How It Works

The Science of Clarity

From a few drops of blood to a clear answer. A simple at-home test that shows what’s really in your body — measured, not guessed.

From sample to insight in four simple steps

A clear, premium experience — not a complicated medical process.

The Kit

Arrives ready to use.

A complete collection kit reaches your door in discreet packaging — lancets, collection device, instructions and a prepaid return label, all included.

  • Discreet packaging
  • Everything included
  • Prepaid return shipping

The Collection

Five minutes, at home.

A guided finger-prick sample, taken whenever it suits you. No waiting room, no appointment, no travel. Seal the sample in the prepaid mailer and ship it back to Status Health the same day.

  • No clinic visit
  • Guided step by step
  • Done in minutes
  • Ship it back with the printed prepaid return label

The Analysis

Research-grade precision.

Your sample is quantified at a CLIA-certified laboratory by mass spectrometry — the same class of method used in national biomonitoring studies.

  • CLIA-certified lab
  • 40 PFAS compounds
  • Measured in ng/mL

The Results

Numbers you can act on.

Your dashboard turns the chemistry into a score, national benchmarks and a ranked plan — so you know where you stand and what to change first.

  • Your PFAS Load Score
  • Compared to U.S. data
  • A personalized plan

The Difference

Not All Lab Tests Are Equal

What your doctor orders

Standard Lab Panel

  • Cholesterol
  • Blood Sugar
  • Basic Metabolic
  • Generic PDF report

General health markers only — PFAS isn’t on it.

Other PFAS tests

Typical PFAS Panel

  • Only a handful of PFAS — usually fewer than 10
  • A number on a page, with no plan behind it

Tells you a level — not what to do about it.

The precision

Status Health’s technology can find a drop of water in an Olympic swimming pool.

What that means in numbers:

The Prevention Advantage

Catch exposure
when it matters most.

Forever Chemicals build up for years without a single symptom, and no routine blood panel looks for them. Testing shows where you stand today — while the choices you make still change the curve.

00Years Earlier detection
Years 1–5

Invisible accumulation

PFAS build up without symptoms.

The opportunity

Status Health detects

Intervene while reversal is simple.

Year 15+

Symptoms appear

Standard labs finally flag a problem.
