Beyond pace, power and heart rate
Swim, bike, run, and understand the health signals your training app can’t show you.
Iron stores can fall before hemoglobin does. Ferritin and iron studies add context to oxygen transport, especially with high training volumes, menstrual blood loss or low iron intake.
Ferritin · Iron · TSAT · Hemoglobin
AIS · Iron and athletes ↗Persistently low energy availability can affect reproductive and thyroid function. Hormone results belong beside fueling, symptoms, cycle history and training load, not in isolation.
Thyroid · Sex hormones · Metabolic markers
IOC · 2023 REDs consensus ↗Endurance fitness and long-term health overlap, but they aren’t interchangeable. Cholesterol and metabolic markers help you keep the bigger picture in view.
Lipids · ApoB · HbA1c · Liver markers
Research · Olympic athlete risk ↗Endurance bundles include iron stores and transport. Longevity panels add hemoglobin and hematocrit. These answer related questions; neither panel alone is a complete fatigue assessment.

Fitness doesn’t tell the whole story
Cholesterol and metabolic health deserve attention even when your training is going well. Your results are a starting point for a conversation, not a prediction of your next race.
of 1,058 Olympic athletes in one study had dyslipidemia, an abnormal blood lipid profile. This was an Olympic cohort across sports, not a triathlete-specific estimate.

Medical Advisor · Choose Health
Establish a baseline. Make a targeted change. Track your response. Our approach to testing puts your results in context, so you can have a more informed conversation about your health.
Make your baseline worth comparing
Record the context, follow your kit instructions and aim for comparable conditions when you retest.
In a small study of 15 healthy men, weightlifting raised AST and ALT for at least seven days. Recent exercise matters when a clinician interprets a result; don’t assume an elevated value is harmless.
Pettersson et al. · 2008 study ↗Simple collection. Clear insights.
Choose Health handles the testing. Bring your results and training context to a conversation with your clinician.
Endurance bundles and targeted tests use a DBS finger-prick card. Longevity panels use a Tasso device on your upper arm. Follow the instructions supplied with each kit.
Use your prepaid return packaging to send your sample to the lab. Keep collection details handy so you can put your results in context.
Review your physician-reviewed results in your dashboard. Make a targeted plan with your clinician, then compare future results under similar conditions.
Good questions. Clear answers.
Research provides context for the markers; it does not establish that these specific test kits improve race performance or diagnose a condition.
