Here I list some blood testing that I highly recommend to help with the hair analysis report. Hair analysis can also highlight upon the results of the blood tests listed below.
C-reactive protein
Homo-cysteine
Vitamin D levels
ApoB or NMR Lipoprofile
Free and total testosterone— emphasis on free
Hemoglobin A1C
CBC (Complete Blood Count)
Insulin (insulin resistance and Glucose)
Cytokine Panel (Inflammation)
Glutathione (Master Detoxifier)
Oxidized LDL
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (““Conditions with low SHBG include ovarian cysts, diabetes, and hypothyroidism. Conditions with high SHBG include pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, and anorexia. There has recently been research to link high SHBG levels with breast and testicular cancer as well.”” LIfe Extension)
Granted all of these are not required but can be very informative.
