# Essential Panel

Core biomarker panel — the fastest way to start treatment.

This treatment is not currently available for checkout.

## What's in the Essential Panel?

Our core biomarker panel — the fastest path from lab draw to clinician-approved prescription. Covers the essentials your provider needs to safely start most treatments.

## What to expect

- Book your draw — Choose a lab location and a time that suits you after checkout.
- Results in days — Most results return within a few business days of your draw.
- A clinician reads them — A licensed provider reviews your results — not an algorithm.
- A baseline to track — Repeat testing later shows whether what you are doing is working.

## Your questions, answered.

What does the Essential Panel cover?

The core biomarkers a clinician needs to safely start most treatments — the fastest route from a blood draw to a prescribing decision.

Is this enough to start treatment?

For most treatments, yes. Some protocols require additional markers, in which case your clinician will tell you what else is needed.

Do I need to fast?

For most panels, yes — an eight to twelve hour fast gives the most reliable glucose and lipid results. Water is fine. Your booking confirmation will tell you what applies to your panel.

How long do results take?

Most results return within a few business days of your draw. You will be notified when they are ready.

Does a panel mean I will be prescribed something?

No. A panel establishes where you are. Whether any treatment follows is a clinical decision based on your results, your symptoms and your history.
