Our heart panel measures common risk factors associated with heart disease, with a focus on lipoproteins (particles that carry cholesterol and triglycerides, two types of fat commonly used to assess heart health), the aforementioned fats, and inflammation.

The nutrients and electrolytes included in the Foundational Health Test are crucial to various physiological functions within the body. The B-vitamins, magnesium, homocysteine, and vitamin D essential to energy production, DNA synthesis, heart health, bone health, and immune regulation, and more. The electrolytes play key roles in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, optimal cellular performance, and in regulating PH levels. 

The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck, below the Adam's apple. It works by signaling the release of hormones when the body needs them. A malfunctioning thyroid either signals too much or not enough and cannot regulate the balance. When either of these processes occur, it is called hypo- or hyperthyroidism (under or overactive).

Hormones are messenger molecules that work together to make up the body's intricate web of communication. They impact areas of health including metabolism, mood regulaiton and mental health, fertility, and more. When they're in balance, things hum along smoothly, but if they're out of whack—think too much or too little—it can throw off your entire system. 

Metabolic health is measured by the body’s ability to generate, process, and utilize energy. Our metabolism involves various chemical processes to digest food, build muscle, convert food to energy, and use and store that energy.

The immune system is your body’s shield against infections, toxins, diseases, and other threats. It's a sophisticated network of organs, cells, tissues, and proteins collaborating to safeguard your health. The Immune Balance biomarkers in the Malla Foundational Health Test focus on white blood cells and inflammation markers, key indicators of immune health.

Blood, often seen as just a red liquid, is far more than meets the eye. it's a dynamic system vital to your body's function. It delivers oxygen, nutrients, and essential substances throughout your body, much like a bustling delivery network. 

Kidneys, the two bean-shaped organs in the back of the torso, are vital organs that are responsible for filtering waste products and excess fluids from your blood. Efficient kidney function plays a role in eliminating waste, regulating fluid levels, controlling blood pressure, facilitating the production of red blood cells, and maintaining the delicate balance of electrolytes within the body

The liver oversees more than 500 vital functions essential for our body's well-being. It acts as a chemist, finely adjusting the chemical makeup of the blood—nutrients, minerals, and key substances—to suit our body's specific needs. From producing bile to detoxifying the bloodstream, the liver is quite the unsung hero.
