About
Metabolic Pro Panel is Healthspan's focused read on fuel handling, insulin resistance, inflammation, thyroid/cortisol balance, and nutrient signals. It pairs fasting insulin with glucose and HbA1c, adds an NMR lipoprofile with LP-IR, includes hs-CRP, ESR, homocysteine, ANA, thyroid and cortisol markers, and reaches into vitamin D, magnesium, copper, ceruloplasmin, and ferritin. It is a one-time $120 fasted blood draw with physician review and HSA/FSA eligibility.
A Healthspan physician reviews every result before release and adds personalized context by marker. A live clinician review can be booked separately for deeper interpretation.
What to Know
Signature approach
The panel groups markers by metabolic mechanism: glucose/insulin regulation, lipid particle behavior, inflammation, thyroid/cortisol, liver/kidney support, and nutrient status. That lets the physician review connect a high A1c, fasting insulin, LP-IR, low vitamin D, or thyroid drift to a practical metabolic pattern instead of a single isolated number.
What sets it apart
- Insulin plus HbA1c. Fasting insulin can show compensating insulin resistance before glucose looks abnormal.
- NMR lipid data included. LDL particle number, LDL size, ApoB, Lp(a), and LP-IR add particle-level metabolic context.
- Inflammation and nutrient reach. hs-CRP, homocysteine, copper/ceruloplasmin, vitamin D, magnesium, thyroid, and cortisol all sit in the same draw.
Before You Order
- State availability. It is unavailable in NY, NJ, and RI.
- Prep. Fast 12 hours, avoid strenuous exercise beforehand, hydrate, and bring photo ID.
- Turnaround. Results usually take 2-3 weeks after the lab visit.
- Live interpretation. Physician review is included; a line-by-line clinician consult is optional and separately billed.
- Panel scope. Sex hormones, full CBC red-cell indices, thyroid antibodies, genetics, imaging, and epigenetic age are outside this draw.

Reference ranges methodology
Results are shown in Healthspan's dashboard with physician-written context. The source supports personalized interpretation and standard reference context, but does not publish a separate metabolic scoring method.

In practiceReal-world pricing notes, add-ons, and coverage limits.
One-time price: $120 for the panel, physician review, and dashboard report, with HSA/FSA eligibility and no membership requirement. A separately booked clinician review costs extra if you want line-by-line interpretation. Retesting every 6-12 months puts ongoing self-directed monitoring around $120/yr - $240/yr. The $99/mo membership can be better if you want labs tied to prescriptions, coaching, and physician messaging.

Frequently asked questions
What makes this different from basic labs?
It adds fasting insulin, NMR lipid particles, LP-IR, hs-CRP, homocysteine, thyroid/cortisol markers, and nutrient signals to the glucose and lipid basics.
Who is it useful for?
People tracking insulin resistance, metabolic health, weight changes, inflammation, thyroid/cortisol questions, or response to diet, exercise, supplements, or medications.
Do I need to fast?
Yes. Fast for 12 hours, avoid strenuous exercise beforehand, hydrate, and bring photo ID.
How long do results take?
Usually 2-3 weeks after the lab visit, then the report posts to the Healthspan dashboard after physician review.
Where is it available?
At partner labs in 47 states, excluding New York, New Jersey, and Rhode Island.
