Lab Path
Ignite provides a deeper starting point than a typical annual blood test by analyzing over 50 biomarkers across metabolism, inflammation, nutrient status, organ health, oxidative stress, and thyroid screening. This helps uncover early patterns that may impact energy, metabolic health, and long-term wellness.
Most annual physicals include only a few basic labs designed to detect serious disease. Ignite looks deeper by analyzing over 50 biomarkers that help reveal early patterns affecting metabolism, inflammation, nutrient levels, and overall health.
| Regular Annual Blood Test | Ignite Functional Blood Test |
|---|---|
| Checks basic blood sugar | Looks deeper at blood sugar and insulin |
| Basic cholesterol test | Deeper heart and cholesterol markers |
| Very limited vitamin testing | Tests important vitamins and minerals |
| Usually no inflammation markers | Tests for hidden inflammation |
| Does not test oxidative stress | Tests antioxidants like glutathione |
| Basic thyroid screening | Thyroid screening with TSH |
Upon results, you'll receive:
Clear explanation of each biomarker—what it means, where you stand, and what's optimal
Specific recommendations for nutrition, supplements, lifestyle, and stress management
Personalized recommendations based on your results, starting immediately
24/7 chat with functional medicine practitioners for questions and guidance

| Ignite | Elevate | Thrive |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline metabolic testing | Advanced metabolic + thyroid insight | Complete metabolic + hormone analysis |
| TSH thyroid screening | Advanced thyroid testing | Advanced thyroid + hormone analysis |
| Basic nutrient markers | Identifies nutrient gaps | Nutrient + hormone optimization |
| Baseline health snapshot | Deeper metabolic evaluation | Most comprehensive health analysis |
Ignite establishes your baseline by evaluating metabolism, inflammation, nutrient levels, organ health, and thyroid screening.
Elevate builds on Ignite by adding advanced thyroid testing to identify metabolic slowdowns and deeper metabolic patterns.
Thrive builds on Elevate by adding a complete hormone panel, providing the most comprehensive view of metabolic and hormonal health.
Ignite is the ideal starting point for foundational health insight. It evaluates inflammation, metabolic health, nutrients, detox capacity, and thyroid screening. If you want deeper hormone or thyroid analysis, Elevate or Thrive may be a better fit.
The blood draw typically takes 10–15 minutes at a LabCorp location. Walk-ins are welcome, or you can schedule an appointment online.
Yes. You can upgrade anytime, and your Ignite purchase will be credited toward the upgrade.
Yes. Please fast for 8–12 hours before your blood draw for accurate glucose, lipid, and fasting insulin measurements.
Your data is 100% private and secure, encrypted end-to-end. Only you and authorized practitioners can access your results.
If you decide to upgrade to Elevate or Thrive before providing your sample at the lab, we can easily update your order and apply your Ignite purchase toward the upgraded panel. Once the lab sample has been collected, the test cannot be changed.
