At a glance

Baseline blood work is a broad, one-time snapshot of your key biomarkers, this panel captures 78 of them across 17 tests, spanning cardiometabolic, thyroid, nutrient, liver, kidney, and blood-count markers. It suits adults starting a new training block, nutrition protocol, or health push who want a reference point to measure future results against. Order online without a doctor's visit; many results arrive in 24–48 hours with built-in trend charts for repeat testing.

Best suited for

  • Adults starting a new nutrition, training, or health protocol who want a before snapshot
  • Self-quantifiers who retest on a schedule and track biomarker trends
  • People who have never had broad lab work and want a comprehensive starting dataset
  • Anyone who wants their doctor comparing them to their own history, not just reference ranges

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.

Fasting Glucose (mg/dL)

Commonly used reference ranges place fasting glucose at 70–99 mg/dL; results vary with sleep, stress, and recent illness, and labs differ slightly.

Fasting Glucose reference ranges (mg/dL)
ZoneRange
Low5070 mg/dL
Optimal70100 mg/dL
Prediabetic range100126 mg/dL
Diabetic range126160 mg/dL
Hemoglobin A1c (%)

Commonly used reference ranges place HbA1c below 5.7%; conditions affecting red blood cells can skew results, so labs and clinicians interpret in context.

Hemoglobin A1c reference ranges (%)
ZoneRange
Optimal45.7 %
Prediabetic range5.76.5 %
Diabetic range6.510 %
Apolipoprotein B (mg/dL)

Commonly used reference ranges favor ApoB below ~90 mg/dL; people with higher baseline cardiovascular risk are often advised toward lower targets.

Optimal090 mg/dL
Borderline high90110 mg/dL

The importance of testing

A single lab result rarely tells the whole story, what matters is how your numbers move. Baseline testing gives every future result a reference point: your own prior values rather than population ranges alone. This panel is built for exactly that, packing 17 tests and 78 biomarkers into one draw so your starting snapshot is broad enough to be useful years from now.

The cardiometabolic block, Apolipoprotein B, a full lipid panel, hemoglobin A1c, and hs-CRP, captures markers associated with heart and blood sugar health that respond to changes in diet, training, and body composition, making them natural candidates for trend tracking. The thyroid panel (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) and nutrient markers (vitamin D, ferritin with iron and TIBC, magnesium, phosphate) establish where your levels sit before you change anything.

Organ chemistry and blood counts complete the baseline: a comprehensive metabolic panel plus GGT, LD, and uric acid track liver and kidney markers, and a CBC with differential screens blood health. The partner's portal charts each marker over time, so repeat panels, quarterly, biannually, or yearly, build a visual trend line you can bring to your doctor.

Discuss the plan with your clinician: which markers to watch, how often to retest, and what degree of change would warrant follow-up. Baseline data makes those conversations concrete instead of hypothetical.

Frequently asked questions

What is baseline blood work?

Baseline blood work is a broad initial set of lab tests that records where your biomarkers stand today, so future results can be compared against your own starting values. This panel establishes that baseline with 17 tests covering 78 biomarkers across heart, thyroid, metabolic, inflammation, nutrient, liver, kidney, and blood health.

Do I need a doctor to order baseline labs?

No, this panel can be ordered online without a doctor's visit, because the partner lab provides the physician-authorized requisition. Results are delivered privately to your secure account, and they are designed to be reviewed with your own doctor.

How often should I repeat the panel to track trends?

There is no single right interval, many people retest yearly, and some choose quarterly or biannual testing during an active health push; your doctor can help you pick a cadence based on your goals and results. The partner's portal includes trend charts, so each repeat panel adds a point to your visual history.

How quickly do results come back, and how do I pay?

Many results return in 24–48 hours to a private online portal. Pricing is cash-pay and shown upfront, insurance is not billed, and HSA/FSA cards are accepted at checkout.

Can I order this panel anywhere in the US?

Not everywhere, 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 other states you can typically use any of roughly 2,100 draw sites nationwide.
