Cardiovascular/Thyroid/Metabolic Evaluation

Micro Nutrient Evaluation

Micronutrient test measures 31 vitamins, minerals, amino/fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites – and how they affect cellular function in a person. Correlating micronutrient deficiencies not only slows aging and degenerative disease progression, it can also prevent as well as repair cellular dysfunction, and by extension, disease.

What is Micronutrient Testing?

Micronutrient tests measure the function of 35 nutritional components including vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and amino acids within our white blood cells. Scientific evidence shows us that analyzing the white blood cells gives us the most accurate analysis of a body's deficiencies.

Thyroid Evaluation

The thyroid gland is inextricably linked to every metabolic function within the human body and is the main thermostat for every cellular function in the body. Thyroid gland is on the same network of communication involving the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, testes, and ovaries.

Testing Panel:

• Free T3 (Free Triiodothyronine) – the more potent and biologically active thyroid hormone, T3 regulates growth and metabolism throughout the whole body.

• Free T4 (Free Thyroxine) – considered a precursor hormone, T4 is converted to T3 as required by cells throughout the body; levels of T4 are generally much higher than T3.

• Total T4 (Total Thyroxine) - Most T4 in the blood is bound to carrier proteins which make it biologically inactive. Total T4 includes unbound (free) T4 plus T4 that is bound to carrier proteins in the blood.

• rT3 - Reverse T3 (Reverse Triiodothyronine) - As the name implies, Reverse T3 opposes the biological action of T3. It slows metabolism and renders T3 in the body biologically inactive. The rate of rT3 production relative to T3 will increase in times of stress (high cortisol) and in the presence of nutrient deficiencies, inflammation or certain medications.

• Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – produced by the pituitary gland, TSH tells the thyroid gland to increase or decrease production of T4 or conversion to T3 depending on the amounts circulating in the bloodstream via an efficient feedback system.

• Anti-TG (Antibodies to Thyroglobulin) – a precursor to T4. If Anti-TG are present in significant amounts, this suggests an abnormal immune response against your own body, also called autoimmunity.

• Anti-TPO (Antibodies to Thyroperoxidase) – is an enzyme that initiates the synthesis of T4. Antibodies to TPO indicate autoimmunity where the body is attacking normal proteins in the blood (in this case, TPO). People with anti-TPO have a higher chance of developing hypothyroidism that those who do not have antibodies to TPO.

• Tg (Thyroglobulin) – The main function of Tg is to store iodine, which is a necessary nutrient for the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4. This test is particularly useful when monitored over time versus a single measurement and can sometimes be a useful tumor marker in patients with previous thyroid cancer.

• TBG (Thyroid Binding Globulin) – is a carrier protein for thyroid hormones so its role is to transport T4 and T3 through the bloodstream. The thyroid gland adjusts to changing levels of TBG in order to keep free T4 constant and it is particularly useful when thyroid (T4) levels do not necessarily correlate with clinical symptoms. TBG levels are largely affected by other hormones and many prescription drugs and is useful in diagnosing the reason behind abnormal thyroid hormone levels.

Pre-Diabetes Assessment

The following tests have the largest impact on the pre-diabetes risk score: hemoglobin A1c, fasting blood sugar and metabolic syndrome traits. Other factors that significantly affect a pre-diabetic risk but that are not included in this report include weight, waist/hip ratio, blood pressure (hypertension), smoking, inflammation and family history.

• Glucose - snapshot of blood sugar at time of blood draw

• Insulin - correlates to the efficiency with which a person can metabolize carbohydrates; high fasting levels indicate insulin resistance and possible pre-diabetes.

• Hemoglobin A1C - long term (2-3 months) marker of glycemic control; also considered a marker of accelerated aging

• C-peptide - a measure of endogenous insulin production; useful in distinguishing between ty pe 1 and type 2 diabetes

• Adiponectin - a hormone that ezymatically controls metabolism; high levels beneficial and indicate efficient cellular energy production

• Metabolic syndrome traits - A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome is confirmed if any three of the following six traits exist in a patient: (1) high triglycerides (2) high glucose (3) low HDL (4) high blood pressure (5) high waist circumference or (6) increased small dense LDL

Cardiovascular Risk Evaluation

I've already had my cholesterol checked, why should I have the Cardio-Metabolic test done?

Standard cholesterol testing only gives you part of the picture leaving many people with "normal" cholesterol numbers unaware that they are still at risk for a heart attack. The National Cholesterol Education Program introduced new risk factors that are responsible for many individuals at risk for cardiovascular disease.

According to the NCEP guidelines, 50% of people who have a heart attack have normal cholesterol levels.

Cholesterol is carried throughout the body in little balls called lipoproteins. It is the lipoproteins, not the cholesterol in them, that leads to clogging of the arteries.

Cardio Assessment:

• Total Cholesterol,

• LDL/HDL,

• and Triglycerides

• VLDL Particles

• Total LDL Particles

• Non-HDL Particles

• Total HDL Particles

• Large buoyant HDL 2b

Vascular Inflammation Markers:

• C-Reactive Protein

• Homocysteine

• Apo B-100

• Lp(a)

If you are truly serious about your elevating your health game to the next level you cannot afford to forgo this program! You maybe in what you consider great health, however, certain ailments can creep on you without apparent symptoms. Do not risk your health and longevity!

Perhaps your medical lab work from your doc's office says that you are fine, however, you feel like crap and your doctor says it is all in your head. Sound familiar?

Innovative Sports Training offers holistic evaluations, functional comprehensive lab work, and lab assessments to peel away the layers to decipher what is functioning and what is not functioning.
