What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood swings, weight fluctuations, irregular periods, or low energy levels. It helps identify hormonal imbalances affecting your thyroid, sex hormones, stress hormones, and metabolic function that may be impacting your overall wellness. Many women use this test when they suspect hormones are affecting their energy, weight, mood, or reproductive health but want comprehensive answers.

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 or beverages except water. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inside of your elbow area for 24 hours before testing. Stop taking biotin supplements (vitamin B7, B8, or H) at least 72 hours before your test, as it can interfere with results. If you take prednisone or prednisolone, let the lab know as it may affect the cortisol test.

What's included in this test?

Dhea, Unconjugated Sex Hormone Binding Globulin T3, Free Cortisol, Total Dhea Sulfate Estradiol Hemoglobin A1C Hcg, Total, Qn T4, Free TSH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your complete hormonal balance including estrogen, testosterone, DHEA, and progesterone indicators (through FSH and LH), which directly impact energy, mood, libido, and metabolism. It assesses thyroid function through TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 to identify causes of weight changes and fatigue, measures stress hormones like cortisol, and includes metabolic markers (glucose, HbA1c, lipids) and a complete blood count. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of the hormonal, metabolic, and overall health factors affecting your vitality, weight management, and well-being.

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 modifications, nutritional suggestions, supplement guidance, 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 in about 7 business days after your blood sample is collected. Some tests in this panel use advanced LC/MS/MS technology for highly accurate measurements, which may take a bit longer. If any confirmation testing is needed, the turnaround time may be extended slightly, but you'll be notified if this applies to your results.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is perfect for women experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, mood changes, irregular or absent periods, low libido, or sleep disturbances. It's also valuable for women going through perimenopause or menopause, those with a family history of thyroid or hormonal disorders, or anyone wanting to optimize their hormone levels for better energy and wellness. Women with PCOS, fertility concerns, or metabolic issues will also find this comprehensive panel helpful.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include constant tiredness that doesn't improve with rest, difficulty losing weight despite diet and exercise, feeling unusually cold or hot, mood swings or feeling down, brain fog or trouble concentrating, thinning hair or dry skin, irregular periods, reduced sex drive, trouble sleeping, or unexplained anxiety. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms together, it may indicate a hormonal imbalance that this test can help identify.
How can I naturally support my hormone balance?
Supporting hormonal health starts with prioritizing 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night and managing stress through practices like yoga, meditation, or deep breathing. Eating a balanced diet with adequate protein, healthy fats, and plenty of vegetables helps stabilize blood sugar and hormone production. Regular exercise combining strength training and cardio, limiting alcohol and caffeine, and avoiding endocrine disruptors in plastics and personal care products can all support optimal hormone balance.
What is estradiol and why does it matter?
Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen in women and plays a crucial role in regulating your menstrual cycle, mood, bone health, skin quality, and metabolism. It affects everything from your energy levels and mental clarity to weight distribution and libido. When estradiol levels are too high or too low, you may experience mood swings, irregular periods, weight gain, hot flashes, or reduced bone density, which is why monitoring it is essential for overall female health.
How often should I retest my hormone levels?
If you're starting treatment for a hormonal imbalance or making lifestyle changes, retesting every 3-6 months helps track progress and adjust your approach. Once your hormones are balanced and stable, testing annually is typically sufficient for monitoring. However, if you're going through perimenopause, menopause, or experiencing new symptoms, more frequent testing every 3-4 months may be helpful to optimize your treatment and track changes.

What this means

Your estradiol levels are below the optimal range, which may contribute to fatigue, mood swings, difficulty losing weight, or irregular periods. Low estradiol can also affect sleep quality, skin health, and bone density over time. This is common during certain phases of your cycle or during perimenopause.

* 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.
