How It Works
One Labcorp blood draw. We measure markers tied to bone turnover, hormones, metabolism, and inflammation. Together, they help you see if your skeleton is being broken down faster than it rebuilds, whether hormones are supporting or undermining strength, and if hidden nutrient or autoimmune factors are in play.
What You’ll Learn
Bone Turnover & Hormones: Is breakdown outpacing rebuilding? Are hormone shifts affecting strength?
Metabolic & Inflammatory Stress: Is sugar control or inflammation undermining your foundation?
Nutrient & Autoimmune Signals: Do vitamin D, phosphorus, or thyroid gaps signal higher risk?
