How do I know if this test is for me? Good for anyone with ongoing sneezing, congestion, itchy or watery eyes, or skin reactions who wants to know exactly which regional allergens are responsible. Whats tested? IgE antibody levels to 26 allergens: A. Alternata, A. Fumigatus, Bermuda Grass, Birch Tree, Cat Dander, C. Herbarum, Cottonwood Tree, D. Farinae, D.

Heart Health Panel Heart Health Panel $195.00 CALL & BOOK TEST A heart health panel including a Lipid Panel, ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), and hs-CRP gives a far more complete cardiovascular risk picture than cholesterol numbers alone — capturing particle count, genetic risk, and inflammation together.

Whats tested? Lipid Panel (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), ApoB, Lipoprotein(a), and hs-CRP. What insights will the test provide?
