What tests are included in a wellness checkup?

You book your “annual” physical.
You show up, get weighed, get your blood pressure checked, maybe pee in a cup, maybe get a blood draw. A few days later, you’re told:

“Everything looks normal.”

You’re still tired. Still bloated. Still not sleeping. Still foggy. Still wondering why you don’t feel normal.

This is why we do things differently at YFS (Your Form Sux).

A functional wellness checkup isn’t about checking a box. It’s about checking in — with how your body’s actually functioning, not just if you’re alive.

🩺 1. Basic Vitals (Yes, We Still Cover the Fundamentals)

• Blood pressure
• Heart rate (resting + recovery)
• Respiratory rate
• Body composition metrics (not just weight or BMI)
• Waist-to-hip ratio
• Grip strength or mobility screening (if applicable)

Why it matters: These markers give us a baseline of your cardiovascular health, metabolic trends, and physical resilience.

🧪 2. Standard Blood Work (With Functional Interpretation)

We test the usual — but we don’t just look for “disease.” We look for dysfunction before it becomes disease.

• Complete Blood Count (CBC)
• Lipid panel (cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides)
• Fasting glucose + insulin
• HbA1c
• Liver enzymes (AST, ALT)
• Kidney function (creatinine, BUN)
• Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride)
• Vitamin D
• Ferritin / Iron panel
• Thyroid markers (TSH, free T3, free T4)
• CRP (inflammation marker)

Why it matters: These numbers help us detect early trends in inflammation, metabolic health, energy production, and hormone balance — even if your doctor says you’re “in range.”

🧬 3. Functional Lab Testing (Add-Ons Based on Symptoms + Goals)

Based on your intake and goals, we may run deeper, precision-targeted labs such as:

✳️ Hormone Panels

• Cortisol rhythm testing (DUTCH or saliva)
• Estrogen, progesterone, testosterone balance
• Adrenal function markers
• Menstrual cycle mapping (for women)

Great for: fatigue, anxiety, low libido, irregular cycles, burnout, perimenopause.

✳️ Gut Health Testing

• Stool tests (GI-MAP, Genova, etc.)
• SIBO breath testing
• Digestive enzyme markers
• Gut inflammation + permeability markers

Great for: bloating, gas, IBS, skin issues, brain fog, autoimmunity, or food reactions.

✳️ Micronutrient Testing

• Intracellular levels of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants
• Omega-3 to Omega-6 ratios
• Methylation panel (B12, folate, homocysteine)

Great for: chronic fatigue, low immunity, slow recovery, mood imbalances.

✳️ Inflammatory + Immune Markers

• hs-CRP
• Homocysteine
• ANA / autoimmune panels (if needed)

Great for: joint pain, chronic pain, brain fog, energy dips, or suspected inflammation.

🧠 4. Nervous System & Stress Resilience Check

• Heart rate variability (HRV) testing
• Cortisol rhythm mapping
• Breathing and recovery rate screening
• Sleep quality metrics (subjective + objective)

Why it matters: You can’t heal, build muscle, lose fat, or focus when your nervous system is fried.

🏋️ 5. Movement + Structural Assessment (YFS Signature)

A wellness checkup isn’t complete without checking how your body moves — not just how it looks on paper.

• Postural screening
• Joint mobility / stability checks
• Core engagement + breathing patterns
• Movement efficiency (walking, squatting, bracing)

Why it matters: Pain, fatigue, inflammation, and even organ dysfunction are often tied to poor form, poor movement, and physical compensation patterns.

You can’t supplement your way out of a body that moves poorly. That’s why Your Form Sux — until we help you fix it.

🔁 6. Follow-Up, Tracking, and Strategy

This isn’t a one-and-done report card. Your YFS plan includes:

• A custom summary of your data
• Lifestyle, movement, nutrition, and supplement strategies
• Re-testing timelines (as needed)
• Progress checkpoints — because results matter

Final Word: A Wellness Checkup Should Help You Thrive — Not Just Survive

If your last “checkup” left you with a shrug and a printout, it’s time for more.

Functional wellness testing at YFS helps you:

• Catch early dysfunction before it becomes disease
• Understand what your body is asking for
• Make changes that are actually based on your biology
• Feel better, move better, and take control of your health
