microbial ecosystem.

Detects antibodies showing past or current exposure. Useful for screening, though it can’t confirm active infection.

Identifies H. pylori antigens from active infection in stool — a direct indicator the bacteria are present now.

Measures breakdown of a urea drink into labeled carbon dioxide by H. pylori enzymes. Quick, non‑invasive, and highly accurate for detecting active infection.

Dual‑Energy X‑ray Absorptiometry
The gold standard scan for assessing bone density. DEXA uses low‑dose X‑rays to measure bone mineral content across key sites, giving early clues about bone loss or osteoporosis risk — long before fractures appear.

Combining your BMD results with factors like age, sex, and weight, this score estimates your likelihood of breaking a bone in the next decade. Think of it as your bone insurance rating — the lower, the better.

A radiation‑free alternative or complement to DEXA, ultrasound estimates bone quality by measuring how sound waves travel through bone. It helps track changes in density, especially at weight‑bearing sites like the hip and lower spine.

Breaks down how muscle mass is distributed across your body — arms, legs, and trunk. It’s a precise way to spot imbalances, track training results, or monitor muscle loss over time.

Identifies fat stored deep around your organs, the most metabolically risky fat type. High VAT is linked to inflammation, insulin resistance, and cardiovascular disease — making it a critical metric to monitor.

Calculates what proportion of your total body weight is fat. A key metric for fitness, metabolic health, and performance — higher percentages can signal increased risk for metabolic disease.

Measures the total amount of fat tissue in your body. Useful for tracking changes in nutrition or exercise, and for identifying if weight gain is coming from fat rather than muscle.

VO₂ Max measures the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise — the gold standard for cardiovascular fitness. Using a mask and graded workout, it tracks how your heart, lungs, and muscles perform under stress. Higher numbers mean better endurance, faster recovery, and a stronger engine overall.

This test analyzes chemical tags on your DNA to estimate your biological age — how old your body actually behaves compared to your calendar age. It assesses the pace of aging across 11 organ systems, giving a snapshot of how quickly (or gracefully) you’re moving through time. Perfect for anyone chasing longevity, not just birthdays.

This advanced blood test analyzes a panel of cardiovascular and inflammatory biomarkers — including HDL, HbA1c, IL‑16, CTACK, MCP‑3, Eotaxin, Fas & Fas Ligand, and HGF — to calculate your personalized 5‑year heart attack risk and “Heart Age.” It highlights early arterial inflammation and metabolic stress, offering a roadmap for lowering risk through lifestyle, nutrition, or treatment before trouble begins.

This quick, non‑invasive CT scan detects and measures tiny calcium deposits in the coronary arteries — early evidence of plaque buildup. The CAC score quantifies your long‑term risk of heart attack and helps guide prevention before symptoms ever start. The lower the score, the smoother the arteries.
