    -Estradiol
    -Hemoglobin A1c
    -Cardiac C-Reactive Protein Test, High Sensitivity
    -Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1)
    -Thyroxine-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)
    -Gamma Glutamyl Transpeptidase (GGT)
    -Insulin, Fasting
    -Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
    -Luteinizing Hormone(LH)
    -Testosterone, Serum
    -Sex Hormone binding Globulin, Serum
    -Urinalysis, Routine
    -Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH)
    -Magnesium, Serum
    -Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct
    -Iron, Serum w/ TIBC
    -Progesterone
    -Cancer Antigen (CA) 125
    -Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA Sulfate)


    Quote from Slimmerme:
    Adding a more thorough thyroid testing to this above test with a full panel instead of just TSH and T4 would be a great idea.
    plus:
    • bone density
    • cortisol if needed for further analysis



    Quote from PPC:
    Free T3 gives a more accurate picture of what's been converted to what when it comes to thyroid. It's a biggie.

    Why magnesium serum and not RBC?

    I would add a ferritin as well. Iron is important for women and those who are not menopausal are losing significant blood each month, which is a leading cause of low iron.

    And to clarify, "Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA)" should actually be Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA-s) or Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate (DHEA sulfate)... you don't want the standard DHEA test as the number is too variable throughout the day to be clinically useful in most cases.

    The RBC will be in the CBC w/diff assay, but maybe that wasn't your exact question? Agree totally with the ferritin to be included with the TIBC.

    Sorry I wasn't clear I meant to ask, why choose magnesium serum instead of magnesium RBC?
