Specialty Blood & Lab Testing

Specialty blood and lab testing at Radiant Health SF through Boston Heart Diagnostics, Spectracell Laboratories, and Ulta Labs. Panels cover advanced cardiovascular risk markers, white blood cell micronutrient status, telomere length, food sensitivity antibodies via Cyrex and Alletess, and comprehensive stool analysis through Genova Diagnostics and Doctor's Data. All results are interpreted by naturopathic physicians with a functional medicine approach.

Radiant Health SF partners with several specialty reference laboratories to offer a depth of blood and diagnostic testing not typically available through standard primary care. Boston Heart Diagnostics provides advanced cardiovascular risk assessment beyond a standard lipid panel, including apolipoprotein B (ApoB), lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)), LDL particle number and size distribution, HDL functionality, inflammatory markers such as hsCRP and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), myeloperoxidase (MPO), oxidative stress indicators, omega-3 index, and genetic markers including APOE genotype relevant to Alzheimer's and cardiovascular risk stratification. Ulta Labs is used for a broad range of standard and functional panels including comprehensive metabolic panels, complete blood count, and expanded thyroid function with antibodies. Spectracell Laboratories' SpectraCell Micronutrient Panel assesses the functional intracellular status of 35 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and antioxidants within living white blood cells — measuring how efficiently lymphocytes use each nutrient intracellularly, rather than simply measuring serum concentration which may not reflect tissue sufficiency. The Spectracell panel includes telomere length measurement as an additional biological aging indicator. Food sensitivity panels are available through Meridian Valley (IgG and IgE antibody testing for 200-plus foods), Cyrex Laboratories (intestinal permeability and cross-reactive food antigen arrays), and Alletess Medical Laboratory. Comprehensive stool analysis for gut microbiome assessment, digestive enzyme function, inflammation markers, and pathogen screening is available through Meridian Valley, Genova Diagnostics (GI Effects panel), and Doctor's Data. All panels are interpreted by the clinic's naturopathic physicians using a functional lens focused on root-cause patterns rather than simply flagging single out-of-range values.
