Advanced Lab Testing

At Dr. Mark’s clinic, we understand that every patient’s journey is different, and so are their health needs. That’s why we offer a variety of advanced lab tests through trusted partners like US BioTek, Diagnostic Solutions, Cleveland HeartLab, Vibrant Wellness, Access Laboratories, and more. These partnerships allow us to explore various aspects of your health, from food sensitivities and gut imbalances to cardiovascular risk and environmental toxins.

Dr. Mark takes the time to sit down with each patient to discuss their symptoms, health history, and wellness goals. Together, we determine which tests are most relevant to uncover the root cause of your concerns. By utilizing specialized labs, we can gain deeper insights into factors such as mold exposure, heavy metal toxicity, and food intolerances, leading to a personalized and effective approach to your care.

Our advanced lab testing goes beyond traditional medical tests to uncover hidden imbalances and toxicities that may be affecting your health and well-being.

Cleveland HeartLab – Cardiovascular & Wellness Panel

The Cleveland HeartLab panel is our most comprehensive cardiovascular and metabolic health assessment. This advanced test evaluates a wide range of biomarkers, offering a detailed snapshot of your heart and overall health. Dr. Mark’s custom panel includes markers for inflammation, lipid health, glucose metabolism, nutrient levels, and more. By providing insights into areas like cholesterol particle size, hormone balance, vitamin deficiencies, and levels of key inflammatory markers, this panel helps identify potential risks before they become major health concerns.

Cleveland HeartLab Sample Report

A Full-Circle Approach to Wellness

This test goes beyond traditional lipid panels to explore inflammation, metabolic health, and essential nutrients. Markers such as myeloperoxidase (MPO), oxidized LDL (OxLDL), and ADMA provide a more nuanced view of heart health, while tests like omega-3 fatty acid levels and insulin resistance scores offer valuable insights into metabolic and dietary health. This extensive panel allows Dr. Mark to design personalized, proactive care plans that target underlying imbalances and promote long-term wellness.

US BioTek – Food Sensitivity Tests

The US BioTek 96 Food Sensitivity Test is a targeted assessment that identifies potential food sensitivities affecting your health. This test measures IgG antibodies, which indicate delayed immune reactions to 96 common foods, including dairy, grains, fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts, and more. Food sensitivities differ from allergies as they can lead to delayed symptoms that may take hours or even days to manifest. By pinpointing your unique sensitivities, we can design a personalized plan to help reduce inflammation and support your well-being.

Understanding Symptoms and Inflammation

Food sensitivities can contribute to a wide range of symptoms, including digestive issues like bloating, gas, or diarrhea, as well as migraines, joint pain, skin rashes, and brain fog. Over time, ongoing immune reactions to trigger foods may lead to chronic inflammation and contribute to a condition known as leaky gut, where the intestinal lining becomes more permeable. This increased permeability allows toxins and undigested food particles to enter the bloodstream, which can exacerbate inflammation and lead to further health complications.

Personalized Insights for Optimal Health

Using a simple blood sample, the US BioTek 96 Test offers valuable insights into which foods might be contributing to your symptoms. With this information, Dr. Mark can guide you through a tailored elimination plan to reduce exposure to problem foods, promote gut healing, and enhance overall health.

Diagnosis Solutions GI-Map

The GI-MAP (Gastrointestinal Microbial Assay Plus) is a comprehensive stool test designed to provide a detailed analysis of your gut health. This advanced test uses cutting-edge DNA analysis to identify and measure a wide range of gut microorganisms, including bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi. Unlike traditional stool tests, the GI-MAP offers a more precise and comprehensive view of the gut microbiome, helping identify imbalances or infections that could be affecting digestion, immune function, and overall health.

A Deeper Look at Gut Health

The GI-MAP not only highlights pathogenic microorganisms but also measures key markers related to gut inflammation, leaky gut, and digestive enzyme function. With this information, Dr. Mark can pinpoint specific imbalances or hidden infections contributing to symptoms like bloating, diarrhea, brain fog, or skin issues. By addressing the root causes of gut dysfunction, this test helps create targeted and effective treatment plans to support digestive health and whole-body wellness.
