Annual baseline tiers from $67.64 (General Health - Basic, regularly $100.95); focused recheck bundles from $26.37. Promotional pricing at time of writing.
At a glance
Annual blood work establishes a personal baseline for markers that shift slowly, cholesterol, hemoglobin A1c, thyroid hormones, liver enzymes, kidney function, and iron stores. These tiered general health panels bundle 5 to 23 tests into one yearly draw, with focused add-ons for blood sugar, inflammation, and men's health. They suit adults who want year-over-year numbers to compare and to bring to their annual physical.
Best suited for
- Adults building a yearly lab routine alongside their annual physical
- People whose checkup blood work feels minimal and who want a deeper baseline
- Trend-trackers comparing this year's A1c, lipids, and ferritin against last year's
- Anyone who wants concrete numbers and questions ready before a doctor visit

Key biomarker ranges
Commonly used adult reference ranges for markers this panel measures, labs vary, so always interpret results against your lab's stated ranges and with your doctor.
Commonly used reference ranges place fasting glucose at 70–99 mg/dL; results vary with sleep, stress, and recent illness, and labs differ slightly.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Low | 50–70 mg/dL |
| Optimal | 70–100 mg/dL |
| Prediabetic range | 100–126 mg/dL |
| Diabetic range | 126–160 mg/dL |
Commonly used reference ranges place HbA1c below 5.7%; conditions affecting red blood cells can skew results, so labs and clinicians interpret in context.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Optimal | 4–5.7 % |
| Prediabetic range | 5.7–6.5 % |
| Diabetic range | 6.5–10 % |
Commonly used reference ranges accept up to ~25 µIU/mL, but many clinicians view single-digit fasting insulin as the more informative target; assays vary by lab.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Low | 0–2 µIU/mL |
| Optimal | 2–10 µIU/mL |
| Above optimal | 10–25 µIU/mL |
| High | 25–30 µIU/mL |
The importance of testing
A single lab result tells you where you are; an annual series tells you where you are heading. Markers like LDL cholesterol, A1c, ferritin, and TSH drift gradually, so a yearly draw taken under similar conditions makes real change visible, and makes it easier to connect shifts to what happened that year, from a new training block to a new medication.
The tiered structure maps to how deep an annual baseline you want. The Basic panel (5 tests, 30 biomarkers) covers metabolic function, blood health, lipids, and thyroid; Advanced (13 tests, 86 biomarkers) adds blood sugar, inflammation, vitamin D, and kidney markers; Advanced Plus (23 tests, 113 biomarkers) layers on cardiovascular risk, hormone balance, and vitamin levels. Focused bundles, A1c with insulin and glucose, lipids with hs-CRP, iron with ferritin, work as mid-year rechecks for the markers you are actively managing.
Annual self-ordered labs complement, rather than replace, your physical. Arriving with a year-over-year table of your own results turns a routine visit into a more specific conversation: which trends look fine, which markers deserve a closer look, and whether anything warrants follow-up testing your doctor orders directly.

Order NowFrequently asked questions
Which blood tests should I include in annual blood work?
A practical annual baseline covers lipids, blood sugar (A1c, glucose), thyroid function, liver enzymes, kidney markers, and blood health, which is what the General Health tiers bundle in one draw. Start with the Basic tier (30 biomarkers) or step up to Advanced (86 biomarkers) if you also want inflammation, vitamin D, and urine-based kidney markers, then let your doctor tailor anything further.
Can I order my annual labs without a doctor's visit?
Yes, these panels are ordered online without a referral, and you schedule the draw at a local lab yourself. Results come to you securely, so you can review the numbers before your physical and share the report with your doctor.
Do self-ordered annual labs replace my yearly physical?
No, they complement it. These panels measure biomarkers and surface trends, but interpreting results, ordering follow-up testing, and making care decisions belong in a conversation with your doctor.
How often should I repeat these panels?
Many people repeat a broad baseline once a year and use smaller bundles, such as A1c with insulin and glucose, or lipids with hs-CRP, for interim rechecks of markers they are actively working on. Your doctor can advise the right cadence for your situation.
Is this kind of testing available in every US state?
No, direct-to-consumer lab testing is restricted or prohibited in New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island, so residents of those states may be blocked at the partner's checkout. In most other states you can order and schedule entirely online.
