Functional Biomarker & Hormone Testing

Huemn Houston offers physician-reviewed functional biomarker panels covering 60–90 markers across metabolic, cardiovascular, hormonal, thyroid, inflammatory, and nutritional health. The Baseline panel ($299) covers roughly 60 markers including ApoB, Lp(a), HbA1c, homocysteine, hs-CRP, full hormone panel (testosterone, estradiol, DHEA-S, cortisol, IGF-1), and thyroid function. The Advanced panel ($499) expands to ~90 markers. Results are reviewed by Dr. Juan Garcia, MD, with a personalised optimisation plan. A complimentary InBody body composition scan is included with most panels.

Huemn Health Optimization Houston operates a functional medicine lab service — branded as Huemn Labs — that goes well beyond standard annual bloodwork. The clinic offers two flagship biomarker panels designed around a root-cause, whole-system view of health, with results reviewed by Dr. Juan Garcia, MD, Chief Medical Officer, who uses findings to build personalised plans integrating nutrition, supplementation, hormone support, and peptide therapy where indicated. The Baseline Functional Biomarker Assessment ($299) covers approximately 60 markers organised across core health systems. The metabolic and cardiovascular tier includes a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), lipid panel, ApoB (a superior cardiovascular risk predictor compared to standard LDL), Lp(a) (a genetically-influenced cardiovascular risk marker), HbA1c (three-month glucose average), and homocysteine (an independent cardiovascular and cognitive risk marker). Inflammatory markers include high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) — a systemic inflammation gauge relevant to cardiovascular disease, chronic pain, and metabolic dysfunction — and ferritin for iron status and inflammation. The hormonal tier covers testosterone (total), estradiol, estrone, progesterone, DHEA-S (adrenal reserve), cortisol (stress-axis function), luteinising hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), dihydrotestosterone (DHT), PSA (for male clients), and IGF-1 (growth hormone proxy). Thyroid function is assessed via TSH, free T3, and free T4, with free T3 being particularly relevant to energy, mood, and metabolic rate. Vitamin D is included as a foundational nutrient/hormone marker with widespread effects on immunity, bone density, and mood. The Advanced Functional Biomarker Assessment ($499) expands the panel to approximately 90 markers, incorporating deeper immune, nutritional, and inflammatory assessment alongside everything in the Baseline tier. Specialty add-on panels available separately include the TruAge Plus epigenetic biological age test, a food inflammation/sensitivity panel, genetic testing for personalised health insights, and Mitome testing for mitochondrial function assessment. A complimentary InBody body composition scan — measuring lean muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, and hydration levels — is included with most panel orders. All results are reviewed by Dr. Garcia, who discusses findings with each client and outlines a targeted optimisation protocol. Houston-area clients across Vintage Park, Heights, Midtown, The Woodlands, and Katy access Huemn Labs as a preventive health investment, particularly given the clinic's integration with IV therapy, hormone replacement therapy, and peptide protocols for those whose results indicate intervention.
