What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, weight changes, mood swings, irregular periods, or low energy levels. It helps identify thyroid disorders and hormonal imbalances that may be affecting your metabolism, reproductive health, and overall vitality. Many people use this test when they suspect their symptoms are hormone-related but want concrete answers about what's really going on.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, meaning no food or drinks except water. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inside of your elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing, as it can affect results. If you take high-dose biotin supplements (vitamin B7, B8, or H), stop taking them at least 72 hours before your test, as they can interfere with some measurements.

What's included in this test?

Testosterone, Total, MS Estradiol FSH LH

This comprehensive panel evaluates your thyroid function through TSH, Free T4, and T3 uptake to identify causes of weight changes, fatigue, and temperature sensitivity. It measures reproductive hormones including testosterone, estradiol, FSH, and LH that affect energy, mood, libido, and fertility. The panel also includes a Complete Blood Count to check for anemia and a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile to assess kidney function, liver health, blood sugar, and electrolyte balance. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of the hormonal and metabolic factors affecting your vitality and overall health.

What happens after I get my results?
You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone and thyroid levels mean for your energy, metabolism, mood, and reproductive health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, dietary adjustments, supplement suggestions, 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 and thyroid levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working.
Who should consider getting this test?
This test is ideal for anyone experiencing unexplained fatigue, difficulty losing or gaining weight, mood changes, low libido, or irregular menstrual cycles. It's especially useful for people concerned about thyroid problems, those experiencing symptoms of hormonal imbalance, athletes monitoring their performance, or anyone with a family history of thyroid disease. Both men and women can benefit from this comprehensive hormone and thyroid evaluation.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent fatigue or low energy despite adequate rest, unexplained weight gain or difficulty losing weight, feeling unusually cold or hot, mood swings or irritability, brain fog or difficulty concentrating, changes in libido or sexual function, irregular or heavy periods, thinning hair, dry skin, or muscle weakness. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms together, they may point to thyroid or hormonal imbalances.
How can I naturally support my hormone and thyroid health?
Focus on eating nutrient-dense foods including iodine-rich seafood, selenium from Brazil nuts and eggs, and zinc from shellfish and pumpkin seeds. Prioritize 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night and manage stress through yoga, meditation, or regular exercise. Limit processed foods and excess sugar, stay hydrated, and consider reducing exposure to endocrine disruptors in plastics and personal care products. Regular strength training can also help support healthy hormone levels.
What is TSH and why does it matter?
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) is produced by your pituitary gland and tells your thyroid how much thyroid hormone to make. It's like a thermostat for your metabolism. When TSH is too high, it usually means your thyroid is underactive and not producing enough hormones, which can cause fatigue, weight gain, and feeling cold. When TSH is too low, your thyroid may be overactive, leading to weight loss, anxiety, and feeling hot.
What does high TSH mean?
High TSH typically indicates hypothyroidism, meaning your thyroid isn't producing enough thyroid hormone, so your pituitary makes more TSH to try to stimulate it. This can cause symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, feeling cold, constipation, dry skin, and brain fog. It's important to follow up with your doctor, as you may benefit from thyroid medication or further evaluation.
How often should I retest my hormone and thyroid levels?
If you're starting treatment or making lifestyle changes, retesting every 6-8 weeks helps monitor your progress. Once your levels stabilize, testing every 6-12 months is typical for ongoing monitoring. If you're experiencing new symptoms or your current approach isn't working, your doctor may recommend testing more frequently. Athletes or those actively optimizing hormones might test every 3-6 months.

What this means

Your TSH is slightly elevated, which may indicate your thyroid is working harder than ideal. This can contribute to fatigue, weight gain, or feeling cold, and may benefit from closer monitoring and lifestyle adjustments.

* 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.
