BASELINE LABS

Always require professional medical interpretation for accurate diagnosis.

Annual bloodwork is a simple and effective way to monitor your health and catch potential issues early. 

1. Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential
• What it does: Checks your red and white blood cells, platelets, and hemoglobin levels.
• Why it matters: It can detect infections, anemia, immune system issues, or even signs of more serious conditions like leukemia.

2. Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP)
• What it does: Measures things like blood sugar, kidney function, liver enzymes, and electrolyte balance.
• Why it matters: Helps identify problems with your kidneys or liver, detect diabetes, and ensure your body is functioning properly.

3. Lipid Panel with Total Cholesterol
• What it does: Measures cholesterol levels (HDL, LDL) and triglycerides.
• Why it matters: High cholesterol can lead to heart disease or stroke. This test helps you manage your heart health early.

4. Iron Testing
• What it does: Checks iron levels in your blood.
• Why it matters: Low iron can cause fatigue and anemia, while high iron could indicate other health issues.

5. Vitamin D3
• What it does: Measures vitamin D levels in your blood.
• Why it matters: Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. Deficiency can lead to fatigue, weak bones, or a weakened immune system.

6. Thyroid Panel
• What it does: Evaluates thyroid hormone levels.
• Why it matters: An overactive or underactive thyroid can affect energy, metabolism, weight, and mood.

Why Do These Tests Annually?

Running these labs every year helps establish a baseline for your health. If something changes—like a rise in cholesterol or blood sugar—your doctor can catch it early and recommend lifestyle changes or treatments before it becomes a bigger problem. Think of these tests as a yearly check-up for your body’s internal systems to keep everything running smoothly!
