Biomarker Testing
See what your blood
already knows
A finger-prick test at your kitchen table, and a call where I turn the numbers into the two or three things worth changing.
Most health advice is generic because nobody has measured you. This starts with 36 markers and the ratios between them.
- No lab visit
- 5-minute finger-prick at home
- Results in 1–2 weeks
- Swiss lab, LC-MS/MS
- 36 markers
- 8 focus areas
- 1–2 weeks to results
- 5 minutes at home
Sound familiar?
Your bloodwork came back fine
So why do you still feel like this?
- You sleep the hours. You still hit a wall mid-afternoon.
- You read the same paragraph three times and still don't have it.
- The session that used to cost you a day now costs you three.
- Your GP ran the standard panel, said it looked normal, and that was the end of it.
- You've been told to sleep more, stress less, and eat clean. You already do all three.
- Something is off. Every test you've had says nothing is.
A different lens
What if your bloodwork answered a different question?
A GP panel measures lipids and glucose, because those predict heart attacks and diabetes. Useful questions, just not the ones behind why you feel flat at four in the afternoon. Standard bloodwork can read perfectly normal while your nutrient status, your fatty-acid balance, and the amino acids you have available quietly cap your energy, your recovery, and your mood. This panel measures those inputs instead. Every one of them moves in response to food, sleep, stress, and targeted supplementation, which is another way of saying every one of them is something we can change.
A GP panel tells you whether you are ill. This tells you what to do on Monday.
Panel overview
What it measures
and why it matters
Nine areas, built to give you a picture you can act on rather than a verdict you can only file away. The ninth, longevity, ships as a separate add-on kit.
Circulation & performance
How well oxygen and nutrients actually reach the muscle doing the work.
Cognitive & mood support
The raw material your brain builds neurotransmitters and cell membranes out of.
Energy metabolism
Whether your cells can turn what you eat into usable energy. The step most eat-clean advice skips.
Inflammation & immunity
Background inflammation you can feel but not name, and what is feeding it.
Muscle growth & recovery
What you have available to repair with after you train.
Cellular function
Membrane integrity and the quiet housekeeping that keeps cells doing their job.
Hormonal balance
Cortisol, and for men testosterone. Whether your body is currently building or breaking down.
Dietary alignment
Where your eating pattern is short, and which foods close the gap.
Longevity
Intracellular minerals and NAD⁺. Markers for how you are ageing, not just how you are today. Ships as a separate add-on kit.
How it works
Five steps. One finger-prick
- Order the kit
- Prick a finger
- Post it back
- I guide you through the results
Order the kit
Through my practitioner page. It ships to your door, and postage is covered in both directions.
Prick a finger
Five minutes at your kitchen table. A lancet, a collection card, and step-by-step instructions in the box and in your inbox. No clinic, no appointment.
Post it back
Prepaid return envelope. The lab takes it from there.
I guide you through the results
Thirty to forty-five minutes on Zoom. I take you through all three reports: what is low, what it is costing you, and the two or three things worth changing first.
Retest in three to six months
Same markers, new numbers. This is the part that tells you whether what you changed actually worked.
Your practitioner
I ordered this panel on myself first
I was doing quite well. Eating right, moving quite often, staying up to date on all the latest biohacking news and supplements. Yet there were some parts of life that still seemed to lag behind. My sleep was alright, but not good (let alone great). I worked out at the gym, but performance didn't come easily, and recovery took quite a while. My moods, while a lot more stable since eating better, still seemed to be a bit low. Especially during (the long, Estonian) fall and winter periods.
What moved it was looking one layer down: not what I was putting in, but what my body actually had available to work with. Once I could see the numbers, the changes stopped being guesses.
That is what this panel is for, and why I read it with you rather than emailing you a PDF. Your numbers only mean something next to how you eat, sleep, and carry stress. That conversation is where the short list comes from.

What you get
- An at-home kit covering 36 nutritional markers, with shipping included both ways. Two of the 36 are reported for men only.
- A thirty-to-forty-five minute Zoom consultation with me, walking through your results and what to do with them.
- Three reports to keep: a meal plan, your Western Lifestyle Index, and the full biomarker analysis.
- Optional ongoing access to the Holohabits app for daily nutrition and lifestyle guidance.
Three reports, not a spreadsheet
Everything comes back as finished documents you can reread and bring to your GP if you want a second opinion. Not a login you lose track of.
Meal plan
What to eat, built around the gaps your results actually show.
Western Lifestyle Index
What your diet, sleep, and stress are costing you, scored.
Biomarker analysis
Every marker, where it sits, and why it matters for you.
The score
The Western Lifestyle Index
One score for how much the way you live is costing you. It works by measuring how far your markers sit from optimal across three domains: diet, sleep, and stress. Lower is better. It is the closest thing I have found to a scoreboard for modern life.
- Western Lifestyle Index4.2
- Dietary alignment4
- Recovery reserves1.5
- Stress adaptation2.1
Impact points across the population. Lower is better.
Dietary alignment
How closely what you eat matches what your biology is asking for.
Recovery reserves
Whether you have anything in the tank to repair with.
Stress adaptation
Whether you are still absorbing your load, or just carrying it.
It also makes progress legible. Retest in six months and the number moves, or it doesn't. Both are useful.
The full list
All 36 markers
The full list, in case you are the kind of person who wants the full list. Two of them (total testosterone and the testosterone:cortisol ratio) are reported for men only.
Four longevity markers, as a separate kit
Intracellular magnesium, selenium and zinc, plus NAD⁺, measured inside red blood cells rather than in serum. That is where these minerals actually do their work. NAD⁺ in particular falls with age and sits upstream of DNA repair. It ships as its own kit rather than as part of the panel above. Ask me on the call whether it is worth it in your case, or before you order if you'd rather do both at once.
Magnesium (erythrocytes) (Mg-RBC)
Magnesium where it is active, inside the cell. More telling than a serum reading, which the body holds steady at the expense of tissue stores.
NAD⁺ (NAD-RBC)
Cofactor for DNA repair enzymes and sirtuins. Declines with age, which makes it one of the more direct read-outs of biological ageing.
Selenium (erythrocytes) (Se-RBC)
Intracellular selenium, which reflects the antioxidant capacity you actually have rather than what is in transit.
Zinc (erythrocytes) (Zn-RBC)
Cellular zinc, tied to immune function, DNA synthesis, and the repair processes behind telomere maintenance.
Lab & method
Where the numbers come from
A lab in Switzerland analyses your sample by LC-MS/MS. That is mass spectrometry, the reference method for this kind of measurement. The lab holds SwissMedic authorisation and CLIA certification, and every marker on the panel has been validated against a standard venous draw. A finger-prick sample gives you comparable numbers.
- SwissMedic authorised
- CLIA certified
- LC-MS/MS analysis

Still deciding?
Order the kit whenever you are ready, or book a call first and I will tell you honestly whether this is the right place to start.
Important
This is nutrition and lifestyle information, not medical advice. The panel is not intended to diagnose, prevent, monitor, or treat any disease, the collection kit is not a medical device, and sample collection is not medically supervised. Nothing here replaces a conversation with a qualified healthcare professional.
