Not sure where to begin? This is your answer — a meaningful functional baseline covering metabolism, cardiovascular health, nutrients, inflammation, and thyroid.
Unlike large functional testing programs where results are reviewed by an unknown provider on a team, you know exactly who is interpreting your labs. At $199, this is the most accessible way to get a real functional medicine perspective on your health — reviewed with the same care as any other panel in my practice.
This panel covers the most clinically important markers across metabolism, cardiovascular health, nutrients, inflammation, and thyroid function — a real functional baseline without the full comprehensive workup. It's also a natural first step before moving to a more targeted panel; once we see your essentials, we'll know exactly where to look deeper.
Evaluates immune function, red blood cell health, and platelet levels — the foundation of any blood workup.
Kidney function, liver health, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance — essential context for everything else in this panel.
Your 3-month blood sugar picture plus fasting insulin — an early indicator of insulin resistance, often showing up years before blood sugar becomes a problem on standard testing.
Iron deficiency is one of the most common drivers of fatigue, brain fog, hair loss, and poor exercise tolerance. Ferritin in particular is rarely tested and frequently low.
Essential for energy, neurological function, and DNA repair. Low B12 and folate are extremely common and easy to miss on standard panels.
The intracellular form of magnesium — far more meaningful than serum. Low magnesium drives anxiety, poor sleep, muscle tension, constipation, and fatigue in a huge percentage of patients.
Your baseline cardiovascular snapshot covering total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides — a starting point for cardiovascular risk assessment.
High sensitivity C-reactive protein measures systemic inflammation — one of the most important predictors of chronic disease, cardiovascular risk, and immune dysfunction.
Baseline thyroid function including TSH and T4 — a starting point for anyone with unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or mood issues, with a clear upgrade path to the Complete Thyroid Panel if deeper investigation is needed.
Perfect for first-time functional medicine patients, annual health checks, or anyone who wants to start somewhere accessible and build from there.
