FAQs
At Areté, excellence isn’t optional — it’s built into every detail. Explore how our process and philosophy work together to deliver your best results.
What does “Areté” mean?
“Areté” (pronounced ahr-eh-tay) is an ancient Greek word meaning excellence through virtue and purpose. It represents the pursuit of one’s highest potential — physically, mentally, and personally. At Areté BioLabs, that principle guides everything we do: helping you achieve optimal performance through your own biology.
What makes Areté BioLabs different from traditional health programs?
Most programs start with opinions and guesswork. We start with your blood. Areté BioLabs uses comprehensive lab testing to map hormones, cardiometabolic risk (lipids, ApoB, glucose, A1C, insulin), inflammation, and key nutrients — then builds a plan specifically for you.
Every recommendation is tied back to your data and translated into clear actions for training, nutrition, recovery, and supplementation. It’s precision, not theory — built for high-performing professionals who want measurable results, not another “one-size-fits-all” program.
What can I expect after completing my bloodwork?
Once your results are in, our team reviews your biomarkers across hormones, cardiometabolic health (lipids, ApoB, glucose, A1C, insulin), thyroid, inflammation, and key nutrients. You’ll receive a clear, visual report showing what’s optimal, what’s off, and why it matters—plus a step-by-step plan for nutrition, lifestyle, and targeted supplementation to get you moving toward your best numbers.
How secure is my personal health data?
All client data is encrypted, stored securely, and used only for analysis and reporting within your profile. We follow HIPAA-compliant handling standards to ensure your privacy is fully protected.
Do I have to go to a lab for testing?
Yes, but we make it simple. After you enroll, Areté BioLabs sends your lab order electronically to a nearby partner lab. You pick a convenient time, walk in for a quick blood draw, and you’re done—no insurance hassle or extra paperwork. Your results are sent straight to us for analysis and your personalized plan.
Are supplements included with my program?
Yes. Every client receives a precision supplement protocol built directly from their lab results and goals. Your formulas are custom-made through our partner lab using:
– NSF GMP–certified, FDA-registered manufacturing
– 3rd-party testing for purity, potency, and heavy metals
– No fillers or junk (no artificial colors, flavors, or sweeteners)
– Options for allergen-friendly, vegetarian, or vegan formulas
You’re not getting off-the-shelf supplements — you’re getting a personalized formula made specifically for your biology.
