Elevate: Root-Cause Detective

Go beyond the baseline. Elevate analyzes thyroid function, metabolism, nutrient status, inflammation, and organ health to uncover root-cause patterns behind fatigue, metabolic slowdowns, and persistent symptoms. 60+ biomarkers with expert-guided protocols.

See What's Included

What's Measured

Advanced Thyroid & Metabolic Function

The key upgrade from Ignite. Evaluates thyroid conversion, Reverse T3, and metabolic efficiency to uncover patterns behind fatigue, weight resistance, and energy crashes.

  • TSH
  • Free T3
  • Free T4
  • Reverse T3
  • Thyroid antibodies (TPO, TG)
  • T3 uptake

Metabolic Health

Evaluates blood sugar regulation, insulin function, and lipid metabolism to identify metabolic imbalances early.

  • Fasting glucose
  • Fasting insulin
  • HbA1c
  • Total cholesterol
  • LDL / HDL
  • Triglycerides
  • Apolipoprotein B
  • Lipoprotein(a)

Inflammation & Immune Response

Identifies hidden inflammation and immune system activation that can affect energy, recovery, and long-term health.

  • hs-CRP
  • Homocysteine
  • Ferritin
  • ESR
  • Uric acid
  • White blood cell differential

Nutrient Status

Detects specific deficiencies in vitamins and minerals that influence energy, immunity, cognition, and recovery.

  • Vitamin D (25-OH)
  • Vitamin B12
  • Folate
  • Iron panel (serum iron, TIBC, ferritin)
  • Magnesium
  • Zinc
  • Selenium

Liver & Oxidative Stress

Evaluates liver detox capacity and oxidative stress, particularly important for those on medications or with chemical exposure.

  • AST
  • ALT
  • GGT
  • Bilirubin
  • Alkaline phosphatase
  • LDH
  • Glutathione (if available)

Organ Function

Baseline evaluation of kidney, liver, and blood health to ensure your body's core systems are functioning properly.

  • BUN
  • Creatinine
  • eGFR
  • Albumin
  • Total protein
  • Complete blood count (CBC)

Why Reverse T3 Matters

Reverse T3 is an inactive form of thyroid hormone that can block the effects of active T3. Elevated Reverse T3 is associated with fatigue, weight resistance, and metabolic slowdown — even when standard thyroid markers like TSH appear normal. This marker is not included in standard thyroid panels or Ignite-level testing.

Why Elevate?

Deeper Clarity

Understand the patterns driving your energy, metabolism, and mood — and address root-cause imbalances holding you back.

Nutrient Precision

Find the specific deficiencies causing fatigue, brain fog, or other symptoms—then fix them precisely.

Root-Cause Resolution

Advanced metabolic and thyroid markers reveal the underlying cause of persistent challenges.

Comprehensive Roadmap

Your plan addresses thyroid function, nutrition, inflammation, and lifestyle—not just one area.

Taking a GLP-1 Medication?

Medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro affect metabolism, thyroid function, nutrient absorption, and liver enzymes. Elevate provides the biomarker coverage needed to monitor these areas and ensure your body is responding safely and effectively.
