Why is this called a "longevity" panel?

These markers are specifically chosen based on longevity research - they're associated with healthspan and lifespan. Optimizing these biomarkers is the focus of preventive and longevity medicine.

What hormones decline with age?

Testosterone declines about 1% per year after 30 in men (and is important for women too). DHEA-S peaks in your 20s and declines steadily. IGF-1 also declines with age. Tracking these helps identify when intervention might help.

What does optimal insulin mean for longevity?

Fasting insulin is one of the most important longevity markers. High insulin (even with normal blood sugar) accelerates aging, promotes fat storage, and increases disease risk. Optimal levels are 2-6 µIU/mL.

How often should I test this panel?

Annually for most people. If you're actively working on optimizing these markers through lifestyle changes or treatments, every 3-6 months can help track progress.

Longevity & Aging Panel - Optimize Your Healthspan

This advanced panel targets the biomarkers that matter most for healthy aging: hormones that decline with age, metabolic health, inflammation, and cardiovascular risk factors.

Aging isn't just about adding years - it's about maintaining vitality, energy, and health as you age. This comprehensive panel measures the key biomarkers associated with healthy longevity:

• Metabolic Health - CBC, CMP, Lipid Panel, HbA1c, Fasting Insulin • Inflammation - hs-CRP, Homocysteine (both linked to accelerated aging) • Key Vitamins - Vitamin D (essential for aging well) • Hormones - Testosterone, DHEA-S, IGF-1 (all decline with age)

These markers help you understand your biological age vs. chronological age and identify areas to optimize for a longer, healthier life.

Fasting Required

One or more tests in this panel require fasting for accurate results:

Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before your blood draw.
Water is allowed and encouraged - stay hydrated!
Schedule your lab visit in the morning for convenience.

What This Panel Measures

This panel measures 11 tests across 4 categories: metabolic function (CBC, CMP, lipids, HbA1c, insulin), inflammation (hs-CRP, homocysteine), vitamin status (Vitamin D), and hormones (testosterone, DHEA-S, IGF-1). Over 50 biomarkers for comprehensive aging assessment.

Who Should Get This Panel

Adults focused on proactive health optimization, those over 40 wanting to track aging biomarkers, people interested in longevity medicine, anyone wanting to understand their "biological age," and health-conscious individuals who want the most comprehensive testing.

When to Get Tested

Fasting for 9-12 hours is required for accurate insulin and lipid results. Test in the morning (7-10 AM) for accurate testosterone and cortisol patterns. Ideal for annual or semi-annual tracking.

Understanding Your Results

Key longevity targets: Fasting insulin <5-7, HbA1c <5.3%, hs-CRP <0.5, homocysteine <7, Vitamin D 50-70, testosterone in upper half of range, DHEA-S appropriate for age, IGF-1 in optimal range (not too high or low).
