Understanding the ACTH, Plasma Test

The ACTH, Plasma test measures a hormone called adrenocorticotropic hormone in your blood. This hormone is crucial for managing stress and is produced by the pituitary gland in your brain. By analyzing a small blood sample, this test helps assess how well your body handles stress and can identify potential issues with your adrenal glands or other stress-managing systems. Interestingly, the levels of ACTH can vary throughout the day, which is why timing is essential when taking this test.

  • Helps detect conditions like Addison’s disease and Cushing’s syndrome.
  • Provides insights into your body’s stress response.
  • Assists in evaluating adrenal gland function.

Who Should Consider This Hormone Test?

If you’re feeling unusually tired or have unexplained weight changes, this test might be helpful. People who are curious about their stress levels or have a family history of adrenal issues might also consider it. It’s a way to gain peace of mind and better understand your body’s stress management.

  • Experiencing fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest.
  • Noticing unexpected weight gain or loss.
  • Having a family history of adrenal disorders.
  • Feeling stressed without a clear reason.
  • Dealing with skin changes that are unexplained.

Preparing for Your Hormone Level Test

Before taking the ACTH, Plasma test, it’s important to talk to your treating physician about any special preparations. Generally, fasting is not required, but your doctor might have specific instructions for you. Remember, the timing of the test is crucial, so plan to have your blood drawn between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m. for the most accurate results. If you are taking supplements or medications, follow the instructions provided by your doctor tailored to your specific health situation.

IGF-1 Blood Test (Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1)

IGF-1 is a hormone that is mostly produced by the liver and plays roles in not only growth but also in overall health and biohacking. This IGF-1 blood test can help you establish your baseline and can be used to monitor your IGF-1 progress. The traditional use of the IGF-1 test can be helpful to determine why a child may not be growing or developing. However, IGF-1 plays a critical role in aging, heart health, obesity, brain function, and more. Lower IGF-I levels can hamper the body’s ability to heal itself and therefore affect the quality of life and a lower lifespan.

How can I increase my IGF-I levels?

Increasing IGF-1 levels is possible and you may need to work with a healthcare practitioner to implement fully. That said, here are some general ways to increase IGF-1 blood levels:

  • Diet– Increase proteins, and decrease simple sugars. Also decreasing inflammatory foods by using the MRT food sensitivity test.
  • Exercise– When you exercise, your body is slightly damaged. This tells your brain to release growth hormone that tells your liver to release IGF-1.
  • Sleep– Your body goes into repair mode while you sleep. Getting enough of high-quality sleep can boost your IGF-1 levels.
  • Hormone therapy– There are certain types of hormone therapies that can increase IGF-1 blood levels.

The key is to know your IGF-1 blood level baseline. From there you can take action and use this blood test to monitor your progress.   What’s Being Tested:

  • IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1)

Testosterone Test | Total
