A hundred data points, read by someone who knows what they mean.
This blood test provides insights into your current health and detects early signs of issues like diabetes, hormonal imbalances, and heart disease, promoting a proactive approach to wellness.
Comprehensive Biomarker Panel: A Deep Look at Your Health
Our advanced biomarker panel goes far beyond a standard annual checkup. With dozens of individual markers, we build a detailed picture of how your body is functioning: hormones, metabolism, heart health, inflammation, nutrients, and organ function, all in one comprehensive draw.
- ✓Hormone Balance: Thyroid, adrenal, and reproductive hormones affecting energy, mood, weight, and vitality
- ✓Blood Sugar & Metabolism: Early insight into how your body processes sugar and insulin
- ✓Heart Health: Advanced cholesterol and lipid markers beyond a standard panel
- ✓Inflammation & Immunity: Sensitive markers for inflammation and autoimmune activity
- ✓Nutrient Status: Key vitamins and minerals essential for energy and brain function
- ✓Organ Function: A full check on liver, kidney, and digestive health
- ✓Complete Blood Count: Immune health, oxygen delivery, and overall vitality
This depth of testing lets us move beyond "normal" and toward what's truly optimal for you, finding root causes, not just symptoms.
How Discovery Diagnostics works
Dr. Roxanne Pero explains how Discovery Diagnostics gives us the data behind your Advanced Biomarker Panel, read against what's optimal for you, not just what's normal. Your results are reviewed with one of our nurse practitioners or physician assistants.
Precision at the cellular level.
Our lab reports are interpreted, not just delivered. We track over 120 markers to build a living picture of your metabolic, hormonal, and inflammatory health.
Hemoglobin A1c
A 3-month snapshot of average blood sugar. Essential for spotting pre-diabetic shifts and glycation-related aging before they progress.
Fasting Insulin
The earliest marker of insulin resistance. Elevated levels often precede abnormal glucose by years and drive inflammation and weight gain.
Free T3
The active thyroid hormone that regulates metabolism, energy, and body temperature. Standard panels often miss this critical marker.
hs-CRP
High-sensitivity C-reactive protein helps quantify low-grade inflammation, a key driver of cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk.
Designed for specific patterns, not everyone.

The full scope of care.
Expanded panel
Over 100 markers spanning metabolic, cardiovascular, hormonal, thyroid, nutrient, and inflammatory systems.
NP/PA-led review
A dedicated review visit with one of our nurse practitioners or physician assistants, walking through every out-of-range and every borderline value.
Trending over time
Results stored and charted so the next draw is compared to you, not to a population.
Every marker, and what it means.
Hormonal Balance
Your hormones govern far more than reproduction. They shape your energy, sleep, mood, motivation, and how your body ages. This panel captures the key sex and adrenal hormones so we can identify imbalances long before they show up as fatigue, weight changes, or burnout.
DHEA
An adrenal hormone that reflects your body's stress resilience and serves as a raw material for other key hormones.
Cortisol, Total (AM)
Your primary stress hormone. Patterns that run too high or too low can point to adrenal strain or chronic stress.
FSH & LH
Pituitary signals that drive reproductive hormone production in both men and women.
Estradiol
The primary form of estrogen, central to mood, bone density, and metabolic health.
Progesterone
Works alongside estrogen to support hormonal balance, mood stability, and restful sleep.
Testosterone (Free & Total) + SHBG
Essential for muscle, drive, and cognitive sharpness in both men and women; SHBG shows how much is actually available for your body to use.
Thyroid Function
The thyroid quietly sets the pace for nearly every system in the body: metabolism, temperature, energy, and mental clarity. A standard TSH test alone often misses subtle dysfunction, so we look at the fuller picture.
TSH
The pituitary signal that tells your thyroid how much hormone to make.
Free T4
The main storage form of thyroid hormone circulating in your blood.
Free T3
The active form of thyroid hormone your cells actually use for energy.
Reverse T3
An inactive counterpart to T3 that can rise during stress or illness, giving insight into how efficiently your thyroid hormone is being used.
TPO & Thyroglobulin Antibodies
Screens for autoimmune activity against the thyroid, often the earliest sign of thyroid dysfunction.
Metabolic & Blood Sugar Health
Blood sugar and insulin issues develop silently for years before a diagnosis of prediabetes or diabetes ever appears. These two markers give us an early, high-resolution view of how your body is managing sugar and insulin.
Hemoglobin A1c
A three-month average of your blood sugar, and one of the most important long-term metabolic markers we track.
Insulin, Fasting
Often rises years before blood sugar does, making it one of the earliest available warning signs of metabolic dysfunction.
Cardiovascular Health
Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, and a standard cholesterol panel only tells part of the story. We add advanced particle and genetic markers to get a far more complete read on your cardiovascular risk.
Total Cholesterol
The sum of all cholesterol carried in your blood.
LDL Cholesterol
"Bad" cholesterol. Elevated levels contribute to plaque buildup in the arteries.
HDL Cholesterol
"Good" cholesterol. Helps clear excess cholesterol from the arteries.
Triglycerides
A form of stored fat in the blood; elevated levels raise cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
ApoB
Counts the actual number of artery-clogging particles in your blood, a sharper predictor of heart disease risk than LDL alone.
Lp(a)
A largely genetic marker that can meaningfully raise cardiovascular risk, and one most people never get tested for.
Oxidized LDL
Measures how much of your LDL cholesterol has been damaged by oxidative stress, a key step in plaque formation. Reference ranges vary by lab methodology.
Inflammation & Immune Function
Low-grade, chronic inflammation is linked to nearly every major age-related disease, often without a single symptom to warn you. These markers help us see what's happening beneath the surface.
hs-CRP
A highly sensitive marker of systemic inflammation, closely tied to cardiovascular and metabolic risk.
Homocysteine
Reflects vascular and cellular health; elevated levels are associated with oxidative stress and heart disease risk.
ANA Screen
Screens for early autoimmune activity, with reflex testing to clarify any positive result.
Nutrient Status
Even a well-balanced diet can leave you low in the nutrients your body relies on most. These markers uncover hidden deficiencies that quietly affect energy, mood, and cognitive sharpness.
Ferritin
Your body's iron reserves. Too low drives fatigue, too high can signal inflammation or oxidative stress.
Folate, RBC
A longer-term view of folate status than a standard serum test, important for energy and cellular repair.
Vitamin B12
Essential for energy, nerve function, and cognitive clarity.
Vitamin D
Beyond bone health, a key modulator of immune function and mood.
Organ & Digestive Function
Your liver, kidneys, and digestive organs work around the clock to process nutrients and clear waste. This panel gives us a comprehensive view of how efficiently those systems are running.
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
A foundational check of liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes, and blood sugar: 14 components, each reviewed against its own reference range.
GGT
A liver enzyme that's especially sensitive to early liver stress and detoxification burden.
Iron, Total
Circulating iron available for your body to use.
TIBC
Shows how much of your blood's iron-carrying capacity is being used.
Lipase
A pancreatic enzyme that helps assess pancreatic and digestive health.
Amylase
A digestive enzyme from the pancreas and salivary glands.
Uric Acid
A metabolic byproduct linked to joint health, kidney function, and metabolic syndrome risk.
Complete Blood Count
A full evaluation of your red cells, white cells, and platelets, offering insight into immune health, oxygen delivery, and overall vitality.
CBC with Differential
Evaluates red blood cells, white blood cell types, and platelets to assess immune function, oxygen-carrying capacity, and overall blood health.
We read every value against functional optimal ranges and your own history, then explain what each one means for the plan.
