Your long-term health starts with a strong foundation. The Foundational Wellness Home Test Kit is designed to give you a clear, essential overview of your core health markers—helping you detect early risks and maintain optimal wellbeing.

This targeted panel measures hsCRP, HbA1c, LDL, TSH, and Vitamin D, offering key insights into inflammation, blood sugar control, cardiovascular health, thyroid function, and nutrient status.

 

What Is a Foundational Wellness Test?

A Foundational Wellness Test focuses on the most important biomarkers that influence your overall health. These markers act as early indicators of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, thyroid disorders, and nutrient deficiencies.

By evaluating these core systems together, this test provides a reliable baseline for understanding your health and making informed decisions.

 

What Does This Home Test Measure?

1. hsCRP (High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein)

hsCRP is a sensitive marker of systemic inflammation.

  • High hsCRP: Indicates increased inflammation and a higher risk of chronic diseases.
  • Low hsCRP: Reflects lower inflammation and better overall health

Learn more from the American Heart Association.

 

2. HbA1c (Glycated Hemoglobin)

HbA1c measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2–3 months.

  • High HbA1c: Indicates poor glucose control or increased risk of diabetes
  • Normal HbA1c: Suggests stable blood sugar levels

According to the CDC, HbA1c is a key diagnostic marker for diabetes.

 

3. LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein)

LDL is known as “bad” cholesterol and plays a major role in cardiovascular risk.

  • High LDL: Increases risk of plaque buildup, heart disease, and stroke
  • Optimal LDL: Supports heart health and circulation

 

4. TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)

TSH regulates thyroid function, which controls metabolism, energy levels, and hormonal balance.

  • High TSH: May indicate hypothyroidism
  • Low TSH: May indicate hyperthyroidism

 

5. Vitamin D

Vitamin D is essential for immune function, bone health, and overall vitality.

  • Low Vitamin D: Linked to fatigue, weakened immunity, and long-term health risks.
  • Optimal Vitamin D: Supports strong immunity and overall well-being

Learn more from the National Institutes of Health.
