What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained mood swings, fatigue, irregular periods, unexpected weight changes, or low energy levels. It helps identify hormone imbalances involving estrogen and testosterone, checks your heart health through cholesterol markers, and evaluates your overall metabolic function. Many people use this test when they suspect their symptoms are hormone-related but want concrete answers about what's affecting their energy, mood, and physical well-being.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12-14 hours

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during this period. If you're using testosterone cream, avoid rubbing it into the inner elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing, as this can artificially elevate your results. Plan to have your blood drawn in the morning after an overnight fast for the most accurate results.

What's included in this test?

Testosterone, Total, MS Estradiol,Ultrasensitive, LC/MS FSH LH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your hormonal balance through ultrasensitive estradiol and testosterone measurements, which directly impact energy, mood, weight, and sexual health. It checks reproductive hormones FSH and LH to assess fertility and menopausal status, measures your lipid panel to evaluate heart disease risk, and includes a complete metabolic profile and blood count to monitor overall health, organ function, and nutrient status. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of factors affecting your vitality, metabolism, cardiovascular health, and hormonal wellness.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone and metabolic levels mean for your energy, mood, weight, and heart health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider hormone therapy or follow up with a specialist. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone, cholesterol, and metabolic levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.
When will I get my results?
You can expect to receive your results within 10 business days after your blood sample is collected. In some cases, if confirmation testing is required for any of the markers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly to ensure accuracy. You'll be notified as soon as your complete results are available in your account.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, mood changes, weight fluctuations, or irregular periods. It's particularly useful for women approaching or going through menopause, people concerned about their heart health or cholesterol levels, and anyone wanting to understand how their hormones are affecting their overall wellness. Men and women who want a comprehensive view of their hormonal balance, metabolic health, and cardiovascular risk should also consider this panel.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent fatigue or low energy, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, mood swings or feeling anxious, irregular or absent periods, hot flashes or night sweats, decreased sex drive, difficulty concentrating, or changes in muscle mass. You may also consider this test if you have concerns about high cholesterol, family history of heart disease, or want to understand hormone changes during perimenopause or menopause.
How can I naturally support my hormone balance?
Supporting hormone balance starts with getting 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night and managing stress through activities like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise. Eating a balanced diet rich in healthy fats (avocados, nuts, olive oil), lean proteins, and plenty of vegetables helps your body produce hormones properly. Regular strength training and cardiovascular exercise can help balance testosterone and estrogen levels, while limiting alcohol, reducing processed foods, and maintaining a healthy weight also support optimal hormone production.
What is estradiol and why does it matter?
Estradiol is the primary form of estrogen in your body and plays a crucial role in regulating your menstrual cycle, mood, bone health, skin quality, and metabolism. In women, it affects fertility, sexual health, and helps protect heart and bone health, while declining levels during menopause cause symptoms like hot flashes and mood changes. This test uses ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS technology to detect even very low levels accurately, which is especially important for monitoring hormone therapy, assessing menopausal status, or evaluating fertility concerns.
What does high cholesterol mean for my health?
High cholesterol, particularly elevated LDL (bad cholesterol) or low HDL (good cholesterol), increases your risk of developing heart disease and stroke over time. When there's too much cholesterol in your blood, it can build up in artery walls, narrowing them and making it harder for blood to flow to your heart and brain. The lipid panel in this test helps identify these risks early so you can take action through diet changes, exercise, and lifestyle modifications before serious problems develop.
How often should I retest my hormone levels?
If you're addressing symptoms or starting new treatments, retesting every 3-6 months helps you track whether your interventions are working and if your hormones are stabilizing. If you're on hormone replacement therapy, your doctor may want to monitor levels every 3-4 months initially, then every 6-12 months once stable. For general wellness monitoring or if your initial results are normal, annual testing is typically sufficient to catch any changes early and maintain optimal health.

What this means

Your estradiol levels are below the optimal range, which may contribute to symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, irregular periods, or difficulty with weight management. Low estradiol is common during menopause or perimenopause and can also affect bone health and cardiovascular function over time.

* 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.
