Annual Wellness Testing Guide: What to Check Each Year (and Why)

Jadyn McRitchie | February 23, 2026

Even when you feel perfectly fine, routine lab testing is one of the best ways to stay proactive. Annual wellness labs help you establish a personal “baseline” (your normal numbers) and spot changes over time—so you can make informed choices about your health.

At Any Lab Test Now®, you can choose from convenient wellness panels and individual tests, with transparent pricing and easy access at your local location.

Step 1: Start With an All-In-One Annual Wellness Panel

If you want a strong yearly overview, these are great “start here” options:

Annual Check-Up Panel

Designed to evaluate overall health and help establish your baseline—tracking things like blood counts, kidney and liver function, electrolytes, cholesterol (including HDL/LDL and triglycerides), and thyroid function.

Comprehensive Female Wellness Panel

A general overview option for women that includes 11 tests and is positioned as a helpful starting point if you’re not sure what to order.

Comprehensive Male Wellness Panel

A robust male-focused wellness panel that includes:

  • CBC with Differential/Platelets
  • Complete Metabolic Panel
  • Cholesterol (Lipid) Panel
  • PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen)
  • Testosterone (Free and Total)
  • TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
  • HbA1C (Hemoglobin A1C)
  • DHEA-S

Step 2: Build Your “Core” Wellness Markers (Common Annual Add-Ons)

If you’re not doing a full panel—or you want to go deeper—these are commonly used wellness standbys available at Any Lab Test Now®:

Step 3: Thyroid Check (Especially if Energy, Weight, or Temperature Feel “Off”)

Step 4: Men’s Wellness (Baseline Tracking)

Step 5: If You’re Focused on Diabetes Prevention or Management

  • Diabetes Maintenance Panel: Includes a CBC, Hemoglobin A1c, and a Diabetic Urinalysis (checks for albumin/protein) to support diabetes monitoring.

Step 6: If Fatigue or Nutrition is a Concern

  • Basic Nutritional Panel: Includes a CBC, CMP, and Iron + Total Iron Binding Capacity—often used to evaluate nutrition status and related concerns.
