Question 1

What's included in the General Wellness Advanced Panel?

Accepted Answer

14 tests spanning blood, metabolic, cardiovascular, thyroid, iron, and vitamins: [CBC with Differential](/tests/cbc-with-differential), [CMP](/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel), [Lipid Panel](/tests/lipid-panel), [ApoB](/tests/apolipoprotein-b), [A1c](/tests/hemoglobin-a1c), fasting [Insulin](/tests/insulin-fasting), [TSH](/tests/tsh), [Free T3](/tests/free-t3), [Free T4](/tests/free-t4-test), [hs-CRP](/tests/hs-crp), [Ferritin](/tests/ferritin), [Iron & TIBC](/tests/iron-and-tibc), [Vitamin D](/tests/vitamin-d), and [Vitamin B12](/tests/vitamin-b12) — around 45 individual biomarkers in a single draw.

Question 2

How is this different from the Essential Health Panel?

Accepted Answer

[Essential Health](/tests/essential-health-panel) ($189.99, 10 tests) is the recommended annual baseline. The General Wellness Advanced Panel ($209.99, 14 tests) builds on that same foundation and adds [ApoB](/tests/apolipoprotein-b) for advanced cardiovascular risk, [Free T3](/tests/free-t3) for a fuller thyroid picture, and [Vitamin B12](/tests/vitamin-b12). Both already include CMP, CBC, lipids, A1c, fasting insulin, hs-CRP, vitamin D, and full iron status (Ferritin + Iron & TIBC).

Question 3

Why include ApoB in an advanced wellness panel?

Accepted Answer

[ApoB](/tests/apolipoprotein-b) is now considered the single best predictor of heart attack risk by the ESC and many cardiologists — better than LDL alone. Including it means catching cardiovascular risk that a standard lipid panel can miss in roughly 25% of high-risk patients.

Question 4

How much does the General Wellness Advanced Panel cost without insurance?

Accepted Answer

On TestWell, the General Wellness Advanced Panel is $209.99. Ordering the same 14 tests separately would be about $280. Quest Direct lists comparable bundles around $400, and walk-in hospital labs typically bill $800-1300 without insurance.

Question 5

Do I need to fast?

Accepted Answer

Yes — 10-12 hours fasting (water only) for accurate [Lipid Panel](/tests/lipid-panel), [ApoB](/tests/apolipoprotein-b), [A1c](/tests/hemoglobin-a1c), fasting [Insulin](/tests/insulin-fasting), and [CMP](/tests/comprehensive-metabolic-panel) results.

Question 6

Can I get this panel at LabCorp or Quest near me?

Accepted Answer

Yes — all 14 tests are available at both Quest Diagnostics and LabCorp patient service centers nationwide. Order on TestWell, pick your preferred lab, and we'll generate a digital requisition.

Question 7

How often should I order this panel?

Accepted Answer

Annually for adults 35+. Every 6 months if managing multiple conditions or actively making lifestyle interventions.
