What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing chronic fatigue, unexplained weight changes, irregular periods, mood swings, or concerns about your hormone balance. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of your reproductive hormones, thyroid function, metabolic health, and stress markers to identify underlying causes of persistent tiredness and hormonal symptoms. Many women use this panel when they suspect hormonal imbalances are affecting their energy, weight, fertility, or overall well-being but want concrete 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, consuming only water during this time. If you're taking high-dose biotin supplements (over 5 mg/day), stop taking them at least 72 hours before testing as they can interfere with results. Avoid applying testosterone or hormone creams to your inner arm area for 24 hours before the test, and if you're on prednisone or prednisolone, discuss timing with your healthcare provider as these medications can affect cortisol results.

What's included in this test?

Estrogen, Total Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Homocysteine T3, Free Cortisol, Total Dhea Sulfate Ferritin Hemoglobin A1C Insulin Progesterone T4, Free TSH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your reproductive hormones including estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, DHEA-S, FSH, LH, and SHBG to assess fertility and hormonal balance. It checks thyroid function through TSH, Free T3, and Free T4 to identify causes of fatigue and weight changes, measures cortisol and insulin for stress and metabolic health, and includes complete blood count, metabolic panel, lipid panel, and key nutrients like Vitamin D, ferritin, and homocysteine. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of hormonal, metabolic, cardiovascular, and nutritional factors affecting your energy, mood, weight, and overall vitality.

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, fertility, thyroid health, and overall wellness. These notes include personalized recommendations like dietary changes, lifestyle adjustments, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider hormone therapy or further evaluation. 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 and monitor changes throughout your cycle or treatment.
When will I get my results?
Your results will typically be available within 7 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed for specific biomarkers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. You'll receive an email notification as soon as your results are ready to view in your secure online account.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for women experiencing chronic fatigue, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, irregular or missed periods, fertility concerns, low libido, hair loss, or persistent mood changes. It's especially valuable for women in their 30s-40s noticing hormonal shifts, those with PCOS or thyroid concerns, women trying to conceive, or anyone wanting a comprehensive baseline of their hormonal and metabolic health. If you've been told your symptoms are just stress or aging but you want concrete answers, this panel provides detailed insights.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent tiredness despite adequate sleep, unexplained weight changes, irregular or heavy periods, difficulty getting pregnant, low sex drive, hair thinning or loss, mood swings or anxiety, trouble sleeping, feeling cold all the time, or brain fog. You might also notice changes in your skin, difficulty building muscle, increased belly fat, or feeling unusually stressed or overwhelmed. These symptoms often indicate hormonal imbalances that this comprehensive panel can help identify.
How can I naturally support my hormone balance?
Supporting hormone balance starts with prioritizing 7-9 hours of quality sleep and managing stress through practices like yoga, meditation, or regular walks. Eat a balanced diet rich in healthy fats (avocados, nuts, fatty fish), protein, fiber, and plenty of vegetables while limiting processed foods and sugar. Regular exercise including both strength training and moderate cardio helps regulate hormones, and maintaining a healthy weight is important for hormone production. Consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, and ensure adequate intake of nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.
What is estrogen and why does it matter for women's health?
Estrogen is the primary female sex hormone that regulates your menstrual cycle, supports bone health, affects mood and energy levels, and plays a key role in fertility and reproductive health. It influences everything from your metabolism and weight distribution to skin health, sleep quality, and cardiovascular function. When estrogen levels are too high or too low, you may experience irregular periods, mood changes, weight gain, fatigue, or fertility challenges, which is why monitoring it is important for understanding your overall hormonal health.
What does high cortisol mean?
High cortisol typically indicates your body is under chronic stress, whether from physical, emotional, or lifestyle factors. Elevated cortisol can contribute to weight gain especially around your midsection, difficulty sleeping, anxiety, fatigue, high blood sugar, weakened immune function, and irregular periods. Common causes include ongoing stress, lack of sleep, overtraining without adequate recovery, chronic inflammation, or certain medical conditions affecting your adrenal glands.

What this means

Your cortisol level is elevated above the optimal range, which may indicate your body is experiencing chronic stress. High cortisol can contribute to fatigue, difficulty sleeping, weight gain especially around your midsection, mood changes, and irregular periods. While temporary stress is normal, persistently elevated cortisol may benefit from stress management strategies.

* 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.
