FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel is designed to evaluate crucial markers of aging, including blood sugar, kidney and liver function, cardiovascular markers, thyroid function, complete blood count, and hormone levels such as testosterone, IGF-1, HGH, DHEA sulfate, estradiol, and progesterone. It also includes vitamin D, iron status, PSA, homocysteine, high-sensitivity CRP, and a urinalysis. Together, these markers offer a broad view of how your body's systems are functioning so you can take informed steps toward overall health. This panel does not diagnose any condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this test?
Men who want a comprehensive look at metabolic, cardiovascular, thyroid, and hormonal health may benefit from this panel. It's suited to those curious about testosterone, HGH, and related hormone levels, as well as those wanting to review kidney, liver, and blood cell health. This test is intended for general wellness insight rather than diagnosing any specific condition.
3. When should I order this panel?
You may consider this panel as part of routine wellness screening, to establish a baseline before starting a new health or fitness program, or to monitor markers over time alongside guidance from your healthcare provider. This panel is not intended to diagnose a condition, and any testing schedule should be discussed with your provider.
4. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. Fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks beforehand. Avoid ejaculation, strenuous exercise, and biotin supplements for 72 hours before testing; wait at least six weeks after a prostate biopsy before PSA testing. PREP for PSA
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available in 3-5 days, though timing may take longer due to weather, holidays, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Patterns across multiple biomarkers often provide more meaningful insight than any single result on its own. Reviewing your results alongside your healthcare provider can help you understand what they mean for your overall health and whether any follow up is appropriate.
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.
7. What should I do if my results are abnormal?
If any of your results fall outside the expected range, share them with your healthcare provider. They can help determine whether the result reflects a temporary factor, requires further testing, or needs ongoing monitoring.
8. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency varies by individual, so retesting should be done as directed by your healthcare provider based on your personal health goals and history.
9. Why early detection matters
Reviewing these markers over time may support earlier awareness of changes in your metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular health, helping you and your healthcare provider make more informed decisions. This panel supports ongoing monitoring rather than guaranteeing detection of any specific condition.
Pre-Test Preparation
Fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw and maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks beforehand. Avoid ejaculation, strenuous exercise, and biotin supplements for 72 hours before testing; wait at least six weeks after a prostate biopsy before PSA testing.
