The Advanced Female Wellness Test is a comprehensive at-home hormone and health screening for women who want a complete picture of their hormonal, metabolic, thyroid, cardiovascular, and toxic element status — all from a single finger-prick blood spot sample collected at home.
This advanced panel measures 31 essential biomarkers across female hormones, fertility markers, thyroid function, cholesterol, blood sugar, inflammation, essential minerals, and toxic heavy metals — providing one of the most thorough female health assessments available without a clinic visit.
Results are interpreted by a specialist hormone doctor and delivered as a personalised, easy-to-read graphical report within 3–5 working days of the laboratory receiving your sample.
Who Is This Test For?
This test is designed for women experiencing any of the following symptoms or health concerns:

Why Hormones Matter for Female Health
Hormones regulate nearly every aspect of female wellbeing — from menstrual cycles and fertility to mood, energy, metabolism, sleep, thyroid function, and cardiovascular health. Even subtle imbalances across multiple hormone systems can produce wide-ranging symptoms that are often dismissed or misattributed.
This test is designed to identify the root hormonal, metabolic, and environmental drivers behind your symptoms — so you can take targeted, evidence-based action.
Fertility and Ovarian Reserve (AMH)
Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) is one of the most clinically important fertility markers, reflecting ovarian reserve — the remaining supply of eggs. AMH testing can help assess fertility potential, support family planning decisions, evaluate PCOS, and provide early insight into premature ovarian insufficiency or early menopause.
Estrogen, Progesterone and Menstrual Health
Measuring all three estrogens (E1, E2, E3) alongside progesterone provides a detailed picture of hormonal balance across the menstrual cycle. Imbalances in this ratio are commonly linked to PMS, PMDD, irregular cycles, fertility difficulties, mood instability, and perimenopausal symptoms.
Testosterone and SHBG in Women
Women require healthy testosterone levels for energy, libido, muscle tone, motivation, and mental clarity. SHBG regulates how much testosterone is biologically active — low SHBG can amplify androgen effects (as seen in PCOS), while high SHBG may reduce available testosterone, contributing to fatigue and low drive.
Adrenal Function and Stress Hormones
Cortisol and DHEA-S reflect adrenal gland output and the body's capacity to manage stress. Chronic stress, burnout, and adrenal dysfunction can disrupt the entire hormonal cascade — affecting sleep, immunity, weight, and reproductive health.
Comprehensive Thyroid Assessment
This panel includes a full thyroid profile — TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Total T4, TPO antibodies, and thyroglobulin — enabling assessment of hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, thyroid conversion issues, and subclinical thyroid dysfunction that standard NHS testing may miss.
Metabolic Health: Blood Sugar, Insulin and Inflammation
HbA1c reflects average blood glucose over the preceding 2–3 months, while fasting insulin is a sensitive early marker of insulin resistance — often elevated years before blood sugar abnormalities appear. hs-CRP measures systemic inflammation, a key driver of cardiovascular risk, metabolic dysfunction, and hormonal disruption.
Toxic Heavy Metals and Essential Minerals
Mercury and cadmium are environmental toxins that can accumulate in the body and interfere with hormone production, thyroid function, immune health, and neurological wellbeing. Zinc, magnesium, selenium, and copper are essential cofactors for hormone synthesis, thyroid conversion, antioxidant defence, and reproductive health.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D deficiency is widespread in the UK and is associated with fatigue, low mood, immune dysfunction, bone loss, hormonal imbalance, and increased cardiovascular risk. This test measures both D2 and D3 fractions for a complete picture of your vitamin D status.
