At Keyspan, we take a proactive approach to interpreting lab results. Unlike the traditional medical model, which flags biomarkers only when they fall outside conventional "normal" ranges, we use a tighter value scale to detect and address potential health issues earlier. This enables us to support your well-being before conditions become more serious.

True wellness starts at the cellular level, and that’s why we’ve designed a comprehensive set of health panels to give you the deepest possible insights into your body’s performance, longevity, and wellness. By testing a variety of biomarkers, our panels offer a snapshot of your health and identify potential areas of improvement. Whether you're focused on metabolism, muscle health, cognitive function, or hormone balance, our tests provide the data you need to support your health journey.

Metabolism & Weight Control

Your metabolism plays a huge role in managing energy, weight, and overall health. Our metabolism panel evaluates key biomarkers to help you better understand your body's metabolic function:

• Glucose: The primary energy source for your body, glucose levels indicate how well your body manages sugar and are essential for assessing diabetes risk.
• Hemoglobin A1c: Reflects your average blood sugar levels over 2-3 months, providing insights into long-term glucose management and diabetes risk.
• Cholesterol (Total, HDL, LDL): These fats offer insights into heart health, with HDL as the "good" cholesterol and LDL as the "bad" cholesterol, contributing to cardiovascular risks.
• Triglycerides: Excess blood fats that indicate metabolic health and heart disease risk.
• ApoB: A protein marker indicating LDL particle levels, higher values suggest greater cardiovascular risk.
• Insulin: Regulates glucose; insulin resistance or low production can lead to elevated blood sugar and diabetes.

Bone & Muscle Health

Maintaining strong bones and muscles is essential for longevity and vitality, particularly as we age. Our bone and muscle health panel measures:

• Calcium: The foundational mineral for bone strength and muscle function, essential for skeletal integrity and muscle performance.
• Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy): Promotes calcium absorption, bone growth, immune function, and muscle health.

Strength & Endurance

Physical strength and endurance depend on various factors, from hormone levels to stress management. Our strength and endurance panel checks:

• Testosterone (Male & Female): A key hormone for muscle strength, bone density, and reproductive health in both men and women.
• Cortisol: The body’s stress hormone, elevated levels can negatively affect muscle tissue and endurance.
• Albumin: A protein that reflects nutritional status and muscle health, low levels can indicate chronic health conditions.

Cognition

Cognitive health is essential for maintaining sharpness and mental clarity as you age. Our cognition panel focuses on key nutrients:

• Magnesium: Vital for brain and nervous system function, influencing everything from mood to neurotransmitter regulation.
• Folate (Vitamin B9): Supports DNA repair and cognitive function, playing a critical role in mental well-being.
• Vitamin B12: Essential for nerve health and cognitive processes, involved in the formation of red blood cells.

Oxygen Transfer & Blood Function

Healthy blood and efficient oxygen transfer are critical for every aspect of your well-being. This panel evaluates:

• RDW: Measures the variability in red blood cell size, with higher levels potentially indicating anemia or oxygen transport issues.
• Iron: Essential for hemoglobin production, supporting the oxygen-carrying capacity of red blood cells.
• Hemoglobin (Male & Female): A measure of your blood’s ability to carry oxygen from your lungs to your body, with deficiencies leading to anemia.

Electrolytes & Fluid Balance

Maintaining the right balance of electrolytes is critical for cellular function, nerve conduction, and muscle contraction. This panel monitors:

• Potassium: A crucial electrolyte for heart function, nerve signaling, and muscle contractions, helping to maintain a healthy heart rhythm.

Inflammation

Chronic inflammation is often a silent contributor to many long-term health issues. Our inflammation panel measures:

• C-Reactive Protein (CRP): An indicator of inflammation, high levels can signal increased cardiovascular disease risk.
• Homocysteine: An amino acid linked to heart health, high levels are associated with cardiovascular disease and inflammation.

Liver Function & Toxicity

Your liver is your body’s detox powerhouse. Our liver panel evaluates the enzymes that reveal the health and functionality of this vital organ:

• GGT, AST, ALT: Elevated levels of these liver enzymes can signal liver damage or stress from conditions like fatty liver disease or toxin overload.

Hormones

Hormones influence nearly every aspect of your health, from metabolism to reproduction. Our hormone panel tracks:

• Estradiol (Male & Female): Crucial for reproductive health, bone strength, and heart health in both men and women.
• Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Regulates metabolism, energy levels, brain function, and heart health. Abnormal levels can result in fatigue, weight changes, and more.
