Functional Foundations Lab Bundle- $299

---

 Provides a broad overview of liver function, kidney health, blood sugar balance, electrolyte status, hydration, and metabolic health. This panel can help identify early signs of metabolic stress, fatty liver patterns, blood sugar dysregulation, and nutrient imbalances before more serious dysfunction develops.

Includes:

• Glucose 
• Kidney function markers (BUN, Creatinine, eGFR) 
• Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, CO₂) 
• Calcium 
• Protein and albumin levels 
• Liver enzymes (AST, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase) 
• Bilirubin

Evaluates red blood cells, white blood cells, immune patterns, oxygen-carrying capacity, and overall blood health. This panel can provide clues related to inflammation, immune activation, anemia patterns, chronic stress, allergies, nutrient deficiencies, and recovery capacity.

Includes:

• Red Blood Cell Count 
• Hemoglobin & Hematocrit 
• White Blood Cell Count 
• Platelets 
• Red blood cell indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW) 
• Immune cell patterns including neutrophils, lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, and basophils

One of the earliest markers of metabolic dysfunction and insulin resistance. Insulin levels can become elevated years before blood sugar or A1C become abnormal. Elevated fasting insulin may contribute to:

• Weight gain and weight resistance 
• Cravings and energy crashes 
• PCOS 
• Fatty liver 
• Inflammation 
• Cardiovascular risk.

Provides an average picture of blood sugar balance over approximately the last 3 months. This helps identify patterns of blood sugar dysregulation and metabolic stress that may not appear on a single fasting glucose reading. 

A more detailed look at cholesterol and cardiovascular risk markers than a standard lipid panel. Rather than simply focusing on total cholesterol, this panel helps evaluate metabolic health, triglyceride patterns, and potential early cardiovascular risk.

Includes:

• Total Cholesterol 
• HDL (“protective” cholesterol) 
• LDL 
• Triglycerides 
• Cholesterol ratios

A sensitive marker of inflammation within the body. Chronic low-grade inflammation is commonly associated with:

• Insulin resistance 
• Weight gain 
• Cardiovascular disease 
• Autoimmune conditions 
• Chronic stress 
• Poor recovery and fatigue 

This marker helps identify inflammatory patterns that may contribute to long-term health concerns.

A functional marker connected to methylation, cardiovascular health, detoxification pathways, and nutrient status. Elevated homocysteine may be associated with:

• Nutrient deficiencies (B12, folate, B6) 
• Endothelial stress 
• Fatigue 
• Brain fog 
• Increased cardiovascular risk

An often-overlooked liver and oxidative stress marker. GGT may provide insight into:

• Detoxification burden 
• Oxidative stress 
• Fatty liver patterns 
• Alcohol or toxin exposure 
• Glutathione demand (the body’s master antioxidant system) 

This marker can become elevated long before standard liver labs appear abnormal.

Measures the body’s stored iron reserves. Low ferritin is extremely common, especially in women, and may contribute to:

• Fatigue 
• Hair shedding 
• Exercise intolerance 
• Cold intolerance 
• Brain fog 
• Poor thyroid function support 

Even “low-normal” ferritin levels may contribute to symptoms in some individuals.

More than just a gout marker, uric acid can also provide insight into metabolic health and insulin resistance. Elevated levels are commonly associated with:

• Blood sugar dysregulation 
• Metabolic syndrome 
• Fatty liver 
• Inflammation 
• Cardiovascular risk

Vitamin D plays an important role in immune function, mood, metabolism, bone health, hormone balance, and inflammation regulation. Low levels are extremely common and may contribute to fatigue, lowered immune resilience, and poor recovery.
