The &you Labs Blood Panel: What It Covers and Why

Updated August 6, 2026

We built the &you Labs panel to answer one question. What is the most useful blood draw an adult can take? It should help you understand your long-term health.

That question rules out two extremes. A standard yearly physical exam is often too narrow. It skips markers that shift first when health starts to slip. On the other end, a huge panel with over 100 markers can pile on tests with weak evidence behind them.

A &you Labs panel sits in the middle. This guide explains how the panel is organized. It covers what each health category means and how your results come back to you.

Quick answer

A &you Labs panel is a blood test built to show your whole health picture. The Baseline panel covers 88 health signals. The Advanced panel covers 103. Every result comes back with the standard lab range next to a healthy target range, plus a doctor's written action plan. The panel is organized into ten health categories, from your heart to your hormones.

The ten health categories

The panel groups your results into ten categories. Here is what each one generally looks at.

  1. Heart and vascular. How your heart and blood vessels are doing, using markers like cholesterol.
  2. Weight and metabolism. How your body handles food and fuel, including blood sugar.
  3. Sex hormones. Hormones that affect your energy, mood, and reproductive health.
  4. Thyroid. The gland that controls much of your metabolism.
  5. Inflammation and stress. Signs of ongoing inflammation and stress in your body.
  6. Liver. How well your liver is working.
  7. Kidney and electrolytes. How well your kidneys filter waste, and your mineral balance.
  8. Nutrients. Whether your diet is giving your body what it needs.
  9. Blood and immunity. Your red and white blood cells, and your immune system.
  10. Pancreas. Markers tied to how your pancreas is working.

Why grouping by category helps

A single number rarely tells the whole story. Grouping results by category helps you and your doctor see the full picture. You see your metabolic health as a whole, not just one number at a time.

This also mirrors how health problems actually develop. Diabetes, heart disease, and fatty liver do not show up as one bad number. They show up as a pattern across several markers. This pattern often appears years before you feel any symptoms.

What you get in every report

Every &you Labs report includes:

  1. Your result for each biomarker tested.
  2. The standard lab reference range, which is the range used at most labs in the Philippines.
  3. The healthy target range, a narrower range linked to the lowest long-term health risk.
  4. A doctor's written interpretation and action plan for your results as a whole, not just a list of numbers.

This means you are never handed a printout with no explanation. You get context for what your numbers mean and what to do next.

Advanced options

Beyond the Baseline and Advanced panels, some tests can be added based on your goals or symptoms. These might include specific hormone tests, or a marker tied to a specific concern your doctor flags. Talk to your doctor about whether an add-on makes sense for you.

Frequently asked questions

How much blood is drawn for a full panel?

A standard blood draw fills a small number of tubes, enough to cover every biomarker in your chosen panel. The draw itself only takes a few minutes.

Where is the lab work processed?

Samples go to accredited reference labs for testing.

Do I need to fast?

Yes. Most panels need 8 to 12 hours of water-only fasting before the draw. Water and most regular medicines are fine during that time. Fasting matters most for accurate glucose, insulin, and cholesterol readings.

Is a &you Labs panel a replacement for my annual physical exam?

For most healthy adults, a &you Labs panel covers much of what a standard physical exam measures and adds markers that a standard exam often misses. If your employer, a regulator, or a visa process requires a specific physical exam, follow that process too. You can still take a &you Labs panel in addition. Always talk to your doctor about your results.

What is the difference between the Baseline and Advanced panels?

The Baseline panel covers 88 health signals. The Advanced panel covers 103. Both are organized across the same ten health categories, with the Advanced panel going deeper in some areas.

Does insurance or HMO cover it?

Coverage varies by provider. Most HMOs in the Philippines cover a smaller, standard set of tests and require self-pay for additional markers. Check with your specific provider for current rules.
