Blood Test Panels & Pricing in Sacramento, CA
At Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center, we believe you deserve blood work that actually tells you something useful. Our naturopathic blood panels are evaluated against optimal ranges — not just the broad “normal” ranges of conventional medicine — giving you far greater insight into your true health status. All results are reviewed with you by one of our doctors using our OptimalDX software reporting system. Call (916) 446-2591 to schedule your panel.
FREE 15 Minute ApptWhy Optimal Range Blood Testing Is Different
Standard laboratory reference ranges are built from large population averages — including many people who are far from optimally healthy. That means your results can fall within “normal” even when meaningful imbalances exist. At Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center, Dr. Godby uses OptimalDX software to evaluate your blood results against optimal ranges, producing a detailed, personalized health report that identifies patterns, early warning signs, and opportunities to improve your health before problems become serious.
All panels are performed fasting. We recommend reviewing our Blood Tests: Reference Range vs. Optimal Range page to understand why this distinction matters, and our Important Questions About Blood Tests page for guidance on what to ask and expect.

Frequently Asked Questions About Blood Test Panels & Pricing
What makes Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center’s blood panels different from standard lab work?
The biggest difference is how we interpret results. At Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center, Dr. Godby uses OptimalDX software to evaluate your blood work against optimal health ranges — not just the broad reference ranges used by most labs, which only identify frank disease. This means we can detect meaningful imbalances and trends that standard testing would miss entirely. See our Blood Tests: Reference Range vs. Optimal Range page for a full explanation.
Do I need to fast before my blood test?
Yes. All of our blood panels require fasting — typically for 12 hours before your blood draw. This ensures accurate results for glucose, insulin, lipid markers, and other key metabolic values. Please drink water as normal, but avoid food, coffee, and other beverages. Call (916) 446-2591 for specific fasting instructions for your panel.
What is the difference between the Adult Panel and the Elite Female/Male Panels?
The Adult Panel ($299) is a comprehensive baseline assessment covering metabolic health, thyroid, iron, inflammation, and key vitamins. The Elite Panels ($579) build on this foundation with advanced hormonal markers (DHEA-S, estradiol, testosterone, SHBG), deeper cardiovascular risk factors (homocysteine, fibrinogen, lipoprotein(a), Reverse T3), and additional markers specific to gender. Most patients seeking a thorough health evaluation benefit most from one of the Elite Panels.
What is the Essential Cardiology Panel and who should consider it?
The Essential Cardiology Panel ($399) is our most advanced cardiovascular assessment. It evaluates inflammation markers, detailed lipoprotein particle sizes and numbers, TMAO (a gut-derived cardiovascular risk marker), CoQ10 levels, and ADMA — markers that identify cardiovascular risk with far greater precision than standard cholesterol panels. Anyone with a personal or family history of heart disease, high cholesterol, hypertension, or metabolic syndrome should strongly consider this panel.
How will I receive and review my blood test results?
All results at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center are reviewed personally with you by one of our naturopathic doctors at a follow-up appointment. You’ll receive a detailed OptimalDX software report showing exactly where each marker falls relative to optimal ranges, along with an explanation of what your results mean and a personalized plan to address any imbalances.
Can I get blood testing done at Sacramento Naturopathic Medical Center without being an existing patient?
Yes. New patients are welcome to schedule a consultation and blood draw. We recommend starting with a 15-minute free telephone consultation so our team can help you choose the most appropriate panel for your health concerns and goals. Call (916) 446-2591 to get started or visit our New Patients page.
Are the blood test panels covered by insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan. We recommend contacting our office at (916) 446-2591 to discuss your options. For patients without coverage, our panel pricing is very competitive compared to individual test pricing at major labs, and the depth of analysis and personalized review you receive far exceeds what standard lab work provides.
