Imagine feeling more energetic, losing weight, and reducing your risk of chronic diseases because you know how to eat right for your body. Nutrition is never one-size-fits-all. What works for one person may not work for you, and that’s where lab testing comes in.
Double-board-certified in internal medicine and pediatrics, Dr. Greg Naman and Dr. Ted Naman know the importance of a good dietary plan. At Blue Sky Provention Center in Southfield, Michigan, we offer multiple tests that gauge your current state of health. From there, we can provide recommendations for your optimal caloric intake and diet style suggestions.
Our Nutrition-Based Lab Tests
Our lab tests reveal details about your body’s current health status across the board. This information helps us understand what your body needs so we can guide you toward better health. Here are some of the key tests we offer and how they relate to nutritional needs:
- Dexa Scan: Measures bone density and body composition.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Evaluates liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and glucose levels, which are essential for assessing overall health and nutritional status.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): Provides information about the blood cells, which can indicate deficiencies (e.g., iron, vitamin B12) and overall health.
- Lipid Panel: Measures cholesterol levels and triglycerides, important for understanding dietary needs and cardiovascular health.
- Lipoprotein (a): A specific type of lipid that can give more detailed information about heart disease risk and dietary needs.
- Folate: Measures folic acid levels, an essential vitamin for many bodily functions, including cell production.
- Vitamin D: Assesses vitamin D levels, which is crucial for bone health and overall well-being.
- Vitamin B-12: Measures vitamin B12 levels, which are essential for nerve function and red blood cell production.
- Iron: Measures the amount of iron in the blood, important for preventing anemia and maintaining energy levels.
- Transferrin: Evaluates iron transport in the body, giving insight into iron metabolism and nutritional needs.
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): Evaluates thyroid function.
- Ferritin: Assesses stored iron in the body, providing information about iron status and potential deficiencies.
- Body Composition Analysis: Determines the proportion of fat and lean mass in the body, which is crucial for creating tailored nutrition plans.
- Resting Metabolic Rate: Measures the amount of energy expended at rest, which helps in designing calorie-specific nutrition plans.
These tests help assess various nutritional deficiencies, metabolic functions, and overall health, which are essential for nutrition planning.
What to Expect From the Testing Process
Our tests are administered using a range of methods. Depending on the specific test, you might lie down for an X-ray or image scan, provide a blood sample, or perform light physical activity. Our team will guide you through each step to ensure you understand the process and feel comfortable throughout.
After running your tests, our team analyzes your results to provide our recommendations. We focus on macro recommendations, caloric intake, and diet style rather than traditional nutrition counseling. Following these broad guidelines can have a big impact. If you would like a more detailed and customized diet plan, we encourage you to bring your lab results to a nutritionist.
As part of your membership, we’ll offer continuous support, check-ins, and adjustments as needed to help you stay on track and achieve your health goals.
