Tempus is a next generation pharmacogenetics test (PGx) we use to help provide you with personalized psychiatric care and make more informed treatment decisions based on your individual genetic makeup. Tempus helps us understand how your body might respond and process different psychiatric medications based on your genes and gives us a list of which medications would work best for you. The test is administered in our office, and works by collecting a saliva sample.
We are able to do all basic labs such as Basic Blood Count (CBC), Complete Metabolic Panel (CMP), Liver function panel, Vitamin D levels, etc… We can use the labs to help guide your care in overall wellness.
Many times, depression and anxiety are related to nutritional and vitamin deficiencies. For those suffering from depression and anxiety and utilizing our ketamine infusion program, we believe that looking into key laboratory data may help you achieve results faster.
We use many of our basic labs to guide those through our NAD addiction plan. We will monitor your liver function, hydration, and electrolytes to safely guide patients through our addiction recovery program. Laboratory data helps us optimize patients’ treatment plans while battling chronic disease, cancer, environmental toxin exposure, and addiction recovery.
We can run a hormone panel that will help us determine if your hormones are causing a decline in wellness. This panel will test estrogen, testosterone, thyroid, and other basic labs. If a hormone imbalance exists, we can help patients balance their system by utilizing appropriate treatments. Many of us suffer from low libido, fatigue, soreness, overall lack of motivation.
After doing our hormone panel, we can determine if our bioidentical hormone replacement is right for you. This treatment more effective and has fewer side effects than other hormone replacement options. We will make sure hormone replacement is safe for the patient, walk them through hormone replacement options and explain what to expect when thinking about hormone replacement.
When our body is stressed, we experience a spike in cortisol, and our
health declines. This leads to weight gain, lethargy, anxiety, and an
overall decrease in health. Unfortunately stress is relentless in today’s society, and many times our lab data shows this. We can do multiple lab studies to determine if you are in an adrenal crisis from chronic stress, then develop a step-by-step care plan to reduce your stress response. We can tailor a plan to include lifestyle changes, supplements, IV therapy, and other holistic treatments. Our NAD+, Immune Booster, and Myers Cocktail IV infusions are particularly helpful in helping to reduce the harmful effects of chronic stress on your body.
We can utilize our heavy metal lab testing to guide patients who have had exposure and side effects from heavy metal exposure.
