Men's Health Panel

Eight tests: CMP (metabolic), CBC (blood health), Lipid Panel (cardio), TSH (thyroid), Total Testosterone (hormones), PSA (prostate), Vitamin D, and A1c (diabetes screening). Roughly 35 individual biomarkers covering the major men's health systems in one draw.

Testosterone peaks in the morning. Draw between 7-10 AM and ideally within 2 hours of waking. Two morning draws are recommended to confirm low T before starting any treatment per Endocrine Society guidelines. Pair with this panel's fasting requirements and you'll only need one trip to the lab.

Men's Health Panel is a broad annual checkup — one hormone (testosterone) plus metabolic, cardio, prostate, and thyroid screens. Men's Hormone Panel is a focused hormone workup — Total T + Free T + SHBG + Estradiol + LH + FSH + Prolactin + DHEA-S. Order Men's Health for a general annual; add Men's Hormone if you have specific hormonal symptoms or are considering TRT.

On TestWell, the Men's Health Panel is $139.99. Ordering the same 8 tests separately would be about $180. Quest Direct lists comparable bundles at $310, walk-in hospital labs typically bill $700-1000 for the same biomarkers without insurance.

Routine PSA screening typically starts at 50 (45 with family history or African ancestry, 40 with multiple affected first-degree relatives). For men under that age, the panel still provides a useful baseline — but PSA isn't a screening priority yet. Consider swapping in hs-CRP instead for younger men focused on cardio.

Yes — 9-12 hours of fasting (water only) and morning draw (7-10 AM). Fasting is needed for accurate Lipid Panel, A1c, and CMP. Morning draw is needed for accurate testosterone.

Yes — all eight tests are available at Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp patient service centers nationwide. Order on TestWell, pick whichever lab is most convenient, and we'll generate a digital requisition.

Annually for men 35+. Every 6 months if you're managing multiple chronic conditions or on TRT. Once every 2-3 years for healthy men under 35 with no risk factors.

The detailed one. The panel's testosterone component is our Free & Total Testosterone test, which runs total testosterone by LC-MS/MS at both labs (Quest test 36170, Labcorp 070195) — the CDC-certified reference method, not the screening immunoassay. At Quest, free testosterone is measured by equilibrium dialysis and the total assay reports from 1 to 10,000 ng/dL; at Labcorp, free testosterone is the direct assay. Fast 10–12 hours and book a morning draw for the most accurate reading.

Men's Health Panel results are typically ready in 2–5 business days after your draw at Quest or Labcorp. TestWell emails you the moment they post, and your results dashboard shows each marker against its reference range with a plain-English explanation.

Keto and high-protein diets, smoking and nicotine and alcohol can change a Men's Health Panel result without anything being wrong. Keto and high-protein diets can raise LDL Cholesterol and HDL Cholesterol and 2 more markers on this test and can lower Triglycerides, Sodium and Glucose — recheck with ApoB; discuss cardiovascular risk rather than dismissing the rise as 'diet noise'. Smoking and nicotine can raise RBC and WBC and 2 more markers on this test and can lower HDL Cholesterol and 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D — tell the clinician; a high hematocrit in a smoker is usually smoking, not polycythemia. Alcohol can raise Triglycerides, ALT and MCV and can shift Glucose — no alcohol for 24–72 hours before a lipid panel. Each factor is covered on our physician-reviewed "Before your test" pages; when one applies, the fix is usually to remove it and retest.
