Hormone and Thyroid Markers
- Insulin-Like Growth Factor Test (IGF-1): Evaluates growth hormone activity and related pituitary function.
- Testosterone, Total: Measures bound and free testosterone.
- Testosterone, Free: Measures the active, unbound form of testosterone.
Lab-specific note (LabCorp only): Any Testosterone Free (Direct) or Total Testosterone result exceeding 1500 will be reported as ">1500."
- Estradiol: Checks estrogen levels relevant to reproductive health.
- Progesterone: Supports evaluation of menstrual and reproductive health.
- DHEA-S: Assesses adrenal gland function and androgen production.
- Human Growth Hormone (HGH): Evaluates pituitary gland function related to growth hormone.
- Estrogen, Total: Measures overall estrogen levels in the bloodstream.
- Thyroxine Free (T4), Direct: Assesses thyroid gland function independent of protein levels.
- Tri-Iodothyronine (T3), Free: Measures unbound T3 to help assess thyroid activity.
Urinalysis, Complete with Microscopic Examination
- Urinalysis, Complete with Microscopic Examination: Reviews urine for protein, glucose, and blood cells to assess urinary system health.
Additional Screening Markers
- Vitamin D, 25-Hydroxy: Reflects vitamin D status important for bone and immune health.
- Iron and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC): Calculates transferrin saturation to assess iron status.
- Hemoglobin A1c: Reflects average blood glucose over 2 to 3 months.
- Homocysteine: Helps assess cardiovascular risk.
- C-Reactive Protein, High Sensitivity: Detects low-level inflammation linked to cardiovascular risk.

FAQ
1. What is the purpose of this test?
This panel brings together metabolic, lipid, thyroid, blood count, hormonal, and inflammatory markers into one comprehensive test. Together, these categories offer a broad view of how your body's systems are functioning as you age. The panel is designed to support awareness and ongoing monitoring, not to diagnose any specific condition on its own.
2. Who would benefit from this test?
This panel may benefit women who want a comprehensive look at metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular wellness markers. It's well suited for anyone interested in tracking indicators related to aging and overall health, or who wants baseline data to discuss with a healthcare provider.
3. When should I order this panel?
You might consider ordering this panel as part of a general wellness check, to establish a baseline of key markers, or to monitor changes in metabolic, hormonal, or cardiovascular indicators over time. This panel is intended for screening and monitoring purposes rather than diagnosis.
4. Do I need to fast before this test?
Yes. Fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, keep a stable diet for 2-3 weeks beforehand, stop biotin 72 hours before collection, and rest for 30 minutes prior to collection.
5. How quickly will I get results?
Results are typically available in 3-5 days, though this may take longer due to weather, holidays, or lab delays.
6. How do I interpret the results?
Patterns across multiple biomarkers are often more meaningful than any single result on its own. Rather than focusing on one value in isolation, it helps to look at how your results fit together as a whole. Always discuss your results with a healthcare provider who can help you understand what they mean for you.
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, reach out to your healthcare provider to discuss what they mean and whether any follow-up steps make sense for you.
8. How often should I get tested?
Testing frequency varies from person to person. Follow the guidance of your healthcare provider as directed to determine what monitoring schedule is right for you.
9. Why early detection matters
Regularly reviewing markers like these may help support earlier awareness of changes in your metabolic, hormonal, and cardiovascular health. Staying informed about these indicators over time can be a helpful part of a broader approach to long-term wellness, though this panel alone does not diagnose or prevent any condition.
Pre-test preparation
Fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw and maintain a stable diet for 2-3 weeks beforehand. Stop biotin consumption 72 hours before collection, and rest for 30 minutes before your collection appointment. Do not stop prescribed medication unless instructed by your healthcare provider.
