Blood Test Panel
Understanding your baseline health markers can give you a clearer picture of how your body is functioning and a starting point to measure change against over time.
The Men's Baseline Health Check is a comprehensive blood test covering 43 biomarkers across key areas of men's health, including metabolic function, cholesterol and cardiovascular markers, blood health and iron stores, inflammation, immune health, and liver and kidney function.
Blood biomarkers provide measurable insight into how different systems within the body are working. These markers can show patterns related to energy, metabolic health, iron status and inflammation.
This test offers a broad overview of core health markers. It suits men who haven't had recent bloodwork and want a baseline they can track.
Men’s Baseline Health Check
This panel looks at ten areas of health using 43 blood biomarkers.
Metabolic Health
These markers help assess how the body regulates blood sugar and responds to insulin.
- Glucose
- HbA1c
- HOMA-IR score (insulin resistance)
Cholesterol and Cardiovascular Health
These markers help assess lipid balance and heart health.
- Total cholesterol
- HDL cholesterol
- LDL cholesterol
- Non-HDL cholesterol
- Triglycerides
- Cholesterol ratio
Blood Health and Anaemia
A full blood count looks at the cells that carry oxygen and help your blood clot.
- Haemoglobin and haematocrit
- Red blood cell count
- Red cell indices (MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW)
- Platelet count
Iron Stores
- Ferritin
Immune System
White blood cells give insight into immune activity.
- White blood cell count
- Neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils
Inflammation
- High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)
Liver Health
These markers help assess how well the liver is functioning.
- ALT, AST, ALP and GGT
- Bilirubin
- Albumin, globulin and total protein
Kidney and Urinary Function
These markers help assess kidney function and electrolyte balance.
- Creatinine, urea and eGFR
- Sodium, potassium, chloride and bicarbonate
Biological Age
- PhenoAge, an estimate of how your body is ageing compared with your actual age
Note: This panel does not include testosterone or PSA. Both can be added on request. Please email hello@thefeelgoodsociety.com.au for a personalised quote.
This analysis may provide insight into:
- Blood sugar regulation and insulin resistance patterns
- Cholesterol and cardiovascular markers
- Iron stores and blood health
- Inflammatory patterns
- Liver and kidney function
- Immune cell patterns
Understanding these markers can help guide personalised strategies to support your long-term health and wellbeing.
This test may suit men who:
- Want a baseline overview of their health markers
- Haven't had a blood test in the past year or more
- Experience fatigue, low energy or changes in weight
- Have a family history of heart or metabolic concerns
- Are interested in preventative health testing
- Want to track health markers over time
Once your laboratory results are available, you will be required to book a results consultation to review your report.
During this session, your results are interpreted within a clinical context and translated into personalised health strategies.
Your consultation may include discussion around:
- Nutritional strategies based on your results
- Lifestyle factors influencing metabolic and heart health
- Targeted supplementation where appropriate
- Whether any results should be followed up with your GP
To ensure accurate results, please follow these preparation guidelines:
• Fast for 8–12 hours prior to the blood test (water is usually permitted)
• Avoid alcohol or heavy exercise the day before testing where possible
• Continue usual medications unless advised otherwise by your practitioner
• Attend the designated pathology collection centre for blood sample collectionYour results report provides a detailed overview of your key health biomarkers.
The report typically highlights:
- Blood sugar and insulin resistance markers
- Cholesterol and cardiovascular markers
- Blood count and iron stores
- Inflammation and immune indicators
- Liver and kidney function markers
- Your biological age estimate
Reviewing these results within a clinical consultation helps identify patterns that may be influencing your health and supports a plan that is personal to you.
Many people take supplements without truly understanding what their body needs. While some nutrients can be helpful, taking supplements without proper assessment may mean addressing the wrong problem or missing important underlying factors.
Functional testing allows us to move beyond guesswork and instead use objective data to guide personalised health strategies.
Testing can help identify:
• Nutrient deficiencies or imbalances
• Environmental exposures that may impact health
• Microbial imbalances within the gut
• Genetic variations that influence metabolism and cellular processes
• Biological patterns that may be contributing to symptomsRather than taking a generalised approach, testing provides information that allows recommendations to be tailored to your individual physiology.
This helps ensure that nutritional strategies, supplementation and lifestyle interventions are targeted, appropriate and aligned with your specific health needs.
For this reason, all testing offered through the clinic is reviewed within a clinical consultation, where results are interpreted and translated into practical, personalised recommendations.
Functional health testing can provide valuable insights into how the body is functioning. However, interpreting these results correctly requires clinical context.
Laboratory reports often present large amounts of technical data, and results may fall within reference ranges while still indicating patterns that are relevant to your health.
Working with a practitioner ensures that your results are reviewed in relation to your:
• Symptoms and health history
• Current diet and lifestyle factors
• Medication or supplement use
• Environmental exposures
• Overall health goalsRather than looking at individual markers in isolation, a practitioner assesses patterns across multiple systems to better understand what may be influencing your health.
During your results consultation, findings from your test are translated into clear and practical recommendations, which may include targeted nutrition strategies, lifestyle adjustments and appropriate supplementation where required.
This personalised approach helps ensure that testing leads to meaningful, actionable changes that support long-term health outcomes.
