Dr. Sanders Clinic Customized Bloodwork
Comprehensive Testing Beyond Standard Panels
Instead of relying solely on conventional labs with limited ranges, you order advanced or customized blood panels. These include markers for:
- Inflammation (e.g., CRP, homocysteine)
- Blood sugar regulation (e.g., fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c)
- Thyroid function (e.g., TSH, free T3, free T4, reverse T3, antibodies)
- Nutritional status (e.g., vitamin D, B12, folate, iron panels, magnesium)
- Hormonal balance (e.g., cortisol, estrogen, testosterone, DHEA)
- Liver and kidney function
- Lipid profiles
- Immune markers (e.g., white blood cell differentials)
- These panels are tailored to the patient’s symptoms, history, and health goals.
Using Functional Ranges for Optimal Health
You analyze bloodwork using functional ranges, which are narrower than standard clinical ranges. Functional ranges are designed to detect subclinical imbalances before they progress into disease states, allowing you to identify and address potential issues early.
Personalized Analysis
- You interpret patterns within the bloodwork rather than looking at markers in isolation. For example:
- A combination of low ferritin, high RDW, and normal hemoglobin might indicate early iron deficiency.
- Elevated reverse T3 alongside low free T3 might suggest thyroid dysfunction related to stress or nutrient depletion.
Developing Targeted Interventions
- Based on the results, you create a customized plan to support the patient’s unique needs. This might include:
- Dietary recommendations: Tailored to address specific deficiencies (e.g., iron-rich foods for low ferritin or anti-inflammatory foods for elevated CRP).
- Nutritional supplementation: High-quality supplements to replenish deficiencies (e.g., vitamin D, omega-3s, magnesium).
- Lifestyle changes: Stress management, sleep optimization, and exercise plans based on their hormonal or metabolic state.
- Gut health support: If inflammation or immune markers indicate gut-related issues, you might implement strategies like probiotics or elimination diets.
Monitoring and Adjusting
- Bloodwork serves as a baseline, and follow-up testing is used to track progress. This allows you to fine-tune the plan as the patient’s markers improve or change.
