Muscle Building & Recovery Panel

$325.00

Muscle isn’t just about the gym — it’s built (or lost) by hormones, nutrients, recovery signals, and systemic stress. This panel focuses on the biological levers that drive strength, repair, and resilience. It’s not a diagnosis, but it gives you clarity on whether your anabolic machinery is switched on or if recovery is silently lagging.

Muscle isn’t just about the gym — it’s built (or lost) by hormones, nutrients, recovery signals, and systemic stress. This panel focuses on the biological levers that drive strength, repair, and resilience. It’s not a diagnosis, but it gives you clarity on whether your anabolic machinery is switched on or if recovery is silently lagging.

One Labcorp draw. We measure anabolic hormones, growth and recovery signals, stress balance, and key nutrient cofactors. Together, they provide a practical snapshot of how well your body is primed to build and recover muscle.

What You’ll Learn

  • Hormonal Drivers: Testosterone (free + total with SHBG), estradiol, DHEA-S, IGF-1 — the anabolic engine.

  • Stress & Recovery: Morning cortisol and hs-CRP reveal whether stress and inflammation are holding you back.

  • Metabolic Context: A1c and thyroid panel to check if energy handling and tempo are aligned with your training.

  • Nutrients & Oxygen Supply: Vitamin D, magnesium RBC, and ferritin for repair, strength, and recovery.

  • General Health: CBC for red cell, white cell, and baseline recovery status.
