What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood swings, weight changes, irregular periods, or low libido. It helps identify hormonal imbalances involving estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, thyroid, and adrenal hormones that may be affecting your energy, metabolism, mood, and overall well-being. Many women use this test when they suspect their symptoms are hormone-related but want comprehensive answers about what's happening in their body.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12-14 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food but water is okay. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inside of your elbow area for 24 hours before testing as it can affect results. If you take high-dose biotin supplements (vitamin B7), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test. Plan your appointment in the morning if possible, and avoid any radioisotope procedures 24 hours before testing.

What's included in this test?

Estrogen, Total Pregnenolone, LC/MS T3, Free Dhea Sulfate Estradiol Progesterone TSH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your sex hormones including estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, and pregnenolone which directly impact mood, energy, libido, and menstrual cycle regularity. It also checks thyroid function through TSH and Free T3 to identify causes of weight changes and fatigue, assesses metabolic health with a Complete Metabolic Panel and Lipid Panel for cardiovascular and blood sugar monitoring, and includes a Complete Blood Count to check for anemia and immune health. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of the hormonal, metabolic, and physiological factors affecting your vitality, weight, mood, and overall wellness.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels mean for your energy, mood, metabolism, and reproductive health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, dietary modifications, or whether you should consider hormone therapy or follow up with an endocrinologist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.
When will I get my results?
You can expect your results within 7 business days after your blood is collected. This test uses advanced LC/MS/MS methodology for precise hormone measurement, which requires specialized lab processing time. If any results require confirmation testing for accuracy, the turnaround time may be extended slightly, but you'll be notified if this is necessary.
Who should consider this test?
This test is perfect for women experiencing hormonal symptoms like irregular periods, PMS, perimenopause or menopause symptoms, unexplained weight gain, persistent fatigue, mood changes, low sex drive, or difficulty sleeping. It's also valuable for women on hormone replacement therapy who want to monitor their levels, those with PCOS or thyroid concerns, or anyone seeking a comprehensive baseline of their hormonal health.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common signs include persistent fatigue that doesn't improve with rest, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, mood swings or increased anxiety, irregular or heavy periods, low libido, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, trouble sleeping, hair thinning, or feeling cold all the time. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms together, hormonal imbalance may be a contributing factor worth investigating.
How can I naturally support hormone balance?
Start by prioritizing 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, as sleep is crucial for hormone production and regulation. Manage stress through yoga, meditation, or regular walking, and include strength training exercise which supports healthy hormone levels. Eat a balanced diet rich in healthy fats (avocados, nuts, fatty fish), plenty of vegetables, and adequate protein while limiting sugar and processed foods. Consider reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, which can disrupt hormone balance.
What is estradiol and why does it matter?
Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen in women during reproductive years and plays a vital role in regulating your menstrual cycle, mood, bone health, skin quality, and cardiovascular health. When estradiol levels are too high or too low, you may experience irregular periods, mood swings, hot flashes, weight changes, or decreased libido. Monitoring estradiol helps understand fertility status, perimenopause transition, and overall hormonal balance.
What does low progesterone mean?
Low progesterone can indicate difficulty ovulating, luteal phase defects, or perimenopause transition. Common symptoms include irregular periods, PMS symptoms, mood changes, anxiety, difficulty sleeping, and challenges with fertility or maintaining early pregnancy. Low progesterone is often related to chronic stress, inadequate ovulation, thyroid issues, or being in perimenopause.

What this means

Your estradiol levels are below the optimal range, which may contribute to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, irregular periods, low libido, or difficulty sleeping. Low estradiol can occur during certain phases of your menstrual cycle, perimenopause, or due to stress and nutritional factors.

* Regular blood test results (e.g., CBC) typically start arriving the next business day after sample collection. More complex tests, such as hormone panels, may take up to 10–15 business days due to their complexity.
