The CardioMetabolic Test kit includes the following six tests:
- Insulin (Fasting) (IN),
- High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP),
- Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c),
- Triglycerides (TG),
- Total Cholesterol (CH),
- HDL Cholesterol (HDL).
Test Result: You will receive your test result 3-5 working days after the laboratory receives your sample. You will see your hormone levels in graphics and numbers on your test results. You will also see laboratory comments by a hormone specialist PhD doctor. In the comments, you will find an analysis of your hormone levels and what to do next.
- Collect samples from the comfort of your home and post them to our lab.
- The test must be used within 12 months after the purchase date.
- The test kit includes a laboratory fee: no additional laboratory cost or tax.
- Customers are responsible for shipping their samples to the laboratory.
The Cardio Metabolic test offers a clinically relevant evaluation to help define risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), progression toward Type 2 Diabetes, and inflammation. It measures lipoprotein size and density, cardiovascular risk stratification, triglycerides and traditional cholesterol screening.
It is recommended to take this test if you:
- Have a family history of heart disease or diabetes
- Have been diagnosed with heart disease or diabetes
- Are already taking cholesterol-lowering medications
- Have been diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome (high blood pressure)
- Are overweight
Female Metabolic Syndrome hormone deficiency symptoms:
- Blood pressure high
- Hair- increased facial and body
- Numbness - feet or hands
- Triglycerides elevated
- Weight gain- waist
Male Metabolic Syndrome Hormone Deficiency Symptoms:
- Blood pressure high
- Cholesterol high
- Depressed
- Dizzy spells
- Erections decreased
- Irritable
- Muscle size decreased
- Muscle soreness
- Numbness - feet or hands
- Sugar carvings
- Triglycerides elevated
- Weight gain – waist
The CardioMetabolic Test kit is essential for several reasons:
- Cardiovascular Health Assessment: It provides a comprehensive evaluation of cardiovascular health by measuring factors like lipoprotein size, density, and traditional cholesterol markers (Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol). This information helps in assessing the risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
- Diabetes Risk Evaluation: The test includes parameters like Insulin (Fasting), Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and Triglycerides, which are crucial in understanding the risk of Type 2 Diabetes and its progression. Elevated levels of these markers may indicate a higher likelihood of developing diabetes or metabolic issues.
- Inflammation Screening: High-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) is a key marker for inflammation. Elevated levels of hs-CRP can signal inflammation, which is associated with various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases.
- Metabolic Syndrome Detection: The test helps identify metabolic syndrome, which is characterized by a cluster of conditions such as high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides, and obesity. It aids in assessing the risk factors and symptoms associated with Metabolic Syndrome, offering insights into hormonal deficiencies in both men and women.
- Personal Health Monitoring: For individuals with a family history of heart disease diabetes, or those already diagnosed with these conditions, the CardioMetabolic Test serves as a valuable tool for monitoring and understanding their health status. It's particularly beneficial for those on cholesterol-lowering medications, overweight individuals, or those diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome.
- Convenient and Informative: The test can be performed conveniently at home using blood spot samples, offering privacy and ease of use. The results are delivered with graphical representation and numeric values, accompanied by expert comments and analysis by a hormone specialist PhD doctor, aiding in better understanding and interpretation of the results.
- Timely Insight and Actionable Information: Timely detection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and inflammation allows for proactive measures and lifestyle changes. This can include dietary adjustments, exercise routines, or medical interventions as recommended by healthcare providers based on the test results.
- Validated and Comprehensive Assessment: The test covers a range of essential markers validated for their role in cardiovascular health, diabetes risk, and inflammation, providing a comprehensive picture of an individual's metabolic and cardiovascular well-being.
By analyzing these specific biomarkers, the CardioMetabolic Test becomes a pivotal tool in assessing overall health status, identifying potential risks, and guiding individuals toward appropriate interventions or preventive measures to promote a healthier lifestyle.
