Comprehensive Wellness and Metabolic Function Lab Panel (Dynacare) Canada
This panel serves as a foundational wellness screen, uncovering both clear imbalances and subtle functional patterns. It provides the clarity and direction needed to guide personalized nutrition, lifestyle strategies, and targeted protocols—helping you take confident, informed steps toward long-term health and resilience.
This panel provides a comprehensive assessment of core health foundations to evaluate and uncover key health priorities within immune stress, infection load, nutrient reserves and deficiencies, metabolic function, cardiovascular balance, thyroid activity, liver and kidney performance, inflammation status, mineral balance, and more.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differentials
White Blood Cells (WBC) & Differentials (Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils) - Reflects innate vs. adaptive immune activity.
Red Blood Cells (RBC) - Indicates oxygen-carrying capacity; nutrient insufficiencies (iron, B12, folate) or chronic inflammation.
Hemoglobin & Hematocrit - Key markers of oxygen transport and red cell mass; nutrient status, or systemic inflammation.
MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW - Provide insight into red blood cell size and hemoglobin content (microcytic vs. macrocytic patterns); reflect nutrient status (iron, folate, B12).
Platelets - Reflect clotting status and low-grade inflammatory activity.
Nutritional & Vitamin Markers
Vitamin D (25-hydroxy) - Essential for immune modulation, bone health, mood regulation, and hormone signalling.
Serum Magnesium - Critical for ATP production, nerve and muscle function, and glucose regulation.
Ferritin - Primary storage form of iron; reflects iron reserves.
Iron - Reflects circulating iron available for red blood cell production.
TIBC (Total Iron-Binding Capacity) - Measures the blood’s capacity to bind iron; helps differentiate deficiency vs. overload.
Glucose & Insulin Regulation
Fasting Glucose - Short-term measure of blood sugar status.
Fasting Insulin - Early marker of metabolic signalling and energy regulation. Elevations often precede dys-glycemia by years and may indicate insulin or leptin resistance.
Hemoglobin A1c - Reflects 2–3 month average glucose exposure. Higher values indicate glycation stress and oxidative burden on tissues.
Lipid Profile + CRP-hs
Total Cholesterol - Essential for hormone production and cellular repair. Helps assess oxidative stress or malabsorption.
LDL - Provides building blocks for hormones and membranes but in excess can reflect oxidative or inflammatory burden.
HDL - Reflects reverse cholesterol transport and anti-inflammatory lipid balance.
Triglycerides - Indicate whether energy is being stored or efficiently burned. Provides insight into insulin resistance and metabolic flexibility.
VLDL - Assesses metabolic flexibility, insulin resistance, liver stress and, how effectively the body metabolizes and mobilizes fats.
hs-CRP - Sensitive measure of low-grade systemic inflammation and vascular oxidative stress. Can help assess early inflammatory stress.
Thyroid Function Panel
TSH - Pituitary signal to the thyroid; often lags behind tissue-level changes.
Free T4 - Storage hormone reflecting thyroid gland output.
Free T3 - Active thyroid hormone reflecting cellular conversion and efficiency. Functional interpretation emphasizes the T4→T3 ratio, stress, and cofactors (selenium, zinc, magnesium).
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
ALT, AST, ALP - Reflects liver cell integrity, liver function, bile flow, and metabolic stress.
GGT - Sensitive marker of liver congestion, bile flow, and oxidative stress.
LDH - Reflects tissue oxygenation, mitochondrial turnover, and metabolic flexibility.
Bilirubin - Reflects detoxification, bile flow, and antioxidant status.
Albumin, Globulin, Total Protein - Assesses liver synthesis capacity, antioxidant status, and immune protein production.
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Bicarbonate - Indicates hydration, adrenal function, and acid–base regulation.
Calcium - Reflects parathyroid activity, vitamin D balance, and magnesium interplay.
Creatinine, Urea, eGFR, Urea/Creatinine Ratio - Assesses renal clearance and protein turnover.
Phosphorus - Reflects bone–mineral balance, cellular energy metabolism, and kidney function. The calcium–phosphorus ratio provides deeper insight into bone turnover and parathyroid activity.
Your requisition form will be emailed to you within 48 hours of purchase. When you receive this requisition form, print it out and take it into any DynaCare Lab in the area. You can find your nearest DynaCare location on their website. Appointments are not required.
Please note: you need to be fasting at least 8 hours before, so it's best to go before you've eaten breakfast in the morning. You may drink water leading up to the draw. Your results will be sent to our office about 1-2 business days after you've had your blood drawn and we will provide copies through practice better. Some specialized markers (add-ons) can take up to 10-15 business days for results.
*Custom lab panels are also available, but it is recommended to start here with this comprehensive assessment of core health foundations. Please send us an email through the contact page or book a call to speak about customizations or specific requests.
**All taxes and fees included. No additional fees are collected at the lab.
