Purely IV

Part 7 of our lab education series is here — and this one is all about custom lab testing.

Curated lab panels are useful, but health questions do not always fit neatly into a preset package.

You may already have recent labs and only need a few missing markers. One result may need focused follow-up. Your symptoms may cross several categories, or your provider may be monitoring a medication, supplement plan, treatment, or health trend over time.

Our newest post explains how clinician-guided custom testing can build a more focused lab order around your symptoms, history, previous results, medications, supplements, and goals.

Because the best lab order is not always the biggest one. It is the one most likely to make your next decision clearer.

High-dose vitamin C IV therapy is getting more attention during cancer care—but what does the research actually show?

Our new article explains:

Why IV vitamin C is different from oral supplements
What encouraging and negative clinical studies have found
Why G6PD screening and clinical review matter
What patients and caregivers should discuss with their oncology team
How vitamin C relates to collagen and normal wound healing

HDVC is not an FDA-approved cancer treatment and should never replace chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, immunotherapy, or guidance from an oncology team.

The perqs of owning an IV therapy company. Two liters after a sweaty 18 holes on Katke this morning!

Part 6 of our lab education series is here — and this one looks beyond standard cholesterol testing.

A routine cholesterol panel is important, but it may not tell the entire story. Family history, inherited risk, the number of plaque-forming particles in your blood, inflammation, clotting activity, and metabolic health can all add useful information.

Our newest post explains what these advanced cardiovascular markers can help your provider review:

• ApoB
• Lipoprotein(a)
• the PLAC Test
• CRP
• fibrinogen
• homocysteine
• uric acid

The goal is not to predict exactly what will happen. It is to build a more complete prevention conversation and identify what may deserve attention next.

Part 5 of our lab education series is here — and this one takes a deeper look at micronutrient health.

You can eat a balanced diet, take supplements, and still wonder whether your body is getting what it needs.

If fatigue or brain fog keeps returning, recovery feels slower than expected, you follow a restricted diet, have absorption concerns, or your supplement routine has become difficult to manage, a Comprehensive Micronutrient Panel may provide useful information.

Our newest post explains how vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, fatty acids, ferritin, MMA, homocysteine, and other markers can help your provider see the bigger nutritional picture.

The goal is not to find a supplement for every result. It is to better understand what may deserve attention — and what may not.

Part 4 of our lab education series is here — and this one focuses on hormone testing.

Changes in sleep, mood, menstrual cycles, energy, libido, recovery, or body composition can raise questions about hormones. But those symptoms can overlap with stress, thyroid health, iron status, metabolic health, medications, and normal aging.

Our newest post explains what markers such as estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, SHBG, FSH, LH, DHEA-S, prolactin, pregnenolone, and PSA can add to a provider-reviewed hormone conversation.

The goal is not to blame every symptom on hormones or focus on one isolated number. It is to understand how the pieces fit together and what may be worth discussing next.

Cyclosporiasis has become a concern across Southeast Michigan, including Oakland County.

Symptoms can include watery diarrhea, bloating, gas, stomach cramps, nausea, fatigue, and low-grade fever. Symptoms may improve for a few days and then return.

We put together a quick guide covering symptoms, produce safety, and when to talk with a clinician:

We had a great day at the 4th of July party! Loved seeing everyone!

We just published Part 3 of our lab education series — and this one focuses on the Metabolic Health Panel.

This post takes a closer look at the markers that can help your provider review blood sugar, insulin, thyroid, B12, vitamin D, ferritin, and other clues that may shape a more informed wellness conversation.

If you’ve been dealing with afternoon energy crashes, cravings, weight changes, low stamina, or just feeling metabolically “off,” this article explains how the bigger lab pattern may be more useful than looking at one number by itself.

Because better information can lead to clearer next steps.

We just published the second post in our new lab education series — and this one focuses on the Foundational Wellness Panel.

Sometimes one narrow lab test is not the best place to start. If you have been feeling tired, foggy, run down, or just not quite like yourself, a broader baseline can help your provider look at several common wellness categories at once.

In this post, we explain how baseline labs can help provide context around:

• blood count
• metabolism
• blood sugar and A1C
• cholesterol
• inflammation
• thyroid markers
• iron status
• vitamin D and magnesium

The goal is simple: better information, clearer next steps, and less guessing.
