I'm Dr. Alan Hopkins, the CEO of YourLabWork.com and an assistant clinical professor at one of the leading medical schools in the nation.
I have an incredible opportunity that I want to share with you today. But first, a question…
If I could provide you with the education and tools that would help you transform your life and the life of people you serve...would you be interested in learning more?
If yes, keep reading...because the world needs more people like you.
As a wellness warrior, you’re well aware of some alarming statistics, such as…

If yes, keep reading...because the world needs more people like you.
As a wellness warrior, you’re well aware of some alarming statistics, such as…
- More than 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or prediabetes.
- An estimated 20 million Americans have some form of thyroid disease and up to 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition.
- Autoimmune diseases are among the most prevalent diseases in the U.S., affecting between 14.7 and 23.5 million people.
- More than 133 million Americans, or 45 percent of the population, have at least one chronic condition.
And you want to be at the forefront of our nation’s health crisis, fighting the battle to help more people live better.
Maybe you’re already doing an amazing job of it and are realizing incredible results.

But what if I told you there is a way you could do more?
Did you know that advanced lab testing is an often overlooked piece of the wellness puzzle?
Did you know that advanced lab testing is an often overlooked piece of the wellness puzzle?
Advanced lab testing:
- Can alert us to potential health issues long before be have symptoms
- Empowers people to become their own health detectives
- Can identify weaknesses in one’s pursuit of optimal wellness
- Gives a unique opportunity to implement specific lifestyle adjustments to optimize
- And is a really great way for you to track the progress you are making towards wellness goals
Moreover, advanced lab testing unlocks key pieces of biological data that regular insurance-approved lab testing does not.
And often, this important data is the missing link that could help so many overcome significant health issues and reach optimal wellness.

For example, let’s consider the standard insurance-approved lipid test.
Would you believe me if I told you that, in about 50% of the cases I’ve seen as an ER doctor, those patients who’ve ended up having a heart attack had “normal” results on these cholesterol tests?
Here’s why.
A basic lipid panel only gives you insight into whether your LDL levels are elevated.
It fails to tell you two key things:

Here’s why.
A basic lipid panel only gives you insight into whether your LDL levels are elevated.
It fails to tell you two key things:
1. The type of LDL cholesterol molecules you have (small, medium, large)
2. And whether you have the genetic and very dangerous LDL cholesterol particle, LP(a) which, when elevated, can put a person at a serious risk for heart attack or stroke
2. And whether you have the genetic and very dangerous LDL cholesterol particle, LP(a) which, when elevated, can put a person at a serious risk for heart attack or stroke
Let’s assume that I have a patient who comes to me with the results of a basic lipid panel. His LDL is at 106 (optimal range is under 100).
I tell him he’s in good shape, but that he may want to cut back on the carbs to lower his levels a bit.
He goes on with his day, not realizing that although his LDL levels are fine:
I tell him he’s in good shape, but that he may want to cut back on the carbs to lower his levels a bit.
He goes on with his day, not realizing that although his LDL levels are fine:
1. He actually has elevated levels of LDL small (very dense and dangerous)
2. And he also has LP(a)
2. And he also has LP(a)
A few months later, he suffers a heart attack that could have been avoided had he had more thorough testing done.
That’s the power of advanced lab testing.
That’s the power of advanced lab testing.
Out of the 1.2 million heart attacks in the US, 120K are thought to be due to elevated LP(a) as the only risk factor.
The trainer for NBC’s Biggest Loser had a heart attack at age 51, despite being in, what most would deem, the best shape of his life. When tested, it was found that he had significantly elevated levels of LP(a).

In the medical community, our philosophy is “See one, do one, teach one.”
If you were learning how to do a spinal tap, you’d watch an expert do it, do it yourself and then teach another person to do it.
I believe the same should hold true when it comes to lab testing.
If you want to gain expertise in advanced lab testing, you must learn from an expert (in this case, me), experience the lab testing process yourself by ordering and learning from your own labs, and then teach their clients how to do this for themselves.
This core principle is why I created the Lab Masterclass.

Module 1: Cholesterol
Module 1: Cholesterol
(16 Lessons)
Remember when avoiding high cholesterol was all the rage? When physicians were telling everyone to eat low-fat diets so we could lower cholesterol?
Well, while it's true that nutrition can lower our bad cholesterol by as much as 30%, the way we produce and store cholesterol is largely genetic.
Traditionally, we have used the fasting lipid panel to measure cholesterol. Now that technology has advanced, we are now able to measure cholesterol molecules in a much different way.
The results of which give us a more accurate reflection of how to identify and treat those who might be at risk for vascular aging.
This is important because nearly 50% of patients with an acute coronary syndrome or myocardial infarction showed normal plasma values of cholesterol, LDL and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL).

Module 2: Inflammation
Module 2: Inflammation
(9 Lessons)
It is now thought that inflammation is at the core of every chronic disease.
One biomarker, in particular, called high sensitivity-CRP has proven to be a remarkable predictor of risk.
With increasing levels of CRP, we see an increased risk of developing metabolic disturbance, heart disease, autoimmune disease, and even cancer.
Detecting the presence of chronic inflammation in otherwise asymptomatic and apparently healthy people has enormous benefits.

Module 5: Metabolism
Module 5: Metabolism
(10 Lessons)
Did you know that there are more diabetics now than ever before?
There are 29 million Type 2 diabetics in the US and 86 million pre-diabetics in the US.
The worst part is that 90% of people don’t know they have prediabetes because they have no symptoms.

This test measures TSH, free T3, free T4, thyroid peroxidase antibodies, cortisol, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol, progesterone, total testosterone, free testosterone, bioavailable testosterone, and sex hormone binding globulin.
Why this panel is important:
Why this panel is important:
- According to the American Thyroid Association, 20 million Americans suffer from some form of thyroid disease. Up to 60 percent of those with thyroid disease are unaware of their condition. Our labs will unlock this data.
- You’ll get a comprehensive picture of your hormone health, including a measure of the proteins that bind to your hormones.
- You’ll learn which, if any, hormones are out of balance. Abnormal hormone levels can negatively affect every cell and system in your body.
- We’ll measure your cortisol, which is an important steroid hormone that regulates numerous systems including your response to infection and inflammation, blood sugar, and bone metabolism.
Why this panel is important:
Why this panel is important:
- The measurement of fasting insulin will give you insight into how well your metabolism is working.
- High fasting insulin is an under-diagnosed condition that can lead to weight gain and ultimately, diabetes.
- This panel also evaluates your liver, kidney, electrolytes and blood sugars. All are important components of a healthy metabolic system.
Metabolism
Metabolism
This test measures fasting insulin, fasting glucose, Hemoglobin A1c, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (liver and kidney function, electrolytes and protein stores), red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Cholesterol
Cholesterol
This test measures Triglycerides, Total Cholesterol, High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL), Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio, Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL), LDL Particle Number, LDL Small and Medium, LDL Peak Size, LDL Pattern, Lipoprotein (a) and HDL Large.
Why this panel is important:
Why this panel is important:
- This is an advanced cholesterol screening that I highly recommend everyone has done at least once (especially if you have heart disease or stroke in your family).
- We screen for the genetic risk of Lipoprotein A which is the most dangerous LDL-cholesterol (bad cholesterol) marker we can measure that has been shown to accelerate vascular aging.
- This test can also reveal the type of bad cholesterol you carry. Is it the smaller, denser type (called Pattern B), or is it the more favorable, larger, and buoyant LDL cholesterol (called Pattern A)? Pattern B is found universally in people who have sugar problems.
- Get insight into whether you have the best subtypes of good cholesterol – the ones that are the most efficient at removing all the bad cholesterol in our blood vessels.
Why this panel is important:
Why this panel is important:
- High-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) is one of the major markers of inflammation.
- Researchers now believe that inflammation is at the root cause of many diseases.
- People that have high levels of inflammation for a period of years are at a higher risk for cancer, heart disease, stroke, and autoimmune diseases.
- Creatinine kinase is a breakdown product of muscle and when elevated, may pose a serious health concern.

Why this panel is important:
Why this panel is important:
- Nearly 70% of people are deficient in Vitamin D and evidence suggests an optimal Vitamin D level may lower the incidence of cancer, autoimmune disease, depression, and blood pressure.
- If your Vitamin D level is in excess of 100, you may be more likely to develop kidney stones
- Vitamin B12 is an especially important vitamin for maintaining healthy nerve cells and it helps in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material.
- Vitamin B12 works closely with vitamin B9, also called folate or folic acid, to help make red blood cells and to help iron work better in the body.
- Low levels of B12 can cause a range of symptoms including fatigue, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nervousness, numbness, or tingling sensation in the fingers and toes. It may also cause elevated levels of homocysteine, neurological symptoms, depression, and is associated with pernicious anemia.
- Severe deficiency of B12 causes nerve damage.

Kristi is one of our health coach partners who took advantage of our Lab Masterclass for Health Coaches.
She invested in the program because, like our other health coaches, she wanted to explore and optimize her own health and learn from her own lab tests before helping her clients navigate their labs.
That choice proved to be one of the better decisions she’s made for both her health and business. Here’s why.

That choice proved to be one of the better decisions she’s made for both her health and business. Here’s why.
After Receiving Her Lab Results Back, Kristi Found Out That She Has Lp(A), The Most Dangerous LDL-Cholesterol (Bad Cholesterol) Marker We Can Measure.
After Receiving Her Lab Results Back, Kristi Found Out That She Has Lp(A), The Most Dangerous LDL-Cholesterol (Bad Cholesterol) Marker We Can Measure.
Extensive studies have identified Lp(a) as a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease and stroke.
It’s also an inherited genetic pattern, meaning that if a parent has it, there’s a 50% chance they will pass it onto their children. Kristi also found out that despite her healthy lifestyle, she was low in two vital nutrients, Vitamin D and Magnesium. Armed with this important data, she was able to make certain lifestyle adjustments to improve her levels and minimize any potential issues.
“I hadn’t had any lab work in several years,” Kristi said. “So I was thrilled to be able to get the full transformation panel through YourLabwork.com and have access to all of Dr. Alan’s training on the lab tests.”
“After getting my test results back, I learned I have Lp(a). Thankfully all of my other risk factors are quite low, but it’s good to know because it’s even more reason to pay close attention to my food and lifestyle choices. I have also added some additional supplements, based on Dr. Alan’s suggested protocol for Lp(a), to further reduce my risk.”
As if this isn’t amazing enough, Kristi has added labs as a resource in her business and is able to earn over $100 per hour simply by helping her clients navigate labs and empowering them to become advocates for their own health.

Kristi Said That The Choice To Partner With YourLabwork.Com Was The Perfect One For Her Health Coaching Business And Well Worth The Investment.
“I had some lab training through my health coaching certifications, but felt that I could benefit from having a more in-depth understanding of labs and specifically optimal functional ranges—which most conventional doctors do not provide their patients or even look at.”
She said that the training from Dr. Alan has allowed her to confidently help her clients understand lab tests and prepare them to discuss their lab results with their integrative physician.
“My goal is to empower my clients to change their own health and future. When they see concrete numbers from a lab it is a powerful motivator for making changes.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Lab Masterclass for Health Coaches?
This is a program I created to give more health and wellness leaders the opportunity to partner with a leader in the advanced lab testing industry and make a bigger difference in the lives of more clients without having to take a 6-month lab program. With our program, you can learn how to provide your clients with this resource in a way that keeps you completely within your scope of practice and allows you to help your clients get to the root of their health issues. It also gives you the unique opportunity to dig into and optimize your health, experience the direct lab testing process firsthand and learn from your own lab tests at a fraction of the cost (the 60 lab tests you'll get retail for $1,750 and are included with this offer). I firmly believe that the Lab Masterclass allows you to confidently recommend this resource in your business and that your clients will be blown away with the resources you will be able to provide them with to engage their physician on a higher level. This is exactly what this program is designed to accomplish.
How will the Lab Masterclass benefit my health?
I believe that getting a comprehensive lab panel done every few years should be a requirement for every person with a heartbeat! Having access to this data is a POWERFUL way that you can figure out what's really going on inside your body. That's why, with our program, you'll be able to take advantage of our most robust lab panel that includes over 60 lab tests. You'll be tested on the 5 key pillars of aging well - hormones, metabolism, inflammation, cholesterol, and nutrients. You simply register for the program and head over to a local Quest diagnostics draw station for testing. Your results will be delivered to your mailbox within 7-10 days!
How can this program make me a better health coach?
If you want to serve your clients at the highest level, offering this resource is the way to do it. By recommending this resource, you'll set yourself apart in the industry and make a bigger impact on the lives of those who need you.
Isn't this outside of my scope of practice as a health coach?
Not at all! It's very important to us that we keep you within your scope. This is why our training teaches you how to educate your clients to ask the right questions to their physician to achieve a better outcome. Education is power!
I don't feel comfortable if I am paid to direct clients to labs. Is it ethical?
Yes, because you're providing them with a resource in complete transparency. If they don't hear about direct-access lab testing through you, they'll probably hear about it through someone else.
Why would my clients want to purchase lab tests through a direct-access company if they have insurance already?
Due to the rise in insurance costs and deductibles, ordering labs through a direct-access lab testing company like YourLabWork.com is often much more affordable for many consumers. Because we're able to negotiate significantly discounted pricing on lab tests and pass those savings onto consumers, many of our clients actually end of saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars by ordering through us rather than going through their insurance. Not only is it more affordable, it often makes more sense! Insurance will only cover certain lab tests, so physicians don't often order some very important, affordable advanced biomarkers. This, unfortunately, may prevent consumers from getting all of the data they need to make informed decisions about their health. Direct-access lab testing puts the power in the hands of the consumer in a way that was previously unavailable and, as you can tell by the rapid growth of the direct-access lab testing industry, this is the preferred choice amongst many consumers.
How will the Lab Masterclass benefit my business?
The direct-to-consumer lab testing industry is booming and it's just getting started. Every day, more and more consumers are bypassing their physicians and insurance companies to order lab tests and get to the root of their issues. And often, because direct-to-consumer lab testing companies like us are able to negotiate the lowest prices on lab tests, the consumer saves a great deal of money. Unfortunately, there are still SO many people who aren't aware that direct-access lab testing exists so they miss out on the incredible opportunity to optimize their health and often save money doing so. By providing the information and resources contained in the LAB MASTERCLASS to your clients, they will learn the right questions to ask their physicians and you can be an integral part of that process! Not only will you have these added resources to provide your clients, but you will also receive affiliate commissions to help financial support your work.
How does our Lab Masterclass compare to other lab education programs?
This is a great question and one we get asked all of the time. Let's assume we have two health coaches. For the sake of this scenario, we'll name them Amy and Marie. Both of these health coaches want to be able to serve their clients on a deeper level and both realize the important role labs play in allowing them to accomplish this. However, they both pursue different paths. Amy decides to enroll in a certification program that teaches her how to order and interpret labs. She spends a few thousand dollars and invests months of time. Marie decides to take our Lab Masterclass for Health Coaches. She spends $1,999, gets over 60 advanced biomarkers done on herself and completes all 5 educational modules in 2 weeks in her spare time. While Amy is still in her certification program with months upon months left until graduation, Marie has already a YOURLABWORK.com affiliate, sharing this direct access resource with her clients and offering a physician prep package as a service in her health coaching business, earning over $100 per hour preparing questions for her client to ask a provider based on her lab data. And while Amy might have to worry about potential changes in federal regulations and staying within her scope of practice in the future as the result of ordering and interpreting labs, Marie feels safe and confident and is in no way worried about changes in regulations. Marie knows that she's simply a source of education and empowerment for her clients. She can use her knowledge of labs to help her clients transform on a deeper level like she always desired, but she's able to do so in a way that keeps her within her boundaries as a health coach. This is the biggest difference between our program and others.If you want to be more like Amy, then the other programs might be the best fit for you. But if you want to be educated, confident and SAFE like Marie, the Lab Masterclass for Health Coaches is your best bet.
Will I become certified after this program?
After you complete the 5 modules, you will have the opportunity to take our exam and be granted a certification of completion in Advanced Biomarker Testing (ABT). We have had providers contact us asking to work with health coaches who have completed our training. How exciting is that!
