More Details
What is the purpose of this test?
The PPP Wellness 3 Blood Test Panel provides a comprehensive overview of your cardiometabolic, thyroid, hormonal, and general health status by measuring over 14 key blood biomarkers. This panel screens for common health risks including diabetes, cardiovascular disease, thyroid dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, and nutritional deficiencies. The test empowers you to take a proactive approach to your health by identifying potential issues before symptoms develop.
Who would benefit from this test?
Adults seeking proactive health screening will find this panel particularly valuable, especially those with risk factors for metabolic or cardiovascular disease. People monitoring existing chronic conditions like diabetes, hypothyroidism, or hormonal imbalances can use this panel for ongoing health management. The test is also beneficial for individuals beginning wellness programs, those with family histories of chronic disease, or anyone wanting a thorough health check without requiring a doctor's visit first.
When should I order the PPP Wellness 3 Blood Test Panel?
Consider ordering this panel annually as part of routine wellness screening, or when beginning a new health and fitness program. The American Diabetes Association (2024) recommends regular screening for adults with risk factors for type 2 diabetes (https://diabetesjournals.org/care/issue/47/Supplement_1). If you have symptoms like unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or concerns about hormonal balance, this comprehensive panel can provide valuable insights to discuss with your healthcare provider.
How do I interpret the results?
Your results will display each biomarker level alongside normal reference ranges, with abnormal findings clearly highlighted. Here's what key HbA1c results mean:
HbA1c Below 5.7
- What it means: Normal glucose metabolism
- Typical action: Continue healthy lifestyle habits
HbA1c 5.7–6.4
- What it means: Prediabetes
- Typical action: Lifestyle changes, follow-up testing
HbA1c 6.5 or higher
- What it means: Diabetes
- Typical action: Medical evaluation and treatment
Nearly 38% of U.S. adults have prediabetes, making early detection through HbA1c testing crucial for prevention (CDC National Diabetes Statistics Report, 2024).
Abnormal results in other areas may indicate the need for lifestyle modifications, further testing, or medical consultation. Always review your complete results with a healthcare provider for proper interpretation and personalized recommendations.
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 8-12 hours prior to your blood draw, consuming only water during this period. Continue taking your regular medications unless specifically instructed otherwise by your healthcare provider. If you're unsure about any medications, consult with your doctor before testing. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before testing, as this can affect some biomarker levels.
How often should I get tested?
- General wellness screening – Suggested interval: Annually
- Diabetes management – Suggested interval: Every 3–6 months
- Thyroid monitoring – Suggested interval: Every 6–12 months
- Cardiovascular risk factors – Suggested interval: Every 6–12 months
- Hormone replacement therapy – Suggested interval: Every 3–6 months initially
Why early detection matters
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in the U.S., while 11.6% of adults have diagnosed diabetes and up to 38% have prediabetes (CDC 2024). Early detection through comprehensive screening allows for timely intervention before serious complications develop. Up to 12% of Americans will develop thyroid dysfunction, and 42% have vitamin D deficiency (American Thyroid Association 2023, NIH 2023). Identifying these conditions early enables more effective treatment and better long-term health outcomes.
