Why it's worth knowing

The 6 markers behind metabolic aging

Glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, homocysteine, hsCRP and uric acid measured together. The biomarkers most strongly linked to how fast your body is aging metabolically.

Fasting insulin catches metabolic decline early

Insulin rises a decade before glucose or HbA1c shift. The hidden marker behind insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome that standard tests miss entirely. The first thing serious longevity protocols measure.

HbA1c and glucose for blood sugar control

HbA1c shows your three-month average blood sugar. Fasting glucose shows the current state. Together they reveal whether you are heading toward type 2 diabetes years before symptoms appear.

Homocysteine for cardiovascular and brain aging

Elevated homocysteine is independently linked to heart attack, stroke and dementia. Driven by genetics (MTHFR), B vitamin status and methylation. The marker every longevity protocol monitors.

hsCRP for silent inflammation

High-sensitivity CRP catches the low-grade inflammation behind cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and accelerated aging. Standard CRP misses this. hsCRP is the longevity-grade inflammation marker.

Uric acid for metabolic and cardiovascular stress

Elevated uric acid is linked to gout, fatty liver, hypertension, kidney stones and cardiovascular disease. Often elevated by fructose, excess protein and alcohol. The metabolic stress marker most checks ignore.

FAQs

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you order.

Through your GP, blood tests are typically only covered by Medicare when they're medically warranted. Medicare covers testing because a condition justifies it, not because you want to be proactive or just want to know certain things. You can't just walk in and ask for a panel of biomarkers because you're curious or want a baseline. Your doctor decides which markers get tested, and that list is usually limited.

MediTests is for people who want to take a proactive approach to their health. Deep insights, a personal baseline, and the exact markers you want to track over time. You're in full control. It's your data. No condition required, no waiting room, no eligibility hurdles.

You can get any test you want, with over 300 blood tests across 16 categories. We never refuse a blood test.

You also get your original lab report back in 24 to 48 hours, sent straight to your inbox. No follow-up consult, no appointment to book, and nothing linked to My Health Record or Medicare. Completely private.

Same NATA-accredited labs GPs and hospitals use. Same accuracy. None of the waiting.
No GP consult or telehealth appointment needed. We instantly generate your pathology request form and send it directly to your inbox after checkout.

If you would like one, we also offer private doctor consultations as an optional extra, for people who want private blood test results and a private consult to discuss them.
As simple as it gets:
  1. Choose your test online. Your pathology request form arrives in your inbox instantly.
  2. Walk into any of our 3,300+ collection centres. No appointment needed.
  3. Results delivered securely to your inbox in 24 to 48 hours.
Most tests need no fasting at all. Some markers, like fasting glucose, fasting insulin and certain cholesterol panels, give the most accurate reading after fasting. If your test needs it, it's stated on the product page and on your pathology request form. Water is always fine.
No, never. Nothing is linked to My Health Record or Medicare. Your results are completely private and confidential: they're sent securely to your email, and only you decide who sees them. Many of our customers choose MediTests for exactly this reason, and we take that privacy seriously.
100%. We partner with NATA-accredited Australian laboratories, the same trusted labs used by hospitals and GPs across the country. Every result is processed to the same clinical standards as your local pathology centre.
Never. The price you see includes everything: your pathology request form, testing, processing and results. No surprises.
The most common reason is that something feels off but a standard GP panel hasn't turned anything up. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, low mood, poor recovery, irregular cycles and low libido all have measurable biological causes that a targeted panel can identify.

You don't need symptoms to benefit from testing. Proactive testing establishes your personal baseline, catches risk factors before they cause harm, and helps you understand whether diet, training or lifestyle changes are actually working.
Yes, absolutely. You can build your own panel by choosing from our wide range of individual tests. Whether you're checking one thing or a combination of markers, you're in control of what you get tested for. Visit our Create Your Own Test page to start building.

About this test

Questions about the Longevity Starter Panel

Extra answers specific to this test.

It measures 6 biomarkers: fasting glucose, HbA1c and fasting insulin covering blood sugar and how your body handles it, homocysteine, hs-CRP for low grade inflammation, and uric acid. It is an entry level view of the metabolic and inflammatory markers most commonly tracked for healthspan, rather than a full organ or hormone workup. Fasting insulin is the one rarely included in a routine request, and it is what makes this more than a standard glucose and cholesterol check.

Yes. This test includes fasting glucose and fasting insulin, both of which need a fasting sample to be read accurately. Fast for 10 to 12 hours with water only and aim for a morning collection.

The Starter Panel keeps to 6 metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers. The Longevity Baseline measures 49, adding a full blood count, liver and kidney function, a lipid study, iron studies and key nutrients for a much broader picture of general health. Start here if the metabolic markers are what you want tracked, and take the Baseline if you want organ function and nutrients measured at the same time.

It suits anyone who wants the metabolic and inflammatory markers tracked without paying for a full organ and nutrient workup. If your interest is blood sugar handling, insulin and inflammation specifically, this covers those six and nothing you did not ask for. People who want organ function and nutrients measured at the same time are better served by the Longevity Baseline.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A very positive experience

I booked a blood test because my health insurance did not cover GP consultations. The referral form was emailed to me immediately, I walked into a collection centre the next morning and my results arrived the very next day. One result showed an elevated TSH level and because I was pregnant, a doctor from their Sydney office personally called me to talk it through. It made me feel they genuinely cared.

Could not have been better

I've been in remission from Graves Disease for a few years and suddenly had symptoms again. It was easy to choose and purchase the test I needed at a reasonable price and set up the appointment online for the next day. The lab tech was friendly and put me entirely at ease, and the results were delivered electronically within a day or two. Could not have been better.

Longevity Starter Panel

The Longevity Starter Panel is an entry-level longevity starter panel built around six markers that say more about your long-term health trajectory than a standard check-up. It is designed for anyone beginning to think about healthspan and prevention, at the stage where small changes have the biggest payoff.

It measures fasting glucose, HbA1c and fasting insulin (the early signals of insulin resistance, often years before diabetes), hsCRP (low-grade inflammation linked to ageing and cardiovascular risk), uric acid (metabolic load) and homocysteine (linked to cardiovascular and cognitive health). Together these focus on the metabolic and inflammatory processes that quietly drive ageing.

When you want to go broader, the Longevity Baseline adds organ, nutrient and cardiovascular markers, and the Advanced Longevity Panel goes deeper again. You can also create your own blood test.

The Longevity Starter Panel needs no GP referral and no appointment, so you can get your blood test online and walk into any of 3,300+ collection centres across Australia, with results in 24 to 48 hours. For more on healthy ageing, Healthdirect Australia is a useful reference.

What we test for

  • Glucose: Your fasting blood sugar level. The foundational metabolic marker. Elevated glucose, even slightly, signals your body is struggling to manage carbohydrate metabolism and is the first measurable step toward insulin resistance and eventually type 2 diabetes.
  • HbA1c: A three-month average of your blood sugar levels. Unlike fasting glucose which only reflects the day of the test, HbA1c reveals the overall pattern. It cannot be influenced by what you ate before the test and is one of the most honest single numbers available from a routine blood test.
  • Fasting Insulin: The earliest detectable sign of metabolic dysfunction. Your blood sugar can look completely normal while insulin is already elevated, meaning your cells are becoming resistant to its effects. This is the decade-long silent phase before blood sugar becomes abnormal, and fasting insulin is the only routine test that reveals it at this stage.
  • Homocysteine: An amino acid that damages the walls of blood vessels when elevated. High homocysteine is an independent risk factor for heart attack, stroke and cognitive decline and is almost always caused by low B vitamins, specifically B6, B12 and folate, making it highly addressable once identified.
  • hs-CRP (High-Sensitivity CRP): A measure of low-grade systemic inflammation. Chronic low-grade inflammation is one of the most well-established drivers of accelerated ageing, cardiovascular disease and metabolic dysfunction. hs-CRP can be elevated without any obvious symptoms and is one of the key markers used in longevity medicine to assess biological age.
  • Uric Acid: A metabolic waste product that rises with excess fructose, alcohol and protein intake. Elevated uric acid is independently linked to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, gout and kidney stress. It is a reliable early marker of metabolic dysfunction and one that most standard health checks do not include.

Reasons to get this test

  • The 6 markers behind metabolic aging Glucose, HbA1c, fasting insulin, homocysteine, hsCRP and uric acid measured together. The biomarkers most strongly linked to how fast your body is aging metabolically.
  • Fasting insulin catches metabolic decline early Insulin rises a decade before glucose or HbA1c shift. The hidden marker behind insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome that standard tests miss entirely. The first thing serious longevity protocols measure.
  • HbA1c and glucose for blood sugar control HbA1c shows your three-month average blood sugar. Fasting glucose shows the current state. Together they reveal whether you are heading toward type 2 diabetes years before symptoms appear.
  • Homocysteine for cardiovascular and brain aging Elevated homocysteine is independently linked to heart attack, stroke and dementia. Driven by genetics (MTHFR), B vitamin status and methylation. The marker every longevity protocol monitors.
  • hsCRP for silent inflammation High-sensitivity CRP catches the low-grade inflammation behind cardiovascular disease, dementia, cancer and accelerated aging. Standard CRP misses this. hsCRP is the longevity-grade inflammation marker.
  • Uric acid for metabolic and cardiovascular stress Elevated uric acid is linked to gout, fatty liver, hypertension, kidney stones and cardiovascular disease. Often elevated by fructose, excess protein and alcohol. The metabolic stress marker most checks ignore.
