Quick answer

Bernini is Hisential's specialty longevity and performance tier - 82 biomarkers covering hormonal depth (FSH, LH, SHBG, DHEAs, Prolactin, E2, plus testosterone for men or progesterone for women), insulin and HOMA-IR for metabolic health, advanced cardiac risk (Apolipoprotein A1, Apolipoprotein B, Lipoprotein(a), Homocysteine, hsCRP), and specialty cancer markers (AFP, CEA, CA19-9, EBV EA IgA). Built for patients optimising healthspan and performance, reviewed by our SMC-registered medical team.

How to prepare

Before your visit

  • Schedule your visit between 8:00 AM and 10:30 AM - the hormone panel follows a daily rhythm and peaks in the morning, so an early draw is essential for clinically meaningful hormone results.
  • Fast 8-10 hours before your visit - fasting insulin and the HOMA-IR calculation require a true overnight fast, not just skipping breakfast.
  • For at least 48 hours before bloods, avoid heavy resistance training, sauna sessions, and large protein loads - all transiently shift hormone levels, SHBG, and creatine kinase.
  • Skip alcohol for 48 hours - even moderate intake shifts morning hormone levels and raises GGT, which muddies the Bernini liver and hormone reads together.
  • Keep your usual prescribed medication (including any hormone therapy you are on) but write down doses and timing so the doctor can interpret hormones in context. If you take a creatine or DHEA supplement, hold for 7 days where possible.
  • Allow about 2.5 hours on site - Bernini has lighter imaging than Da Vinci but a denser specialty-lab workup that needs an extended doctor consult.
On the day

What to expect during your visit

  1. 1Early-morning concierge check-in: the team prioritises Bernini patients so the hormone draw lands as close to 8:00 AM as your slot allows.
  2. 2Biophysical station: blood pressure, BMI, body-fat percentage, waist-to-hip ratio, and visual acuity.
  3. 3Phlebotomy and urine: a single fasted draw covers the full 82-biomarker Bernini panel - hormones, fasting insulin/HOMA-IR, ApoA1/ApoB/Lp(a), homocysteine, hsCRP, and the specialty cancer markers (AFP, CEA, CA19-9, EBV EA IgA).
  4. 4Resting 12-lead ECG and chest X-ray.
  5. 5Extended doctor consultation: focused on metabolic, hormonal, and advanced cardiovascular interpretation - longer than the standard tiers because the data set is denser.
  6. 6Concierge wrap-up: results-review consult booked, often with a longer slot so the doctor can co-design a longevity, hormone, or cardiac-risk protocol with you.
Results

How your results are delivered

Bernini hormone, insulin, and advanced cardiac results typically return within 3-5 working days because several assays (Lp(a), EBV EA IgA, hormone panel) run on specialty-lab cycles. Your Personal Health Concierge collates the full 82-marker set into a longevity-oriented report and books an extended results-review consultation where the doctor builds a protocol with you - hormone therapy candidacy, insulin-sensitivity intervention, ApoB-lowering strategy, or Lp(a) risk mitigation - rather than just handing back numbers. Repeat-test cadence is set at the same visit.

Choosing your tier

Why Bernini vs. neighbouring tiers

Bernini is a depth tier, not a breadth tier - it sacrifices the imaging choice from Michelangelo/Van Gogh/Da Vinci for advanced lab depth instead (hormones, insulin, ApoB/Lp(a), specialty cancer markers). Choose Bernini if you have already had recent imaging, or if you alternate with Da Vinci year-on-year.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about the Bernini package

Clear answers, written by our clinical team. Tap any question for its direct permalink, or reach out to your Personal Concierge for anything else.

  1. Is Bernini suitable for women?

    Yes. Bernini includes one hormone panel and its analytes are matched to your sex, at the same price. Both versions measure FSH, LH, SHBG, DHEAs, Prolactin and E2; men are tested for testosterone and women for progesterone. Everything else in the 82-biomarker set is identical.

  2. What is HOMA-IR and why does Bernini include it?

    HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance) combines fasting insulin and fasting glucose to estimate insulin resistance - a precursor to type 2 diabetes that an HbA1c alone may miss. Detecting it early opens the door to lifestyle and medical interventions before diabetes develops.

  3. What do ApoA1, ApoB, and Lp(a) tell me?

    These are advanced cardiovascular markers. ApoB counts atherogenic particles directly (better than LDL alone), the ApoB/ApoA1 ratio sharpens cardiac risk, and Lp(a) is a genetically-set independent risk factor that a standard cholesterol panel misses entirely.

  4. Does Bernini include imaging?

    Only a chest X-ray. Bernini deliberately swaps ultrasounds for advanced lab depth - pair it with a Da Vinci or Michelangelo in alternate years if you want imaging too.

  5. How often should I repeat Bernini?

    Annually if you are actively managing hormones, weight, or cardiovascular risk. Otherwise every 2 years, alternating with a broad imaging-focused tier such as Da Vinci.
