What's the difference between Reviv's Comprehensive Health Panel and Function Health or Inside Tracker?
The biggest difference is interpretation. Function Health, Inside Tracker, and similar telehealth platforms deliver results via app with algorithm-driven recommendations or a brief written summary from an anonymous medical reviewer. Reviv includes a 60-minute in-person interpretation consult with Kristen-Anne Thomas, FNP-BC — board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner. You sit down face-to-face, review every biomarker, discuss patterns, and walk out with personalized recommendations. Not an algorithm. Not a 5-minute PDF.
What biomarkers are included in the Comprehensive Health Panel?
Essential ($299) includes: CBC with differential, CMP, lipid panel with ratios, HbA1c, TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Vitamin D 25-OH, Vitamin B12, Folate, Ferritin, hs-CRP — 35+ individual markers. Comprehensive ($499) adds: fasting insulin, homocysteine, ApoB, SHBG, DHEA-S, IGF-1, full sex hormone panel (estradiol, progesterone, testosterone total + free), cortisol, magnesium, and uric acid. Both include the 60-minute interpretation consult.
Does insurance cover this panel?
No — this is a transparent self-pay service. Insurance typically doesn't cover lab work ordered outside of an established disease diagnosis or annual physical. The self-pay price is fixed, no surprise bills. HSA and FSA payment is accepted.
How much does a comprehensive blood panel cost without insurance in Florida?
At Reviv: $299 Essential or $499 Comprehensive — both include lab draw, results, and 60-minute interpretation. Compare to LabCorp's Healthy Aging Panel at $689 (no interpretation), Ulta Lab Tests Longevity Essential at $1,104 (no interpretation), or Function Health membership at $365/year (algorithm interpretation only). Reviv's pricing is mid-market with true in-person human interpretation in Central Florida.
What's the difference between functional ranges and standard lab ranges?
Standard lab ranges (what your doctor uses) are statistical averages of the general population — they tell you if you're sick. Functional ranges are tighter, optimization-focused thresholds — they tell you if you're operating at peak. Example: standard TSH range is 0.4-4.5; functional range is 1.0-2.5. Your labs can be "normal" by standard ranges yet still cause symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, or weight gain. The interpretation consult walks through both views of your results.
Do I need to fast before the blood draw?
Yes — 12 hours of fasting (water only) is required for accurate lipid panel, glucose, insulin, and HbA1c results. Also hold biotin supplements (including hair/skin/nail supplements) for 72 hours prior — biotin can interfere with thyroid and hormone assays. Take morning medications with water unless your provider advises otherwise.
Can these labs screen for low testosterone or perimenopause?
Yes. The Comprehensive Panel includes full sex hormone testing (total and free testosterone, estradiol, progesterone, DHEA-S, SHBG) plus the thyroid and cortisol markers that often present as "low T" or "perimenopause" symptoms but are actually thyroid or stress dysregulation. The interpretation consult sorts out which is which.
Should I get this panel before starting Wegovy or Zepbound?
Strongly recommended. Baseline labs before GLP-1 therapy let us track changes in insulin sensitivity, A1C, lipids, thyroid, and inflammation as you lose weight. They also surface contraindications (pancreatitis history markers, gallbladder enzymes, kidney function). Many patients start the Comprehensive Health Panel → review results → then start the appropriate
GLP-1 protocol — brand-Rx or compounded — based on what the labs reveal.
How does the 60-minute interpretation consult work?
Three to five business days after your blood draw, results return. We schedule your 60-minute in-person consult with Kristen-Anne Thomas, FNP-BC. She walks through every category — hormones, metabolic, inflammation, nutrients, blood/organ function — showing where you fall on both standard and functional ranges. You leave with a written summary and personalized action plan, including any targeted Reviv services that fit your results.
Where do I get my blood drawn?
Right here at Reviv — your draw is done in-office in about 10 minutes, no separate lab visit needed. Samples ship the same day to our CLIA-certified national laboratory partner. Results route directly to Kristen-Anne, who reviews them before your interpretation appointment.
How is this different from Marek Health or similar telehealth lab platforms?
Marek Health and similar platforms require ongoing membership ($299 intake + $450+ panel + $80-200/month coaching, all out-of-state telehealth). Reviv is in-person, one-time, no subscription required. You can repeat quarterly at $199 follow-up if you want, but there's no required ongoing commitment. The interpretation provider is local, board-certified, and the same person every visit.
What happens if my labs come back abnormal?
Depends on the finding. Frank disease markers (e.g., severely elevated A1C, very low thyroid) get a referral to a specialist. Functional imbalances (suboptimal vitamin D, elevated hs-CRP, perimenopause-pattern hormones) get a personalized plan that may include targeted Reviv services like the
B12 + Lipo Membership,
IV therapy, or
medical weight loss with Wegovy/Zepbound. Either way, you leave with clarity, not just a stack of paper.
