What tests are included in advanced blood testing? In a longevity clinic, advanced panels go beyond routine screening to assess cardiometabolic risk, inflammation, nutrient status, and hormone balance in a way that supports preventive and precision-based decisions.
At WellNest, the exact panel is personalized, but common categories include:
- Glucose regulation: fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c
- Lipids and cardiovascular risk markers (often including ApoB, and Lp(a) when indicated)
- Inflammation markers such as hs-CRP when clinically appropriate
- Liver and kidney function, electrolytes, and blood counts
- Iron studies (including ferritin) and selected micronutrients (e.g., vitamin D, B12)
- Thyroid markers (TSH and expanded markers when indicated)
- Sex hormones and related markers for HRT/TRT assessments
- Additional tests based on symptoms, family history, and medication use
We interpret results in context, including training load, sleep, body composition, and personal risk, then build a plan and retest strategically to track trends over time. The objective is clarity and early action, not endless testing.
