Empower Women's Health

Advanced Wellness & Deep-Dive Labs

Find what others miss — and build a care plan around the real you.

Tired of being told your labs are 'normal' when you feel anything but? We go well beyond the standard annual panel to uncover the root causes of fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, mood issues, and more — then build a personalized care plan around what we actually find.

What's Included

Everything in your care plan.

Complete Thyroid Panel

TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, and thyroid antibodies (TPO, TgAb) — not just TSH. Subclinical thyroid dysfunction is frequently missed with standard testing.

Adrenal & Cortisol Function

Cortisol patterns, DHEA-S, and adrenal output to assess stress response, energy regulation, and burnout-related dysfunction.

Metabolic & Inflammatory Markers

Fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, hs-CRP, homocysteine, advanced lipid fractionation (NMR), and HbA1c to assess cardiovascular and metabolic risk with precision.

Nutrient & Micronutrient Status

Vitamin D, B12, ferritin, magnesium, zinc, omega-3 index, and more — deficiencies that are incredibly common and frequently overlooked as drivers of symptoms.

Is This Right for Me?

  • Anyone who feels unwell but has been told their labs are 'fine'

Common Questions

What patients ask about this service.

What makes these labs different from what my primary care orders?

+
Standard panels are designed for disease screening — they catch major problems but miss the grey zone where most people who 'feel off' actually live. We order functional ranges, additional markers, and interpret results in the context of your symptoms and goals, not just population-level cutoffs.

Do I need to fast for these labs?

+
For the most accurate results, a 10–12 hour fast is ideal for metabolic and lipid markers. Some hormone tests are best done at a specific time of day or cycle day for women. We'll give you detailed prep instructions when we order your labs.

Will my insurance cover advanced labs?

+
We are a direct-pay practice. Lab costs vary by panel and are billed through the lab directly (LabCorp or Quest). Many tests are covered by insurance if ordered with appropriate diagnosis codes; others may be out-of-pocket. We use FSA/HSA-eligible labs and can provide documentation for reimbursement.
