What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're an athlete or fitness enthusiast noticing declining performance, slower recovery, persistent fatigue, or difficulty building muscle despite consistent training. It helps identify hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, metabolic inefficiencies, and nutritional deficiencies that may be holding back your athletic performance and accelerating aging. Many people use this comprehensive panel when they want to optimize their health span, maintain peak physical performance, and understand what's happening inside their body at a deeper level.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels, thyroid function, metabolic markers, and other biomarkers mean for your athletic performance, energy, and anti-aging goals. These notes include personalized recommendations like training adjustments, nutrition strategies, supplement suggestions, sleep optimization, or whether you should explore hormone optimization therapies. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarker levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working and monitor your progress toward peak performance.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Estradiol, DHEA-S, Progesterone, LH, FSH, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), IGF-1, Prolactin, TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Reverse T3, Insulin, Glucose, Hemoglobin A1c, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), Lipid Panel, Iron and Ferritin, Magnesium, High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein, GGT, and Complete Urinalysis. This comprehensive panel evaluates your complete hormonal profile including testosterone, estrogen, DHEA, progesterone, growth hormone markers (IGF-1), and reproductive hormones that directly impact muscle mass, energy, recovery, and vitality. It assesses thyroid function through TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and Reverse T3 to identify metabolic issues affecting weight and energy. The panel also measures insulin and glucose metabolism for performance optimization, complete blood count for oxygen delivery, lipid and cardiovascular markers for heart health, liver and kidney function, iron status for endurance, and inflammation markers. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of factors affecting your athletic performance, recovery, aging process, and overall vitality.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during this period. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before testing as it can elevate results. If you take high-dose biotin supplements (over 5 mg/day), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test, and don't take any biotin within 8 hours of your blood draw. Samples should not be collected during or shortly after heparin administration.

When will I get my results?

Your results will be available approximately 10 business days after your sample is collected and processed by the lab. If any biomarkers require confirmation testing, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results are ready to view in your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is perfect for athletes, fitness enthusiasts, and active individuals who want to optimize performance and slow aging. It's ideal if you're over 30 and noticing changes in recovery time, energy levels, or body composition. Anyone serious about longevity, biohacking their health, or maintaining peak physical performance into their later years should consider this comprehensive assessment.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Consider this test if you're experiencing stubborn weight gain despite training, declining strength or endurance, longer recovery times between workouts, persistent fatigue even with adequate sleep, loss of motivation or mental focus, decreased libido, or difficulty building or maintaining muscle mass. These symptoms can indicate hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction, or metabolic issues that affect athletic performance and accelerate aging.

How can I naturally support my hormone levels for athletic performance?

Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night, as this is when your body produces most hormones including testosterone and growth hormone. Engage in regular resistance training and high-intensity interval training, but avoid overtraining which can suppress hormones. Focus on nutrient-dense foods rich in healthy fats (for hormone production), adequate protein, zinc, magnesium, and vitamin D. Manage stress through meditation or yoga, limit alcohol consumption, and maintain a healthy body composition as excess body fat can disrupt hormone balance.

What is IGF-1 and why does it matter for athletes?

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) is a hormone that works with growth hormone to build and repair muscle tissue, strengthen bones, and support recovery after exercise. For athletes, optimal IGF-1 levels are crucial for muscle growth, injury recovery, and maintaining physical performance. Low levels can lead to slower recovery, difficulty building muscle, and accelerated aging, while monitoring IGF-1 helps you understand whether your training and nutrition are supporting optimal growth and repair processes.

How often should I retest this panel?

For performance optimization and anti-aging monitoring, most athletes benefit from retesting every 3-6 months to track trends and measure the impact of training, nutrition, or supplement interventions. If you're making specific changes to optimize hormone levels or address deficiencies, retest after 8-12 weeks to assess effectiveness. Once your levels are optimized and stable, annual testing is sufficient for ongoing monitoring, though more frequent testing may be valuable during intense training periods or as you age.
