Comprehensive liver and heart health assessment via blood test.

This blood test measures specific biomarkers to provide targeted health insights. Blood testing is the most common diagnostic tool in medicine, offering objective data about how your body is functioning at a cellular and molecular level. Whether screening for a specific condition, monitoring treatment effectiveness, or establishing a baseline for future comparison, individual blood tests give you and your healthcare provider precise, actionable information.

Preparation Required

Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.

Biomarkers Tested
