Metabolic Pro Risk Profiling

What this test measures

The Metabolic Pro Panel provides a comprehensive evaluation of metabolic function by assessing how the body regulates energy, processes nutrients, and manages inflammation. It measures glucose and insulin regulation to determine how effectively the body maintains stable blood sugar levels and prevents insulin resistance, a key factor in metabolic dysfunction and disease risk. In addition to glucose metabolism, the panel examines lipid metabolism, offering a deeper look at how fats are transported, stored, and utilized—critical factors in cardiovascular and metabolic health. Kidney function is also assessed, as the kidneys play a vital role in filtering waste and maintaining hydration, both essential for metabolic stability. Chronic inflammation and oxidative stress markers help identify underlying inflammatory activity, which can contribute to insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and overall metabolic decline. Hormonal balance is another key focus, as thyroid and adrenal hormones regulate metabolic rate, energy production, and the body's ability to adapt to stress. Finally, the panel evaluates key nutrient and cellular energy markers, offering insights into mitochondrial function and metabolic resilience. By examining these interconnected systems together, the Advanced Metabolic Panel provides a comprehensive picture of metabolic efficiency, helping to detect imbalances early and guide targeted interventions for long-term health and vitality.

Metabolic

Hemoglobin A1C
Hemoglobin A1c (often simply referred to as A1c) measures the average blood sugar (glucose) levels over the past 2-3 months. It does so by gauging the percentage of hemoglobin — a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen — that's coated with sugar. The A1c test provides insight into long-term glucose control and metabolic health.
VLDL Size Percentile
The VLDL Size Percentile measures where an individual's average size of very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) particles ranks relative to a reference population. VLDL particles are important because they transport triglycerides from the liver to adipose tissue and muscle. The size of these particles can impact their metabolic effects and potential contribution to cardiovascular disease.
Albumin
Albumin is the most abundant protein in blood plasma, making up about 50% of total serum proteins. It plays several crucial roles, including maintaining osmotic pressure (helping to keep fluid within the bloodstream rather than leaking into tissues), transporting hormones, vitamins, and drugs, and serving as a buffer to maintain pH levels. Abnormal albumin can indicate malnutrition, liver or kidney disease, or a digestive inflammatory condition (Crohn’s or Celiac) resulting in malabsorption.
Protein
The total protein in your blood refers to the combined amount of different proteins found in your bloodstream. Among these proteins, albumin and globulin are the most common. These proteins have important roles in your body, such as transporting various substances, helping enzymes work properly, producing antibodies to fight off infections, aiding in blood clotting, and regulating the balance of fluids in your body.
BUN
BUN, or blood urea nitrogen, is a biomarker that is used to evaluate kidney function. The kidneys filter waste products from the blood, including urea, which is a byproduct of protein metabolism. When the kidneys are functioning properly, they remove urea from the blood and excrete it in the urine. Elevated levels of BUN in the blood, therefore, can be an indication that the kidneys are not working properly.
Creatinine
Creatinine is a waste product that is produced by muscle metabolism and excreted by the kidneys. It is commonly used as a biomarker to assess kidney function. Elevated levels of creatinine can indicate that the kidneys are not functioning properly, which can be caused by a variety of conditions such as chronic kidney disease, dehydration, or medication-induced kidney toxicity.
Glucose
Glucose is considered an important biomarker because it is the primary source of energy for the body's cells. Glucose levels can indicate how well the body is able to manage blood sugar and can also be an important marker of metabolic health and the overall function of the endocrine system.
Lactic Acid
Lactic acid is produced in muscle cells and red blood cells and is a byproduct of intense exercise or energy production under low oxygen conditions. High levels of lactic acid can lead to lactic acidosis, a condition often associated with conditions like sepsis, liver failure, or uncontrolled diabetes. It's an important marker for evaluating cellular oxygenation and metabolic status.
RBC Magnesium
This test measures the level of magnesium within red blood cells, which is a more accurate reflection of body magnesium levels than a standard serum magnesium test. Magnesium is crucial for muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, and blood pressure regulation. Low levels can lead to muscle cramps, seizures, and irregular heart rhythms.
Uric Acid
Uric acid is the final product of the metabolic breakdown of specific DNA components within your body. Your kidneys play a crucial role in eliminating this uric acid. Elevated levels of uric acid can indicate an imbalance in your body's antioxidant defense system, potentially leading to oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a condition in which harmful molecules called free radicals can accumulate, causing damage to your cells and DNA. This imbalance is concerning because it has been associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Monitoring and managing your uric acid levels is important to help maintain a healthy balance in your body's antioxidant system and reduce the risk of oxidative stress-related health problems.
Total Cholesterol
Total cholesterol is a measure of the total amount of cholesterol in your blood, which includes LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, and triglycerides. In functional medicine, cholesterol is not just viewed in isolation but in context with other markers and the patient's overall health. Cholesterol is essential for building cell membranes, producing hormones, and other functions.
LDL Chol Calc (NIH)
LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as “bad cholesterol”, is considered a biomarker for cardiovascular disease risk. Elevated levels of LDL are associated with a higher risk of developing heart disease and stroke.
HDL Cholesterol
HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) cholesterol, often referred to as "good cholesterol," plays a vital role in cholesterol metabolism. HDL helps transport cholesterol from the arteries and other parts of the body back to the liver, where it's processed and removed from the body. Higher levels of HDL are associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Triglycerides
Triglycerides are a type of fat (lipid) found in the blood. The food you eat gets converted into glucose for immediate energy use or stored as triglycerides in fat cells. Hormones regulate the release of triglycerides from fat tissue to meet energy needs in between meals. Elevated triglyceride levels is a strong indicator of poor metabolic health.
HS C-reactive Protein
HsCRP (High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein) is a protein produced by the liver in response to inflammation. High levels of HsCRP are a risk factor for heart diseases, as they might indicate inflammation in the arteries of the heart. It's often used alongside other tests to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease.
Sed Rate
Sed Rate (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) measures how quickly red blood cells settle at the bottom of a test tube. A faster-than-normal rate may indicate inflammation in the body, which can be caused by a variety of conditions including infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. It's a non-specific test and is often used alongside other tests to diagnose or monitor inflammatory diseases.
FreeT4
Free T4 measures the unbound thyroxine hormone in your blood. It's crucial for understanding thyroid function and metabolism. This test helps diagnose thyroid disorders and is often used to monitor treatment for thyroid disease.
BUN/Creatinine Ratio
The Blood Urea Nitrogen to Creatinine Ratio (BUN/Creatinine Ratio) is a calculated value that compares the levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine in the blood. BUN and creatinine are both waste products produced by the body as a result of normal metabolism, particularly in the breakdown of proteins. The BUN/Creatinine Ratio can provide insights into kidney function and hydration status. An optimal BUN-to-creatinine ratio suggests that your kidneys are working well and effectively removing waste products from your body. This is a positive sign for your kidney health.
Serum Cortisol
Serum cortisol is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands and is essential for stress response, metabolism, and immune function. Measuring cortisol levels can help diagnose disorders of the adrenal gland. It's also a key indicator of overall stress levels and metabolic health.
Insulin
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels in the body. When you consume carbohydrates, your body breaks them down into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. Insulin helps control the amount of glucose in the blood by facilitating its uptake into cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for future use. Insulin measurements can provide important information about various aspects of an individual's health, particularly related to glucose metabolism and diabetes.
Homocysteine
Homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood, and high levels are linked to a higher risk of coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. Elevated homocysteine levels can be due to a variety of factors, including dietary deficiencies, genetic disorders, or certain medications. It's a marker of cardiovascular health and metabolic function.
TSH
TSH is a hormone that stimulates the thyroid gland to produce hormones. It's a key indicator of thyroid health, with abnormal levels suggesting hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. TSH tests are commonly used to diagnose and monitor thyroid disorders.
Leptin
Butyrate, or butyric acid, is a short-chain fatty acid that is a critical energy source for the cells lining the colon and plays a pivotal role in maintaining intestinal health. It is produced by the bacterial fermentation of dietary fibers within the large intestine. Beyond its local effects in the gut, butyrate possesses anti-inflammatory properties. High levels of butyrate are linked to a healthy gut microbiome, while low levels may indicate poor gut health and have been associated with increased inflammation and risk of colon cancer.
Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D)
Vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) is the primary biomarker of vitamin D status. It is synthesized in the skin through sunlight exposure and absorbed from dietary sources. Vitamin D is crucial for the regulation of calcium and phosphate metabolism, processes vital for energy production and skeletal health. It enhances the intestinal absorption of calcium, essential for proper muscle function and energy generation in cells. vitamin D is integral to immune regulation. It modulates both innate and adaptive immune responses, reducing the risk of infections and immune-mediated disorders. Furthermore, vitamin D influences pancreatic beta-cell function, impacting insulin secretion and glucose metabolism. Deficiencies in vitamin D can lead to metabolic disorders such as bone mineralization defects, impaired glucose metabolism, and increased risk of metabolic syndrome, highlighting its integral role in maintaining metabolic health and preventing chronic conditions.

The Science

Metabolic health is influenced by hormonal regulation, nutrient availability, inflammation, and cellular energy production. The body relies on a delicate balance of glucose control, lipid metabolism, and mitochondrial function to maintain energy levels and prevent dysfunction. Factors like insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and nutrient deficiencies can disrupt these systems, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and hormonal imbalances. The Metabolic Pro Panel helps identify these disruptions early, offering a data-driven approach to optimizing metabolism, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall health. By addressing imbalances through diet, lifestyle modifications, and targeted interventions, individuals can enhance energy, longevity, and metabolic resilience.
