General Health & Wellness Tests are blood tests that check common markers of overall health. They are often ordered during a routine physical or to screen for conditions such as anemia, diabetes, or high cholesterol.

What it measures

Lipid Panel — Measures cholesterol and triglycerides to assess heart health.
Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) — Screens for thyroid problems that can affect energy and weight.
Hemoglobin A1c — Shows average blood sugar over the past few months, used to screen for diabetes.

Who it is for

These tests are typically ordered by a primary care clinician during a routine checkup or when you have general symptoms like fatigue or weight changes.
