Take control of your health
With age comes a myriad of aches and pains, increased risks and many other health problems. Knowing your baseline can help you detect and prevent certain ailments, including many diseases such as cancer and heart disease. Taking control of your health and having regular testing done at hospitals can be very expensive, and many people are not aware of the alternative to having to pay large out-of-pocket expenses. Any Lab Test Now is an affordable alternative and typically saves nearly 50 percent of the cost associated with hospital testing, according to owner Janice Meier.
“The convenience that we offer our clients, in addition to providing a wide variety of lab tests and screenings, is that we don’t require an appointment and can provide discreet and confidential results in 24 to 48 hours for most tests,” Meier explained. Another benefit is that there is no need for a doctor’s order or health insurance.
One of the newest tests being offered is the VAP cholesterol test. This test is extremely popular because it is the first cholesterol test to directly measure LDL and no fasting is required. According to Meier, the VAP is one of the most accurate and comprehensive cholesterol tests available today. It reports 18 separate components of blood cholesterol compared to just four in a standard test.
“This comprehensive test can identify more lipid abnormalities, which is the number one risk factor of heart disease, than the standard test and is the only cholesterol test to identify markers for Metabolic Syndrome, a precursor for diabetes,” Meier said. The risk of heart disease and diabetes can be reduced with the right preventative treatments and the VAP test provides a large amount of information for your doctor to give an accurate diagnosis.
For those without insurance or with a health savings account, Any Lab Test Now will be offering a wellness screening clinic at Kidron Auction House Feb. 24, from 9 a.m. to noon. Both fasting and non-fasting tests will be offered, along with other valuable services, including EKG’s and blood pressure testing. Vitamin B-12 and flu shots will also be available. For more information, call 330-723-8378.
