Alyssa: May 2026 Labs vs Jan 2025

Generated 2026-06-11. May 2026 values: Quest specimen HZ452364U, collected 05/26/2026, reported 05/31/2026, ordered by Joshua Emdur, D.O. (Function Health). Jan 2025 values: Quest draw collected 01/10 to 01/11/2025, as recorded in the report's Previous Result column and her health profile.

Headline: the lipid particle picture went from her weakest area to nearly all green. Every Cardio IQ particle marker that was flagged in Jan 2025 improved: LDL-P 1707 to 971, small LDL 281 to 131, HDL Large 5705 to 7022 (now above the 6729 optimal floor), LDL peak size 220.2 to 223.7 (now above 222.9). Only LDL Medium still touches its cut point at exactly 215. (All values: Quest HZ452364U Cardio IQ section; Jan values from the same report's Previous Result column.)
One new flag worth a doctor conversation: ANA turned positive. Screen positive, titer 1:40 (the lowest reportable level), nuclear speckled pattern. It was negative in Jan 2025. Quest's own note: a low level ANA titer may be present in pre-clinical autoimmune diseases and normal individuals. Rheumatoid factor and both thyroid antibodies remain negative, so there is no supporting autoimmune signal elsewhere in the panel. Reasonable move: mention it to her physician and recheck at the next draw. (Source: Quest HZ452364U immunology section.)

Hormones and Fertility

Source: Quest HZ452364U; Jan 2025 from the report's Previous Result column. Estradiol, LH, FSH, and prolactin swing with cycle phase, so the big moves below most likely reflect a different cycle day at draw, not a trend.

Omega Panel

Source: Quest HZ452364U OmegaCheck (MedFusion); Jan 2025 from the report's Previous Result column. Context: the SR Omega-3 supplement only entered her stack with the May 2026 redesign (labels uploaded to Drive 05/15/2026), 11 days before this 05/26/2026 draw. Too early to judge it here.

Follow-ups

Carried into her health profile (30-personal/health/alyssa-health-profile.md).
ItemWhy
Mention the positive ANA (1:40, speckled) to her physician; recheck next drawNew since Jan 2025; low titer can be normal but it changed
Check her Function Health portal for a second May results PDFVitamin D, CBC, metabolic, and thyroid markers are missing from this specimen
Recheck omega-3 index after 3+ months on SR Omega-3The stack redesign landed 11 days before this draw (labels in Drive 05/15/2026, draw 05/26/2026), too early to show
Watch leptin alongside diet1.4 vs lean-female floor of 4.7, second consecutive low and lower than Jan
