FAQ
What exactly does this panel test? Seven key areas: comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid profile, thyroid function, complete blood count, iron studies, testosterone levels, PSA, IGF-1, and vitamin D status.
Do I need to fast before testing? Yes, fast for 12 hours before your blood draw for accurate glucose and lipid measurements. Water is allowed during fasting.
How is this different from a regular physical exam? This panel specifically focuses on aging-related biomarkers like testosterone, IGF-1, and inflammatory markers that standard physicals often miss.
Can I use these results with my doctor? Absolutely. Results are provided in standard medical format that any healthcare provider can interpret and use for treatment decisions.
What if my testosterone is low? Low testosterone affects 25% of men by age 60 and 50% by age 80. Your doctor can discuss treatment options including lifestyle changes or hormone therapy.
How often should I repeat this testing? Annually for monitoring, or every 6 months if you're actively implementing anti-aging interventions or have concerning initial results.
More Details
What is the purpose of this test?
This comprehensive panel assesses key aging markers including hormonal, metabolic, and inflammatory indicators to help slow the aging process and identify potential health issues before they become serious. The field of anti-aging medicine focuses on early detection, prevention, treatment, and reversal of age-related diseases through scientific principles and responsible medical care (Cell Journal 2023). By analyzing testosterone levels, metabolic function, cardiovascular health, thyroid status, and vitamin levels, you gain valuable insights into your biological age versus chronological age.
Who would benefit from this test?
Men aged 30 and older interested in proactive health management would benefit most, as testosterone begins declining at 1-2% per year after age 30 (International Journal of Nephrology 2025). This panel is particularly valuable for men experiencing symptoms like decreased energy, mood changes, or reduced libido. Those with family history of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or metabolic syndrome should consider baseline testing, as metabolic syndrome affects 18.8% of men aged 40-49 (PMC 2005). Men beginning anti-aging protocols need comprehensive baseline measurements for monitoring intervention effectiveness.
When should I order the Anti-Aging #1 Baseline Blood and Urine Test Panel for Men?
Ideally, establish baseline measurements starting in your 30s when testosterone begins its natural decline, then repeat annually or biannually for monitoring trends. Order testing when experiencing symptoms like fatigue, decreased muscle mass, mood changes, or declining libido. Schedule testing before starting any anti-aging interventions to establish proper baselines. Morning collection (8 AM - noon) provides optimal testosterone measurement accuracy, as levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day.
How do I interpret the results?
Results should be reviewed with a healthcare provider who can correlate findings with your symptoms and medical history. The panel identifies biomarkers outside normal ranges that may indicate accelerated aging or health risks requiring intervention. Each test includes age- and gender-specific reference ranges, with abnormal values flagged for attention.
Total Testosterone (300–1000 ng/dL)
- Low levels may indicate: Hypogonadism, fatigue, reduced libido
- High levels may suggest: Rare, possible steroid use
IGF-1 (Age-dependent, typically declines with age)
- Low levels may indicate: Increased fracture risk, slower recovery
- High levels may suggest: Possible growth hormone excess
Vitamin D (30–100 ng/mL)
- Low levels may indicate: Bone health issues, immune dysfunction
- High levels may suggest: Rare, possible toxicity
PSA (0–4.0 ng/mL)
- Low levels: Not typically concerning
- High levels may suggest: Possible prostate issues, needs follow-up
Low IGF-1 increases fracture risk by 23% for all fractures and 45% for hip fractures in older men (Academic OUP 2011).
Disclaimer: Reference ranges may vary by laboratory. Listed ranges are general guidelines and may differ from those used by the performing lab. Always consult your healthcare provider for interpretation.
Pre-test preparation
Fast for 12 hours prior to blood draw for accurate glucose and lipid measurements. Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before testing, as it can affect liver enzymes and triglycerides. Continue regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. Avoid vigorous exercise 24 hours before testing, as intense activity may temporarily affect certain biomarkers. Schedule morning collection when possible for optimal hormone measurement accuracy.
How often should I get tested?
- Baseline establishment (ages 30–40): Every 2–3 years
- Regular monitoring (ages 40+): Annually
- Active anti-aging interventions: Every 6 months
- Abnormal initial results: Every 3–6 months until normalized
- Testosterone therapy monitoring: Every 3–6 months initially, then annually
Why early detection matters
Early detection of aging-related changes allows for timely interventions that can significantly impact long-term health outcomes. Testosterone deficiency affects 38.7% of men aged 45 and older, with many remaining undiagnosed and untreated (Boston University Medical Center 2024). Vitamin D deficiency affects 26% of older men, with insufficiency present in 72%, leading to bone health issues and immune dysfunction (PMC 2009). Identifying metabolic dysfunction early enables lifestyle modifications and medical interventions that can prevent progression to diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other age-related conditions.
