What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're concerned about your heart health or have a family history of high cholesterol or heart disease. It's also useful if you've been told your cholesterol is borderline and you want a more detailed breakdown of your fat and cholesterol levels. Many people order this test as part of routine checkups to catch early warning signs before they become serious problems.

What's included in this test?

This panel looks at different types of fats and cholesterol in your blood, each of which plays a different role in your heart health. Some particles, like LDL, can build up in your arteries over time, while others, like HDL, help clear cholesterol away, so understanding the balance between them gives a fuller picture of your cardiovascular risk than a single number alone.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will be available in your account, with each value's normal range explained so you know exactly where you stand. If any levels are outside the healthy range, the report will point you toward simple next steps like adjusting your diet, increasing exercise, or retesting in a few months to track progress. A downloadable standard lab report is also available from your account, and you can use the trends feature to watch your cholesterol and triglyceride levels change over time. If a result is dangerously high, it's important to seek medical care right away.

How can I naturally support healthy cholesterol levels?
Eating more fiber-rich foods like oats, beans, and vegetables can help lower LDL cholesterol naturally. Swapping saturated fats for healthy fats found in olive oil, nuts, and fish also supports better lipid balance. Regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and cutting back on sugar and refined carbs can raise HDL cholesterol and lower triglycerides over time.
When will I get my results?
Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. Once processed, they'll be uploaded directly to your secure online account where you can view and download them.
Who should consider this test?
Adults aged 20 and older are generally recommended to check their cholesterol every 4 to 6 years, and more often if they have risk factors like family history, obesity, diabetes, or high blood pressure. Younger people with a family history of high cholesterol may also want to test earlier. If you've never had your lipid levels checked or it's been several years, this test is a good place to start.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
High cholesterol usually has no obvious symptoms, which is why testing is so important even if you feel fine. Some people may notice warning signs like chest discomfort, fatigue, or shortness of breath during activity, which can point to underlying cardiovascular issues. If you have a family history of heart disease or notice these symptoms, it's a good idea to check your lipid levels.
What does high LDL cholesterol mean?
High LDL cholesterol means there's more of the 'bad' cholesterol in your blood, which can build up in your artery walls and increase your risk of heart attack or stroke over time. This can be caused by diet, lack of exercise, genetics, or other health conditions. Lowering LDL usually involves dietary changes, more physical activity, and in some cases, retesting to track improvement.
What does low HDL cholesterol mean?
Low HDL cholesterol means your body has less of the 'good' cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from your bloodstream. This can raise your risk of heart disease, especially when combined with high LDL or triglycerides. Increasing physical activity, eating healthy fats, and quitting smoking are practical ways to help raise HDL levels naturally.
How often should I retest?
For most healthy adults, retesting every 4 to 6 years is generally sufficient. However, if your results are outside the normal range or you're making lifestyle changes to improve your cholesterol, retesting every 3 to 6 months can help you track your progress and see what's working.

LDL Cholesterol 145 mg/dL
Demo results
Optimal (<100 mg/dL) Borderline High (130-159 mg/dL) High (≥160 mg/dL)
145 mg/dL

What this means

Your LDL cholesterol of 145 mg/dL falls in the borderline high range, meaning there's more 'bad' cholesterol in your blood than ideal. Over time, this can contribute to plaque buildup in your arteries and raise your risk of heart disease. Small, consistent lifestyle changes can help bring this number down.

Recommended actions

Cut back on saturated fats like butter and fatty meats

Add more fiber-rich foods like oats and beans

Increase physical activity to at least 150 minutes a week
