Food Sensitivity Dbs - My Village Green
LAB TEST Food Sensitivity Dbs
$360.00 $450.00
Food Sensitivity Test If you suffer from digestive issues, fatigue, brain fog, migraines, sinus symptoms, joint pain, skin issues, or other health problems, you may have sensitivities to certain foods. Research and clinical studies suggest food sensitivities can be a major contributing factor in many chronic health conditions. Unfortunately, even healthy foods can be troublesome for some individuals. Repeated exposure to reactive foods can trigger inflammation, cause gut permeability, and negatively impact the body in numerous ways. Because symptoms associated with food sensitivities tend to be delayed, it can be difficult to pinpoint which foods are problematic. Fortunately, IgG food sensitivity testing can help to identify the specific foods that your body is reacting to. This lab panel measures your antibody response to 190 different foods, including Candida yeast. Based on your results, an elimination and/or rotation food plan can be followed to help reduce stress on your immune system and allow for GI repair and healing. Test Type: Dried Blood Spot (DBS) A test kit will be mailed to you from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory, that contains detailed instructions.

Thyroid Analysis - My Village Green
LAB TEST Thyroid Analysis
$196.00 $245.00
Thyroid Analysis Millions of Americans (predominantly women) suffer from thyroid disorders. This includes a large percentage of the population that have thyroid conditions but have either been undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. Symptoms of thyroid imbalances, such as fatigue, dry skin, constipation, depression, increased heart rate, weight gain/loss, and joint paint, can be vague and attributed to other disorders. In addition, many doctors are not thoroughly testing their patients or not using optimal lab ranges, which results in undetected thyroid conditions. Thyroid hormones are essential regulators of the body’s metabolism and imbalances can affect every metabolic process in the body. Undiagnosed thyroid disease can put people at risk for diabetes, heart disease, lipid imbalances, depression, osteoporosis, and infertility. There are many factors that can interfere with thyroid function, such as stress, nutrient deficiencies, toxins, leaky gut, and inflammation. Thoroughly assessing thyroid function and thyroid hormone metabolism is essential in determining root cause imbalances. This Test Includes: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) Released by the pituitary gland, TSH acts as a messenger to the thyroid gland. A high TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland is not making enough thyroid hormone. A low TSH level indicates that the thyroid gland is producing too much thyroid hormone. Thyroxine (T4) Total & Free T4 is the main thyroid hormone circulating in the blood. T4 is converted to T3, the active form of the hormone, as needed to increase metabolic function. Total T4 includes thyroxine that has bonded with protein as well as Free T4, which reflects active thyroxine that is not bonded to protein and able to enter and affect the body tissues. Free T4 Index (FTI) FTI tells how much free T4 is present compared to bound T4. Triiodothyronine (T3) Total & Free Total T3 reflects both bound and free triiodothyronine. Free T3 is an important biomarker for measuring active thyroid hormones available to thyroid receptor sites. T3 Uptake Indirectly measures the binding capacity of thyroxine-binding globulin (TBG), a protein that can bind to T4 and T3. T3 uptake measures the precent of TBG that is bound to thyroid hormones. Reverse T3 Reverse T3 is another inactive form of T3 that can be created from T4. It can increase because of nutrient deficiencies, heavy metal exposure, adrenal stress, enzyme deficiencies, and chronic illnesses. Thyroglobulin Antibody and Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab Measuring thyroid antibodies can help gauge autoimmune response and may reflect metabolic irregularities and hypothyroidism even when TSH and T4 levels appear normal. Thyroid antibody levels may rise in response to trauma, dysbiosis, inflammation (including thyroiditis) or progressive thyroid degeneration. Test Type: Blood test* This test requires blood work. You’ll receive an email within 24-48 hours with a lab requisition form and necessary instructions. Take this to a local LabCorp Patient Service Center to have your blood drawn. Please note: All tests are authorized and reviewed by a physician from our partner laboratory, DHA Laboratory. Results: In approximately 5 business days, DHA Laboratory will email you your test results. For a detailed interpretation of your results as well as recommendations for next steps, please schedule a consultation with a Village Green nutritionist. Questions?

Adrenal Stress Profile - My Village Green
LAB TEST Adrenal Stress Profile
$368.00 $460.00
Adrenal Stress Profile Daily hassles, chronic pain, blood sugar dysregulation, work stressors, and poor relationship quality can alter the body’s ability to effectively manage stress. When the body is unable to keep up with life’s chronic stressors, imbalances in the hormones, cortisol and DHEA, can result and lead to adrenal fatigue. It is estimated that up to 80% of adult Americans suffer from some level of adrenal fatigue, yet it remains one of the most under-diagnosed conditions in the U.S. Chronic stress can negatively impact energy levels, emotional well-being, sleep, hormone balance, weight management, and many other health conditions. This saliva test can help to uncover biochemical imbalances and provide direction for nutrition and lifestyle support. This noninvasive saliva test measures cortisol and DHEA, which are produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress. These hormones influence metabolism, inflammation, thyroid function and can affect energy levels, and resistance to disease. Too much or too little of cortisol or DHEA can negatively impact health. If you are experiencing symptoms, such as morning or afternoon fatigue, poor concentration, feeling "tired but wired," sleep disturbances, increased cravings, or susceptibility to illnesses, this test may be helpful for you. The Adrenal Stress Analysis Includes: Cortisol x4 - steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands in response to stress; saliva cortisol testing is preferred over serum cortisol testing because of its reliability and non-invasiveness. Cortisol production is normally at its highest 30 minutes after waking and declines steadily during the day, reaching its lowest point at bedtime. Because levels of cortisol rise and fall in a daily pattern, four samples are collected throughout the day to allow for circadian rhythm assessment. DHEA - ​Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a steroid hormone produced by the adrenal cortex; DHEA is also an important precursor to sex hormones. It is measured once in the 7:00 – 9:00 AM sample. DHEA:Cortisol Ratio – The ratio of DHEA to cortisol is calculated to provide further insight into your body’s metabolic balance and “wear-and-tear.” Test Type: Saliva A test kit will be mailed to you from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory, that will contain detailed collection instructions. Results: In approximately 10-14 business days, DHA Laboratory will email you your test results. If you would like a detailed interpretation of your test results, please schedule a consultation with a Village Green nutritionist.

Womens Wellness Panel - My Village Green
LAB TEST Womens Wellness Panel
$404.00 $505.00
Women's Wellness Panel This comprehensive lab test is designed to help women establish a thorough baseline of their health, detect possible health risks, and provide indicators of health concerns. Repeating this panel yearly is a great way to stay on top of one’s health. The Women’s Wellness Panel covers everything found in a basic lab check-up but goes well beyond the typical markers that doctors tend to run. For example, this panel includes a thorough look into thyroid health, hormone balance, markers of inflammation, key nutrient levels, cardiovascular health, and metabolic health. This Panel Includes: CBC (Complete Blood Count) A CBC gives important information about the kinds and numbers of cells in the blood, especially red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. This panel looks for many illnesses, including anemia, infections, and leukemia, in your blood. CMP (Comprehensive Metabolic Panel) CMP is a blood test that measures your sugar (glucose) level, electrolyte and fluid balance, kidney function, and liver function. This panel includes ALT/(SPGT), alkaline phosphatase, AST/SGOT, bilirubin total, bun, calcium, carbon dioxide total, chloride, creatinine, globulin, glucose, potassium, protein total, sodium. AG ratio, bun/creatinine ratio. Lipid Panel The lipid panel measures HDL (high-density lipoprotein), LDL (low-density lipoprotein), VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein), and provides a LDL:HDL ratio. The ratio can help a person evaluate their risk for heart disease. Urinalysis A urinalysis is used to help detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with a range of disorders, including urinary tract infections, diabetes, and kidney disease. Hormone Panel Prolactin This test measures the level of the hormone prolactin, which is made by the pituitary gland. Prolactin’s primary role is to help initiate and maintain breast milk production in pregnant and nursing women. High prolactin levels can interfere with ovulation. The test can be used to diagnose galactorrhea, or abnormal lactation, but can also be useful in the diagnosis of headaches and visual disturbances. Progesterone The hormone progesterone is produced by the ovaries during ovulation. Measuring progesterone levels can be helpful in determining whether or not a woman has ovulated, when ovulation occurred, or to monitor the success of induced ovulation. An imbalance between progesterone and estrogen is linked to weight gain, insomnia, anxiety, depression, migraine, cancer, uterine fibroids, ovarian cysts, and osteoporosis. Estradiol Estradiol (E2) is the most dominant and strongest form of estrogen. Made in the ovarian follicles, estradiol plays an important role in the first half of the menstrual cycle as well as after ovulation. It can be helpful to look at the relationship between estradiol and progesterone in evaluating menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, mood disorders, and aging skin. FSH/LH Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) are made by the pituitary gland and play an important role in sexual development and functioning. These hormones help to control the menstrual cycle and growth of eggs in the ovaries. FSH and LH levels change throughout the menstrual cycle, with the highest levels just before ovulation. Measuring FSH can be helpful in determining ovarian reserve. DHEA, S DHEA is a hormone produced by the adrenal glands. DHEA-sulfate (DHEA-S) is the sulfated form of DHEA and represents a stable measure of adrenal function and stress accumulated over time. DHEA-S helps to modulate neurotransmitter synthesis, and plays a role in immune health, inflammation, executive function, working memory, attention, and has a stress-buffering effect. Testosterone, Free & Total Testosterone is produced by the adrenal glands and ovaries. It is also produced from the conversion of steroid hormones such as DHEA. Testosterone plays an important role in mood and mental outlook, bone and muscle health, cardiovascular health, and libido. Testosterone levels tend to decline with age. Total testosterone measures the total amount of testosterone in the blood stream. Free testosterone measures the amount of testosterone that is available to connect with testosterone receptors in the body. Thyroid Analysis (TSH, FTI, T3 Up, T4 Total, T3 Total, Free T4, Free T3) This comprehensive analysis provides an assessment of thyroid function and can help to pinpoint underlying causes contributing to hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism. Inflammatory Markers CRP, Cardiac C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein in your blood, which when elevated, is indicative of inflammation. This test can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Inflammation (swelling) of the arteries has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. Homocysteine Homocysteine is an amino acid that is produced by the body and is normally changed into other amino acids during the methylation process. However, due to a variety of factors, homocysteine levels can rise. Elevated homocysteine is a risk factor for cardiovascular events in addition to cognitive decline. Blood Sugar Markers Glucose This test detects blood sugar imbalances, such as high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) or low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Measuring glucose can screen for prediabetes and diabetes and is also important for monitoring persons with diabetes. HgA1c with eAG The hemoglobin A1C test provides a measurement of a person’s average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months. This serves as a helpful indicator of how well blood sugar is being controlled. Also included is an estimated average glucose (eAG), which is a calculation of a person’s average daily blood sugar level. Key Nutrients Vitamin D Vitamin D, 25-hydroxy test measures the level of circulating vitamin D in the blood. This very important vitamin performs many vital roles in the body, including supporting bone and immune health. Many people do not have adequate vitamin D levels. This test can be helpful in identifying an insufficiency and determining an optimal vitamin D3 supplement dosage level. Magnesium, RBC Magnesium is a mineral that is important for strong bones and muscles, heart health, glucose and blood pressure regulation, energy production, and nerve function. This test is used to determine the level of magnesium in red blood cells, which provides a very accurate measurement. Test Type: Blood test* and Urinalysis You will receive an email within 24-48 hours from our lab partner, DHA Laboratory, that contains your lab requisition form and necessary instructions.

Micronutrient Analysis
LAB TEST Micronutrient Analysis
$304.00 $380.00
Cellular Micronutrient Assay This comprehensive nutritional analysis measures over 50 micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and other key nutrients) at the cellular level. Compared to serum testing, which only gives a snapshot of one’s nutrient status, cellular testing provides insight into long-term, functional nutritional status. Why is this test important? Nutrients are vital to health and are required for every metabolic process in the body. Insufficiencies can negatively affect health and play a role in compromising immune health and setting the stage for degenerative processes, such as arthritis, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Nutrient requirements are unique to each individual and are impacted by many factors, such as diet, age, digestion and absorption, medications, stress, genetics, pregnancy, activity levels, illnesses, sleep patterns, and toxin levels. Regularly evaluating one’s micronutrient status can help to determine optimal daily nutrient intake and allow for ongoing customized support. The Cellular Micronutrient Assay measures the following nutrients: Vitamins Minerals Amino Acids Other Nutrients Thiamine (vitamin B1) Riboflavin (vitamin B2) Biotin Cobalamin (vitamin B12) Folate (vitamin B9) Nicotinamide (niacin, vitamin B3) Pantothenic Acid Pyridoxine (vitamin B6) Vitamin C Vitamin A Vitamin D Vitamin E (delta-tocotrienol) Vitamin K1 Vitamin K2-MK7 Vitamin K2-MK4 Boron Calcium Chromium Copper Iodine Iron Lithium Magnesium Manganese Molybdenum Potassium Selenium Strontium Vanadium Zinc Arginine Asparagine Cysteine Glutamine Glycine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Serine Methionine Phenylalanine Taurine Threonine Tryptophan Tyrosine Valine Alpha-ketoglutarate Carnitine Choline Glutathione Inositol Test Type: Blood – A test kit will be mailed to you along with instructions for having your blood drawn at a participating lab.

Minerals And Toxic Metals - My Village Green
LAB TEST Minerals And Toxic Metals
$168.00 $210.00
Minerals & Toxic Metals – Hair Analysis Hair analysis provides important information regarding recent and ongoing exposure to potentially toxic metals, such as mercury and arsenic. As protein is synthesized in the hair follicle, elements are incorporated permanently into the hair. Scalp hair is easy to sample, and because it grows an average of one to two cm per month, it contains a "temporal record" of element metabolism and exposure to toxic elements. The levels of elements in hair are correlated with levels in organs and other tissues. Hair analysis for toxic and essential elements can help determine if metal toxicity or mineral deficiency is contributing to a disorder, monitor the effects of chelation (elimination of heavy metals from the body), and identify if supplementation of important minerals may bring about significant improvements. Why this test is important: Many elements are considered nutrients and are essential for the proper functioning of the body. These are generally divided between macrominerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc, and trace minerals including selenium, iodine, boron and molybdenum. Conversely, there are a number of elements that are toxic to the human body, interfere with its functioning and undermine health—such as mercury, lead, cadmium, aluminum, and arsenic. These toxic metals have no known physiological functions. They can be toxic to organ systems and may disrupt the balance of essential nutrients. Toxic metals and essential element status can be assessed in urine, blood, feces and hair. Toxic elements may be 200 to 300 times more highly concentrated in hair than in blood or urine. Therefore, hair is the tissue of choice for detection of recent exposure to elements such as arsenic, aluminum, cadmium, lead, antimony and mercury. The CDC acknowledges the value of hair mercury levels as a maternal and infant marker for exposure to neurotoxic methylmercury from fish. You should consider testing if you have: Toxic element exposure Excessive fish consumption Alopecia Depression Fatigue Malabsorption Hypertension Impaired glucose tolerance Impaired kidney function Parkinson's-like symptoms Sexual impotence or decreased testosterone production Vision problems Test includes: Toxic Elements Essential & Other Elements Aluminum Antimony Arsenic Barium Beryllium Cadmium Lead Mercury Platinum Thallium Thorium Uranium Nickel Silver Tin Titanium Calcium Magnesium Sodium Potassium Copper Zinc Manganese Chromium Vanadium Molybdenum Boron Iodine Lithium Phosphorus Selenium Strontium Sulfur Cobalt Iron Germanium Rubidium Zirconium Test Type: Hair specimen Detailed instructions will be sent to you with the test kit.

AG ratio, bun/creatinine ratio. Vitamin D The Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy test measures the level of vitamin D in the blood to gain an overall perspective of a patient´s health and dietary insufficiencies. Magnesium, RBC Magnesium is a mineral that is important for strong bones and muscles, heart health, energy production, and nerve function. This test is used to measure the level of magnesium in the blood and to help determine the cause of abnormal calcium and/or potassium levels. Magnesium deficiency can be associated with malnutrition, malabsorption, chronic diarrhea, and alcoholism. Lack of magnesium may lead to irritability, muscle weakness, and irregular heartbeat. Lipids Lipid Panel with LDL: HDL Ratio is used to evaluate a person’s cholesterol levels. This test includes HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; and, VLDL-C, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The ratio can help a person further evaluate their risk for heart disease. Typically, a higher ratio indicates a lower risk. This test requires fasting 12-14 hours prior to blood collection. T3, Free A Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Free test is used to evaluate thyriod functions and to help diagnose hyperthyroidism. The T3 test is usually ordered following an abnormal TSH and T4 test. TSH, FTI, T3 Up, T4 Total The Thyroid function test is helpful in the evaluation of hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, used with thyroxine (T4) or equivalent to provide free T4 index (FTI). An indirect measure of binding protein, the T3 uptake reflects available binding sites (ie, reflects TBG). T3 uptake is not a measurement of serum T3. It should never be used alone; rather, its usual application is use with thyroxine (T4). T4, Free A Thyroxine (T4) Free tests are used to help evaluate thyroid function and diagnose thyroid diseases, including hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism. Test is usually ordered after discovering that the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) level is abnormal. T3, Total A Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Total test is used to evaluate thyroid functions and to help diagnose hyperthyroidism. The Total T3 can be affected by protein levels and protein binding ability, but the free T3 is not. CRP, hs C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein that can be measured in your blood. This test can be used to evaluate your risk of developing coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries of your heart are narrowed. Inflammation (swelling) of the arteries has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease, heart attack, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease. CRP measures general levels of inflammation in your body, but cannot show where the inflammation is located or what is causing it. DHEA, S The DHEA-sulfate test measures the amount of DHEA-sulfate in the blood. DHEA-sulfate is a weak male hormone (androgen) produced by the adrenal gland in both men and women. DHEA plays a fundamental role in hormone balance, as well as supporting one’s immune function, energy, mood, and maintenance of muscle and bone mass. Since orally administered DHEA is mostly converted to DHEA-S, coupled with the fact that DHEA-S levels are more stable in the blood than DHEA, measurement of DHEA-S is preferable to DHEA. Estrone Estrone is considered a weaker form of estrogen and is typically produced by fat cells. The more fat, the more estrone, which in turn promotes fat deposits. It is produced from androstenedione, and excess of estrone can cause breast enlargement and contribute to prostate enlargement. In males, a certain low level of estrone is mandatory to balance the androgens. PSA Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a substance produced by the prostate gland. Elevated PSA levels may indicate prostate cancer, a noncancerous condition such as prostatitis, or an enlarged prostate. Testosterone F&T Testosterone is a steroid hormone (androgen) produced by special endocrine tissue in the male testicles. It is also produced by the adrenal glands in both males and females and, in small amounts, by the ovaries in females. This test measures the level of testosterone in the blood and includes both Free Direct and Total Testosterone results. Known as the feel-good hormone, testosterone helps maintain a man’s bone density, fat distribution, muscle strength, sex drive, mood, energy, sperm production, and more. FSH/LH Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a hormone that synthesized and secreted by gonadotrophs of the anterior pituitary gland. FSH regulates the development, growth, pubertal maturation and reproductive processes of the body. FSH and luteinizing hormone (LH) act synergistically in reproduction. Urinalysis The Urinalysis is used to help detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with different metabolic and kidney disorders. A routine urinalysis usually includes the following tests: color, transparency, specific gravity, pH, protein, glucose, ketones, blood, bilirubin, nitrite, urobilinogen, and leukocyte esterase. HgA1c A Hemoglobin A1C test provides a measurement of a person’s average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months by determining the percentage of their hemoglobin which is glycated. This test includes a calculation for estimated average glucose (eAG). EAG is a measurement which indicates a person’s average daily blood sugar level. Homocysteine Homocysteine is an amino acid that is produced by the body by chemically altering adenosine. Amino acids are naturally made products, which are the building blocks of all the proteins in the body. This test is used to evaluate conditions that change the function or blood concentration of the B vitamins. It may also be used to evaluate conditions that affect renal (kidney) function or enzyme activities. High homocysteine levels can directly damage the delicate endothelial cells that line the inside of arteries, resulting in vascular inflammation, arterial plaque rupture, and blood clot formation.
