Frequently Asked Questions

Which blood test provider offers the best value?

Oura Health Panels offers the lowest entry point at $99/year for 50 biomarkers. Function Health provides the most comprehensive testing with 160+ biomarkers for $365/year (first year). The best choice depends on your specific health goals and budget.

How often should I get blood work done?

Most health optimization experts recommend testing 2-4 times per year. This allows you to establish baselines, track trends, and measure the effectiveness of lifestyle changes. Quarterly testing is ideal when actively optimizing specific markers.

Do I need a doctor's order?

Most direct-to-consumer providers include the physician order. Some states (NY, NJ, RI) have restrictions on direct-to-consumer testing. Check with your chosen provider about availability in your state.

Can I use HSA/FSA funds?

Yes, most providers accept HSA/FSA payment. Some people also submit receipts to insurance for partial reimbursement. Check with your provider and insurance company for specific policies.

Which biomarkers are most important?

Essential markers include:Complete Blood Count, Metabolic Panel, Lipid Panel, Thyroid (TSH, Free T3/T4), Vitamin D, B12, Ferritin, and hs-CRP. For optimization, consider adding hormones, advanced cardiovascular markers (ApoB, Lp(a)), and metabolic markers (HbA1c, insulin).

What's the difference between at-home and lab draw testing?

At-home tests use finger-prick blood collection and mail-in kits, offering convenience but typically testing fewer markers. Lab draw services use venous blood draws at Quest, Labcorp, or mobile phlebotomist visits, allowing for more comprehensive panels and higher accuracy for certain tests.

How long does it take to get blood test results?

Most providers deliver results within 3-7 business days after sample receipt. Some offer expedited processing. At-home tests may take longer due to shipping time. Lab draw results are often faster since samples go directly to the lab.

Can I compare results from different blood test providers?

Yes, but reference ranges may vary between labs. Focus on comparing your personal trends over time rather than absolute values between providers. Most biomarker values are standardized, but some like testosterone may use different methodologies.

Should I fast before a blood test?

It depends on the test. Fasting 8-12 hours is required for accurate glucose, insulin, and triglyceride measurements. Most comprehensive panels recommend fasting for best results. Water is usually allowed and encouraged. Some providers offer both fasting and non-fasting panels - check your specific test requirements.

What should I do to prepare for a blood draw?

Stay well-hydrated (water is fine while fasting) as this makes veins easier to find. Avoid intense exercise 24 hours before testing as it can temporarily affect some markers. Take your regular medications unless instructed otherwise. Morning draws are often recommended for hormone testing as levels fluctuate throughout the day.
