Comprehensive Blood Panel (Specialty Lab)

Specialty blood testing at Radiant Health SF through Boston Heart Diagnostics, Ulta Labs, and Spectracell Laboratories. Panels cover comprehensive thyroid and sex hormone markers, cardiovascular risk, white blood cell micronutrient status, telomere length measurement, food sensitivity antibodies, and comprehensive stool analysis. Ordered and reviewed by naturopathic physicians with functional medicine interpretation.

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