Why a Yearly Physical Blood Test Is Not Enough

You mark his physical on the calendar once a year. It’s the routine check-up you hope gives peace of mind. But what if it’s not telling the whole story?

The standard annual blood panel checks for the basics: cholesterol, glucose, red and white blood cell counts, liver and kidney function. It’s useful. It’s familiar. But for men over 40, juggling stress, family, work, workouts, and sometimes unexplained fatigue, weight gain, or mood swings but it’s simply not enough.

HUSBAND was created to fill the gaps that standard care leaves behind. Because real health isn’t about reacting once a year. It’s about tracking what’s happening in his body right now.

What a Standard Physical Misses

Most annual labs offer a narrow snapshot. They can flag obvious issues, but they’re limited in both scope and frequency. They rarely test for:

• Silent inflammation

• Early-stage insulin resistance

• Subclinical hormone imbalances

• Lipoprotein particles (the ones that actually predict heart risk)

And unless he’s symptomatic—or asks for it—those labs are never expanded. That’s a dangerous assumption in a world where most men won’t bring up what’s bothering them until it’s serious.

What HUSBAND Does Differently

HUSBAND's at-home testing kit, powered by SiPhox Health, measures 17 core biomarkers—not just once a year, but whenever it fits your rhythm. It brings deeper lab testing into the home, on your schedule, with zero waiting rooms.

Here’s how we go further than the average annual physical:

• Inflammation: We test hs-CRP, Ferritin, and Homocysteine—not just generic CRP

• Metabolic Health: We include HbA1c, Insulin, Glucose, and Thyroid panels to assess early dysfunction

• Hormones: Testosterone, DHEA-s, Cortisol, Estradiol—not just a total T number, but the whole story

• Heart Risk: We include ApoA1 and ApoB, which are far more predictive than LDL alone

• Optional Add-Ons: Hormone+ and Thyroid+ panels allow for even deeper insight

| This isn’t a replacement for his physical. It’s what should have always come with it. |

Why Frequency Matters

A lot can change in 12 months. Blood sugar can creep up. Cortisol can tank. Testosterone can fall off without warning. Waiting a full year to catch that? It’s like checking your bank balance once in January and hoping the numbers still work in December.

With HUSBAND, you can monitor health trends quarterly—or more often. That means:

• Earlier detection of issues before they escalate

• Faster feedback when trying a new supplement, diet, or medication

• Smarter decisions with more relevant data

What to Expect

When you replace a once-a-year snapshot with regular, deeper insights, you start to:

• Spot problems before they become conditions

• Understand what’s helping—or hurting—his performance

• Adjust sleep, training, and nutrition based on real data

• Reassure him that what he’s doing is actually working

• Help him feel better, faster—and stay there
