Order online for $159, walk into any of 2,000+ Labcorp locations for a blood draw and body measurements — no doctor's visit needed. Five cardiometabolic numbers in one visit — ApoB, hs-CRP, HbA1c, blood pressure, and BMI — with results in 1–2 days and practical next steps for each.
The short version
$159, one walk-in visit, results in 1–2 days
The Thrive 5 Health Test ($159) bundles five cardiometabolic numbers into one visit — ApoB, hs-CRP, and HbA1c from a single blood draw, plus blood pressure and BMI measured on site — with personalized guidance for each result. At list price, the three blood tests cost more bought separately than the panel, and the panel adds the two measurements on top. A snapshot, not a diagnosis: an abnormal number is a reason to talk to a clinician, not a verdict.

What the five numbers actually measure
ApoB (apolipoprotein B) counts the particles that carry cholesterol into artery walls — a more direct read on atherogenic particle number than LDL cholesterol alone, which is a calculated estimate of the cholesterol inside those particles. hs-CRP measures C-reactive protein at high sensitivity: a liver-made marker of low-grade, systemic inflammation, which is associated with cardiovascular risk. HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over roughly the past 8 to 12 weeks — the standard screen for prediabetes and diabetes progression. Blood pressure is the familiar two-number reading, and BMI is height and weight reduced to one index. BMI is the weakest of the five: it does not measure body fat, and muscle mass, age, and sex all move it, so treat it as a rough flag, not a body-composition result.
Why these five together — and what the bundle cannot do
The idea is a cardiometabolic snapshot in one visit: a particle-count marker (ApoB) instead of a calculated LDL, an inflammation marker (hs-CRP) that lipid panels miss, a blood-sugar average (HbA1c), and the two cheapest vitals (blood pressure, BMI) measured on site. Each number covers a different axis, so together they catch problems a single test would miss — normal cholesterol with high ApoB, normal glucose with rising inflammation. The honest limit is the same as any snapshot: five numbers are not a diagnosis. An elevated ApoB does not mean heart disease, a high hs-CRP does not say where the inflammation is, and an HbA1c in the prediabetes range needs confirmation and a clinician conversation, not a supplement order. The test is a starting point for questions, not an answer.
What comes with the results: guidance and Microsteps
The results arrive with personalized guidance and recommended Thrive Microsteps — small, science-backed actions across food, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection, tailored to your numbers. A high ApoB points at different steps than a high HbA1c, and the guidance is the reason this panel exists instead of three separate blood tests. Read the framing plainly: the program’s own note says these resources are designed for general wellbeing support and are not medical advice, clinical recommendations, or a substitute for a qualified healthcare provider. The microsteps are habits to try, not a treatment plan — anything abnormal still belongs in a clinician conversation.
Who should consider it — and who should skip it
This panel fits generally healthy adults who want a baseline cardiometabolic picture — one visit, five numbers, some guidance on what to do next. It is the wrong purchase for people who already have a known condition to manage: if you have diagnosed heart disease, diabetes, or an inflammatory condition, your testing should run through your clinician, who can order the right markers and read them against your history. The test must be taken by the purchaser, and it is available to adults 18 to 100. If you are buying it because a single number worries you — your cholesterol, say — the individual test is cheaper and more direct; the bundle earns its keep when you want all five.
Abnormal results land in your portal with guidance, not with a doctor. A high ApoB, a prediabetes-range HbA1c, or a high blood pressure reading deserves a clinician visit — the panel tells you something is worth looking at, not what to do about it.
How walk-in Thrive 5 testing works
You order the test online, then visit a patient service center for a standard venous blood draw plus body measurements — no doctor’s order, no appointment, and no insurance needed. When scheduling, select Wellness with Body Measurements as your service, so the blood pressure and BMI measurements are part of the visit. Results typically post to a secure portal 1 to 2 days after your sample arrives at the lab; the personalized guidance becomes available once all components — blood test and measurements — are finalized. HSA/FSA accepted. No special preparation is required for the sample collection.
Common questions
Do I need to fast before a Thrive 5 test?
No special preparation is listed for this test — order online and walk in for the draw and measurements. If your clinician has told you to fast for a different test, follow their instructions, not this page.
Is this a home test kit?
No. This is an in-person visit: a blood draw at a patient service center plus blood pressure and BMI measurements taken on site. Your results arrive through a secure online portal, typically 1 to 2 days after your sample reaches the lab.
How long do results take?
Typically 1 to 2 days from when your sample arrives at the lab. Because your blood-test and measurement results may become available at different times, the personalized guidance is available once all components of the test have been finalized.
What are Thrive Microsteps?
Small, science-backed actions — a short walk after meals, a consistent bedtime, a stress reset — across food, movement, sleep, stress management, and connection, recommended based on your results. They are general wellbeing support, not medical advice, and not a substitute for guidance from a qualified healthcare provider.
Can this test diagnose heart disease or diabetes?
No. It is a snapshot of five risk-related numbers, not a diagnosis. An elevated ApoB, a high hs-CRP, or an HbA1c in the prediabetes range is a reason to talk to a clinician and get confirmatory testing — the panel tells you something is worth looking at, not what it is.
