Metabolomic Analysis Panel: A Comprehensive Metabolic Health Evaluation

Comprehensive Testing Categories in WHL’s Metabolomic Analysis Panel

1. Elemental Analysis

Evaluating essential and toxic elements for metabolic and cellular health:

✅ Blood Elements: Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Copper, Zinc, Selenium, Chromium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Lithium

✅ Toxic Elements: Aluminum, Arsenic, Cadmium, Mercury, Lead

💡 Purpose: To assess electrolyte balance, enzyme function, and heavy metal toxicity impacting metabolism.

2. Vitamin and Co-Factor Panels

In-depth analysis of water- and fat-soluble vitamins and essential metabolic cofactors:

✅ Vitamin Panels: A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7 (Biotin), B12, C, D3, E, K1

✅ Fat-Soluble Vitamin Panel: Carotenoids, A, E, D3, K1, K2

✅ Co-Factors: Carnitine, Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone)

💡 Purpose: Evaluate antioxidant protection, energy production, and micronutrient sufficiency.

3. Neurotransmitter Analysis

Measure key brain chemicals influencing mood, cognition, and sleep:

✅ Neurotransmitters: Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Serotonin, Histamine, GABA

💡 Purpose: Identify biochemical contributors to anxiety, depression, ADHD, and neurodegenerative conditions.

4. Organic Acids Testing

Evaluation of environmental toxins and metabolic by-products:

✅ Organic Acids: Markers for mitochondrial function, gut dysbiosis, detox pathways, and neurotransmitter metabolism

💡 Purpose: Detect toxin accumulation, oxidative damage, and gut-derived imbalances affecting overall health.

⚠️ The Importance of Organic Acids Testing in Metabolomics

Organic acids testing is a core part of metabolomic analysis, providing insight into:

🔹 Mitochondrial Function and Energy Metabolism – Detects Krebs cycle dysfunctions related to chronic fatigue and metabolic syndrome.

🔹 Gut Microbiome and Dysbiosis – Identifies bacterial and fungal overgrowth (e.g., D-lactate, arabinose), guiding gut repair strategies.

🔹 Neurotransmitter Pathways – Analyzes neurotransmitter metabolites, essential for mood and cognitive health.

🔹 Detoxification and Methylation – Measures detox pathway metabolites (e.g., glucaric acid), evaluating liver function and methylation status.

🔹 Nutritional Deficiencies – Markers like methylmalonic acid (B12) and formiminoglutamic acid (folate) pinpoint deficiencies.

5. Clinical Chemistry and Hematology

Essential health markers related to metabolic and systemic function:

✅ Blood Chemistry: Glucose, Total Protein, Albumin, Uric Acid, Creatinine, Bilirubin, Calcium, Phosphate, Lipid Profile (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides), Iron, Ferritin, Homocysteine

✅ Hematology: Complete Blood Count, Hemoglobin, Erythrocytes, Leukocytes, Platelets

💡 Purpose: Monitor systemic health, cardiovascular risks, and inflammatory states.

6. Endocrine and Hormonal Panels

Detailed hormonal evaluation for metabolic, reproductive, and adrenal health:

✅ Thyroid: TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, Anti-TPO, Anti-TG

✅ Adrenal: Cortisol (single and diurnal profile), DHEA, Aldosterone

✅ Reproductive Hormones: Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Progesterone, Estrogen (Estradiol, Estriol), FSH, LH, SHBG

💡 Purpose: Detect imbalances impacting weight, energy, fertility, and mood.

7. Immunology and Allergy Testing

Analyze immune system responses and sensitivities:

✅ Food Sensitivity Panels: IgG, IgE (Total and Specific to 96 or 168 food allergens)

✅ Autoimmune Panels: HLA-B27, MBL (Mannose-binding lectin deficiency)

💡 Purpose: Identify triggers of chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.

8.Gastrointestinal and Microbiome Analysis

Advanced testing for gut health and integrity:

✅ Stool Analysis: Bacterial and fungal cultures, parasites, virulence factors, Secretory IgA, Pancreatic Elastase, Calprotectin, H. pylori

✅ Intestinal Permeability Test: Assessment of “leaky gut”

💡 Purpose: Address dysbiosis, infections, and gut-driven inflammation.
