Check- Up

 

Health Check-up Package

The primary purpose of a health check-up is to detect potential health issues early, provide preventive care, and promote a healthy lifestyle. The specific components of a health check-up can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, medical history, and individual health concerns.

Hormone Check-up for Male and Female

A hormone check-up, also known as a hormonal evaluation or hormone testing, is a medical assessment aimed at measuring the levels of various hormones in the body. Hormones are chemical messengers that play crucial roles in regulating numerous physiological processes, including growth, metabolism, reproduction, mood, and more.

Micronutrient Panel Program

Micronutrients are essential vitamins and minerals that the body requires in relatively small amounts but play crucial roles in various physiological functions. These include vitamins like vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, and minerals such as iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, and many others.

Food Intolerance test

A food intolerance test is a diagnostic tool used to identify specific foods or substances that an individual’s body has difficulty digesting or processing. Food intolerances are different from food allergies, which involve the immune system’s response to specific proteins in food. Food intolerances typically involve difficulties with digesting certain components of food, such as carbohydrates, fats, or chemicals, and they don’t typically trigger an immune response.

Here are some common types of food intolerances and the tests associated with them:

  1. Lactose Intolerance: This is the inability to digest lactose, a sugar found in dairy products. The most common test for lactose intolerance is the lactose tolerance test, which involves drinking a solution containing lactose and measuring blood sugar levels to see if they rise, indicating proper digestion.
  2. Fructose Intolerance: Some individuals may have trouble digesting fructose, a sugar found in fruits and some vegetables. The hydrogen breath test is often used to diagnose fructose intolerance. It measures the amount of hydrogen in a person’s breath after consuming a fructose solution.
  3. Gluten Intolerance (Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity): Some people experience digestive symptoms when they consume gluten-containing foods, even if they don’t have celiac disease. However, diagnosing non-celiac gluten sensitivity can be challenging, and there isn’t a specific test for it. Diagnosis often involves ruling out other conditions, such as celiac disease.
  4. Food Chemical Intolerance: Some individuals may react to certain food additives, preservatives, or chemicals found in processed foods. These reactions can vary widely from person to person. Identifying specific chemical intolerances can be difficult and may involve an elimination diet followed by food challenges.
    It’s important to note that the accuracy and reliability of many food intolerance tests have been debated. Some tests, like IgG (immunoglobulin G) testing for food intolerances, have faced criticism for their lack of scientific evidence and inconsistent results. The gold standard for diagnosing food allergies and celiac disease is through medical evaluation, which may include blood tests, skin prick tests, or biopsies.

Urine Organic (UOA)

The urine organic acid test can detect abnormalities in the metabolic pathways of various compounds, including amino acids, fatty acids, neurotransmitters, and certain vitamins. Some of the specific conditions and issues that a urine organic acid test can help diagnose or monitor include:

Some of the specific conditions and issues that a urine organic acid test can help diagnose or monitor include:

  1.  Inborn Errors of Metabolism: These are genetic disorders that affect the body’s ability to metabolize certain substances properly. Examples include phenylketonuria (PKU), maple syrup urine disease (MSUD), and homocystinuria.
  2.  Nutritional Deficiencies: The test can identify deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and biotin.
  3.  Mitochondrial Disorders: These are conditions that affect the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. Mitochondrial disorders can lead to a variety of symptoms, and the test can provide insights into their metabolic effects.
  4.  Neurological and Developmental Disorders: Some neurological and developmental disorders can result from metabolic imbalances, and a urine organic acid test may help in their diagnosis.
  5.  Gastrointestinal Disorders: The test can sometimes be used to assess certain aspects of gastrointestinal function, particularly when it comes to the digestion of specific nutrients.

Immune Panel & NK Activity

An immune panel, also known as an immune function panel or immunological panel, is a set of laboratory tests that assess various aspects of a person’s immune system. These tests are conducted to evaluate the functioning of the immune system and may help diagnose immune-related disorders or monitor the immune response in certain medical conditions. An NK (Natural Killer) cell activity test is a specific type of test that measures the activity of natural killer cells, a type of white blood cell involved in the innate immune response.

RV Cancer Screening

Knowing is Better. Screening for cancer from an early stage helps increase the chances of prevention and treatment of cancers. Our goal is for everyone to have access to cancer and tumor screening with screening from the initial stage, we believe that cancer can be treated and got a higher chance of recovery.

DNA Testing

DNA testing, also known as genetic testing or DNA analysis, is a laboratory technique that examines an individual’s DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) to gain insights into their genetic makeup, ancestry, health-related information, or familial relationships.

Types of DNA Testing:

  • Ancestry DNA Testing: This type of testing provides information about an individual’s genetic heritage and ancestral origins. It can reveal ethnic and geographic ancestry, helping people trace their roots and understand their genetic connections to different populations.
  • Health DNA Testing: Health-related DNA testing analyzes specific genetic markers associated with various health conditions or traits. It can provide information about an individual’s risk for certain diseases, drug responses, carrier status for genetic disorders, and more.
  • Paternity and Family Relationship Testing: DNA testing can determine biological relationships, such as paternity (father-child) or sibling relationships. It is commonly used in legal and non-legal contexts.
  • Forensic DNA Testing: Forensic DNA analysis is used in criminal investigations to identify suspects, victims, or missing persons by comparing DNA profiles from crime scenes, evidence, or databases.
  • Genetic Genealogy: Genetic genealogy combines ancestry DNA testing with genealogical research to trace family history and discover relatives through shared DNA.

Methods of DNA Testing:

Most DNA testing methods involve obtaining a sample of the individual’s DNA, typically through a cheek swab, saliva sample, or blood draw. The DNA is then analyzed in a laboratory using various techniques, such as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), DNA sequencing, or microarray technology.
