Lab Analysis
The path to wellness lies within the blood. As stated in Leviticus 17:14, “the life of every creature is in its blood, and that blood belongs to Him.” At Advanced Practice Simplified, we honor this principle by partnering with Optimal DX, whose mission is to enhance lives through advanced lab analysis.
Did you know that a simple ferritin level not only reveals iron stores but can also provide critical insights into liver function? In addition, in postmenopausal women, a 1% increase above the optimal norm in ferritin levels can correlate with a 4% increase in heart disease risk (The Menopause Book). This highlights the importance of lab analysis in identifying “beyond-the-basics” indicators, enabling early intervention to prevent disease and promote wellness.
Fasting insulin levels are a more accurate predictor of insulin resistance and potential diabetes compared to hemoglobin A1C, which can be influenced by other variables. Additionally, did you know that white blood cell percentages—including lymphocytes, neutrophils, eosinophils, monocytes, and basophils—should collectively equal 100%? When these values deviate from their optimal ranges, it may indicate the presence of an unresolved viral or bacterial infection, or even the possibility of an autoimmune condition.
By uncovering these nuanced markers, lab analysis provides critical insights into your health. This proactive approach empowers you to address potential concerns early, preventing them from developing into chronic conditions and enabling you to achieve optimal wellness.
At Advanced Practice Simplified, we believe in proactive care and precision, helping you achieve a life of true wellness. Let’s explore what your labs can reveal to guide your health journey.
