Biohackr Baseline & Benchmark testing
Testing is important to evaluate what you need. Modern medicine tends to be more reactionary — they test when there is a suspected issue; the minimum of testing is done; there isn’t an in-depth risk assessment done early; and testing for things like biologic age just isn’t done.
We do.
BIOHACKR BASELINE
This is our baseline testing for treatments ranging from hormone replacement to starting weight loss therapy on semaglutide.
- Hormone screen (testosterone & estrogen)
- Kidney and Liver function
- Serum glucose
- Electrolyte balance
- Thyroid health
- Vitamin D & B12
- PSA (men only)
Micronutrients
This measures 31 vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, antioxidants, and metabolites and how they affect cellular function.
Tested micronutrients include
- Vitamins A, D, C, E, K, the entire Vitamin B complex
- Minerals like Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, & Copper
- Amino Acids
- Antioxidants Alpha Lipoic Acid, CoQ10, Gluthione, Selenium, & Cysteine
- Carbohydrate metabolism
- Metabolites Inositol, Carnitine, & Choline
Correlating micronutrient deficiencies not only slows aging and degenerative disease progression, it can also prevent and repair cellular dysfunction and disease.
Biohackr Benchmark
This is our gold standard program to help you evaluate your baseline risk and current status. It incorporates most of the testing on this page and more.
- Telomere length
- Genetic Cancer Risk
- Current Cancer Screen
- Micronutrient Analysis
- Hormone panel (in depth)
- Metabolic panel
- CBC
- Lipid profile
- Insulin diabetes profile
- Cardiac Calcium CT Scan
TELOMERE TESTING
(Spectracell). Telomeres are genetic material at the end of chromosomes. They function to prevent chromosomal shortening and “fraying” when a cell replicates. As cells age, telomeres shorten. Eventually they become too short to allow cells to replicate, so the cell stops dividing and will eventually die, which is a normal biologic process. This test allows us to determine the length of your telomeres in relation to your birth age. Many of our antiaging treatments focus on maintaining telomere length.
Genetic Cancer Risk Screen
This test screens for over 81 genes associated with increased risk for hereditary cancers, including
APC, ATM, AXIN2, BAP1, BARD1, BMPR1A, BRCA1, BRCA2, BRIP1, CDH1, CDK4, CDKN2A, CHEK2, EPCAM, GALNT12, GREM1, HOXB13, MEN1, MITF, MLH1, MSH2, MSH3, MSH6, MUTYH, NBN, NF1, NTHL1, PALB2, PMS2, POLD1, POLE, PTEN, RAD51C, RAD51D, RNF43, RPS20, SMAD4, STK11, TP53, VHL
Cancer screen
(Galleri). This is a blood test to look for DNA of cancer in your blood. Most people only do routine screening for 5 most common types of cancer, but 71% of cancer deaths per year are caused by cancers not commonly screened for like pancreatic, colorectal, and prostate. This test has a low false positive and low false negative rate.
This is also good to screen to make sure you are cancer free before treatments which improve telomere length. For a list of cancers tested, click The 50+ Cancers with a Shared Signal Detected by the Galleri Test
NAD TESTING
Want a window into your biologic age? NAD levels give you a glimpse as to your mitochondrial health. As you know, mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell, and involved in every system in your body.
Blood spot testing allows us to see what your level is. As you age, levels decrease, though some people maintain their levels higher through diet and exercise. NAD supplementation with our powder actually helps increase levels, which you can feel. Again, we like you to test, see what your need is, treat, and retest. This is an add on to the Benchmark or can be done as a stand alone test.

CONTINUOUS GLUCOSE MONITOR
Continuous Glucose Monitors, called “CGM”s are great to get a window into your body to see how you process sugar. Blood sugar is well known for those who are prediabetic or diabetic, but if your blood sugar spikes are high after eating, it is associated with higher rates of atherosclerosis, heart disease, and insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to fat deposition and weight gain.
This can be added to the benchmark. It is a good test to do for those at risk for heart disease, diabetes, or have weight struggles. Studies have shown those who use a CGM are able to modify their eating and activity to improve their numbers.
