Biomarker Lab Testing & Analysis

Data-Driven Metabolic Assessment

You can't improve what you don't measure. At Duluth Metabolic, we use comprehensive biomarker testing to create a complete picture of your metabolic health — identifying the root causes of dysfunction rather than simply treating symptoms.

Our testing panels examine key metabolic markers including fasting glucose, insulin, HbA1c, lipid panels, thyroid function, vitamin D, inflammatory markers, hormone levels, and more. This data guides every aspect of your personalized treatment plan.

What We Test

  • Fasting glucose and insulin (HOMA-IR calculation)
  • HbA1c for 3-month glucose average
  • Complete lipid panel (cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL)
  • Thyroid panel (TSH, T3, T4, reverse T3)
  • Vitamin D, B12, and key nutrient levels
  • Inflammatory markers (CRP, homocysteine)
  • Liver and kidney function
  • Hormone panels (testosterone, estrogen, cortisol)
  • Metabolic markers (uric acid, ferritin)

How Testing Informs Treatment

Initial testing establishes your metabolic baseline and identifies specific dysfunctions. We then use this data to design your personalized nutrition plan, fasting protocols, supplement strategy, and exercise prescription.

Follow-up testing every 8-12 weeks tracks your progress and allows us to refine your protocol. This data-driven approach ensures we're moving in the right direction and helps identify what's working and what needs adjustment.

What to Expect

Most testing requires a fasted state (8-12 hours). We'll provide detailed preparation instructions. Results are typically available within 3-5 business days.

During your results review session, we'll walk through each biomarker, explain what it reveals about your metabolic health, and outline how it influences your treatment plan. You'll leave with clear understanding of your current state and the path forward.
