Choose Standard 4-panel

The 4-panel is the provider-reviewed default for hormone optimization and standard wellness monitoring.

Choose Comprehensive 80+ panel

The comprehensive panel is appropriate when advanced cardiovascular, inflammation, or micronutrient context is goal-aligned.

Educational. Final pathway selection is provider-reviewed via synchronous video consultation against your biomarkers, history, and goals.

Frequently asked

Do I need ApoB and Lp(a) at baseline?

For cardiovascular-focused candidates yes — they replace traditional cholesterol decision-making.

Is more always better?

No — uninterpreted markers add noise without changing decisions.
