Hormone Testing
Hormone testing provides insights into a patient’s overall health and where imbalances can be diagnosed that can affect a wide range of bodily functions, from metabolism changes that trigger muscle atrophy and fat accumulation to decreased sexual interest and sexual dysfunction. Garduno Family Medicine provides hormone tests to uncover subtle imbalances that might not be apparent through standard medical evaluations.
Hormone testing encompasses a broad spectrum of hormone evaluations, not just your normal Low T or hormone imbalances. At Garduno Family Medicine, we serve as our member’s health advisors, and we are always on the lookout to navigate their care from normal hormone changes to something that may require an experienced physician like Dr. Garduno. Our members – they are our priority.
Optimal Hormone Balance for Dosage Accuracy. Hormone testing helps
ensure that patients receive the appropriate dosage of hormones to achieve
and maintain optimal hormone balance.
Symptom Relief. Hormone testing helps identify the underlying hormonal
imbalances contributing to these hormonal imbalances such as such as
fatigue, weight gain, mood swings, low libido, and cognitive changes
Safety and Efficacy. Regular hormone testing ensures that patients receive
safe and effective hormone therapy.
Lifestyle Modifications. Making lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity, improving diet, managing stress, and getting adequate sleep can help improve testosterone levels naturally.
Long-Term Health Benefits: Long-term health benefits that include improved
cardiovascular health, bone density, cognitive function, and overall well-
being.
Lifestyle Counseling: Counseling or therapy may be beneficial for addressing emotional issues related to low testosterone, such as depression, anxiety, or relationship problems
Cardiac Test
It is estimated that about every 40 someone in the U.S. have a heart attack. Heart attacks are the leading and growing cause of death globally, with over a million fatalities each year in the U.S., and often occur without warning to the people who get them. Garduno Family Medicine offers advanced cardiac testing for early detection, timely intervention, and reduced risk of heart attacks or strokes.
Our advanced cardiac test is a high-sensitivity test that can detect and measure the C-reactive protein (CRP) used as a marker for cardiac inflammation. The liver produces this protein in response to inflammation in the body commonly observed in patients who struggle with obesity, diabetes, poor diet, sedentary behavior, stress, smoking, autoimmune disease, or even some medications.

Early detection allows for prompt intervention and preventive measures to mitigate the progression of heart disease.
Cancer Test
More than 70% of cancer deaths are caused by cancers not commonly screened. A novel cancer screening test is now here at Garduno Family Medicine. The Galleri cancer test is designed to detect over 50 types of cancer, including common cancers such as breast, lung, colorectal, and prostate cancer, as well as less common cancers that may not have routine screening tests available. The Galleri test works by analyzing circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood, which can contain unique patterns associated with different types of cancer. By identifying these cancer signals in the blood at early stages, the Galleri test aims to detect cancer before symptoms develop, when treatment options may be more effective, and outcomes may be improved.
At Garduno Family Medicine, Dr. Garduno uses the Galleri test along with traditional screening tests to help guide follow-up diagnostic testing for early detection and faster treatment.
