Comprehensive Insight Into Nutritional, Hormonal & Environmental Factors Related to ADHD

ADHD is a complex neurodevelopmental condition with potential links to nutrient deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, gut-immune dysfunction, and environmental toxin exposure. The ADHD Premium Panel offers a thorough, data-driven approach to understanding contributing factors that may impact attention, behavior, mood regulation, and cognitive function.

This panel is ideal for individuals seeking a root-cause, functional perspective on ADHD, and it can guide lifestyle, dietary, and supplemental strategies for optimal brain health and focus.

What This Panel Measures:

This comprehensive lab panel evaluates multiple systems that can influence ADHD symptoms, including:

Nutrient Status & Inflammation

  • Vitamin D (25-OH)
  • Magnesium
  • Zinc
  • Iron, Ferritin, TIBC, UIBC, Transferrin Saturation
  • Vitamin B12 (via MMA)
  • Homocysteine
  • HbA1c, Glucose
  • hs-CRP (inflammation marker)

Essential Fatty Acids (Brain & Behavior Support)

  • Omega-3s: EPA, DHA, DPA, Total Omega-3
  • Omega-6s: LA, Total Omega-6
  • AA/EPA Ratio
  • Omega-6/Omega-3 Ratio
  • EPA+DPA+DHA (combined omega-3 index)

Imbalances in essential fatty acids are often associated with mood dysregulation, impulsivity, and difficulty concentrating.

Thyroid Function & Autoimmune Screening

  • TSH, Free T3 (fT3), Free T4 (fT4), Reverse T3 (rT3)
  • Anti-TPO, Anti-Tg (thyroid antibodies)

Thyroid imbalances and autoimmune thyroiditis can mimic or worsen ADHD-related symptoms like poor focus, mood swings, and fatigue.

Food Sensitivity & Gut-Immune Markers

  • Anti-DGP IgA & IgG
  • Anti-tTG IgA & IgG
  • Total IgE

These tests assess for potential gluten sensitivity or celiac disease, which can trigger inflammation and behavioral issues in some individuals.

Hormone & Neurotransmitter-Related Markers

  • Testosterone (Total and Free)
  • SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin)
  • DHEA-S
  • Prolactin

Hormonal balance plays a key role in emotional regulation, attention, and energy levels.

Environmental Toxins (Heavy Metals)

  • Lead
  • Mercury

Even low levels of heavy metals can interfere with neurological development and are associated with inattention and hyperactivity.

Standard Health Markers for Overall Function

Includes a full set of basic blood chemistry and cellular health markers:

  • CBC with Differential (WBC, RBC, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, Platelets, etc.)
  • Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Calcium, CO2, Creatinine, BUN, eGFR, Liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP), Total Bilirubin, Total Protein, Albumin/Globulin Ratio
  • Lipid Panel: Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides, TC/HDL Ratio
  • Red Cell Indices: MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW

These provide a general snapshot of metabolic health and help identify underlying contributors such as anemia, blood sugar imbalances, and liver or kidney stress.
