What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing memory loss, confusion, or changes in thinking and want to check for treatable causes before assuming it's permanent. Many cases of memory decline are actually caused by things like a vitamin deficiency, a thyroid problem, or an organ function issue - conditions that can often improve once identified. This panel helps rule out or confirm these reversible factors.

What's included in this test?

This panel combines several everyday blood measurements that each catch a different reversible cause of memory or thinking problems - blood cell counts to check for anemia or infection, thyroid function to rule out an underactive thyroid, vitamin B12 and folate to catch deficiencies that affect the brain and nerves, and a broader metabolic check covering blood sugar, kidney, and liver function. Together, these help identify treatable issues that can mimic or worsen dementia symptoms.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with each value explained alongside its normal range, so you can see exactly what's in range and what isn't. If something comes back abnormal, the report will point you toward simple next steps, like dietary changes, supplementation, or retesting in a few months, and will flag if a value is severe enough that you should seek medical care right away. You can download a standard lab report from your account at any time, and use the trends feature to track how your levels change if you retest in the future.

How can I naturally support brain and memory health?
Simple habits go a long way: eating a balanced diet rich in B vitamins (leafy greens, eggs, fish), staying physically active, getting consistent sleep, and limiting alcohol can all support healthy brain function. Managing blood sugar and staying well hydrated also help, since both dehydration and blood sugar swings can affect thinking clearly. If your results show a specific deficiency or imbalance, addressing that directly - for example with a B12 supplement - tends to make the biggest difference.
When will I get my results?
Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being collected. Once ready, you'll be able to view and download your full report directly from your account.
Who should consider this test?
This test is a good fit for anyone noticing new or worsening memory issues, confusion, or difficulty concentrating, especially older adults or those with a family member experiencing similar changes. It's also useful for people who want to rule out common, treatable causes before pursuing more extensive evaluation. Caregivers helping someone understand the root of cognitive changes may also find this panel valuable.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common signs include forgetfulness that's new or getting worse, trouble concentrating, confusion, disorientation, unusual fatigue, or noticeable changes in mood or personality. Physical symptoms like unexplained weakness, tingling in the hands or feet, or persistent low energy can also point to some of the reversible causes this panel checks for. If these symptoms are sudden or severe, seek medical care right away.
What is a reversible cause of dementia and why does it matter?
A reversible cause means the memory or thinking problem isn't from permanent brain damage but from something else going on in the body, like a vitamin shortage, hormone imbalance, or organ function issue. This matters because these underlying issues can often be corrected, which may bring real improvement in symptoms. Identifying them early prevents unnecessary worry and opens the door to straightforward treatment.
What does low Vitamin B12 mean?
Low B12 means your body doesn't have enough of this vitamin, which is important for nerve function and red blood cell production. Low levels can cause memory problems, fatigue, tingling in the hands and feet, and mood changes. This is usually addressed with dietary changes or supplements, and levels typically improve within a few months of consistent supplementation.
How often should I retest?
If your results are normal, retesting once a year or if new symptoms appear is generally reasonable. If a deficiency or imbalance was found and you started addressing it, retesting in 2-3 months helps confirm your levels are moving in the right direction. Ongoing symptoms despite normal results may warrant looking into other causes.

What this means

This B12 level is below the normal range, which can contribute to memory problems, fatigue, and nerve-related symptoms like tingling. Low B12 is one of the most common reversible causes of confusion and cognitive changes, especially in older adults.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More advanced tests may take longer due to complexity.
