At a glance
Annual physical blood work for men typically covers cholesterol and lipids, blood sugar, and liver and kidney values, and these self-ordered wellness panels cover all of that plus thyroid, vitamin D, hormone, and inflammation markers in one draw. They suit men who want lab results in hand before their yearly checkup, so the appointment is spent discussing numbers rather than waiting on them. Panels range from a 9-test baseline to a 43-test, 158-biomarker workup.
Best suited for
- Men who want complete lab results in hand before their annual physical
- Anyone whose yearly checkup labs feel too limited and who wants broader biomarker coverage
- Men building a year-over-year record of cholesterol, blood sugar, hormone, and organ-health markers
- People preparing specific questions for their doctor and wanting data to anchor the conversation
- Men whose next physical is months away but who want a current health snapshot now

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 label LDL-C under 100 mg/dL optimal; ideal targets depend on your overall cardiovascular risk profile.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Optimal | 0–100 mg/dL |
| Near optimal | 100–130 mg/dL |
| Borderline high | 130–160 mg/dL |
| High | 160–190 mg/dL |
| Very high | 190–220 mg/dL |
Commonly used cutoffs differ by sex: below 40 mg/dL is low for men, below 50 mg/dL for women; 60 mg/dL and above is generally considered protective-range.
| Zone | Range |
|---|---|
| Low | 0–40 mg/dL |
| Acceptable | 40–60 mg/dL |
| Optimal | 60–100 mg/dL |
The importance of testing
A standard annual physical often includes only a handful of routine labs, and results usually arrive after the appointment is over. Ordering a comprehensive panel ahead of your checkup flips that sequence: you arrive with a current report covering lipid and cholesterol values that are markers associated with cardiovascular risk, blood sugar regulation, liver and kidney function, and, in the deeper tiers, thyroid, vitamin D, hormone, and inflammation markers your doctor can interpret in the context of your history.
The tiered structure makes it easy to match the workup to your visit. Panel 1, with 9 tests and 101 biomarkers, mirrors and extends the scope of typical checkup labs. Panel 3 deepens blood sugar, vitamin D, and thyroid coverage, Panel 4 and above add hormone-related testing, and Panels 6 through 9 reach into nutritional status, mineral balance, and dietary fats for men who want the most complete picture on the table.
Year-over-year trend lines are the real payoff. The partner page notes blood cells regenerate roughly every 120 days, so repeating the same panel before each physical shows how the past year of diet, training, sleep, and any doctor-guided changes actually registered in your labs. Bring the full report to your appointment and flag anything out of range, or drifting, for discussion rather than self-interpreting single values.

What blood work should a man get before an annual physical?
A useful pre-physical workup covers cholesterol and lipids, blood sugar, and liver and kidney values, with thyroid, vitamin D, hormone, and inflammation markers added if you want a fuller picture. These panels bundle that coverage into a single order, from a 9-test baseline up to 43 tests and 158 biomarkers, so you arrive at your appointment with results ready to discuss.
Can I order this blood work myself, without a doctor's order?
Yes, the panels are ordered directly online through the partner's site with no doctor's appointment needed to purchase, and you complete the draw at a local collection site. You receive the results yourself, which makes it practical to have them in hand before your physical.
Will my doctor accept self-ordered lab results at my physical?
Most physicians will review results you bring, since the panels are run on standard laboratory tests, though your doctor may repeat or add specific tests based on your history. Bring the full report rather than a summary, and flag any out-of-range values you want to cover during the visit.
Is self-ordered blood work available in every 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. If you live elsewhere, confirm your nearest draw location on the partner page when ordering.
How far before my physical should I get the blood draw?
Aim to complete the draw one to two weeks before your appointment so results are back in time to review. Panels that include glucose and lipid testing are commonly collected after an overnight fast, so check the preparation instructions for your specific panel when you order.
