Women's Wellness

Tests Included

Total Cholesterol (TC)

What it is: The total amount of cholesterol in the blood, which includes low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL). Why it matters: Cholesterol is essential for cellular structure and hormone production, but excess levels increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

LDL-C (Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

What it is: Often referred to as "bad cholesterol," LDL transports cholesterol to tissues. Elevated levels can lead to plaque buildup in arteries. Why it matters: High LDL levels are strongly linked to atherosclerosis, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

sdLDL-C (Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

What it is: A subtype of LDL cholesterol consisting of smaller, denser particles. These are more prone to oxidation and more likely to contribute to plaque formation. Why it matters: Elevated sdLDL-C is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, even in individuals with normal LDL-C levels.

HDL-C (High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol)

What it is: Known as "good cholesterol," HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from tissues and transports it to the liver for excretion. Why it matters: Higher HDL levels are protective against cardiovascular disease.

Triglycerides (TG)

What it is: A type of fat (lipid) in the blood, stored in fat cells and used as an energy source. Why it matters: Elevated triglycerides can increase the risk of heart disease, particularly when combined with low HDL and/or high LDL.

Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)]

What it is: A lipoprotein similar to LDL but includes an additional protein called apolipoprotein(a). Elevated Lp(a) levels are genetically determined. Why it matters: High Lp(a) levels are associated with increased risk of atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke, independent of LDL-C levels.

hsCRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)

What it is: A marker of systemic inflammation, produced by the liver in response to inflammation. Why it matters: Elevated hsCRP levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular events and chronic inflammatory conditions.

Glucose

What it is: The main sugar in the blood, derived from dietary carbohydrates. Why it matters: Elevated glucose levels may indicate prediabetes or diabetes, while low levels may suggest hypoglycemia.

Essential Fatty Acids

What it is: Fats the body cannot produce, including omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are crucial for brain function, cell membrane structure, and inflammation regulation. Why it matters: Imbalances or deficiencies can contribute to chronic inflammation, heart disease, and cognitive issues. Key components: Omega-3 fatty acids (e.g., EPA, DHA): Anti-inflammatory properties. Omega-6 fatty acids (e.g., linoleic acid): Support energy production and skin health but may promote inflammation when excessive.

TSH (Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone)

What it is: A hormone secreted by the pituitary gland that regulates thyroid function by stimulating the thyroid gland to produce T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). Why it matters: High TSH levels may indicate hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid). Low TSH levels may indicate hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) or pituitary dysfunction.

DHEA-S (Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate)

What it is: A hormone produced primarily by the adrenal glands, serving as a precursor for sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen. Why it matters: High levels may indicate adrenal hyperactivity or conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Low levels may be associated with adrenal insufficiency, aging, or chronic illnesses.

SHBG (Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin)

What it is: A glycoprotein that binds to sex hormones like testosterone and estrogen, regulating their bioavailability. Why it matters: High SHBG levels reduce the amount of free (active) testosterone, potentially causing symptoms of low testosterone. Low SHBG levels may increase free testosterone levels and are associated with insulin resistance, obesity, or PCOS.

LH (Luteinizing Hormone)

What it is: A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates testosterone production in men and ovulation in women. Why it matters: High LH in women may indicate PCOS or menopause. High LH in men may indicate testicular dysfunction. Low levels may suggest pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction.

FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone)

What it is: A hormone produced by the pituitary gland that stimulates the growth of ovarian follicles in women and sperm production in men. Why it matters: High levels in women may indicate menopause or ovarian failure. High levels in men may indicate testicular dysfunction. Low levels in both genders suggest pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction.

About this test

The Women's Wellness blood test is a complete diagnostic tool designed to address the unique health needs of women. This test evaluates essential hormones, including estrogen, progesterone, thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which influence reproductive health, mood, energy, and metabolism.

It also includes key markers for bone health, such as calcium and vitamin D, as women are at a higher risk for osteoporosis, particularly as they age. The test assesses metabolic markers like glucose, HbA1c, and lipid profiles to help monitor cardiovascular health and prevent conditions such as diabetes. In addition, it evaluates inflammatory markers such as high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), which can help detect underlying chronic inflammation that could impact overall wellness.

The Women's Wellness test also includes a full thyroid panel to evaluate thyroid function, which plays a critical role in metabolism, energy levels, and weight management. Other markers, such as iron and folate, are measured to assess nutritional status and prevent deficiencies that could affect overall health. This comprehensive test helps women understand their hormonal health, metabolic status, and potential health risks, empowering them to take proactive steps toward better health.
