The LabSafe Comprehensive Wellness Profile is now even better with the addition of the NMR LipoProfile Test! The NMR LipoProfile Test utilizes the latest testing technology, NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance), for a thorough analysis of your cardiovascular risk. Studies show that half of people who had heart attacks had normal cholesterol levels. Cholesterol alone only gives you half the picture of your risk for a heart attack.
Thanks to relatively new research, we understand that heart disease, or the blocking of arteries, is caused by lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are particles or "vehicles" in the blood that carry cholesterol. If we can think of heart disease as a traffic jam with particles as cars and cholesterol as passengers, we realize that traffic jams are caused when there are too many cars (particles) on the road (artery). It's the number of cars (particles) that cause the traffic jam, not the passengers (cholesterol). Just as cars cause the traffic jam, particles cause heart disease. Now, we have the whole picture. The NMR LipoProfile test is two tests in one that measures traditional cholesterol and the number of lipoprotein particles.
The Wall Street Journal called the NMR LipoProfile Test one of the most "promising screening tests [that] could save your life." By accurately measuring the number and types of cholesterol and lipid particles in your bloodstream, this test best understands your actual cholesterol levels, which are used to predict your real risk of cardiac disease and cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack.
As Doctor Seth Baum, one of the nation's leading Cardiologists says:
"As an interventional Cardiologist turned preventive, my goal has evolved into one devoted to uncovering ways to help my patients live better, longer lives. From an identification and management perspective, the one tool that has unquestionably had the most widespread and profound impact on my patients is the NMR LipoProfile. I have used the LipoProfile as my exclusive test to measure and treat lipid disorders for the past six years. Having performed thousands of these analyses I can safely say that their use frequently reveals the presence of hidden but manageable lipid-related risk, which when treated diminishes the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Anecdotally, in my own cardiology practice we cannot recall the last time one of our patients experienced a heart attack. I attribute much of this clinical success to the diligent use of precise LDL particle information, something which can be found only with NMR technology. The knowledge gained from such testing has value that eclipses the standard LDL cholesterol information. My hope is that in short order enough doctors will understand the immense clinical breakthrough inherent in the NMR LipoProfile so it will become the standard for everyone rather than a bonus for the opportune."

However, this unique LabSafe panel goes far beyond measuring cholesterol and lipids. The Comprehensive Wellness Profile also includes panels of lab tests that check the health of your body's major systems. Many diseases can go unchecked for years and not produce symptoms until it is too late to prevent them from becoming serious. The Wellness Profile checks these body systems and can detect early if something is starting to not work right, much like a mechanic uses a computer to check your car for early signs of wear and tear. The Wellness Profile tests your liver, kidneys, thyroid, blood, urine, cholesterol, immune and cardiovascular systems. The LabSafe Wellness Profile is unique because at LabSafe we understand the biochemical differences between men and women and therefore have tests tailored for each.
By identifying problem areas early, you may be able to make adjustments to your diet, exercise, and lifestyle. You may be able to prevent early wear and tear on your body that can cause you to need prescription medications too young in life. Take the LabSafe Wellness Profile test today so that you can be in control, and aware of your own health!
