What This Test Measures

  • Cholesterol Profile

    Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL and triglycerides: the main fats carried in your blood.

  • Insulin Resistance

    Your triglyceride-to-HDL ratio, a common indicator of how well your body responds to insulin.

  • Inflammation (hs-CRP)

    High-sensitivity C-reactive protein, a general marker of inflammation in the body.

  • GGT (Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase)

    An enzyme found mainly in the liver, and also in the kidneys and pancreas.

  • Average Blood Sugar (HbA1c)

    Your average blood sugar over roughly the past two to three months.

  • Fasting Glucose

    The amount of sugar in your blood after a period without eating.

  • Visceral Fat

    An estimate of the fat stored around your internal organs.

The list of markers is from Choose Health's own Core Metabolic Test page. The short descriptions are ours.

How It Works

    Collect your sample

    At home, with the painless lancet in the kit. Four or five drops of blood are enough for every marker on this test.

    Send it to the lab

    Post it back in the prepaid envelope that comes in the kit, from any USPS post office or drop box.

  3. 3

    Get your results

    Results are shared securely online about 3–4 days after the lab receives your sample.
