Why Choose Lab Testing Support & Optimization with Shawn Phillips?

Standard fitness plans often miss the mark because they ignore underlying issues like hormone imbalances or nutrient deficiencies. My coaching uses lab insights to personalize your path, addressing the root causes for sustainable results.

Dr. Jaffe's Biomarker Optimization: The Essential 5 for Peak Health

Inspired by Dr. Russell Jaffe’s work on functional medicine, I narrow lab optimization to about 5 key biomarkers that provide big insights into your health. These aren’t just numbers—they’re actionable signals for improving immunity, metabolism, and vitality. Here’s each one, with optimal ranges and benefits explained:

  • Vitamin D (50–80 ng/ml for Overall Health): This "sunshine vitamin" is crucial for bone strength, immune function, and mood regulation. Optimizing to 50–80 ng/ml can reduce infection risk and support fat loss by enhancing metabolism— low levels are linked to fatigue and weight gain. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Holick et al., NEJM – 2007
    The Citation Summary Keeping vitamin D blood levels around 40 to 60 ng/ml is best for strong bones and overall health, helping fight germs, lift spirits, and keep energy up without tiredness or extra weight.

  • A1c (Less than 5 for Fat Loss and Health): A1c measures average blood sugar over 3 months, predicting diabetes risk. Keeping it under 5 improves insulin sensitivity, aiding fat loss and reducing inflammation—high A1c can increase heart disease risk. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Selvin et al., Diabetes Care – 2010
    The Citation Summary A diet with low calories on some days dropped the A1c sugar marker, helped shed pounds, fixed how insulin works, and cut swelling for better body health and less diabetes chance.

  • hsCRP (Less than 0.5 for Overall Inflammation): High- sensitivity C-reactive protein flags chronic inflammation, a root of many diseases. Below 0.5 mg/L, it lowers heart attack risk and supports faster recovery from workouts. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Ridker et al., NEJM – 2002
    The Citation Summary Having hsCRP under 0.5 mg/L means lower heart risks than if it's a bit higher, showing less body swelling and helping heal quicker after exercise.

  • Homocysteine (<6 umol/L for Heart Health): Elevated homocysteine damages blood vessels, raising stroke and heart disease risk by 20%. Keeping it under 6 protects cardiovascular health and supports brain function. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Refsum et al., Clinical Chemistry – 2004
    The Citation Summary Every rise of 5 in homocysteine boosts heart sickness chance by about 20%, no matter other risks, so low levels guard blood paths and heart.

  • Waist Circumference (<40 inches for males, <34 inches for females): A simple measure of visceral fat, high waist size predicts diabetes and heart issues better than BMI. Reducing it lowers metabolic syndrome risk. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Lean et al., BMJ – 1995
    The Citation Summary Waist over 35 inches for women or 40 for men raises heart and sugar sickness risks more than just body mass score, and shrinking it cuts those dangers.

Hormone Improvements Through Lab Optimization: Boost Your Vitality

Labs reveal hormone levels, enabling targeted optimization for better health. Improvements in key hormones like testosterone, cortisol, progesterone, and growth hormone offer massive benefits:

  • Testosterone: Low levels cause fatigue and muscle loss; optimizing via labs can increase it, enhancing libido, strength, and fat burn. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Zitzmann et al., Clinical Endocrinology – 2006
    The Citation Summary Fixing low testosterone with help builds muscle and power, trims fat, strengthens bones, boosts sex drive, mood, and overall good feelings

  • Cortisol: High stress hormone promotes belly fat; balancing it reduces anxiety and weight gain. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Rosmond et al., Obesity Research – 2000
    The Citation Summary Too much cortisol from stress boosts hunger, messes sleep, and piles fat on the belly; getting it balanced cuts worry and stops extra weight.

  • Progesterone: For women, imbalance affects mood and cycles; optimization improves fertility and bone health. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Prior et al., Endocrine Reviews – 1998
    The Citation Summary Progesterone fixes women's moods, sleep, monthly pains, sex drive, bone strength, and helps with having babies when levels are right.
    Study Link     Stanczyk et al., Menopause – 2003

  • Growth Hormone: Declines with age, slowing recovery; lab- guided boosts enhance muscle repair and energy. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Veldhuis et al., JCEM – 2005
    The Citation Summary Less growth hormone as you age cuts muscle, adds fat, slows fixes; boosting it trims fat, builds muscle, boosts energy, sugar control, and mind health.
