What the General Health Panel Measures
Get a comprehensive read on everyday health: lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), blood sugar (HbA1c, fasting glucose), thyroid (TSH ± Free T3/Free T4 if included), and liver/kidney markers (ALT, AST, ALP, creatinine, eGFR, BUN). See the full picture—not just one number.
How to Use Your Results
Turn numbers into action. Your report highlights ranges and flags changes, with simple guidance for nutrition, activity, sleep, and retesting (every 3–6 months when making changes; 6–12 months for routine check-ins). Export a clean PDF to share with your clinician and track trends over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s included, how to collect, when you’ll see results, and how to use them.
What does this panel measure?
An integrated read on core wellness markers — lipids (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), glycemic control (HbA1c, fasting glucose), thyroid (TSH ± free T3/free T4 if included), liver enzymes (e.g., ALT, AST, ALP), and kidney indicators (e.g., creatinine, eGFR, BUN) — to reveal patterns you can act on and trend over time.
How is this different from traditional testing?
Boomerang Kits deliver clinical‑grade accuracy with unmatched convenience: one at‑home collection, CLIA‑certified lab analysis, and secure app‑based results. No waiting rooms, no hidden telehealth upsells — just clear, trusted data.
Who benefits most from this panel?
Adults seeking a broad wellness baseline, busy professionals skipping clinic visits, and anyone tracking the impact of training, nutrition, or risk‑factor management.
How do I collect the sample?
At‑home finger‑prick dried blood spot (DBS) using the included lancets and collection card. Follow the insert or in‑app guide; collection takes ~10–15 minutes, plus ~60 minutes drying time before mailing.
How long until I see results?
Typically within 24–48 hours after our laboratory receives your sample, you’ll get a secure notification to view your results in the Boomerang Kits App.
Where do I see my results?
Your results, explanations, and trend tracking live in the Boomerang Kits App with your secure login.
Is my data private?
We protect your data with strict administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Your results are encrypted, HIPAA‑compliant, and visible only to you unless you choose to share.
How often should I test?
Most users repeat every 3–6 months to trend improvements and catch changes early; cadence varies based on goals and clinician guidance.
Do I need to fast?
For best comparability, fast 12 hours (water only) unless your kit/instructions state otherwise.
How do I return my sample?
Use the prepaid return mailer. Drop at any postal location the same day you collect (after the card is fully dry).
What if my sample can’t be processed?
If we can’t process your sample (for example, under‑filled or insufficient), we’ll notify you and send you a complimentary replacement kit.
Is this covered by insurance?
Boomerang Kits are consumer‑initiated and not typically billed to insurance. You may use HSA/FSA funds where eligible. Check with your insurance provider to confirm if your plan allows reimbursement for at‑home laboratory testing.
What other panels complement this one?
Heart Health, Thyroid and Vitamin Panels to create a comprehensive wellness baseline.
Is this a diagnostic test?
No. This is a laboratory screening panel intended for education and wellness. Boomerang Laboratories does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. Always consult a licensed healthcare provider for medical decisions.
