Stress & Cortisol Test
Stress affects sleep, energy, metabolism and recovery. This 4-point salivary test measures your cortisol at four times across one day, so you see the whole rhythm rather than a single snapshot.
Ideal if you
- Feel ongoing stress or fatigue
- Have up and down energy
- Struggle to sleep or recover
- Want to understand your rhythm
- Want to manage stress better
- Want healthier daily habits
£85
WHAT IT LOOKS AT
Daily cortisol rhythm
Whether your levels follow the expected daily pattern.
Morning cortisol
Levels early in the day, when they support waking and alertness.
Daytime regulation
How levels change through the day alongside your routine.
Evening cortisol
Whether levels fall towards the evening as they normally should.
Sleep & recovery
Useful context when reviewing sleep, recovery and circadian health.
Stress response
One part of your body's physical stress response.
Foundational Genetics Test
The ExtendingME Foundational Genetics Panel looks at more than 140 genetic variants linked to health, metabolism, nutrition, cognition, resilience and longevity.
Blood tests show your current state. Genetics shows inherited traits that stay largely the same for life, so you usually only test once.
Ideal if you
- Want to know your genetic profile
- Are interested in personalised nutrition
- Want to explore inherited predispositions
- Are focused on longevity
- Want to tailor exercise and recovery
- Prefer a proactive approach

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to visit a clinic?
No. The Stress and Genetics tests use home collection kits. The Elite Blood Test includes mobile phlebotomy, so your sample is collected at an agreed location, subject to availability.
Do I need to understand my results?
No. Every package includes an online coaching consultation to help you understand your results and what to do with them. Blood tests also include a doctor's consultation for medical interpretation.
Can these tests diagnose medical conditions?
Some blood biomarkers can identify abnormalities that need medical investigation, but no single screening package can diagnose every condition. Genetic testing shows inherited associations and predispositions rather than definite predictions. The cortisol test measures your daily cortisol pattern but cannot on its own diagnose stress, burnout or adrenal disorders.
How often should I test?
Your DNA generally does not change, so genetic testing is usually a one-off. Blood biomarkers change over time, so repeat testing may be worthwhile depending on your goals. Repeat cortisol testing depends on why you tested and what your results showed.
Can I buy more than one test?
Yes. The Complete Health Insights Package combines the Genetics and Elite Blood tests for £500, saving £125 compared with buying them separately.
Is coaching included in the price?
Yes. Every package includes a personalised one-to-one online coaching consultation at no extra cost.
