Importance of glycemic profile, hormone panel, and nutrient deficiencies in overall health
Monitoring the glycemic profile, which includes markers such as glucose, hemoglobin A1C, and insulin, is crucial as it reflects how well the body manages blood sugar and insulin levels. Imbalance in these markers can lead to various conditions like metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, assessing hormone levels like DHEA and SHPG and checking for nutrient deficiencies such as vitamin D3, magnesium, potassium, and vitamin B12 are essential for maintaining overall health. A methylation test targeting specific genes like MTHFR, MTR, MTRR, AHCY, and COMT can provide further insights into one's health. By focusing on these aspects, individuals can understand how well they regulate blood sugar, balance hormones, address nutrient deficiencies, and uncover genetic factors affecting their health.
