The catalog
Core measures are the ones your Kodo Score™ is built from. Essential tests don't change the score, but they confirm what your physician needs to know before writing your plan. When-indicated tests are ordered only when your history or results call for them.
What it showsThe number of cholesterol-carrying particles that can enter artery walls.
Why we test itA more direct read on plaque-building particles than LDL cholesterol alone.
What it showsA largely inherited lipoprotein that raises heart risk.
Why we test itMostly set by your genes, so one measurement can reveal a hidden risk.
What it showsFat carried in the blood after you fast.
Why we test itTracks how your body handles carbohydrate and fat.

What it showsAn ultrasound of your abdominal aorta to check for a bulge (aneurysm).
Why we test itA one-time screen recommended for men 65 to 75 who have ever smoked, and offered selectively to others at risk.
Ordered forMen 65 to 75 who have ever smoked; others at higher risk case by case.
What it showsHow much insulin it takes to keep your fasting blood sugar steady.
Why we test itPaired with glucose, it shows insulin resistance years before blood sugar rises.
What it showsYour blood sugar after an overnight fast.
Why we test itUsed with insulin to estimate insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).
What it showsYour average blood sugar over about three months.
Why we test itShows the longer-term trend that a single glucose reading can miss.
What it showsA waste product of purine breakdown.
Why we test itAdds context for gout and metabolic health.
What it showsA marker of how much insulin your pancreas makes.
Why we test itHelps when insulin and glucose tell different stories.
Ordered forHigh fasting insulin or glucose, or when it matters how much insulin your body makes.
What it showsLow-grade inflammation in the body.
Why we test itPersistent inflammation adds to heart risk. If it is high after an illness, we repeat it.
What it showsAn amino acid that rises when B vitamins run low.
Why we test itLinked to heart and vascular risk, and a clue to B12 or folate status.
What it showsHow well your kidneys filter, estimated from cystatin C.
Why we test itLess affected by muscle mass than the usual creatinine-based estimate.
What it showsA liver enzyme.
Why we test itHigher levels track with liver stress and metabolic risk.
What it showsElectrolytes, kidney function, liver enzymes (AST, ALT, ALP), bilirubin, albumin, calcium and glucose.
Why we test itA broad safety check of kidneys, liver and electrolytes before your plan is written.
What it showsSmall amounts of protein leaking into the urine.
Why we test itAn early sign of kidney and blood vessel stress.
What it showsA dipstick and microscope check of your urine for blood, protein, sugar, infection and crystals.
Why we test itA simple screen for kidney, urinary tract and metabolic problems that often cause no symptoms.
What it showsRed cells, white cells and platelets.
Why we test itChecks for anemia, infection and other blood issues before you build training load.
What it showsYour iron stores.
Why we test itLow iron is common in women and in people who train hard.
What it showsHow much iron is circulating and how much your body can carry.
Why we test itCatches early iron overload or deficiency that ferritin alone can miss.
What it showsHow your thyroid is working.
Why we test itThyroid function affects energy, weight, heart rate and cholesterol.
What it showsYour sex hormone levels.
Why we test itFor men with symptoms or low lean mass, and for women around perimenopause.
Ordered forMidlife symptoms such as low libido, fatigue or menopausal changes, or before starting hormone therapy. Not routine.
What it showsAdrenal and growth-related hormones.
Why we test itOptional context, not every visit.
Ordered forUnexplained fatigue or muscle loss with age, or abnormal results on other hormone tests. Not routine.
What it showsWhether your immune system is targeting your thyroid.
Why we test itFinds autoimmune thyroid disease early, often before thyroid levels change.
Ordered forAbnormal TSH or free T4, or a family history of thyroid disease.
What it showsThe pituitary hormones that drive your ovaries or testes.
Why we test itHelps explain changes in cycles, fertility or testosterone.
Ordered forPerimenopausal symptoms, irregular cycles or fertility questions, and low testosterone in men.
What it showsYour vitamin D stores.
Why we test itLow levels are common and easy to correct.
What it showsA broad panel of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and metabolic markers, including CoQ10, red blood cell magnesium and the omega-3 index.
Why we test itFinds nutrient gaps so supplements are chosen from data, not guesswork.
What it showsB vitamin status.
Why we test itOrdered if homocysteine is high, red cells are large, or intake is low.
Ordered forHigh homocysteine, a plant-based diet, metformin or acid-reducer use, or signs of deficiency.
What it showsAntibodies that point to celiac disease, checked alongside total IgA so the result can be trusted.
Why we test itUntreated celiac disease can quietly cause low iron, low bone density and other deficiencies.

What it showsCalcified plaque in the heart arteries, from a quick, low-dose CT scan with no contrast.
Why we test itOne of the strongest single predictors of future heart events.

Why we test itThese habits shape long-term risk as much as many lab results.
Your exact tests depend on your history, goals and past results. Not everyone needs every test, and some are added only when they would change your plan.
Most blood work is a single local draw, and imaging and fitness tests are arranged near you. Labs and imaging are billed separately.
