Blood Strong

A1c Test

Hemoglobin A1c, is a blood test that provides information about a person's average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It measures the percentage of hemoglobin (a protein in red blood cells) that is coated with sugar (glycated). This test is primarily used to monitor and screen for diabetes and assess how well diabetes management plans are working over time.  A higher A1c level indicates poorer blood sugar control, which may increase the risk of diabetes-related complications.  

Cholesterol Test

Cholesterol testing helps assess your risk of developing cardiovascular diseases possibly leading to heart attack and stroke. 

Triglyceride Test

A primary form of fat in your blood that can also increase the risk of heart disease if levels are too high. It can also lead to damage to organs such as liver and pancreas. It's usually done after fasting for at least 12 hours to provide accurate results.   

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Test

It's known as "good" cholesterol because it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries, lowering the risk of heart disease. 

Calculated LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Test

Often called "bad" cholesterol where high levels can increase the risk of heart disease. It can also lead to damage to organs such as liver and pancreas. 

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) Test

TSH is the most sensitive marker of thyroid health. It’s released from the pituitary gland in the brain and acts on the thyroid gland and its hormones, Free Triiodothyronine (FT3) and Free Thyroxine (FT4). Thyroid hormones are closely tied to metabolic processes, body temperature regulation and nervous system development. 

Vitamin D Test

Vitamin D, often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a crucial role in several important functions within the body: 

• Bone Health
•  Immune System Support
•  Muscle Function 
•  Cell Growth and Differentiation 
•  Mood Regulation 

 Estradiol Test

Estradiol is a type of estrogen hormone and is the most potent naturally occurring estrogen in humans. It plays several important roles in both male and female bodies: 

•  Female Reproductive System 
•  Bone Health 
•  Mood and Behavior 
•  Cardiovascular Health 
•  Male Reproductive System 

A1c Test

• High A1c (Diabetes): Increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, blurry vision, weight loss.
• Low A1c (Hypoglycemia): Shakiness, sweating, confusion, dizziness.

Cholesterol Test

• High Cholesterol: No direct symptoms, but can lead to heart disease.
• Low Cholesterol: Possible symptoms include mood changes and fatigue.

Triglyceride Test

• High Triglycerides: Increased risk of heart disease, pancreatitis.
• Low Triglycerides: Usually no symptoms, but can be related to malnutrition.

HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein) Test

• Low HDL: Increased risk of heart disease.
• High HDL: Usually no symptoms but very high levels can be a concern.

Calculated LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) Test

• High LDL: Increased risk of heart disease.
• Low LDL: Usually no symptoms.

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone) Test

• High TSH (Hypothyroidism): Fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, dry skin, hair loss.
• Low TSH (Hyperthyroidism): Anxiety, weight loss, feeling hot, sweating, fast heartbeat.

Vitamin D Test

• Low Vitamin D: Bone pain, muscle weakness, increased risk of fractures.
• High Vitamin D: Nausea, vomiting, weakness, and kidney problems.

 Estradiol  Test

• High  Estradiol:  Ovarian Overstimulation,  Obesity,  Liver Disease,  Hyperthyroidism 
• Low  Estradiol:  Menopause or Perimenopause,  Hypogonadism,  Eating Disorders, Chronic Illness or Stress
