What's tested

What does the panel measure?

Eighteen markers that shape how you age, from hormones and metabolism to the vitamins, minerals and organ function behind energy and resilience. All from one fasted blood draw.

A baseline for healthy ageing: this panel looks across your hormones, metabolism, vitamins, minerals and organ function in one visit, the markers that shape how well you age. Fasting gives the most accurate metabolic readings.

Hormones and thyroid

TSH, Free T4, Free T3, Oestrogen, Testosterone (Total), DHEAS, LH, FSH. The thyroid and sex-hormone markers that drive energy, mood, libido and body composition as you age.

Metabolic and heart

HbA1c, Lipogram, CRP. Long-term blood sugar, your full cholesterol breakdown and an inflammation marker, the core of metabolic and heart health.

Vitamins and minerals

Vitamin D, Iron Serum, Ferritin, Magnesium, Zinc. Nutrient status behind energy, immunity, bone health and recovery.

Stress and organ function

Cortisol, U&E + Creatinine. Your stress hormone, plus kidney and electrolyte function.

I cannot recommend Juliette and her team enough, friendly and kind from the get go. Bloods were drawn with minimal discomfort and the labs came back quickly.

Excellent experience at Epicentre. The staff were professional, kind, and took time to explain everything clearly. The facility was clean, booking was easy, and I did not feel rushed.

What this does not do

This is a wide screen of markers linked to healthy ageing. It is a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, not a diagnosis on its own.

  • A single result outside the range is read alongside your history and the rest of the panel, not in isolation.
  • Hormone levels shift with the time of day and, for women, the menstrual cycle; your doctor reads them in context.
  • It does not replace tests your doctor may order for a specific concern.
  • Results are meant to inform a discussion with a registered practitioner.
