There are a handful of lab markers that quietly shape how you feel every day. Your blood sugar, your cholesterol, your thyroid, your red and white blood cells, your kidney and liver function. Most adults see these numbers if their doctor orders them at an annual visit. Even then, the results often come back with a brief "everything looks normal" and no real conversation about what they mean.
This panel puts those numbers in your hands. It's the foundation, the bloodwork every adult should have access to, regardless of whether you have a primary care provider, insurance, or a specific health concern. Think of it as a starting point for understanding your body.
Any adult who wants a clear picture of their foundational health data. Men or women. Any stage of life.
Especially relevant if you don't currently have a primary care provider, if your insurance doesn't cover regular labs, or if you simply want to check in on your baseline health without the bureaucracy.
This panel exists because Discreet Health believes every adult deserves access to their baseline health data. These are the most fundamental bloodwork markers, the ones that offer a general read on how your body is doing.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with differential. Looks at your red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, a general window into immune function, oxygen-carrying capacity, and overall blood health.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP). Checks kidney function, liver function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance.
Hemoglobin A1c. Your average blood sugar over the past three months, one of the most important markers for metabolic health.
Standard lipid panel. Total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides, the foundation of cardiovascular risk assessment.
TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone). A first look at thyroid function, which influences energy, metabolism, mood, and more.
Numbers on a page are data, not a diagnosis or a treatment plan. If something comes back outside the normal range, and if you'd like help understanding what your results mean, you have options.
For residents of Virginia, Maryland, DC, and Delaware, you can book an interpretation visit with Discreet Health for a clear, educational walk-through of your numbers.
If you live elsewhere, we recommend following up with a licensed clinician in your state.
If you're looking for a treatment plan or ongoing care beyond interpretation, that lives in our clinical programs (available only to residents of VA, MD, DC, and DE).
Fasting
This panel is best run fasting. Plan to fast for 8 to 12 hours before your draw so the lipid panel, glucose on the CMP, and hemoglobin A1c give the most meaningful results. Water is fine. Morning appointments are ideal.
A dried urine test that measures sex hormones, adrenal hormones, and the metabolites your body produces as it processes them. Often chosen by women already on hormone therapy who want additional detail. We're upfront about where this test is useful and where blood work gives us more reliable answers.
A look at how your cortisol rises, falls, and settles across the day. Useful for understanding stress patterns, sleep issues, and HPA axis dysregulation when blood cortisol alone doesn't tell the full story.
A comprehensive stool test that identifies gut bacteria, yeast, parasites, and markers of digestion, inflammation, and intestinal barrier function. Often chosen by women investigating digestive symptoms or the gut-hormone connection.
A urine-based test that measures mycotoxins (toxic byproducts of mold) in your body. Often chosen by women with a history of water-damaged buildings or unexplained symptoms that haven't responded to other interventions.
An at-home test that uses DNA analysis to identify the bacteria, yeast, and organisms living in your vaginal microbiome. Often chosen by women with recurrent symptoms or those investigating the connection between hormones, the gut, and vaginal health.
Compassionate, evidence-based hormone health care for women, delivered through secure telemedicine.
