What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain, or general concerns about your health but aren't sure what's causing them. It provides a comprehensive snapshot of your metabolic function, cardiovascular health, blood composition, and inflammation levels to help identify underlying conditions that might be affecting your energy, weight, and overall wellness. Many people use this panel as a foundational health check or when symptoms suggest multiple body systems may be involved.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your metabolic markers, cholesterol levels, blood counts, and inflammation indicators mean for your overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, exercise suggestions, supplement considerations, or when to follow up with your primary care physician. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarkers over time using our trends feature to see how your lifestyle interventions are working.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (Chloride, Potassium, Sodium, BUN/Creatinine Ratio, ALT, AST, Alkaline Phosphatase, Bilirubin Total, Albumin/Globulin Ratio, Globulin, Albumin, Protein Total, Calcium, Carbon Dioxide, Creatinine, Urea Nitrogen BUN, Glucose, eGFR), Lipid Panel (Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, LDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, HDL Cholesterol, Cholesterol Total, Non-HDL Cholesterol), Complete Blood Count CBC with Differential and Platelets (White Blood Cell Count, Red Blood Cell Count, Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Platelet Count, MPV, Neutrophils, Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Eosinophils, Basophils, and related measurements), and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP). This comprehensive panel evaluates your metabolic health through glucose levels and kidney and liver function markers, which reveal how your body processes energy and filters toxins. It checks your cardiovascular risk with a complete lipid panel measuring cholesterol and triglycerides, assesses your blood composition through a complete blood count to detect anemia or immune issues, and measures high-sensitivity CRP to identify inflammation that may contribute to chronic disease.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw to ensure accurate results, especially for glucose and lipid measurements. This means no food or drinks except water during this period. You can take your regular medications unless your doctor advises otherwise, and try to schedule your appointment in the morning so fasting doesn't disrupt your entire day.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight changes, or general health concerns who wants a comprehensive overview of their body's function. It's also valuable for people monitoring chronic conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol, those starting a new diet or fitness program who want a baseline, and anyone due for an annual health check. If you have a family history of heart disease, diabetes, or metabolic conditions, this panel helps identify early warning signs.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include persistent tiredness despite adequate sleep, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, and feeling generally unwell without knowing why. You might also consider this test if you experience frequent headaches, dizziness, weakness, changes in urination patterns, or if you're concerned about your heart health or blood sugar levels. It's especially helpful when multiple vague symptoms make it hard to pinpoint a single cause.

How can I naturally support my metabolic health?

Supporting metabolic health starts with a balanced diet rich in whole foods, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables while limiting processed foods and added sugars. Regular physical activity combining cardio and strength training helps regulate blood sugar and improves cholesterol levels. Prioritizing 7-8 hours of quality sleep, managing stress through mindfulness or yoga, and staying well-hydrated all support optimal metabolic function.

What does high glucose mean?

High glucose levels indicate your blood sugar is elevated, which can happen due to insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes, or even temporary factors like stress or recent meals. Consistently high glucose can damage blood vessels over time and increase your risk for heart disease, kidney problems, and nerve damage. If your glucose is high, focus on reducing refined carbohydrates, increasing physical activity, and managing stress, then retest to monitor progress.

What does high cholesterol indicate?

High total cholesterol or high LDL (bad cholesterol) means you have excess fatty substances in your blood that can build up in artery walls and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. This can result from diet, genetics, lack of exercise, or other health conditions. Lowering cholesterol often involves eating more fiber, reducing saturated fats, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

How often should I retest my metabolic markers?

If you're healthy with normal results, retesting annually as part of routine wellness is typically sufficient. If you have borderline or abnormal results, your doctor may recommend retesting in 3-6 months after making lifestyle changes to see if they're working. People managing chronic conditions like diabetes or high cholesterol may need testing every 3-6 months, while those on medication adjustments might retest every 6-8 weeks until levels stabilize.
