Standard Basic Health Lab Panel
Check in on your overall health status with these key routine tests.This blood panel includes a collection of screenings commonly ordered at an annual physical to evaluate your general health. It measures the essentials including blood sugar, calcium, electrolytes, lipid levels, blood count and liver and kidney function. It may also be used to screen for health conditions, such as hyperlipidemia.
How to Prepare:
Fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8-12 hours is required.
Thyroid/Endocrine Lab Testing in Sandy, UT
Changes in your weight, energy, mood, or temperature can often be traced back to your thyroid. At Nervana Medical, our thyroid/endocrine lab panel is designed to assess how well your thyroid is functioning and identify imbalances that may affect your overall health.
This comprehensive panel, administered and reviewed by licensed, board-certified healthcare providers, measures key thyroid hormones and antibodies to help detect both overactive and underactive thyroid conditions, with reflex testing included at no additional cost when needed.
Understanding Thyroid Function
The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located at the front of your neck, but it plays a powerful role in your body. Thyroid function is regulated by the pituitary gland, which produces thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) and releases it into the bloodstream. TSH signals the thyroid to produce thyroid hormones T3 and T4, which control how your body uses energy.
Proper thyroid function influences many essential systems, including:
- Body temperature regulation
- Heart rate and breathing
- Skin and muscle function
- Weight gain or loss
- Brain development and cognitive function
- Cholesterol levels
- Menstrual cycles
- Nervous system health
When thyroid hormone levels are too high or too low, even subtle imbalances can impact how you feel day to day.
Noticeable changes in your metabolism (eg, weight, temperature, and energy) may be an indication of abnormal levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in your blood. This thyroid function test measures the TSH levels in your blood to help identify these abnormalities. High TSH levels may indicate an overactive thyroid (ie, hyperthyroidism), while low TSH levels may suggest an underactive thyroid (ie, hypothyroidism). In either case, T4 reflex testing will be performed at no additional cost to help identify a possible thyroid disorder.
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck. Thyroid function is controlled by the pituitary gland, which produces TSH and releases it into the bloodstream. TSH stimulates the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones (T3 and T4). TSH will also tell the body to make or release thyroid hormones. This process determines how quickly your body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls other important functions, such as: body temperature, heart rate, breathing, skin moisture, muscle contraction, weight gain or loss, brain development, cholesterol levels, menstruation, and nervous system function.
Thyroid disorders can affect any system of your body and treatment will depend on the specific thyroid condition. An undiagnosed thyroid disorder may put you at risk for cardiovascular diseases, osteoporosis, infertility, and other serious conditions; most thyroid conditions can be managed with medication.
How to Prepare:
Certain supplements and medications can interfere with your test results. We recommend being off supplements/vitamins for 1 week to ensure accurate results. We recommend taking your medication after your blood is tested, preferably in the morning.
Is this test right for me?
This thyroid function test may be right for you if any of the following are true:
- You have a risk factor of thyroid disease:
- Family history
- Older age (over 50)
- Female
- Recent pregnancy
- History of thyroid surgery
- Radiation treatment for past thyroid
- Taking medication high in iodine
- Diagnosed with an autoimmune disease
- You are experiencing signs or symptoms of thyroid disease (see Signs & symptoms section below)
Signs & symptoms
Symptoms of thyroid disorders can be mild, moderate, or severe and often resemble other medical conditions. You may consider getting a thyroid function test if you’re experiencing the following symptoms:
Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) symptoms can include:
- Weight gain
- Fatigue
- Increased sensitivity to cold
- Thinning hair
- Enlarged thyroid gland (goiter)
- Muscle aches and pains
- Joint pain and stiffness
- Elevated cholesterol levels
- Constipation
- Depression
- Problems with memory
- Slower than normal heart rate
- Dry skin
- Muscle weakness
- Facial puffiness
- Hoarseness
Hyperthyroid (overactive thyroid) symptoms can include:
- Increased appetite
- Irregular heartbeat
- Palpitations—a fluttering or pounding heartbeat
- Unintentional weight loss
- More frequent bowel movements
- Anxiety or nervousness
- Sweating
Autoimmune Screening Panel
Signs and symptoms of autoimmune diseases can vary from mild to severe, depending on the cause. Consider discussing your risk factors for autoimmune diseases with your healthcare provider if you’re experiencing any of the following signs or symptoms.
- Inflammation (redness, heat, swelling and pain) in one or more parts of your body
- Tired all of the time
- Swollen glands
- Stiff, painful joints
- Weak or achy muscles
- Abdominal pain/digestive problems
- No appetite
- Rashes, sores, dry/scaly skin
- Fevers
- Breathing troubles/shortness of breath
An ANA Screen Immunofluorescence Assay (IFA) is done first to look for antinuclear autoantibodies in human cells.
- If the ANA Screen IFA is positive, testing will occur to look for dsDNA, Sm/RNP, RNP, Sm, and Chromatin antibodies. If any of those five antibodies are positive, the cascade stops, and the results are reported.
- If all five of those antibodies are negative, testing will continue and look for SSA, SSB, Scl-70, and Jo-1 antibodies. If any of those four antibodies are positive, the cascade stops, and the results are reported.
- If all four of those antibodies are negative, testing will continue and look for Ribosomal P and Centromere B.
Please note, after the initial ANA Screen by IFA, testing will stop when the first positive antibody result(s) in a group are found. It is possible that antibodies in subsequent groups are also positive, but will not be tested, or reported.
*A negative ANA does not completely rule out autoimmune illness but does make it much less likely. This panel should be combined with a Standard Basic Health Panel if basic labs have not been obtained yet.
How to Prepare:
No special preparation is required.
Iron, TIBC & Ferritin Panel
This iron test panel measures your iron levels, total iron-binding capacity (TIBC), and ferritin, which help support a number of vital functions in your body. Iron is an important nutrient needed to form hemoglobin, the substance in red blood cells that carries oxygen from your lungs throughout your body for energy. TIBC is a measurement of how well your blood attaches itself to iron to move it around your body. Ferritin is a protein in the blood that contains iron and helps you understand how much iron your body is storing. Left unchecked, abnormal iron levels may lead to certain health issues (eg, anemia, hemochromatosis). If your iron results are higher or lower than normal, you and your healthcare provider can work together to determine the next steps.
This test is right for you if you’re experiencing any of the following signs or symptoms:
Iron deficiency (low levels of iron):
- Pounding sound in ears
- Pale or yellow skin color
- Restless legs syndrome (RLS)
- An intense craving to chew and eat ice, eat non-food items, or both (pica)
- Pale or sore tongue
- Depression
- Frequent infections
- Apathy
- Sluggishness
- Hair loss
- Spoon-shaped or brittle nails
- Extreme fatigue
- Weakness
- Lack of energy
- Headaches
- Foggy thinking
- Poor memory
- Dizziness
- Lightheadedness
- Fainting
- Heart flutters
- Shortness of breath
- Cold hands or feet
- Chest pain
- Rapid heartbeat
Iron overload (high levels of iron):
- Joint pain
- Abdominal pain
- High blood sugar levels or diabetes
- Darkening of the skin
- Weakness
- Loss of sex drive
- Impotence
- Heart failure
- Depression
- Extreme fatigue
- Pain in the knuckles of your pointer and middle finger (“iron fist”)
- Chronic fatigue
- Memory fog
- Heart flutters
- Irregular heartbeat
- Elevated liver enzymes
In many cases, the earliest signs or symptoms of abnormal iron levels may go unnoticed or be dismissed as tiredness, weakness, and poor concentration. Without treatment, symptoms of an iron imbalance may worsen as the condition progresses, potentially affecting your overall quality of life.
How to Prepare:
Morning sample collection is preferred. Fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8-12 hours is required.
Female Hormone Panel (Basic)
Hormones play a critical role in energy, mood, metabolism, sleep, weight regulation, libido, and overall well-being.These labs help us identify imbalances, confirm deficiencies or excesses, and establish a clear baseline before starting or adjusting any hormone therapy. By understanding how your body is functioning at a biochemical level, we can create a hormone optimization plan that is safe, effective, and tailored specifically to your goals in combination with your symptoms.
Preparing for your sample collection
If you have a period during your cycle, it is best to have your sample collected on cycle day 2, 3, or 4 (cycle day 1 is the first day of your period). If you do not get your period, the test can be performed at your convenience. Morning sample collection is preferred. Fasting (not eating or drinking anything except water) for 8-12 hours is required. Certain supplements and medications can interfere with your test results. We recommend stopping vitamins for 1 week prior to drawing (this includes hair supplements as biotin can affect testosterone levels).
*Prior to any treatment, must also have

About the test
This female hormone panel measures follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estradiol, total testosterone, unconjugated DHEA, thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), and prolactin levels in the blood. Your hormone levels are always fluctuating and can affect your menstrual cycle, mood, metabolism, fertility, and sleep and body processes. Imbalances in these hormones may be a reason for irregular periods, problems with ovulation, fertility issues, and other underlying conditions, like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS). When optimizing hormones, we tend to trend values over time.
Signs & symptoms
The following signs and symptoms may indicate a hormone imbalance in women:
- Irregular menstrual cycles
- Weight gain or bloating
- Insomnia or sleep disturbance
- Fatigue
- Infertility
- Acne, dry skin, or other skin issues
- Hot flashes/flushes or night sweats
- Mood changes, like anxiousness or irritability
- Depression
- Headaches
- Muscle weakness and/or joint pain
- Hirsutism (growing face or body hair in unusually large amounts)
- Androgenic alopecia (thinning hair or hair loss)
- Enlarged polycystic ovaries
- Breast tenderness or pain

EBV Panel
Clinical Significance
Epstein-Barr Virus Antibody Panel – Primary infection by EBV causes infectious mononucleosis, usually a self-limiting disease in children and young adults. Infection with EBV can cause lymphoproliferative disorders including tumors. VCA-IgM is typically detectable at clinical presentation, then declines to undetectable levels within a month in young children and within 3 months in other individuals. VCA-IgG is typically detectable at clinical presentation, and persists for life. EBNA IgG typically appears during convalescence (3-4 months after clinical presentation) and remains detectable for life.
Includes
- Epstein-Barr Virus VCA Antibody (IgM), Epstein-Barr Virus VCA Antibody (IgG), Epstein-Barr Virus Nuclear Antigen (EBNA) Antibody (IgG)
An EBV (Epstein–Barr virus) serum test is typically warranted when a patient has persistent, unexplained symptoms suggestive of acute infection, reactivation, or a post-viral syndrome—especially when routine labs are unrevealing.
Common Symptoms That Warrant EBV Serum Testing
1. Persistent or Unexplained Fatigue
- Fatigue lasting >3–4 weeks
- Disproportionate exhaustion not explained by sleep, stress, anemia, or thyroid disease
- Post-viral fatigue that never fully resolved
- “Crash” after minimal physical or mental exertion
2. Recurrent or Prolonged “Mono-like” Symptoms
Especially when classic mononucleosis was never formally diagnosed:
- Severe or lingering sore throat
- Swollen lymph nodes (neck, axilla, groin)
- Low-grade fevers
- Body aches or flu-like malaise
- Headaches
3. Frequent Infections or Immune Dysregulation
- Recurrent upper respiratory infections
- Poor recovery from common illnesses
- History of COVID or other viral illness followed by prolonged symptoms
- Suspected immune suppression or chronic inflammation
EBV can remain latent and reactivate during periods of immune stress.
4. Unexplained Neurocognitive Symptoms
Often described by patients as:
- Brain fog
- Poor concentration
- Memory issues
- Mental fatigue
- Word-finding difficulty
These symptoms are common in EBV reactivation and post-viral syndromes.
5. Unexplained Musculoskeletal Symptoms
- Generalized muscle aches
- Joint pain without inflammatory arthritis
- Exercise intolerance
- Myalgias without elevated CK
6. Autonomic or Systemic Symptoms
- Lightheadedness
- Orthostatic intolerance
- Palpitations
- Temperature dysregulation
- New-onset anxiety or mood changes following illness
7. Abnormal or Borderline Labs With No Clear Cause
EBV testing is often pursued when patients have:
- Elevated inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR)
- Mildly elevated liver enzymes (AST/ALT)
- Lymphocytosis or atypical lymphocytes
- Normal thyroid, iron, and B12 but persistent symptoms
8. Suspected EBV Reactivation
Testing is particularly helpful when symptoms worsen during:
- Chronic stress
- Sleep deprivation
- Hormonal shifts (postpartum, perimenopause)
- Significant illness or surgery
- Intense physical training
- Weight loss or caloric restriction
9. Chronic Conditions Where EBV Is a Known Contributor
EBV testing is often considered in patients with:
- Chronic fatigue–like syndromes
- Fibromyalgia-type symptoms
- Post-viral syndromes (including post-COVID)
- Certain autoimmune conditions (as part of a broader workup)
What EBV Serum Testing Typically Includes
A complete EBV panel usually measures:
- VCA IgM – acute or recent infection
- VCA IgG – past exposure
- EBNA IgG – established infection/latency
- Early Antigen (EA) – possible reactivation
This helps distinguish:
- Acute infection
- Past infection (most adults)
- Possible reactivation
Important Patient Education Point
A positive EBV test alone does not mean EBV is causing symptoms.
Results must be interpreted in the context of symptoms, timing, and other labs.
Over 90% of adults have been exposed to EBV—the clinical question is activity, not exposure.
When EBV Testing Is NOT Helpful
- Isolated fatigue with clear alternative explanation
- Asymptomatic patients
- Routine screening without symptoms
- Interpreting results without clinical correlation
Simple Patient Explanation
We check EBV when someone has lingering fatigue, brain fog, or flu-like symptoms that don’t make sense based on routine labs. It helps us see whether a past virus may be contributing to how you’re feeling now.

What Is a Weight Loss/General Wellness Panel?
A Weight Loss/General Wellness Panel is a comprehensive blood test that evaluates key markers of weight loss and metabolic health. This panel is especially valuable for patients taking GLP-1-RA medications, which work by stimulating insulin release and reducing glucose production in the liver. Regular lab monitoring ensures these powerful medications are helping you safely and effectively.
We love watching our clients’ labs improve with healthy lifestyle changes. This panel evaluates basic wellness markers that should show positive changes as you adopt healthier habits and experience weight improvements.
Benefits of Regular Lab Monitoring
Tracking your labs throughout your weight loss journey offers multiple advantages:
- Confirms your medication is working as intended
- Detects potential side effects before they become serious
- Provides motivation as you see real improvements in your numbers
- Helps your provider adjust your treatment plan for optimal results
- Monitors kidney and liver function to ensure safe medication use
- Tracks improvements in blood sugar, cholesterol, and overall metabolic health
Who Should Get This Panel?
This panel is ideal for anyone on a weight loss journey, particularly those taking GLP-1-RA medications like Semaglutide or Tirzepatide. You’re a good candidate if you’re working to improve your metabolic health, manage type 2 diabetes, or simply want objective data about how your wellness efforts are paying off. Regular monitoring is essential for safe, effective treatment.
What the Panel Includes
Your Weight Loss/General Wellness Panel includes five essential tests to give you a complete health snapshot:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC) – Evaluates overall health and detects disorders
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP) – Checks kidney function, liver function, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance
- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) – Assesses thyroid function, which affects metabolism and weight
- Hemoglobin A1c – Measures average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months
- Lipid Panel – Evaluates cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Healthcare providers may also monitor specific electrolytes, such as potassium and magnesium, as GLP-1 medications can affect electrolyte balance in some patients. Blood pressure and lipid levels are tracked because diabetes and weight-loss medications can affect both.
Pre and Post-Treatment Instructions
For the most accurate results, fast for 8-12 hours before your blood draw (water is okay). Take your regular medications unless your provider instructs otherwise.
After your venipuncture, apply pressure to the site and avoid heavy lifting with that arm for a few hours. You’ll receive a free provider lab consultation and treatment plan with your weight loss program.
