What is measured

What the panel measures, by area

Cortisol and DHEA-S alongside thyroid and inflammation, the hormone measures that shift under sustained stress.

The 4 biomarkers on your report come from these tests, grouped by what each one looks at.

  • 4biomarkers
  • 4tests
  • 4areas
  • Cortisol

    • Cortisol

    Your main stress hormone. It follows a daily rhythm, highest in the morning and falling through the day.

  • Adrenal hormone

    • DHEA-S

    An adrenal hormone and a precursor the body converts into other sex hormones. It declines steadily with age.

  • Thyroid

    • TSH

    Thyroid stimulating hormone, the signal the pituitary sends to the thyroid. It is the usual first number in a thyroid check.

  • Inflammation

    • hs-CRP

    C-reactive protein, measured by a high-sensitivity method able to read the low levels a standard CRP test cannot resolve. The liver produces it in response to inflammation.

How it works

Three steps from order to results

  1. 1

    Order online

    Choose the plan or a one-time order. For the plan, you review its renewal terms at checkout.

  2. 2

    Get your draw

    Your lab requisition arrives in your account. Walk in to any of 5,000+ partner lab locations, or book ahead with that lab to skip the wait.

  3. 3

    Read your results

    Results are usually ready within a few business days of your draw, though some markers take longer.

Good to know

  • Physician-authorized. A physician in your testing partner's network authorizes the order, so you do not need to see your own doctor first.

  • Fasting. Fast for 8 to 10 hours before your draw where possible. Water and prescribed medication are fine.

  • At the draw. Bring photo ID. The draw itself usually takes under ten minutes from check-in.

  • Getting results. We email you as soon as they are ready, and you sign in to your account to read them.
