Wellness panels are an aspect of preventative healthcare. Therefore, they are integral to improving your patients’ long-term health. As preliminary health screenings, wellness panels are considered a part of regular blood work during annual check-ups. With a broad focus, wellness panels can act as a diagnostic tool and isolate potential health conditions early-on. Additionally, these panels provide a baseline of health. Accessible and effective, they are ideal for tracking the efficacy of treatments. Our customizable wellness panels may also offer insights into your patient’s lifestyle, including factors such as stress, diet, and sleep.

Hormones

Monitoring hormone levels is key, as they play a significant role in nearly every system of the body. Wellness panels track hormones such as cortisol, which is related to stress. Elevated levels of cortisol may signal a necessary lifestyle change or treatment plan. Tracking other hormones may help with early detection of chronic conditions. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), which is instrumental in metabolism, TSH is associated with kidney disease at elevated levels. Additional hormones, such as the sex hormones testosterone, estrogen, estradiol, and DHEA-S are related to reproductive health, energy, and mood.

Vitamins and Nutrients

Additional markers include certain vitamins and nutrients. Inexplicable symptoms or suspected deficiencies can be explored by measuring vitamin levels in the blood. Issues such as a vitamin D deficiency can be easily isolated and addressed through a wellness panel.

Heart Health Biomarkers

Our wellness and health panels also include several biomarkers that analyze heart health, including high-sensitivity c-reactive protein (CRP), a marker for inflammation, and hemoglobin A1C, which reveals blood sugar and glucose levels. Complete blood count (CBC) with white blood cell differential can likewise reveal fundamentals of heart function and immune health. As blood cell count is affected by several health conditions, CBC testing is also valuable for annual screening. Additional heart health biomarkers reveal the risk and progression of heart disease. The lipid panel provides valuable information about total cholesterol, high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL), each of which is instrumental in heart health and wellness.
