What Is The Optimum Fasting Duration Prior To Routine Physical Checkup?

I have my yearly physical tomorrow and am wondering how long I need to fast to acheive the most accurate results from my Cholesterol, Thyroid, C-Reactive protein, hormone levels, etc. I am a 50 year old woman and had slightly elevated TSH levels last year.
