COLLECTION METHOD: BLOOD SAMPLE AND URINE SAMPLE
This baseline health panel includes a complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), urinalysis (UA), hemoglobin A1C (HgbA1c), lipid panel, as well as the Iron, GGT (a key liver enzyme), Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH), and Vitamin D 25 hydroxy levels.
This package of 9 lab tests provides an assessment of overall health, more than 60 measurements that are often associated with an annual physician’s exam. This carefully chosen combination should be a key component of any wellness routine, helping identify health concerns before they progress into chronic or life-threatening conditions.
Test results may take 3-6 business days.
This carefully designed package conveniently measures more than 60 markers that can help identify problems or trends in the function of your organs and body’s systems. Early detection is a key success factor when addressing health conditions. We highly recommend this panel to pinpoint weaknesses or concerns before symptoms start appearing.
Comprehensive wellness lab testing helps you to screen for potential red flags that could compromise your overall health
THE COMPREHENSIVE WELLNESS TEST PANEL COVERS A BROAD SCOPE, INCLUDING THE HEALTH OF THE:
This profile includes tests used to screen for anemia, a blood disorder that occurs when the red blood cell (RBC) or hemoglobin levels are low.
Test results may take 1-2 business days.
SIGNS OF ANEMIA
MILD OR MODERATE ANEMIA MAY CAUSE FEW OR NO SYMPTOMS AND BE EASY TO OVERLOOK. Many people don’t realize they have anemia until it’s determined with a blood test. The different types of anemia can have very similar symptoms, despite their different causes.
WHEN SYMPTOMS OF ANEMIA OCCUR, THEY CAN INCLUDE:
This panel provides a more in-depth analysis of hormone levels. Hormone levels start to decline over time and may include symptoms such as low energy, low sex drive, weight gain, insomnia, decreased muscle strength as well as cognitive decline. However, Estradiol and Estrogen levels may increase over time and may be associated with cardiovascular risk, prostate disorders, and weight gain in men. The Men’s Expanded Hormone Package can help measure hormone levels whether you have started any hormone replacement therapy or may be interested in starting hormone replacement therapy.
SYMPTOMS OF HORMONE IMBALANCE
Symptoms depend on which glands and hormones are affected. Your body has several endocrine glands, which each release different hormones and control different organs.
Signs of hormone imbalance include:
MALE AND FEMALE HORMONES
While most people think of testosterone as a male hormone and estrogen as a female hormone, both are naturally-occurring hormones in both males and females. These sex hormones are involved in libido and reproduction, but they can also influence other parts of your physical and mental health, like energy, mood, muscle mass, cholesterol, and bone health.
Imbalances can keep you from feeling your best at any stage of life. In addition to individual hormone tests, we also offer hormone panels catered specifically to men, women, and those transitioning.
TEST RESULTS MAY TAKE 7-10 BUSINESS DAYS.
Hormone levels start to decline over time and may include symptoms such as hot flashes, irregular menstrual cycles/painful or heaving bleeding, low energy, low sex drive, weight gain, water retention, insomnia, decreased muscle strength as well as cognitive decline. The Women’s Expanded Hormone Package can help measure hormone levels whether you have started any hormone replacement therapy or may be interested in starting hormone replacement therapy. For women who have a 28-day cycle, blood should be drawn on day 21 (day 1 is the day that bleeding begins). For longer or shorter cycles, count 8 days back from the day your next menstruation would start.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT FOR MEN AND WOMEN TO GET TESTED?
Early detection of STDs and HIV allows patients to start treatment as soon as possible. When treatment is started in the early stages of infection, it:
Significantly reduces one’s risk of infecting others
Significantly reduces the risk of developing health complications associated with STDs and HIV, like certain cancers
Can help patients maintain a healthy immune system
An STD panel is recommended alongside HIV testing because people who have been diagnosed with an STD are more likely to contract HIV and infect others with HIV.
If you get a Comprehensive STD Panel with Early HIV Detection test eight weeks after potential exposure, it is recommended that you redo the test between 8 and 12 weeks after the date of potential exposure.
WHO SHOULD CONSIDER TAKING THIS PANEL?
Any individual who is concerned that they may have contracted HIV, or an STD should consider getting the Comprehensive STD Panel with Early HIV Detection. People who are at a higher-than-average risk of contracting HIV and other STDs should consider the Comprehensive STD Panel with Early HIV Detection. Men and women at a higher-than-average risk include those who:
Are between the ages of 15 to 24
Have sex with multiple partners
Have a sex partner who has been diagnosed with HIV or another STD
Have been forced to have sex
Currently used or previously used injectable drugs
The Expanded Thyroid Panel evaluates normal function. A healthy functioning thyroid needs a balanced level of thyroid-stimulating hormone or TSH, T3 uptake, and T4. Together these hormones stimulate the gland and store hormones that increase or decrease energy expenditure. The thyroid is also related to the role of other body systems and may cause certain symptoms if it is not functioning at optimum.
The role of these hormones may include:
The thyroid is essential for all parts of your body to function properly. It’s a butterfly-shaped endocrine gland in your neck that is responsible for producing two major hormones: T3 (triiodothyronine) and T4 (thyroxine). These chemical substances control how you use energy (your metabolism), helping to regulate heart rate, body temperature, digestion, brain health, and more. Most T3 and T4 are bound to proteins in the blood, but a small portion aren’t bound and circulate as free hormones.
The amount of T3 and T4 that your thyroid gland secretes is regulated by your pituitary gland. It senses thyroid hormone levels in your blood and works to maintain stable amounts of T3 and T4.
If T3 and T4 levels are low, the pituitary gland secretes TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone) to make the thyroid produce more T4, and ultimately more T3.
When thyroid hormone levels are normal, the pituitary gland stops secreting so that the thyroid makes less T4.
MONITOR YOUR THYROID FUNCTION
The thyroid gland can become underactive (hypothyroidism) or overactive (hyperthyroidism), causing health complications. Evaluating thyroid hormone levels can help diagnose thyroid disorders.
HYPOTHYROIDISM
Hypothyroidism means that the thyroid gland doesn’t make enough thyroid hormone.
Symptoms of hypothyroidism include:
Common causes include:
HYPERTHYROIDISM
Hyperthyroidism means that the thyroid gland makes too much thyroid hormone.
Symptoms of hyperthyroidism include:
Common causes include:
