Most lab tests only measure what’s happening in your body at a single moment in time. While valuable, these results provide just a snapshot — not the full story. Your health is an ongoing journey, shaped daily by your choices, environment, and genetics.
At Carolina HealthSpan Institute, we’ve been offering comprehensive lab and biomarker testing for years as part of our commitment to proactive, personalized care. While many of our patients are familiar with these tests, we wanted to take a moment to reintroduce them and highlight the ways we’re expanding our testing offerings. With advanced biomarker panels, cutting-edge cancer screening with Episeek, and the NEW addition of TruHealth epigenetic testing, we now provide an even more comprehensive view of your health — helping you make informed choices and take proactive steps toward long-term wellness.
What Are Labs and Biomarkers?
When you visit your doctor, you’ve likely had “labs” drawn — bloodwork that measures things like cholesterol, blood sugar, and vitamin levels. These are examples of biomarkers: measurable indicators that reflect what’s happening inside your body.
Biomarkers can reveal:
- Nutrient deficiencies
- Hormone imbalances
- Inflammation levels
- Disease risk factors
- How well your organs are functioning
Traditional labs are essential, but they only capture a moment-in-time snapshot of your health. That’s where advanced biomarker testing — including epigenetic biomarkers — provides a more complete and predictive view of your wellness and longevity.
Comprehensive Biomarker Testing at Your First Visit
At Carolina HealthSpan Institute, we go beyond routine labs. As part of your New Patient Optimal Wellness Evaluation, we now offer more than 50 biomarker tests — all included in your initial visit.
These biomarkers provide a detailed look at your current health, identifying areas of strength and opportunities for improvement. Once you’ve been seen by a provider, we take a deeper dive into what these results mean for your long-term health, allowing us to create a personalized, proactive care plan designed to help you feel and function at your best.

Advanced Cancer Screening with EPISEEK
The Precision Epigenomics EPISEEK test is a groundbreaking multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test that uses a simple blood draw to screen for over 60 types of cancer. EPISEEK identifies hypermethylated DNA loci, which are areas of DNA commonly altered across many cancers, enabling early and accurate detection — often even before any symptoms appear.
Using advanced epigenomic analysis software, this minimally invasive test evaluates DNA changes in your blood, providing a precise, cost-effective, and accessible alternative to traditional tissue biopsies or imaging. By detecting cancers earlier, EPISEEK gives patients and providers the opportunity to act proactively, improving outcomes and peace of mind.
