Before the Blood Test:
Your blood test requisition form should have been emailed to you. It is usually attached to the bottom of your invoice after your consult.
Bring this form with you to the lab on your test day.
Ulta Labs uses Quest Diagnostics for blood draws. Your requisition form will specify the correct lab.
Schedule your appointment online to avoid long wait times: Quest Appointment Scheduling.
When booking your lab, confirm that it performs "Health & Wellness Screens"—this will be indicated during scheduling.
Instructions for Thyroid Blood Tests (on Supplemental Support):
Take your Thyro Balance or thyroid hormone first thing in the morning.
Wait 30 minutes before eating.
Schedule your blood draw for 2–3 hours after taking your thyroid support.
Example: If you take Thyro Balance at 7:00 AM, schedule the blood draw between 9:00–10:00 AM.
This timing helps assess peak thyroid hormone levels accurately.
Instructions for All Other Blood Tests (Non-Thyroid):
You must fast for 8–12 hours before the test (no food after 8:00 PM the night before).
Complete the blood draw first thing in the morning, especially if you have blood sugar concerns.
No supplements or hormones should be taken before your test unless otherwise instructed on your protocol sheet.
Water is allowed and encouraged to prevent dehydration.
Day of the Test:
Bring your lab requisition form (check your emailed invoice for the attachment).
Drink water beforehand.
For thyroid testing only, you may eat after taking your thyroid support (wait 30 minutes, then eat).
After the Blood Draw:
Results are typically available within 3–7 business days.
Ask the lab to email you a copy of your results.
