Levitas GP Service: Using the Right Tests to Build a Healthier You

Levitas GP Service: Using the Right Tests to Build a Healthier You

At Levitas GP, we believe great healthcare should do more than just treat illness — it should help you stay well, feel better, and live longer. 

That’s why we use a smart testing strategy to understand your body from the inside out. 

Our goal? To give you clear answers about your health and a personal plan to help you thrive — not just survive. 

Why Testing With Purpose Matters

Most standard health checks only look at basic things like blood pressure or cholesterol. But these don’t always tell the full story, and many problems can build up quietly for years before symptoms show. 

At Levitas GP, we use a carefully chosen set of tests to spot risks early and help you build better health for the long term. 

What We Test And Why It Matters

Here’s a simple guide to the tests we use — and what they tell us about your health: 

Inflammation & Heart Health

  • hsCRP — Is there silent inflammation that could age your body faster? 
  • Homocysteine — Is your heart and blood vessels under extra stress? 
  • Lp(a) — Do you have a hidden genetic risk for heart disease? 
  • Lp-PLA2 — Are your blood vessels showing early signs of damage? 
  • ApoB — Are certain types of bad cholesterol putting your heart at risk? 

Blood Sugar & Metabolism

  • Fasting Insulin — Is your body managing sugar well — or heading towards diabetes? 
  • HOMA-IR — Are you becoming resistant to insulin (a key sign of poor metabolism)? 
  • HbA1c — How well has your blood sugar been controlled over the last 3 months? 

Hormone & Thyroid Health

  • TSH — Is your thyroid working well (key for energy, weight, mood)?
  • Estradiol — Are your female hormones balanced (important for mood, bones, heart)? 
  • Progesterone — Is this calming hormone helping with mood and sleep? 
  • Testosterone — Is this key hormone supporting energy, strength, and drive? 
  • DHEA-S — Is your body’s “resilience” hormone where it should be? 
  • IGF-1 — Are your body’s repair and growth signals balanced for your age? 

Nutrient & Energy Markers

  • Ferritin — Do you have enough iron for energy and hair health? 
  • Vitamin D — Is your immune system supported by good vitamin D levels? 
  • B12 — Are you getting enough of this key vitamin for energy and brain health? 
  • Magnesium (RBC) — Do your cells have the magnesium they need to work well? 

Stress Response

  • Cortisol (AM) — Is your body handling stress well — or feeling worn down? 

How We Use Your Results
