A 30-biomarker panel targeting the hormonal, metabolic, and nutritional markers that directly affect athletic output and recovery. Measures testosterone, SHBG, DHEA-S, cortisol, LH, and FSH for hormonal status; HbA1c, insulin, and fasting glucose for fuel efficiency; plus vitamin D, B12, ferritin, zinc, and magnesium — the minerals most commonly depleted by intense training.
The Elite Performance Panel is built for athletes and serious exercisers who want data-driven insight into the biological systems that determine training response, recovery speed, and long-term durability. The hormonal profile centres on the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio — a recognised marker of recovery status and overtraining risk. Testosterone (with SHBG for bioavailability), DHEA-S, and cortisol together reveal whether your endocrine system is coping with your training load or being driven into a catabolic state. LH and FSH provide pituitary context that helps distinguish between overtraining suppression and primary hormonal issues. Glucose control markers (HbA1c, fasting insulin, fasting glucose) assess metabolic efficiency — insulin sensitivity is a performance advantage and declines with overtraining, poor sleep, and chronic stress. Cardiovascular and inflammation markers flag systemic stress responses that can derail training blocks. The mineral panel specifically targets training-depleted nutrients. Ferritin drops with endurance training through sweat loss, foot-strike haemolysis, and GI microbleeding. Zinc is critical for testosterone production and immune function. Magnesium supports muscle contraction, sleep quality, and over 300 enzymatic reactions. Vitamin D affects bone density, immune resilience, and muscle function.
