At Room For Health, we dont guess we assess. So much of your health story lives beneath the surface, and lab work gives us the insight we need to personalize your care and help you feel your best.
Whether you’re dealing with fatigue, weight changes, mood shifts, or just want to stay ahead of chronic conditions, here’s why basic lab testing is one of the most important tools that should be done annually.
.Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) gives us a full snapshot of how your body is functioning. It checks blood sugar, kidney and liver function, and electrolytes—helping us catch signs of metabolic imbalance early, before symptoms even appear.
A Complete Blood Count (CBC) helps identify signs of anemia, infection, inflammation, and even some nutrient deficiencies by looking at your red and white blood cells and platelets.
We also check Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D, two common deficiencies that can affect energy, brain function, immunity, and mood. You might feel “off” and not realize it’s because your levels are low.
Thyroid testing (TSH, Free T4, and sometimes Free T3) helps us understand if your metabolism is running too slow or too fast—something that can deeply impact your weight, energy, mood, and more.
A Lipid panel looks at cholesterol and triglycerides—key markers for heart health. These numbers help us understand your cardiovascular risk and where nutrition or lifestyle shifts can make the biggest impact.
For men over a certain age or those struggling with health issues, Testosterone levels aren’t just about libido—they affect energy, strength, mood, and body composition in both men and women. Low levels can lead to fatigue, brain fog, and difficulty building muscle or losing fat.
These are some of the annual labs most men and woman should have on a yearly basis.
At Room for Health, we review your annual labs together—so you actually understand what’s going on in your body. And we use them to build a clear, personalized plan to help you feel better from the inside out and to decide which more in depth labs you might need.
