Why a Yearly Physical Blood Test is Not Enough

In the landscape of health management, the traditional annual physical, with its standard blood panel, has long been the cornerstone. However, with the advent of new medical technologies, the door is opening to more frequent and comprehensive monitoring. SiPhox Health’s at-home blood testing service epitomizes this progress, providing a more thorough and frequent insight into personal health that transcends the traditional annual check-up.

During an annual physical, the standard blood tests are used to assess aspects of health such as: the balance of essential minerals and electrolytes, liver and kidney function, blood cell status, and markers like cholesterol and blood sugar levels that indicate risk factors for heart disease and diabetes. While these tests offer a valuable snapshot of one’s overall health, they have limitations in their breadth and the frequency with which they are tested.

Standard yearly blood test versus SiPhox Health

SiPhox Health’s at-home blood tests fill these critical gaps by offering a more expansive range of biomarkers, coupled with the convenience of more regular testing right from your home. Our tests go beyond what’s typically covered in a standard physical, giving a more comprehensive health overview. Additional areas covered by SiPhox Health’s at-home testing include:

• Inflammation Markers: Beyond standard CRP, SiPhox Health tests for hs-CRP, Ferritin, and Homocysteine, providing a more detailed view of inflammation, a key factor in chronic diseases.
• Metabolic Health Indicators: By measuring markers like HbA1c, Insulin, and thyroid function, SiPhox Health provides a broader understanding of metabolic function and associated risks.
• Hormonal Health Assessment: Our panel extends to hormones like Cortisol, DHEA-S, Estradiol, and Testosterone, vital for understanding physiological stress responses, and overall hormonal balance.
• Cardiovascular Health: SiPhox Health goes beyond traditional cholesterol testing with ApoA1 and ApoB measurements, offering a more detailed assessment of lipid-related cardiovascular risk.
