Insulin Resistance Screen

Fasting insulin is the most overlooked marker in metabolic health — and it’s almost never included in a standard panel. Combined with a BMP, this test allows calculation of your HOMA-IR score, the gold standard measure of insulin resistance.

What we test

  • Insulin
  • Glucose (Blood)
  • Creatinine
  • BUN/Creatinine Ratio
  • Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate
  • Calcium
  • Blood Urea Nitrogen
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Chloride
  • Potassium
  • Sodium

My approach goes beyond standard care — I evaluate the hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory root causes that most conventional workups miss. Every supplement in my dispensary is evidence-informed and chosen for quality, bioavailability, and clinical relevance. I recommend only what I would take myself or prescribe to my own family.
