The comprehensive cardiometabolic deep read. LDL particle count via NMR, ApoB, the lifetime Lp(a) marker, omega-3 index, hs-CRP and homocysteine for inflammation and methylation, plus the metabolic baseline (insulin, HbA1c, uric acid). The panel that maps cardiovascular risk before a standard lipid panel would flag anything.
What’s tested
biomarkers
Grouped by clinical axis. Notes flag the markers where the assay choice or interpretation matters most.
Why these matter
Lipoprotein Fractionation, NMR
LDL particle number and size , what actually drives atherogenic risk, not LDL-C concentration.
Apolipoprotein B
Direct count of atherogenic particles. The single best lipid number for cardiovascular risk.
Lipoprotein(a)
Genetically determined. Measure once in a lifetime; matters disproportionately for cardiovascular risk.
OmegaCheck
Omega-3 Index plus the arachidonic-acid : EPA ratio. Modifiable; reads diet plus supplementation status.
Why these matter
Insulin, Intact, LC/MS/MS
Direct mass-spec measurement of intact insulin.

The other way
The panel
A snapshot. Yours to keep. Includes the lab work and a physician’s interpretation. The right move when one read is the question.
The relationship
Direct access to Dr. Tagge for ongoing care. Whatever panel makes sense, whenever you need it, read in the context of the story you’re building together. The right move when one read isn’t the question.
