Overview

The Genoryx Pulse is our mid-tier longevity assessment package designed for individuals who want meaningful depth without the full clinical immersion of our Spectrum programme. It answers not just "where am I now?" but "where am I heading?" — by combining blood biomarkers with functional fitness testing and expert interpretation.

Like every Genoryx package, Pulse starts with the 400+ parameter entry assessment. Its blood work covers the markers that matter most for longevity: metabolic health (fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, HbA1c, comprehensive lipid panel including ApoB and Lp(a)), inflammation (hs-CRP, homocysteine), hormonal status (total and free testosterone or oestradiol, SHBG, thyroid cascade, cortisol, DHEA-S), organ function (liver and kidney panels), and micronutrient status (vitamin D, B12, folate, ferritin, magnesium RBC). This panel goes well beyond routine blood work and uses longevity-optimized reference ranges — not the disease-detection ranges used by conventional labs.

On top of that, Pulse adds a VO2 Max cardiopulmonary exercise test, the reference measure of cardiorespiratory fitness. Fitness is strongly linked with survival. In a 2018 study of 122,007 patients who had treadmill testing (Mandsager K et al., JAMA Network Open), reduced cardiorespiratory fitness was associated with a mortality risk comparable to or greater than traditional risk factors such as smoking, diabetes and coronary artery disease, and no upper limit of benefit was observed. Your VO2 Max result gives your physician an objective measure of your cardiovascular capacity and a clear target for improvement.

Pulse then adds a 60-minute physician consultation where your entry assessment and VO2 Max data are integrated into a comprehensive health assessment. Your physician contextualises the data against your health history, family risk factors, and personal objectives, then outlines specific, actionable recommendations for nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and therapeutic interventions.

The Pulse is our most popular assessment package because it provides the data density needed for genuine insight at a price point and time commitment that fits a busy professional's schedule. The entire assessment — blood draw, VO2 Max test, and consultation — is completed in approximately half a day. Book a consultation with our longevity physician to schedule your Pulse assessment.

What the evidence says

Evidence · Established

Backed by large studies or guidelines and part of standard practice. How we grade evidence

What it shows

Cardiorespiratory fitness and blood markers such as ApoB and HbA1c are among the best-studied predictors of long-term health.

What it does not show

Predictors describe risk, not destiny. The value is in the physician review and in acting on what is found.

  1. 01
    Mandsager K, et al. Association of cardiorespiratory fitness with long-term mortality among adults undergoing exercise treadmill testing. JAMA Netw Open, 2018. (opens in a new tab)

    In 122,007 patients, the fittest group had a fifth of the adjusted mortality of the least fit, with no upper limit of benefit.

  2. 02
    Sniderman AD, et al. Apolipoprotein B particles and cardiovascular disease: a narrative review. JAMA Cardiol, 2019. (opens in a new tab)

    The number of ApoB particles, more than the cholesterol they carry, drives atherosclerotic risk.

What it can and cannot do

What it can do

  • Add a VO2 max test to the 400+ parameter entry assessment and a 60-minute physician consultation.
  • Measure fitness and markers such as ApoB, among the best-studied predictors of long-term health.Source [1]

What it cannot do

  • Predict your own future. Predictors describe risk, not destiny.
  • Include DEXA, glucose monitoring or epigenetic age testing. Those come with Spectrum.

Numbers in brackets point to the studies above. Medical review: a physician who did not write this page checks each line against the source it cites, and checks that nothing reads as a promised result. How we review

Who it's for

A good fit

  • Health-conscious professionals seeking comprehensive baseline data
  • Athletes wanting VO2 Max alongside biomarker optimisation
  • Individuals with family history of cardiovascular or metabolic disease
  • Patients progressing from Genoryx Spark for deeper assessment
  • Executive health assessment as part of corporate health

Talk to us first

  • Fasting required 10-12 hours for blood draw
  • VO2 Max test requires medical clearance for those with cardiac conditions
  • Active acute illness (defer until recovered)

Markers this assessment covers

A few of the blood markers in Pulse that most often change a plan.

Before your appointment

  • Fast for 10 to 12 hours before the blood draw. Water is fine, and morning appointments make it easier.
  • If you have a heart condition, the VO2 max test needs medical clearance first.
  • If you are acutely ill, move the appointment until you have recovered.
  • Time to allow: 3-4 hours total (blood draw, then VO2 Max, then consultation).

Your physician confirms at screening whether this is right for you. If anything above applies, tell us when you book.

Questions people ask

How is Pulse different from Spark and Spectrum?

All three start with the same 400+ parameter entry assessment and a 60-minute physician consultation. Spark adds an InBody scan. Pulse adds VO2 Max testing. Spectrum adds DEXA, CGM and epigenetic age testing. Your physician can help you choose; for most people Pulse gives enough without a full-day commitment.

Why is VO2 Max included? I thought that was just for athletes.

VO2 Max reflects cardiorespiratory fitness, one of the strongest predictors of long-term survival. In a 2018 JAMA Network Open study of 122,007 patients, reduced fitness was associated with a mortality risk comparable to or greater than smoking, diabetes or coronary artery disease. Knowing your VO2 Max gives your physician an objective cardiovascular fitness metric to track and improve over time. It is as relevant for a 55-year-old executive as for a competitive athlete.

How long does the full Pulse assessment take?

Plan for approximately 3-4 hours. This includes the blood draw (15 minutes), a 20-minute VO2 Max test, processing time while we prepare preliminary results, and a 60-minute physician consultation. We schedule Pulse assessments in the morning to accommodate fasting requirements.
