Are the tests included with Levels Labs the same tests ordered by other doctors?
FAQ:
Are the tests included with Levels Labs the same tests ordered by other doctors?
Answer:
The short answer is yes—the labs that you get as a part of Levels Labs are the same ones that would be ordered by a doctor’s office, and a licensed clinician will authorize every lab order.
The deeper answer is that most people receive only a handful of standard lab tests during their annual physical—often limited to a few biomarkers that mainstream medicine has agreed upon, like cholesterol and fasting glucose. While these markers are important, they provide just a narrow glimpse into your overall health.
Patients are often left with little to no guidance around results unless a marker is far out of range and already at or near a disease state. By then, reversing the course—especially through lifestyle changes—is more challenging.
At Levels, we believe in being proactive and empowering you with knowledge about your body before a health problem arises. That’s why our lab panels go beyond traditional tests, offering a broader, deeper look at your health.
