BIO Blood Work is a comprehensive lab panel that maps your hormone, metabolic and nutritional baselines before care begins. A single blood draw evaluates markers such as sex hormones, thyroid function, key vitamins and metabolic health, giving your provider an objective starting point. Instead of guessing at the cause of fatigue or weight changes, your plan is built around measured numbers.
The panel is the usual first step for patients starting hormone therapy, medical weight management or a broader wellness program, and it is repeated over time to track progress. At our Merrick practice, your provider walks through each result with you in plain language, explains what it means for your goals and connects the findings to a personalized next step.

Questions About BIO Blood Work
Do I need to fast before BIO Blood Work?
Some markers in the panel, such as glucose and lipids, read most accurately after fasting, so many patients are asked to skip food for several hours beforehand. Water is usually fine. The team will give you specific instructions when you book.
What does the BIO Blood Work panel check?
The panel looks at hormone levels, thyroid function, key vitamins and metabolic markers, with the exact tests chosen to match your goals. Your provider explains which markers are included and why before the draw, so nothing comes as a surprise.
Will I go over my results with a provider?
Yes. Numbers alone can be confusing, so your provider reviews the results with you, explains how they relate to your symptoms and goals, and outlines next steps, whether that is therapy, nutrition changes or further evaluation.
How often should the panel be repeated?
That depends on your plan. Patients on hormone therapy or weight management often repeat labs at set intervals to fine tune care, while others recheck once or twice a year. Your provider sets a schedule that fits your treatment.
What to Expect
Before your draw, the team tells you whether to fast and what time of day to come in, since some hormones vary through the day. At the visit, a staff member reviews your medications, then collects a few small vials of blood from the arm. It takes only a few minutes, and you can eat and resume normal activity right after. Once results return, your provider schedules a review to explain the findings and outline your plan.
