Get The Answers You Need
We often think labs and tests are routine medical procedures that don’t really impact us, but that’s completely wrong. Labs may be routine, but they provide extremely valuable information regarding our health, especially when the right labs are drawn. At the Institute for Hormonal Balance, we offer lab testing in Arlington to provide insight into your health and educate us on your care.
How Labs Work
We use a needle to draw blood from your arm for your lab work. There are many kinds of tests that can be done, so how your blood will be processed will depend on what your provider is looking for.
Then, your provider will apply the PNOE testing mask to your face to collect data on 23 different biomarkers from your breath, including cellular function, heart & lungs, and more.
Serum lab testing gives your provider insight into your health profile and what treatments can help you achieve your health and wellness goals.
Benefits of Testing
Minimally Invasive
With only one needle, we can quickly draw your blood and gain insights on how to restore balance to your health.
Swift Process
Lab testing in Arlington only takes about 5 to 10 minutes, so you don’t have to take much time away from your day.
Informational
Your blood can tell a lot about your health. Your provider can easily learn more about your health within just a few days.
Discover Your Perfect Treatment
Blood draws can help you find the best treatment options, but you can take the first step using our custom Treatment Planning Tool.
