Your standard blood panel
What we test before your provider visit. Everyone gets the same core panel, and men and women each get a few markers of their own.
Before your draw
Fast 10–12 hours beforehand. Water is fine. Skip hard training the day before.
After your draw
Your provider reviews the results and goes over them with you at your visit.
