In this episode of Daily Value, we look at the influence of B vitamins on mental health and neuropsychiatric disorders. The discussion is centered around a recently published meta-analysis suggesting a causal link between B vitamin deficiencies and the development of conditions such as Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease. Talking points include the distinct impacts of vitamins B12, B6, and B9 (folate) on brain health, their role in one-carbon metabolism, and findings from various studies on their protective effects.00:00 Introduction to B Vitamins and Mental Health00:45 Understanding the Meta-Analysis02:07 The Role of B Vitamins in One Carbon Metabolism02:47 Homocysteine and Neuropsychiatric Disorders03:19 B Vitamin Supplementation and Cognitive Decline03:55 Vitamin B12 and Parkinson's Disease06:26 Vitamin B6 and Schizophrenia08:27 Folate and Alzheimer's Disease09:02 Conclusion and Key TakeawaysPMID: 39952338PMID: 26757190PMID: 32257364PMID: 30858560PMID: 32424116PMID: 33941768Support the show

 There is a cheap and easy lab test that can give you a lot of information about your risk for scary things like  heart attack, stroke, dementia, brain shrinkage, osteoporosis and more. It could save your life.  But most doctors won't order it unless you ask them to because they don't know what to do with the results.  But you're about to.  Let's talk about homocysteine.come to my website: www.healthcouragecollective.comemail me: healthcouragecollective@gmail.com

In this episode of Daily Value, we look into the synergistic relationship between two nutrient classes in supporting brain health and mitigating cognitive decline. Drawing on evidence from past clinical evidence suggesting these two nutrient classes work in tandem to support brain function and health.Discussion Points:-Homocysteine's role in disrupting fatty acid incorporation into cell membranes and amyloid-beta clearance.-Findings from one study, where some 70-year-old participants experienced up to 30% reduction in brain atrophy.-Practical strategies to optimize intake of these nutrients.00:00 Introduction to Brain Health and Nutrition01:06 Understanding Mild Cognitive Impairment01:44 The Role of B Vitamins and Omega-3s02:34 Mechanisms of One Carbon Metabolism03:06 Impact of Homocysteine on Brain Health04:12 Key Studies on Nutrient Synergy07:05 Practical Dietary Recommendations08:07 Conclusion and Final Thoughtshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22260268/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29480200/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26757190/Support the show

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog I am not sure if you play THE “WHAT'S THE DISEASE THAT I DON'T WANT TO HAVE GAME with yourself, but since I am a doctor I have spent a lot of time thinking about what diseases I do not want! I started my list in medical school when I witnessed what certain diseases can do to your life.  Medicine has many cures and treatments, yet some diseases that are treated still can negatively change your life forever. Even though losing a limb and amputation were at the top of my list there is one disease that tops my list.  Of course, I also have under stroke the usual scary situations like paralysis, or having an incapacitating heart attack that prevents an individual from taking care of himself or herself. However, my most feared diagnosis is having a STROKE! You may not fully comprehend how a stroke can change your life, but it can affect your speech, your ability to move, to think, to go places, to have a sense of humor, to write and communicate, even to have a sexual relationship with your loved one. A stroke essentially can take away your ability to be the person you have always been, AND it requires that someone must become your caretaker.  That helplessness is something I am most afraid of….We all have our personal fears, but whether you fear having a stroke or not, you should  try your hardest to avoid having one! DEFINITION: a stoke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood flow to the brain is  blocked or a blood vessel bursts. This can damage or kill parts of the brain, which can lead to long-term disability, brain damage, or even death.  This can cause s a loss of function, physical, mental, and  emotional, and loss of one or more of the senses like sensation, speech, sight, hearing and  taste and smell! In my practice at BioBalance Health we always work with our patients to prevent them having a stroke and or heart attack. These two conditions are the biggest villains that steal the joy of our “golden years” from us.  From the start of my BioBalance Health practice, I have incorporated  healthy diet training, exercise options and encouragement, how and what to take to supplement my patients' diet and how to outsmart their genetic makeup so they can be healthier than their parents. All of these lifestyle changes can decrease the risk of stroke and heart attack in a person. So what is it like to have a stroke? First let's go over what symptoms are typical of someone having a stroke. The symptoms of a stroke are multiple, and a person might not have all of them. Weakness on one side of the body Facial drooping on one side of the face Dizziness Numbness Loss of balance Sudden loss of vision. Trouble making sense when speaking Trouble talking, reading or understanding Sudden nausea and vomiting Brief loss of consciousness such as fainting, seizures, confusion, or coma. When someone has one or more of these symptoms it is an emergency, and you should call 911, then start asking the patient to open their eyes, smile, raise both arms and hold them up. Ask them to talk to see if their speech is impaired. Your findings will be helpful to the EMTs who come to the scene. An event is called a stroke, when there is a deficit in physical or mental function and that deficit continues and doesn't go away.  If it the symptoms completely resolve, it is called a TIA- a transient Ischemic attack. It is a warning to see a doctor and make sure you don't have a stroke in the future and it is a wakeup call to stop all poor lifestyle choices.   PREVENTING A STROKE: This last month, the American Heart and Stroke prevention Association released new Guidelines on how to prevent a stroke.  I think talking about the risk factors for stroke and discussing how to prevent having one, is worthy of discussion. Recently the medical guidelines for stroke prevention have been revised, and even though I think a few more things should have been included, the fact that they made the first change in the guidelines in 10 years is a first step. Here is what they advise all people who are aging should do.   #1 See your internal medicine or Family physician regularly, at least yearly #2. Stop sedentary behavior—walk/exercise/ do Yoga, just get out of the chair for the majority of your day! #3. If you are diabetic, they advocate going on Ozempic/Mounjaro to lose weight—that will lower your risk of a stroke, and heart attack.. #4 If you are hypertensive, take your BP medicine every day #5 Follow these lifestyle changes called Life's Essential 8: Your behavior and lifestyle put you at risk for having a stroke:    Healthy diet, low carb Mediterranean diet, no junk food!  Physical activity every day  Achieve a healthy weight,  Make sure your sleep is restful  Stop use of tobacco products, No smoking or vaping  Achieve healthy levels of blood glucose, and blood pressure.  Don't drink more than one 4 oz glass of wine a day  I add these recommendations to theirs for the care of my patients:   Drink ½ your weight in water every day Wat at least half your weight in grams of protein a day Get a Cardiac calcium scan to see if you have arterial plaque. If you do have plaque (arteriosclerosis) then you are at risk for stroke as well. See a cardiologist to be treated preventatively and tested. Option other than a cardiac calcium scan, get a carotid ultrasound to make sure you don't have plaque in the neck vessels that lead to your brain.. Make sure your Homocysteine level is normal (

See all the Healthcasts at https://www.biobalancehealth.com/healthcast-blog There is a new federal rule for lab companies that requires them to report your blood tests to you as soon as they are finished, often even before your doctor has seen them.  This rule, deemed unreasonable, was established by individuals without medical expertise (politicians), who know little about interpreting lab data or the workings of doctor's offices. Sending your lab results to you before doctors can assess them is not a decision rooted in sound medical practice but rather in the notion of individual freedom. While this is important, it does not compare to having an expert interpret your results with you. The law requiring that your lab results be sent to you as soon as they are completed does not consider the fact that these results are not designed for laymen to interpret. Additionally, lab results are meant to be analyzed alongside a patient's medical history, age, gender, and medications.  The results are not tailored to report information specific to your situation, which is how a doctor would interpret them. Lab results often lack layperson-friendly explanations. This new protocol can cause anxiety, as patients may panic over results that appear abnormal, even if they are normal for their specific medical condition and treatment. Furthermore, lab companies only request your age and gender. The factors that doctors evaluate when interpreting your results are diverse and numerous, each influencing the overall interpretation. What are the considerations that doctors add to their interpretation? Menopausal status Medical conditions Healthy normal for young and healthy adults The newest recommended ranges for health Body weight Other lab values seen on the same report The problem with you getting your own lab and interpreting it as written is multifactorial: The lab is sent to you digitally with very little explanation except for reference ranges. There is no information about who you are being compared to. Other women, both men and women? Old women? Young women? Women with symptoms or women who are well without symptoms.  The reporting of the lab results to a patient directly may hide problems that need action or create fears that are unnecessary. Anxiety over your results will continue until your doctor's appointment to discuss … so you may experience unnecessary worry in many circumstances. Reference ranges make many assumptions, but labs don't input vital information about you into their computer. your age of menopause, your weight your height (or BMI) previous illnesses and your medications. if you are on hormones or testosterone   Here is a good example. The test for pituitary hormones FSH and LH. When a woman aged 45 is menopausal, and has a very high FSH and LH, the lab says it is “normal” (in the reference range), yet the woman is having severe hot flashes, night sweats, anxiety, and insomnia.  That is not healthy or “normal”. The same two tests can be used to determine if a person is menopausal. Let's say a 42-year-old woman has elevated FSH and LH, but her estradiol is very high (200-300). To the layperson, this looks like menopause, but in reality, it is the picture of ovulation, not menopause. One has to look at another test, estradiol, to determine whether she is premenopausal and ovulating or menopausal (her estradiol would be very low, and FSH and LH would be high). See the problem? Reference Ranges don't tell you what the doctor is looking for. The same two tests, FSH and LH, are used to diagnose polycystic ovaries (PCO) too.  In women without PCO, the FSH is higher than the LH, but if the LH is greater than the FSH, the diagnosis of PCO should be considered! There is no information about this interpretation in the lab report. Falling within the reference range doesn't guarantee health or absence of symptoms. If patients are to interpret their own lab results, reference ranges should reflect health in every possible scenario. FSH and LH are influenced by BCPs and menopausal HRT. Lab results should be interpreted considering the information regarding BCPs or ERT that the patient is taking. When women are on BCPs and HRT or ERT, their FSH and LH levels are suppressed to an extremely low point. If you are unaware that the patient is taking these hormones, it may appear that the diagnosis is pituitary failure affecting estrogen levels and ovulation. Only doctors can interpret this test. There should truly be a “normal” range for those undergoing hormone replacement therapy, along with a reference range that reflects overall health, rather than merely the average for your geographical area in the US or your age group. Please make an appointment with your doctor to review your lab results so you can understand how they are interpreted. If you have questions about your lab results that are concerning you, schedule a time to discuss them with your doctor. Doctors don't have the time to explain results over the phone or through email—that is what appointments are meant for. Phone calls to doctors' offices are not intended for lab result interpretation. You or your insurance will not compensate the doctor or NP for this service over the phone.   The reference ranges for many tests and medical situations are actually wrong. If you aren't trained as a doctor or Nurse practitioner who interprets metabolic lab results every day, you could get the wrong diagnosis!!! For example, when evaluating a patient for insulin resistance, the reference range was officially changed almost two decades ago. Still, the lab companies have left the normal range very high (insulin> 18). In the revised range, fasting insulin diagnoses insulin resistance if the value is > 10. The resulting outcome is that many people are not diagnosed at a time when they can be easily treated without drugs and are told that they are “normal” when they are really experiencing insulin resistance. This is misleading and just wrong! Lab values are not adjusted to your individual situation.   Many tests are adjusted for gender; however, some are specifically adjusted for women who are menstruating regarding H/H. In other words, men and women have different “normal” H/H levels in the reference range. Women who do not menstruate or who are menopausal should be compared to the same reference range as men, but that does not happen. This leads to menopausal women, who are normal, often being told they have too many red blood cells when that is not the case. Conversely, menopausal women who are truly anemic are told they are normal, which means it takes longer to diagnose their anemia from colon cancer! The H/H should have a reference range that is considered “normal” for a woman's stage in life, depending on whether she is experiencing menstrual periods or not. Many reference ranges are averages for regions of the US and vary between lab companies; therefore, they are not reliable values for comparing patients.   For instance, the Homocysteine test has a normal range that is relatively high, and each lab has different reference ranges. This test serves as a screening tool for MTHFR genetic risk related to embolic stroke and heart disease.   The suggested treatment involves methylated B vitamins; however, the interpretation on the lab printout advises taking B12 and folic acid, which, in my experience, tends to increase the number rather than decrease it. Reference ranges for nutrients, vitamins, and minerals reflect the minimum levels needed for survival, not optimal health. For example, B12 reference range levels for B12 blood levels are listed as 200-1100 pg/ml, yet I was trained to try to achieve 400 -1500 pg/ml. The lower range of the written reference range (200-400) is not healthy. The desired blood levels for vitamins are often controversial, and various medical colleges issue new recommendations on Vitamin D levels each month. Consequently, doctors must determine which level of Vitamin D to recommend for their patients. These institutions not only provide changing reference ranges but also offer differing advice on how frequently to test Vitamin D. This inconsistency arises primarily from the ongoing debate about the minimum acceptable level of Vitamin D. I have more information about your lab results next week that your doctor may not share with you. There is a lot of controversy surrounding the reference ranges on the lab sheet, and you should know the truth in case your doctor doesn't.

Could the right form of a single vitamin be the difference between thriving and barely surviving? In this Part 2 conversation, human biologist and longevity expert Gary Brecka reveals the #1 overlooked factor that's wrecking your health: methylation—your body's ability to convert nutrients into fuel. If this process fails, your hormones, energy, and even mental health take a nosedive. Gary and Dave dive deep into the real cause of anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders, the hidden genetic reason why diets fail, and why Big Pharma isn't talking about this critical health breakthrough. Are you unknowingly setting yourself up for disease? What's the simple fix that can reverse anxiety, gut problems, and even prevent genetic disease? And why is your doctor ignoring one of the biggest markers of longevity?

In this conversation, Stephen Thomas and Richard Smith discuss various aspects of nutrition, particularly focusing on the carnivore diet, its effects on health, and the importance of understanding nutrient absorption and supplementation. They explore topics such as folate and homocysteine levels, the relationship between diet and longevity, the role of cholesterol in heart health, and the impact of electrolytes on anxiety. The discussion emphasises the significance of feeling well and understanding individual health rather than solely relying on numbers and tests. Takeaways Folate is crucial for breaking down homocysteine into methionine. How you feel is more important than just lab numbers. Humans can potentially live to 120 years with the right diet. Dietary sources of nutrients are vital, especially organ meats. Supplements should not replace real food; real nutrition comes first. Histamine intolerance can be managed by dietary adjustments. Thyroid health may require specific supplements like iodine and selenium. Cholesterol is essential for cell formation and nutrient absorption. Electrolyte balance is crucial for overall health and can affect anxiety levels. Community support and engagement are important for health journeys.

We're digging into how homocysteine impacts fertility. Our goal at Fab Fertile is to reduce inflammation in your body and boost your immune system so you can prepare for pregnancy success. But how can you tell if you have inflammation in the body? A good marker to get tested is your homocysteine. Optimal homocysteine levels are crucial for overall health and high levels can lead to inflammation. Plus, healthy homocysteine levels are essential for egg and sperm health. So, what are the exact steps to improve homocysteine levels and get pregnant this year?   In this episode, you'll learn: 1) What is homocysteine, and why does it matter for fertility (i.e., ovulation, egg health, sperm health, embryo quality, implantation, and pregnancy outcomes) 2) What are the optimal reference ranges for healthy homocysteine levels in the blood 3) Which foods can help improve homocysteine levels 4) Which supplements can help with homocysteine levels (i.e., MTHFR gene variant (60-80% of us have this variant) and how can this impact homocysteine)   --- RESOURCES: Fab Fertile Method https://www.fabfertile.com/what-we-do/   Ultimate Guide to Getting Pregnant This Year If You Have Low AMH/High FSH - https://fabfertile.clickfunnels.com/optinvbzjfsii   --- I just put together a new guide, “Reconnecting With Your Fertility: Preparing Your Body With Diet” that I'm going to give you pro bono (aka, free

In this episode, I dive into the topic of elevated homocysteine levels in the context of a plant-based diet.

In today's episode, Dr. Pardee and I discuss all things related to blood work and the importance of various tests for our overall health. Dr. Pardee emphasizes the significance of blood work as a window into our body's internal health. While external symptoms may be noticeable, blood work can reveal underlying issues that may not have any visible signs. Tests like the Comprehensive Metabolic Panel and Lipid Panel are crucial in detecting early signs of diseases like heart disease and diabetes. She then sheds some light on homocysteine. Homocysteine levels can provide valuable insights into our body's methylation cycle and potential deficiencies in essential vitamins and cofactors. Elevated homocysteine levels have been associated with increased risks of cardiovascular diseases and cognitive impairment. Testing homocysteine and addressing any imbalances can help reduce these risks. If you've ever been curious about what your blood work results mean or why certain tests are important, this episode is a must-listen!

The field of functional medicine is expanding and evolving, with a growing recognition of its importance in 21st-century healthcare. Combining functional medicine with other chiropractic techniques, such as upper cervical chiropractic, can be challenging and may require a deep understanding of both disciplines. Continual learning and staying up-to-date with research are essential in functional medicine to provide the best care for patients. Finding a competent functional medicine doctor involves researching and interviewing practitioners, as well as considering their approach to individualized care. Collaboration with other practitioners is essential for providing comprehensive care to patients. Understanding patient needs and referring them to the appropriate specialists is crucial for optimal outcomes. Metabolic factors, such as blood sugar and oxygen levels, should be considered in the treatment of common conditions in upper cervical practice. Homocysteine levels can be an important marker of health and should be monitored and treated if elevated. Objective markers, such as lab tests, can provide valuable information and help track patient progress. Zone two training, at 60-70% of maximum heart rate, can be highly beneficial for cardiovascular health. Dr. John has written a book on autoimmune diseases and is working on a book specifically on multiple sclerosis. Finding your passion and specializing in a specific area of practice can lead to greater success and fulfillment. Thanks for listening!

ADHD is the most common neurodevelopmental disorder in children under 18. The prevalence of ADHD is rising dramatically, with 1 in 20 children being on behavior modifying medications such as Adderall and Ritalin. These are medications that act as central nervous system stimulants, and can cause nervousness, agitation, anxiety, insomnia, vomiting, mood swings, an increased heart rate, increased blood pressure and even psychosis in susceptible individuals. Most research indicates the increase in ADHD is directly linked to poor gut health, the food that children eat, how they sleep and even how they breath. Join us in this episode as we explore natural alternatives for ADHD including diet, lifestyle, and supplements, that can help your kids (and adults) focus better and beat hyperactivity. Citations 1.

Join us as we dive into these widely recognized yet often misunderstood terms that impact heart health, mental well-being, fertility, and more. The surge in popularity around methylation, MTHFR, and homocysteine has led to a barrage of misinformation.  In this enlightening episode, we've invited Dr. Denise Furness, a distinguished molecular geneticist boasting over two decades of expertise in folate nutrigenomics, methylation, and DNA damage. Join us for a wealth of game-changing insights as Denise delves deep into: Understanding methylation's pivotal role in your health Unraveling the impact of the MTHFR gene on methylation levels Optimal homocysteine levels and their significance Essential lab markers for optimizing your health Debunking concerns about over-methylation - Check out SelfDecode - Join Joe's online community

This podcast discusses homocysteine, a lab test that is commonly ordered when someone has issues with their MTHFR gene or is at increased risk for stroke and dementia. The typical lab range for homocysteine is 10 to 14, but the speaker aims for a range of 6 to 7. Homocysteine can be elevated in people with heart disease risk, dementia, stroke risk, or B vitamin deficiency.

Have you heard of Lp(a)? Want to know how you can lower this important cardiovascular risk marker? Tune in to hear us discuss lipoprotein a, what it means, ideal ranges, and how you can lower it naturally to decrease your risk.    Lp(a) is an independent risk factor for heart disease and stroke, yet often overlooked or left unchecked. Conventional treatment with statin drugs can actually increase Lp(a) values by 15-20%, increasing your risk. In this episode we will discuss natural ways to lower Lp(a) from PCSK9 inhibitors, to bile drivers, to fiber, and specific nutrients that address this lab value without the side effects of medication.    Also in this episode:  Save $50 on the CardioMetabolic Panel with code CMP50 Episode 284 on how to navigate a cardiometabolic panel + interventions Episode 296 Carnitine + arrhythmia and heart failure Episode 331 Homocysteine and vascular health + blood pressure updates What is Lp(a)?

Today's episode is a supplement spotlight on folic acid/folate. This supplement is incredibly common for those on their baby-making journey whether trying naturally or via IVF. It's probably the number one most prescribed vitamin even by conventional medical standards. Why? There is a lot of solid research to support its use in fertility treatment and pregnancy. Studies among couples undergoing infertility treatment in Europe suggest that folate may improve reproductive success. Those who received a folic acid supplement had better quality eggs and a higher mature egg yield than women who did not receive folic acid. It also helps boost progesterone and correct issues with late ovulation.The question is - why does it work? We're reacting to a lot of things these days. Inflammation is heightened for a variety of reasons - poor quality food, high stress, MTHFR mutation and more... Adequate levels of folate may help to keep histamine and homocysteine down. Homocysteine is a major player in blood clotting, failed implantation, poor egg quality and more. A cohort study including 259 women who were regularly menstruating showed a connection between a higher homocysteine concentration and an increased risk of a lack of ovulation by 33%. Furthermore, folic acid or folate showed decreased homocysteine levels.Note that I recommend Folate in place of folic acid in combination with vitamins B-12 and B-6 for best absorption. You will most often see me prescribing folate as it is associated with higher progesterone levels, helping egg quality and decreasing ovulatory issues. Join us as we discuss the importance of folate as it pertains to a healthy pregnancy. You'll Learn: What folate isIts importance in facilitating a healthy pregnancy Its effect on reproductive healthThanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Dr. Fiona McCulloch discusses Managing a Healthy Menopause at the Functional Medicine Discussion Group meeting on April 27, 2023 with moderator Dr. Ben Weitz. [If you enjoy this podcast, please give us a rating and review on Apple Podcasts, so more people will find The Rational Wellness Podcast. Also check out the video version on my WeitzChiro YouTube page.]    Podcast Highlights 5:35  Perimenopause usually starts around age 39 till 55 or so and this is when we start seeing irregular cycles and lots of symptoms and increases in chronic health risks.  Perimenopause is a time of fluctuation.  Women are born with all of the follicles in their ovaries for their entire life. the follicles house the eggs and each egg is housed by cells that make hormones.  Over the lifespan the pool of follicles decrease and when you get to the end of the reproductive years, there are far fewer follicles and hormones are released abnormally and inconsistently.  During a normal menstrual cycle the granulosis cells in the inner follicle make estrogen and when the egg comes out, it ovulated and the shell of the egg makes progesterone for two weeks.  During perimenopause we have follicles on their last legs and they make estrogen all the time but not in a normal pattern and there is almost no progesterone.  The adrenals do make small amounts of progesterone but the ovaries make massive amounts of progesterone.  Perimenopause is marked by wildly fluctuating wild estrogen levels up and down and pretty much no progesterone for the majority of the time. 10:37  Diagnosis of Perimenopause. The pituitary gland is involved with the complex control of ovulation.  When estrogen levels start to drop, the pituitary senses that and then sends FSH down to the ovary to make an egg and then you get increased estrogen.  When estrogen levels get irregular but generally higher, the brain will stop making FSH, so some measure FSH as a way to diagnose perimenopause. But FSH is not consistently low, so it is not a good way to diagnose perimenopause. The best way to diagnose perimenopause is not to test hormones but based on age and that the menstrual cycle gets shorter, irregular. Women will get insomnia, have mood changes, etc.  Testing can be useful for treatment but not for diagnosis.  Menopause is easy to diagnose, since it is diagnosed when it has been 12 months since the last period.  14:32  Stages of Perimenopause.  During the first stage of perimenopause, the cycles become shorter because there are less follicles and they make less anti-müllerian hormone, which slows them down from ovulating too early.  In the later stages of perimenopause we see highly unpredictable cycles and lots of heavy, long bleeding. Some of the common symptoms that may occur in menopause include hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, depression, low libido, vaginal dryness, autoimmunity, insulin resistance, loss of bone density, increased cardiovascular risk, and increased Alzheimer's risk.    20:12  Hormone testing.  Different modalities of testing are more or less effective for different reasons. Serum or blood spot is the most common form of hormones testing and it is good at picking up topical estrogen, oral and vaginal hormones.  Topical progesterone is not seen very well in a serum test, but it is seen in a blood spot or in saliva testing.  Urine testing is good to look at the metabolites of estrogen and cortisol and Dr. McCulloch will typically use DUTCH testing.  But urine testing is not as good to monitor topical hormone replacement therapy or vaginal HRT, since this can end up in the urine directly.  Saliva is helpful to look at the diurnal rhythm of free cortisol and is good for picking up topical progesterone.  For saliva and blood spot testing she will use ZRT Labs. 24:28  Other labs that Dr. McCulloch will often order besides hormones include the following: 1. Lipids, 2. ApoB, 3. Homocysteine, 4. HOMA-IR, 5. HBA1C, 6. Glucose, 7. OGTT with insulin, 8.
