What is a Blood Test Panel and Why Would I Need It?

What is a Blood Test Panel and Why Would I Need It?

We often think everyone is struggling with the same health problems. It’s easier to ignore the symptoms and blame an excuse for the way we are feeling. For example, Lindsey could have ignored her fatigue and shortness of breath but instead, she listened to what her body was trying to tell her. Health concerns don’t always have clear indicators of what is wrong.

The best way to get the right answers to your health is by running blood test panels. Blood testing is the number one way to test for health concerns. Figuring out which test you need can be difficult, but ProHealth made it easy by combing regular blood tests into a blood panel. Below is a list of ProHealth blood panels, the tests included in each panel, and the health reasons to choose the panel.

ProHealth Blood Panels

General Health Panel $135


The panel is a combination of the most common blood tests that check for vital nutrients levels, hormone imbalances, and infections.

Blood tests included in this panel:

  • Comprehensive Metabolic Profile (CMP): pulls information on 14 chemicals in the body, giving a full picture of the current state of your metabolism (blood sugar, electrolyte levels, and kidney & liver health).
  • Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH): screens for thyroid health, which can also affect many hormone levels, including testosterone.
  • Complete Blood Count (CBC): evaluates overall health and can detect things like anemia, infection, and certain cancers.
  • Estradiol: measures the amount of estradiol (female sex hormone) in your blood, helps determine your estrogen levels, ovarian function, and some aspects of ovulation
