What is the purpose of this test?
The Basic Stress Mastery Blood Test Panel is designed to help understand how stress might be affecting your body by checking various important health markers. It includes a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR, which looks at kidney and liver function, electrolytes, and blood sugar levels. The Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets measures the different types of cells in your blood, which can show how well your immune system is working. The Lipid Panel checks cholesterol levels to assess heart health, while the Thyroid Panel with TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 tests measure thyroid hormone levels, which play a key role in regulating metabolism and energy levels.
This panel also includes the Hemoglobin A1c test, which measures average blood sugar levels over the past few months, helping to identify risks for diabetes. The Cortisol (AM) test measures the level of cortisol, a hormone released in response to stress, which can affect many bodily functions when levels are too high or too low. Lastly, the Fasting Insulin test measures the amount of insulin in your blood after fasting, which helps to assess how well your body manages blood sugar. By analyzing these markers, the panel helps to provide a clearer picture of how stress and lifestyle might be impacting your overall health.
