I
A standing physician relationship
Read by the same physician at regular intervals within continuity care, not delivered as a one-time report.
Lifecycle Labs
Longitudinal biomarkers, read within continuity.
Advanced biomarker reviews used within ongoing continuity care — read every three to four months to follow physiology, hormones, metabolism, inflammation, and long-term trajectory over time. Part of longitudinal physician oversight, not a stand-alone entry pathway.
The premise
A trajectory, not a verdict.
A single set of labs is a photograph. A series of labs, read by the same physician at regular intervals, becomes a portrait.
Lifecycle Labs are advanced biomarker reviews used within ongoing continuity care — comprehensive panels covering inflammation, metabolism, thyroid, iron, hormones, lipids, and micronutrients, read every three to four months by Dr. King. They are part of longitudinal physician oversight, not a stand-alone screening.
Three commitments
What Lifecycle Labs is — and isn’t.
II
Orientation, not optimization
We are not chasing biomarkers down a leaderboard. We are reading them in the context of your life, your season, your body.
III
A reference range as question
Normal is the middle of a curve drawn from a population that may have nothing to do with you. We use ranges as a place to start asking, not as an answer.
What we measure
A comprehensive panel, read in plain language.
The panel is intentionally broad. The interpretation is intentionally narrow — focused on the four or five patterns that matter for you, in this stretch of care.
Anything irrelevant is removed. Anything urgent is added. The panel below is a starting point, not a checklist.
- Metabolic terrain
- Fasting glucose · Insulin · HbA1c · Lipid panel with particle size · Triglyceride-to-HDL ratio · ApoB
- Inflammation & immune
- hs-CRP · Homocysteine · Ferritin · White cell differential · ESR when indicated
- Thyroid & adrenal
- TSH · Free T3 · Free T4 · Reverse T3 · Thyroid antibodies · Morning cortisol
- Iron & minerals
- Iron panel · Magnesium (RBC) · Zinc · Copper · Vitamin D · B12 · Folate
- Hormones, as relevant
- Sex hormones · DHEA-S · SHBG · Cycle-timed when needed · DUTCH for full metabolism, separately
- Liver & kidney
- Comprehensive metabolic panel · GGT · eGFR · Urinalysis
Not optimization. Orientation.
Not a one-time screening. A continuous reading.
A standing physician relationship within continuity care.
These are not slogans. They are the three things Lifecycle Labs is committed to. A lab result by itself can frighten you, or flatter you, or do nothing. A lab result read every few months by a physician who has been watching — within an active continuity relationship — can do something different. It can tell you where you are.
How to access
Within ongoing continuity care.
$325 / panel + phlebotomist fee (typically ~$40, if applicable)
Lifecycle Labs are accessed within Clinical Continuity ($213/month (≈ $7/day)). Established patients receive them every three to four months as part of longitudinal physician oversight. New patients begin with a complimentary introductory conversation; the next step, when appropriate, is the Initial Physician Consultation + Systems Review ($377, includes follow-up interpretation visit; testing billed separately).
