In short
Comprehensive metabolic testing is bloodwork that evaluates hormones, thyroid function, blood sugar and insulin, lipids, inflammation and nutrient status. At Best Version of You, results are reviewed one-on-one with Simone Blount, FNP-BC. Labs are billed separately from your visit — most patients use their insurance, and a discounted self-pay rate is available if you do not have coverage.

FAQ
Questions patients ask
Do I need to fast before metabolic labs?+
Yes, for most panels. Fasting insulin, glucose and lipids require roughly 8 to 12 hours without food. Water and prescribed medications are typically fine.
Can I use labs from my primary care provider?+
Often, yes. Results drawn within the last three months that include the required markers can usually be used instead of repeating the draw.
How fast do I get results?+
Most panels return within a few business days. Your review appointment is scheduled once results are in.
What does the review appointment include?+
A walkthrough of each marker, how it relates to your symptoms, what is optimal versus merely in range, and the treatment plan that follows from the findings.
Are labs included in my visit?+
No. Labs are billed separately by the lab, not by us. Most patients run them through their insurance; if you are uninsured or prefer not to use coverage, a discounted self-pay panel is available. We will discuss cost before anything is ordered.
How often should labs be rechecked?+
Usually within the first three months of starting therapy, then at intervals your provider sets based on your treatment and stability.
