There are easily accessible direct-to-consumer startups in Canada that do this sort of testing.
I did mine a while back with Nia Health. Every marker on the OP’s list was included. You will have to pay out of pocket, but the cost was not unreasonable when i did it.
Thank this looks interesting though I do see it's a very early stage startup (and inexplicably subscription based which appears to just be a naked cash grab).
It was not a subscription when I did it a year or two ago, but I guess the one-off model may not have worked out. I work in this field and the economics of doing something like this with a D2C model in Canada are not great. People are just not used to exchanging money for healthcare.
subscription model makes sense, unfortunately
if you're doing a one-off, it's almost certainly part of a checkup or otherwise ordered by a doctor. any followups will be under their care too
if you're like me, with a longer term health condition that requires periodic measurement, then this actually makes a ton of sense
