LH

Luteinizing hormone, the other half of that signal.

DHT

A stronger hormone your body makes out of testosterone.

Your body's thermostat. A slow thyroid looks just like being tired, gaining weight, and losing focus.

T4, Total

All the main thyroid hormone in your blood, bound and free together.

T4, Free

The unbound portion of T4, the part your cells can reach.

The active thyroid hormone, converted from T4.

TPO Antibodies

An immune antibody aimed at your own thyroid tissue.

Thyroglobulin Antibodies

A second antibody aimed at a different part of the thyroid.

Where problems show up first, and where they are easiest to turn around.

Glucose

Your blood sugar at the moment of the draw.

HbA1c

Your average blood sugar over roughly the last three months.

Insulin, Fasting

How much insulin it takes to hold that sugar steady.

Heart risk, measured instead of guessed at.

All the cholesterol in your blood, in one number.

HDL Cholesterol

The fraction that carries cholesterol away from your arteries.

CRP, High-Sensitivity

Low-level swelling anywhere in the body, measured finely enough to matter for the heart.

Stress load and how well you recover. It is why two people with the same labs can feel nothing alike.

IGF-1

The steady read on your growth hormone.

Cortisol

Your primary stress hormone.

DHEA-S

A starter hormone your adrenals make. It drops as you age.

Your filters. They stay quiet when healthy, so we check instead of waiting.

BUN

A protein waste product your kidneys clear.

Creatinine

A muscle waste product your kidneys clear.

eGFR

Your filtering rate, worked out from creatinine.

Uric Acid

A waste product that crystallizes when it runs high.

The balance that keeps your heart, nerves, and muscles firing right.

Sodium

The mineral that governs your fluid balance.

Potassium

The mineral your heart and muscles need to contract.

Chloride

Sodium's partner in fluid and acid balance.

CO2

Your blood's acid to base balance.

Calcium

The mineral behind bone, muscle contraction, and nerve signaling.

Magnesium

A mineral your body uses in hundreds of reactions.

Your clean-up and fuel hub. It is where medicines, alcohol, and fatty liver show up.

AST (SGOT)

An enzyme found in liver and in muscle.

ALT (SGPT)

Total Protein

All the protein circulating in your blood.

Albumin

The main carrier protein your liver makes.

Globulin

The protein group your immune system runs on.

The balance between those two.

The inputs your body cannot make. Cheap to check, and often the fastest thing to fix.

Vitamin D, 25-OH

The stored form of vitamin D, the one your body draws on.

Vitamin B-12

Folate

B-12's partner in repairing DNA.

Ferritin

Your stored iron, the reserve tank.

Iron

The iron circulating in your blood right now.

TIBC

How much more iron your blood could carry.

Transferrin Saturation

The share of your iron-carrying capacity currently in use.
