The tests we're talking about here are backed by leading experts like Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Andrew Huberman, but they aren't endorsing Private MD Labs (yet!). We’re simply sharing what they've said about heart health and how these tests can help.

heart health science

Are you sure your cholesterol test is telling the whole story?

  1. 1 Measure the risks standard cholesterol tests usually miss

    Dr. Peter Attia emphasizes that ApoB gives a more accurate picture of heart risk than regular cholesterol levels. It measures the cholesterol particles that actually clog arteries, helping you take action sooner.

  1. 2 A hidden factor that could save your life

    Dr. Andrew Huberman points out that Lipoprotein(a) is a genetic marker most people don’t even know about. Standard tests miss it, but high levels can mean a greater risk of heart attack or stroke.

Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Andrew Huberman aren't endorsing or affiliated with Private MD Labs.

clear data and scientific evidence give you power

You can’t optimize what you don’t measure

    ApoB is the single best predictor of cardiovascular risk, far surpassing LDL cholesterol alone. If you’re serious about understanding your true heart health risk, this is the number you need to know.
    Dr. Peter Attia, MD
    Studies consistently show that ApoB, not LDL-C, is the true driver of atherosclerosis. A 2019 study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology found that individuals with elevated ApoB levels were at substantially higher risk for myocardial infarction compared to those with normal levels, regardless of their LDL cholesterol.
    Journal of the American College of Cardiology (2019)
    Lipoprotein(a) is a genetic marker that goes unnoticed in standard tests, but elevated levels could mean a significantly higher risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attacks. Understanding this number can help you take proactive steps to mitigate risk.
    Dr. Andrew Huberman, PhD
What you’ll get

Apolipoprotein Evaluation

Insights Insights

Your apolipoprotein A1 and apolipoprotein B/a1 ratio are normal. However, your apolipoprotein B is high, indicating an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Research shows that high levels of apolipoprotein B are associated with an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. It's recommended that you make lifestyle changes such as increasing physical activity, losing weight if necessary, and reducing your intake of saturated and trans fats. Your doctor may also prescribe medication to help lower your apolipoprotein B levels.

I was skeptical at first about scheduling labs online but this process was quick and easy. Best thing I liked was how you could custom tailor your labs and see exactly what was being tested and for the price/discounts you can't beat it. Also, the results came back in faster than anticipated.

Brandon L. 1 year ago

I’ve seen others say this is an amazing service, for years. I finally took the chance and purchased testing and it was so easy. I got to pick detailed panels, saved money with a reoccurring test to keep up on my health, and picked a lab all in the process. Results came back crazy fast. I’ll be using them for life - they’re faster than my insurance results! Great service. 10/10

Private MD Labs is a wonderful company to work with. Fair prices on tests and their customer service is very helpful if you have any questions or concerns. I've been using them for years and will continue to do so.

Much love for private md labs. I am an athlete and bodybuilder. I diet hard and train hard so I like to get bloodwork done 4x a year to check my lipids, CBC, and hormone levels. I have not had luck with finding good doctors and health insurance in America is a joke, so I save money by getting my own bloodwork done. I have also taught myself how to read my own bloodwork which is useful knowledge in itself. Having control of my own health is important and I suggest everyone do the same. Be intelligent, work hard, eat healthy and check your bloodwork!

Nick R. 1 year ago

Labs done & returned it less than 24 hours!!! Super simple process & was honestly the best service I’ve received from testing. I cannot recommend them enough.

Amber M. 1 year ago

I am so impressed with my experience! I had 12 tests done and within seconds of paying, I already had my appointment scheduled with an awesome QR code to checkin that I could even add to my Apple wallet. I didn’t expect to get my results so fast! I had several test results before I even woke up the next day! I have already recommended to several friends and will continue to use them regularly because it’s so fast and convenient. Thank you for this awesome service! 👏👏👏👏👏

Great experience from start to finish - love the convenience of picking what tests I want run without having to argue why! Very user friendly and communication was top notch throughout!

Scott K. 1 year ago

Ordered the Men’s Hormone Light. I love that you can book and pay here. Scheduled appt with local lab, for results by the time I woke up next morning. You can download pdf of results too. Love it. Subscriptions and discounts make this so worth it.

Kyle H. 1 year ago

Very straightforward and simple to schedule and select all the bloodwork you need. Will definitely use again in the future.

Cynthia C. 1 year ago

My insurance will send me to different doctors to order blood work depending on the type and specialty. It is very frustrating to go through hoops just for basic thyroid or hormone testing. I am so happy with Private MD Labs. Easy, great pricing, faster results than the lab, courteous. This was an excellent transaction. I especially love the text and email alerts notifying me of appointments and result status
