Biomarkers tested

Edit Content

Cortisol

Cortisol affects several aspects of your body including regulating your stress response, immune system and inflammation, blood pressure, heart rate, glucose metabolism. Cortisol levels can impact your cardiovascular health, risk for diabetes, immune system, fertility, and even cognition.

Edit Content

Ferritin

Ferritin is a protein that stores iron and delivers it to different tissues in your body. Red blood cells use iron to carry oxygen around your body. Other parts of your body, such as your liver, bone marrow, and muscles, also need iron to function properly.

Edit Content

Testosterone, Total (Males)

Testosterone is a steroid hormone that impacts many areas of men’s health such as sleep, sex drive, bone density, cognition, ability to build muscle, hair growth, and sperm production. Testosterone helps build muscle mass, increases bone density, and improves exercise capacity. Testosterone can be improved by getting more sleep, eating healthy foods, and by exercising regularly.

Edit Content

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone, or TSH, is produced by the pituitary gland and regulates the production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. TSH levels are affected by a number of factors, including stress, diet, and certain medications. An imbalance of TSH levels may indicate an underactive or overactive thyroid, which can cause fatigue and diminish your ability to effectively exercise.

Edit Content

Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA. Metformin is a common and effective treatment for diabetes and pre-diabetes, but may lower your B12 levels. Measuring B12 can help a care provider determine if metformin is an appropriate treatment option for you or if you could benefit from B12 supplements.

Edit Content

Vitamin D

Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium and regulates many other functions in your body, including inflammation, antioxidants, and neuroprotection. Healthy Vitamin D levels are associated with improved mental health, endurance, muscle function, and bone strength. High levels of physical activity in athletes may increase the body’s demand for Vitamin D.

If you want to optimize your athletic performance.

Results from this test can help you tailor your training, coordinate your rest days, optimize your nutrition plan, and more. For example, if you are experiencing high Cortisol levels, you may not be recovering adequately from your workouts. Therefore, you may want to incorporate an additional rest day for optimum recovery.

If you are training and not achieving the results you want.

The Athletic Performance Test can help identify areas where you might be unknowingly held back. For example, Vitamin D is necessary to build muscle. If you are have low Vitamin D levels, you could be putting in the work and not getting the same results as you would if these levels were optimized.

If you are struggling with fatigue or muscle weakness.

Low levels of Vitamin B12 or Vitamin D, thyroid dysfunction, and iron-deficiency anemia can all cause fatigue. Muscle weakness can be caused by Vitamin D deficiency, low testosterone, iron-deficiency anemia, and thyroid dysfunction. All of which are screened in this test.

Frequently Asked Questions

Your blood test is most accurate if you take it fasted, meaning before you have anything to eat or drink (other than water). We recommend taking it first thing in the morning. 

Using the Kit ID number, register your test on behealthyr.com. This number is anonymous in our system but allows us to notify you when your test arrives at the lab and your results are ready. It also ensures the lab is able to connect your results to you. 

Next, take a moment to get your blood flowing. This will help make your sample collection easier. Drink a tall glass of water for hydration, then wash your hands for a least one minute in warm water to improve circulation and blood flow. 

Clean the finger you want to prick with the alcohol wipe. Remove the lancet cap then hold the lancet against the tip of your finger. Press the lancet button to perform the finger prick. Next, hold your pricked finger over the ADX card’s sample collection window. You can gently squeeze your finger to get more droplets (you’ll need about 8 in total to fill the card). You may also perform a “milking” motion, applying gentle pressure on either side of the base of your finger and slowly moving toward the fingertip. 

Once filled, leave your ADX card to dry for at least one hour. Meanwhile, clean up and dispose of the used collection tools by sealing them into a bag and placing them in the garbage. As soon as your sample is dry, place it into the sample bag and then slide it into the prepaid envelope. You’ll want to mail your test the same day, so head to your nearest mailbox and drop it inside.

You will be notified when your sample arrives at the lab and then again when your results are ready to view. 

Testosterone levels vary significantly between males and females. A biological female’s testosterone levels would not show up on this test because they are so comparatively low in relation to a male. 

Females who menstruate are far more likely to experience iron deficiency than men. Iron deficiency in males is rare, but roughly 20% of females younger than 50 years old are iron deficient. In the context of athletic performance, iron deficiency can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. 

Yes. We recommend taking your Athletic Performance Test first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything (other than water, of course!) to ensure accurate results. This includes supplements, so please wait until after your test to take your morning multivitamin or similar. 

This is entirely up to you. If you are working towards a specific goal, such as running a marathon, we recommend testing every three months to monitor your nutritional, training, and recovery needs.

There are a number of options available if you receive an abnormal result. Depending on the biomarker out of range, you may choose to speak with your PCP or book a low-cost, same-day telehealth appointment here. In some cases, your physician may recommend medication or a prescription-strength supplement to help improve your levels. Our pharmacy service can help with that. Alternatively, if you are experiencing a nutrient deficiency such as low Vitamin B12, you may opt to start taking a multivitamin or targeted supplement to improve it. 

Yes. In fact, many of the biomarkers analyzed in this test have effects on a growing fetus. Knowing your levels and monitoring your health can have benefits for both the parent and the baby. 

Yes, there is no reason you cannot take the Athletic Performance Test while on your period. 

No, medications will not interfere with the accuracy of the test. However, your results may reflect the impacts that medication or vitamin supplementation may have on your blood biomarkers. 

No, supplementation will not interfere with the accuracy of the test. However, your results may reflect the impacts that medication or vitamin supplementation may have on your blood biomarkers. 

No, insurance is not required for any of Healthyr’s at-home health tests.

Nope! Everything, from lab fees to the envelope you mail your sample in, is included in the price of your test.
