BASIC LAB PANEL
PSYCHIATRIC SYMPTOMS DON’T ALWAYS START IN THE BRAIN.
Anxiety, low mood, fatigue, or brain fog can be influenced by hormonal imbalances, vitamin deficiencies, or metabolic issues that are often missed in standard psychiatric care.
I offer a basic lab panel to help uncover these hidden contributors. This service is available for clients in Corona del Mar, Rancho Cucamonga, and across California, and I also provide telehealth support for discussing results and next steps with those who prefer virtual appointments.
By combining lab results with a thorough clinical evaluation, we gain a complete picture of what’s happening in your body and how it may be affecting your mental health. This allows us to create treatment plans that are precise, effective, and individualized.
WHAT IS BASIC LAB PANEL
A basic lab panel is a set of standard laboratory tests designed to check your overall health and identify issues that may impact your mental wellness. These tests look at key markers such as:
Hormone levels, including thyroid, adrenal, and sex hormones
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as B12, vitamin D, and iron
Metabolic markers, including blood sugar and lipid profiles
Liver and kidney function
The goal is to rule out medical contributors to mental health symptoms and prevent guessing in your treatment plan. A basic lab panel in California allows us to detect imbalances that can cause fatigue, anxiety, low mood, or brain fog, so we can address them early and directly.
When you schedule a basic lab panel, we start by reviewing your medical and mental health history. This gives context to your results and ensures we interpret them in light of your symptoms, lifestyle, and previous treatments.
The process includes:
☼ A review of prior lab work, if available
☼ Ordering blood tests, urine tests, or other labs as appropriate
☼ Collecting samples at a local lab convenient for you
☼ Reviewing results together, either in person or via telehealth
After reviewing your labs, I discuss what they mean for your mental health and develop recommendations for supporting your body and brain. This may include:
☼ Nutrition or supplementation guidance
☼ Referrals for additional medical testing if needed
☼ Lifestyle adjustments for sleep, stress, or exercise
☼ Integration into therapy or psychiatric care plans
Using a basic lab panel in California ensures your treatment plan is informed by real data, reducing trial-and-error approaches and giving you clarity on your next steps.
HOW BASIC LAB PANEL WORKS
CONDITIONS BASIC LAB PANEL CAN HELP WITH
A basic lab panel can provide insight for people experiencing symptoms such as:
✓ Persistent fatigue or low energy
✓ Brain fog or poor concentration
✓ Anxiety, depression, or mood swings

✓ Hormonal changes from perimenopause, postpartum, or thyroid issues
By identifying underlying imbalances, we can address the root contributors and improve overall mental wellness.

BASIC LAB PANEL FOR ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
Many clients come to me feeling frustrated that therapy or medications alone haven’t fully helped their anxiety or depression. Lab testing can reveal:
Vitamin deficiencies that affect neurotransmitters
Thyroid or adrenal hormone irregularities
Blood sugar imbalances that influence mood and energy
With this information, we create a plan that combines medical, nutritional, and psychiatric support for better results.
BASIC LAB PANEL FOR FATIGUE AND BRAIN FOG
If fatigue, low motivation, or cognitive cloudiness is interfering with your life, a basic lab panel can uncover causes such as:
Iron or B12 deficiencies
Hormonal shifts impacting energy levels
Blood sugar or metabolic irregularities
Understanding these contributors allows us to implement focused interventions, helping you feel more alert, energized, and able to engage in daily life.
THIS APPROACH ENSURES YOU FEEL SUPPORTED AND INFORMED, NOT OVERWHELMED, AND GIVES US A CLEAR STARTING POINT FOR YOUR MENTAL HEALTH JOURNEY.
