Comprehensive Metabolic Testing in NYC

Why You Need Metabolic Testing—Not Just Routine Labs

Traditional blood tests often miss the deeper issues driving chronic conditions like diabetes, weight gain, fatigue, and hormonal imbalance. At Patients Medical in NYC, our integrative metabolic testing offers a complete picture of your internal health—going far beyond basic labs to uncover the root causes of dysfunction.

We don’t just test symptoms—we test systems.

Case Study: Reversing Insulin Resistance

Maria, 52, came to us with fatigue, weight gain, and an A1C of 6.8. Her primary doctor said she was “borderline diabetic.” Our comprehensive testing revealed high fasting insulin, elevated cortisol, and poor gut flora diversity. We created a customized plan that included:

  • An anti-inflammatory nutrition program
  • Adrenal support and stress reduction tools
  • Berberine and magnesium supplementation
  • Gut healing protocol
  • IV vitamin therapy

Three months later, Maria’s A1C dropped to 5.6, her energy improved, and she lost 15 pounds—all without diabetes medications.
