What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, fatigue, mood changes, reduced muscle mass, low libido, or difficulty losing weight. It helps identify hormonal imbalances affecting your vitality, performance, and overall well-being by evaluating testosterone levels, thyroid function, stress hormones, and metabolic health. Many men use this test when they suspect their symptoms are hormone-related but want comprehensive, precise answers to optimize their health.

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, muscle mass, and overall health. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, exercise modifications, or whether you should consider hormone optimization therapy. 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.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Total Testosterone (LC/MS/MS), Free Testosterone, Estradiol, DHEA (unconjugated), DHEA-Sulfate, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Cortisol, FSH, LH, PSA, IGF-1, Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy), Hemoglobin A1c, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), and Lipid Panel. This comprehensive panel evaluates your hormonal balance through testosterone (total and free) and estradiol levels, which directly impact energy, mood, libido, and muscle mass. It checks thyroid function (TSH, Free T3, Free T4) to identify causes of unexplained weight changes and fatigue, monitors prostate health with PSA testing, assesses stress hormones like cortisol and DHEA, and includes metabolic markers (glucose, HbA1c, lipid panel, liver and kidney function) that affect long-term wellness. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of factors affecting your vitality, performance, and overall health.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your test, drinking only water during this time. Avoid ejaculation for 24 hours before testing for accurate results. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before your blood draw. Stop taking biotin supplements (vitamin B7 or B8) at least 72 hours prior to testing, as high doses can interfere with some test results.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results within approximately 7 business days after your sample is collected. This test uses advanced LC/MS/MS methodology for highly accurate hormone measurements. If any confirmation testing is required for certain biomarkers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly to ensure the most accurate results possible.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is perfect for men who want to optimize their health and performance, especially those over 30 experiencing age-related changes. It's particularly valuable if you're dealing with persistent fatigue, trouble building or maintaining muscle, unexplained weight gain, low sex drive, mood issues, or reduced mental clarity. Men already on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or considering it will find this comprehensive panel especially useful for baseline assessment and monitoring.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms that suggest hormonal imbalance include persistent tiredness even after adequate sleep, difficulty losing belly fat despite diet and exercise, reduced motivation or drive, decreased muscle mass and strength, low libido or sexual dysfunction, mood swings or irritability, brain fog, poor workout recovery, and unexplained changes in body composition. If you're experiencing several of these symptoms, comprehensive hormone testing can help identify the root causes.

How can I naturally support healthy testosterone levels?

Focus on resistance training and high-intensity interval training at least 3-4 times per week, as strength training significantly boosts testosterone production. Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly, as most testosterone production occurs during deep sleep. Include zinc-rich foods like oysters, beef, and pumpkin seeds, along with healthy fats from avocados, olive oil, and fatty fish. Manage stress through meditation or yoga, limit alcohol consumption, and maintain a healthy body weight, as excess body fat can convert testosterone to estrogen.

What does low testosterone mean?

Low testosterone means your body isn't producing enough of this key male hormone, which can affect energy levels, muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, mood, and mental clarity. It's often caused by aging, chronic stress, poor sleep, obesity, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. While some decline is natural with age, significantly low levels can impact quality of life and may benefit from lifestyle modifications or, in some cases, medical intervention.

How often should I retest my hormone levels?

If you're making lifestyle changes to optimize your hormones, retesting every 3-6 months helps track your progress and adjust your approach. Men on testosterone replacement therapy typically need monitoring every 3-4 months initially, then every 6 months once levels stabilize. For general health optimization and preventive monitoring, annual comprehensive hormone testing is recommended, especially for men over 35. More frequent testing may be needed if you have specific symptoms or health concerns.
