Understand What’s Happening Inside Your Body
Real change starts with real data.
When your goal is to feel stronger, more focused, or simply more in control of your health, it’s important to monitor how your body is responding. At EDGE, we use ongoing lab work to track internal markers that matter - giving you and your provider the insights needed to make smart, personalized decisions.
This gives you more than peace of mind - it gives you clarity
Why Monitoring Matters
As you progress through any health optimization plan, your body can change in subtle ways - sometimes faster than symptoms show up. Monitoring key biomarkers helps ensure your plan is working as expected, and it allows for early adjustments if something’s off.
It also gives insight into areas that may impact your energy, sleep, recovery, cardiovascular health, or metabolic function.
This is how we move from guesswork to precision.
What Do We Look for?
The specific labs we track depend on your health goals, but common markers include:
- Blood Chemistry & Electrolytes - Offers a snapshot of hydration, kidney health, and metabolic function.
- Hormone Panel (Including Thyroid) - Helps us understand hormone balance and identify any imbalances that may affect sleep, energy, weight, or mood.
- HbA1c - A 3-month average of blood sugar control. Helpful for identifying insulin resistance or blood sugar-related fatigue.
- PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) - A general marker used to assess prostate health, especially in men over 40.
- Lipid Panel - Evaluates cholesterol and cardiovascular markers - important for overall long-term health.
- Vitamin D - Commonly low in men, and often associated with fatigue, immune health, and hormone function.
- Inflammation Markers - Identifies chronic inflammation that could impact recovery, mood, or performance.
And other specific markers and systems like:
- Cardiovascular indicators
- Nutrient levels
- Metabolic health
- Hormonal balance
- Inflammation markers
Every data point we look at plays a role in helping you feel and perform your best. It’s not about chasing numbers-it’s about connecting the dots between how you feel and what your body needs.
Ongoing Labs (Every 3 Months, If Needed)
- Hormone Levels - Checked periodically to see how your levels are trending over time.
- Hematocrit & Hemoglobin (H&H) - Monitors red blood cell concentration - important for oxygen delivery and cardiovascular health.
- Any other labs flagged during your initial panel - If anything abnormal came up in your baseline, we keep an eye on it moving forward.
Symptom-Specific Labs
If you’re experiencing a change in symptoms (positive or negative), we may run additional labs to get a deeper understanding of what’s behind it.
These may be added 6+ weeks into your plan depending on your provider’s assessment.
Why It Works
- Gives clarity on how your body is responding
- Enables personalized decisions - no guesswork
- Supports progress, safety, and long-term optimization
- Builds trust between you and your provider
We’ll walk you through what matters most — so you’re not left guessing what the results mean. But when you understand what’s happening beneath the surface, you’re in a better position to reach your goals.
Let’s map out what your body’s telling us - and what to do about it.
