Meakin Metabolic Care is proud to offer our current program clients the option to order individual labs to fit your needs in addition to the labs that come with your service plan.

MMC Breast Survey ($35) – This is a Cancer Antigen 15-3 and is used for monitoring treatment for breast cancer. Not all breast cancers make this antigen. This is not a valid screening test for breast cancer and is used under oncology supervision for therapy decision discussions.
MMC Cardiac Survey ($150 or $100 if ordered with Predict Panel Package) – This extensive panel includes a typical lipid panel, High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein, Hemoglobin A1c, Apo B and LPa. The addition of the APO B and subunit Lipoprotein “little a” enables a complete assessment of hidden risk that are common to about 30% of those that have sudden early cardiac events. One should only have to get an LPa once in their life to measure their genetic propensity for CVD risk.

This is Quest Lab’s best food sensitivity test panel and looks at the 12 most common dietary triggers including clam, cow’s milk, egg white, maize/corn, peanut, scallop, sesame seed, shrimp, soybean, walnut, and wheat. This Food Allergy Panel looks for the specific IGE antibody elevations in your blood stream to these 12 common food subtypes and aids you in your determination of hidden drivers of inflammation.
MMC HOMA-IR ($60) – included in Predict Labs, MOP, and C-MOP programs as well.

This calculation has a wonderful predictive value, and we believe will replace Hem.A1c over time. Read more here.
