What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're a busy professional experiencing brain fog, constant fatigue, poor sleep, or feeling chronically inflamed and run down. It helps identify underlying health issues that may be affecting your mental clarity, energy, and overall performance at work. Many entrepreneurs and executives use this panel when their demanding lifestyle is taking a toll on their health and they want concrete answers to optimize their wellness.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, consuming only water during this time. Schedule your appointment in the morning since some markers like iron and cortisol vary throughout the day. Avoid seafood for 48 hours before testing, and if you take high-dose biotin supplements, stop them at least 72 hours prior. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before collection.

What's included in this test?

Hs CRP Sex Hormone Binding Globulin T3, Free T4, Free, Direct Dialysis Cortisol, Total Dhea Sulfate Estradiol Ferritin Hemoglobin A1C Iron, Total Magnesium Mercury, Blood TSH

This comprehensive executive wellness panel evaluates your stress response through cortisol levels, hormonal balance via testosterone, estradiol, and DHEA-S, and thyroid function to identify causes of brain fog and fatigue. It also includes metabolic markers like glucose and HbA1c to assess energy regulation, a complete blood count to check for anemia or inflammation, vitamin levels (D, B12, folate) that affect mood and cognition, and cardiovascular risk markers. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of factors affecting your mental performance, physical vitality, and long-term health as a high-performing professional.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels, thyroid function, metabolic markers, and stress indicators mean for your energy, mental clarity, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, stress management techniques, sleep optimization strategies, or supplement suggestions to enhance your performance. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarkers over time using our trends feature to see how your health interventions are working.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results within 7 business days after your blood sample is collected and processed by the lab. If any confirmation testing is needed for specific markers, the turnaround time may be slightly extended. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is perfect for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and high-level executives who maintain demanding schedules and notice their health suffering as a result. It's especially valuable if you're dealing with poor eating habits due to busy schedules, lack of regular exercise, sleep deprivation, or increased anxiety and stress. Anyone who wants to optimize their performance by understanding their baseline health status should consider this comprehensive panel.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent brain fog or difficulty concentrating, chronic fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, feeling constantly inflamed or achy, poor sleep quality, low motivation or mood changes, and decreased physical stamina. You may also notice weight changes despite consistent habits, reduced libido, or feeling like you're running on empty despite trying to maintain healthy habits.
How can I naturally support my energy and reduce brain fog?
Start by prioritizing 7-8 hours of quality sleep in a cool, dark room and establish consistent sleep-wake times. Incorporate stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing, or regular exercise to lower cortisol levels. Focus on nutrient-dense whole foods with adequate protein, healthy fats, and colorful vegetables while limiting processed foods and excess caffeine. Stay well-hydrated and consider taking short breaks throughout your workday to reset mentally.
What is cortisol and why does it matter for executives?
Cortisol is your body's primary stress hormone, released in response to pressure and demands. For busy executives, chronically elevated cortisol from constant stress can lead to weight gain (especially around the midsection), poor sleep, brain fog, weakened immunity, and increased anxiety. Understanding your cortisol levels helps you recognize when stress management interventions are needed to protect your long-term health and cognitive performance.
How often should I retest as a high-performing professional?
For executives optimizing their health, testing every 6-12 months is ideal to track trends and measure the impact of lifestyle interventions. If you're addressing specific issues like low energy or poor sleep, consider retesting every 3-6 months to monitor improvements. Annual testing at minimum provides valuable baseline data to catch potential health issues early before they impact your performance.

What this means

Your cortisol level is elevated above the optimal range, which often happens when you're under chronic stress from demanding work schedules and constant pressure. While elevated cortisol helps you handle short-term stress, prolonged high levels can contribute to brain fog, sleep problems, weight gain around the midsection, and reduced immune function over time.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More advanced tests may take longer due to complexity.
