1) THE FIRST STEP TO FIGURing OUT WHAT IS GOING ON INSIDE YOUR BODY, IS by GETTING COMPREHENSIVE BLOOD WORK.
Sure, the standard stuff you “should” be getting checked each year by your primary care physician is a good start, but most people don’t even get that done and almost nobody gets an extensive lab panel like our custom ReNew Life Rx Comprehensive Lab Panel™.
ReNew Life Rx Comprehensive Lab Panel™ you are ordering includes over 10 different hormonal markers (unique for men and women) along with all of the regular health testing you might get done with your primary care physician.
The exciting news is that this lab panel traditionally would cost over $1,300.00, but because of our relationship with LabCorp™, we are able to provide this for only $499.00.
2) THE SECOND STEP IS GETTING TESTED!
Once you have purchased your ReNew Life Rx Comprehensive Lab Panel™, we will need you to fill out a brief Health History Questionnaire in order to make sure the lab draw process goes smooth and even more importantly, that we are able to give you the most accurate feedback what your results actually mean.
Within 24 hours of purchasing your ReNew Life RX Comprehensive Lab Panel™, we will send you an email with your lab requisition form and directions on how to find to the closest LabCorp™ to you. Additionally, we will also include some general information for you to follow the day of the lab draw (for example if your lab work requires fasting). The lab draw process is easy and usually takes about 15 mins to complete.
3) THE FINAL STEP IS A FOLLOW-UP CONSULTATION WITH YOUR PERSONALIZED RESULTS
Once you complete the simple lab draw at one of our LabCorp™ partnered facilities, your blood work will be assessed by the world’s leading health care diagnostic company in order to analyze your blood panel request. Because our panel is so extensive, it generally takes 4-5 business days for your results to come back and be reviewed by one of our ReNew Life Rx Doctors.
After your lab test results have been reviewed and assessment has been made, we will contact you to schedule a call so we can review your results and go over personalized solutions to help fix any hormonal issues.
The one we all have heard about, but there is still lots of confusion. What is “normal”? What is “optimal”? What is actually best for me? Who should I talk to about this? General practitioners? Endocrinologist? Urologist? If you have made it to this point, you have probably already dealt with this unwanted scavenger hunt to find the answers. We obviously check your levels and work with you to makes sure we find your “sweet spot” for the best results physically and mentally. Too much testosterone can be just as much of a problem as not enough. Most of the clients we manage float around the 1000-1200 Nano grams per deciliter (ng/dL). We still have clients that feel best in the 6 or 700s. Our doctors work with you to find what works best for you and keep you in great health!
Red and white blood cell count. Hemoglobin and Hematocrit just to name a few. We want to rule out any issues of anemia and also understand the general health of your blood prior to treatment. Many clients come to us from a lower quality treatment center and we see high risk in these areas that might require correcting before we move forward, for your safety.
We all know that healthy cholesterol levels are good, but many times we do not know why they get out of range. We have a great track record of helping clients get cholesterol in order without any medication. It is also very important to keep an eye on even good cholesterol while on testosterone replacement therapy because testosterone and some other medications used in those programs can negatively affect cholesterol issues.
One of the most over looked hormones by athletes and medical professionals. This hormone isn’t directly related to building muscles and not part of “routine check-ups”, but a very important hormone to pay attention to. In this modern world of stress, anxiety, and over stimulation our bodies endure many internal obstacles like “adrenal fatigue”, excessive cortisol pouring into our system, and issues with “fight or flight” from every other email, horn honking, and so on. Health DHEA levels can help the body combat these issues better.
Thyroid-stimulating hormone. This allows us to uncover any initial issues with thyroid function in the body. Unfortunately issues with thyroid are very prevalent in society. Additional issues are over treating/medicating what might be a mild problem that can be corrected conservatively. We prefer the conservative approach here to stay focused on longevity over a “quick fix”. Everything from unexplained weight gain, excessive fatigue, depression, and even hair loss can be associated with poor TSH levels.
We like to look at this marker to measure how much Insulin-like Growth Factor 1 is present in your body. Many issues can arise from low levels of IGF-1. We offer a few options to help clients achieve optimal levels of IGF-1 through growth hormone and growth hormone precursors that actually help your body produce more IGF-1 on its own. This is a great way to attack many of the issues of aging! Increased IGF-1 levels have been shown to improve cognitive function, increase antioxidants, decrease inflammation, lean muscle building and reduces muscle wasting. The list of benefits continues and are pretty astounding for those individuals that are concerned with managing the aging process!
Follicle-stimulating hormone and LH, Luteinizing hormone. Measuring these indicators on your lab work helps us take a look at the natural production of testosterone function in your body and how your pituitary gland is communicating with the testes to do their job.
This test measures the amount of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in your blood. It is wise to pay attention to this indicator as we get older and specifically for those on testosterone replacement therapy. We monitor this regularly for you and in the rare event we see a spike or concern, we can refer you to a specialist to rule out any concerns or get treatment early. We specialize in HRT, but your overall health is always #1.
The enemy… Not really, but estrogen can definitely cause some serious health issues if not monitored. We like to see where your levels are at once you become a client to see if dominate estrogen in your body is already an issue. We have clients with high estrogen related to food they eat regularly and we also see clients that are just taking testosterone and “have no symptoms” of high estrogen so their current provided isn’t monitoring it… bad idea. Too high estrogen can lead to many health issues and even too low estrogen can have its side effects on lifestyle. We want to make sure you have those levels in the right place, always.
This test measures the level of sex hormone binding globulin in your blood. If your levels are too high or low you will still have many of the symptoms of low testosterone even when you are on testosterone replacement therapy. This is a very important marker to check prior to testosterone replacement therapy and during the process to make sure your body has the ability to distribute the hormones like estrogen and testosterone effectively.
