FAQ:

Do I need to fast before my lab appointment?

Answer:

Yes, and preparing for your lab appointment thoughtfully ensures you get the most accurate and actionable results! Here’s how to get ready:

• Fast for 8 hours:
  •  Fasting helps provide the clearest insight into your body’s biomarkers.
  • Eating beforehand may skew certain results.
• Stay well-hydrated:
  •  Drinking water before your appointment can make blood draws easier. We recommend drinking at least 32 oz of water before your appointment if possible.
  •  Proper hydration also supports more accurate urinalysis results.
• Schedule a morning appointment (if possible):
  • Morning tests provide the most accurate readings for hormone levels.

Taking these simple steps is a powerful way to listen to your body and gain the most from your Levels Labs experience!
