Consumer Direct Laboratory Testing

Would you prefer to order your own laboratory blood testing directly—at discounted rates and without having to go through your doctor? Testing your blood gives you insight into the most important laboratory—your own body.

The professionals at Iron Crucible Health are huge believers in the use of laboratory values to help figure out what is going on with your health and wellbeing. Laboratory blood work can augment DNA-based genetic testing. Maybe you need baseline laboratory values or just a quick check on a specific parameter you have been working on moving the mark with—whatever the reason you have the option of checking values without having to go to a physician to get the labs ordered and processed. 

Iron Crucible Health Coaching is an authorized affiliate for YourLabWork.com and we are glad to be able to share this amazing resource with you!

YourLabWork is a website where you can order your own laboratory tests at 50-80% less than you will pay anywhere else from a reliable and trusted source.

You can have your blood drawn at any Quest Laboratory location in the United States (or any local draw station that works with Quest Labs) and your laboratory results are delivered right to your inbox.

YourLabWork.com was created by Dr. Alan Hopkins–an Emergency Room (ER) physician, anti-aging expert, and consultant to biomarker companies–who saw increasing numbers of patients coming into his ER with cancer, heart attacks, strokes and complications from diabetes … most preventable through food and lifestyle choices … AND at younger and younger ages. Dr. Hopkins started YourLabWork because he believes strongly in the need for access to thorough, complete laboratory tests as part of our proactive and preventative health care, so that we can spot and work to resolve problems BEFORE we become symptomatic.

Dr. Hopkins works directly with professional health coaches to get the message out about preventative care and the importance of laboratory testing.

Our coaches at Iron Crucible Health have completed extensive training with Dr. Hopkins on how to help YOU– clients, family and friends–with respect to your laboratory results. This is SUCH an amazing tool to have in our health and wellness toolbox!

“I feel hopeful now. I have had muscle and joint pain for years. Knowing my thyroid numbers gave me the confidence I needed to ask my physician for help. I had a clear understanding of what was wrong going into my physician visit and was able to work with my practitioner to move the needle on weight loss.”
Ellen, age 55

Please note: Iron Crucible Health professionals are not medical doctors and cannot receive laboratory results from the lab, read or interpret laboratory results, or diagnose or treat any medical condition!


What Iron Crucible Health coaches will do is share with you Dr. Alan Hopkin’s optimal functional ranges for laboratory results, guide you to resources to help you understand your lab values; share with you food, lifestyle, and supplement changes you may want to consider based on your laboratory results, and share anything that raises potential concerns or red flags that you may want to investigate further or discuss with your physician. Iron Crucible Health Coaching offers TWO different options for helping with your laboratory needs.

Single Session Laboratory Review

Once you have ordered your lab work, schedule a 60-minute consultation to help you review your laboratory results. During the session we share some great resources to help you understand your results; discuss food, lifestyle, and supplement changes you may want to consider, as well as flag any potential concerns you may want to investigate further or discuss with your physician.

This consultation will be held in private and confidentially in an online format via Zoom. Prior to the scheduled consultation time, Iron Crucible Health Coaching will send you a Zoom link with clear instructions on how to log onto Zoom.

Iron Crucible Health Coaching cannot receive laboratory results from your doctor, a lab (including YourLabWork.com) or anyone except YOU! Please send any laboratory results to be reviewed to Iron Crucible Health Coaching at least 48 hours prior to our scheduled consultation to allow for sufficient time to review your laboratory results

Single Session Lab Consultation- $ 95.00 (USD)


Laboratory Results Consultation Package

If you prefer having help navigating the process of deciding which laboratory tests will be of benefit to you and assistance ordering them, Iron Crucible Health Coaching offers a laboratory test package which includes two separate consultations. You will be asked to fill out an Intake Form in advance of our first consultation to help us get to know you, your needs, and your health concerns and goals. We will then have a 60- minute consultation to discuss your needs and the laboratory tests which you may want to consider to help further your goals.

Following the first consultation, you order the laboratory tests you choose through YourLabWork.com. Upon receipt of your laboratory results (sent to you via email–usually within 7-10 days of your lab draw), you send them on to coach@ironcruciblehealth.com. When we receive your results, a Iron Crucible Health coach will send you a link to schedule the second 60-90 minute consultation. This consultation is to help you review and understand your laboratory results; discuss food, lifestyle, or supplement changes you may want to consider, and to flag any potential concerns you may want to investigate further or discuss with your physician.

This service can be utilized from anywhere in the world and includes 30 days of email support!


Lab Consultation Package- $ 250.00 (USD)

“The lab panel test was enlightening. I though as long as I was physically fit I was fine. Through the test I learned what biomarkers meant. The information empowered me with the knowledge to make the changes I needed. I began to focus my protocol and I actually enjoy it.”
