What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing fatigue, low energy, decreased muscle mass, mood changes, or reduced motivation that you suspect may be related to aging or hormone imbalances. It helps identify hormonal shifts, thyroid issues, metabolic changes, and cardiovascular risk factors that commonly affect men as they age. Many men use this test to establish a baseline for their vitality markers or to pinpoint specific issues impacting their overall well-being and performance.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your hormone levels, thyroid function, metabolic health, and cardiovascular markers mean for your energy, vitality, and overall wellness. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, dietary adjustments, or whether you should consider hormone optimization therapy. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your biomarker levels over time using our trends feature to see how your interventions are working and monitor your anti-aging progress.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, Estradiol (Ultrasensitive), IGF-1, PSA (Prostate-Specific Antigen), TSH, Total T4, T3 Uptake, Free T4 Index, Complete Blood Count (CBC with differential), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP including glucose, kidney and liver function, electrolytes, and eGFR), and Lipid Panel (total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and ratios). This comprehensive panel evaluates your hormonal balance through testosterone and estradiol levels, which directly impact energy, mood, muscle mass, and sexual function. It checks thyroid function to identify causes of unexplained weight changes and fatigue, monitors prostate health through PSA screening, and measures IGF-1 for growth hormone activity related to aging. The panel also assesses cardiovascular and metabolic markers including lipids, blood sugar, kidney and liver function, and complete blood counts to provide a complete picture of factors affecting your vitality, performance, and overall health as you age.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or drinks except water during that time. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for at least 24 hours before testing, as this can artificially elevate results. For the most accurate testosterone and PSA readings, avoid ejaculation for 24 hours before the test. Plan your appointment for the morning if possible, as hormone levels can fluctuate throughout the day.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be available within 10 business days after your blood sample is collected. Some specialized tests in this panel use advanced methods like liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS), which provides highly accurate results but may take a bit longer to process. If any confirmation testing is required for unusual findings, the turnaround time may be extended slightly to ensure accuracy.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for men over 35 who want to proactively monitor their health and aging process, or for any man experiencing symptoms like persistent fatigue, decreased libido, difficulty building or maintaining muscle, weight gain, mood changes, or reduced mental clarity. It's also valuable for men interested in optimizing their performance, those with a family history of heart disease or prostate issues, or anyone wanting a comprehensive baseline assessment of their hormonal and metabolic health.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs that you may benefit from this test include persistent tiredness or low energy despite adequate sleep, difficulty losing weight or unexplained weight gain, reduced sex drive or erectile difficulties, loss of muscle mass or strength, brain fog or poor concentration, increased irritability or mood swings, and feeling less motivated or driven than usual. Physical symptoms like increased body fat (especially around the midsection), thinning hair, or feeling cold frequently may also indicate hormonal or metabolic imbalances worth investigating.

How can I naturally support healthy testosterone levels?

Focus on compound strength training exercises like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses, which naturally boost testosterone production. Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep nightly, as testosterone is primarily produced during deep sleep phases. Include zinc and magnesium-rich foods like oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, spinach, and dark chocolate in your diet. Maintain a healthy weight, manage stress through mindfulness or meditation, limit alcohol consumption, and ensure adequate vitamin D levels through sun exposure or supplementation.

What is IGF-1 and why does it matter for anti-aging?

IGF-1 (Insulin-like Growth Factor 1) is a hormone that plays a crucial role in growth, cell repair, and metabolism throughout your life. As you age, IGF-1 levels naturally decline, which can contribute to decreased muscle mass, reduced bone density, slower recovery from exercise, and increased body fat. Monitoring IGF-1 helps assess your body's regenerative capacity and can guide interventions to maintain youthful vitality, though both very high and very low levels can be problematic.

What does low testosterone mean?

Low testosterone means your body isn't producing enough of this essential male hormone, which can affect multiple aspects of your health and quality of life. Common effects include decreased energy and motivation, reduced muscle mass and strength, increased body fat (especially around the belly), lower sex drive and erectile difficulties, mood changes like irritability or depression, and decreased mental clarity. Low testosterone can result from natural aging, stress, poor sleep, certain medications, obesity, or underlying health conditions.

How often should I retest these biomarkers?

If you're just establishing a baseline or have normal results, retesting annually is typically sufficient to track age-related changes. If you're making lifestyle interventions or have borderline results, consider retesting every 3-6 months to monitor improvements. Men on hormone optimization therapy should test every 8-12 weeks initially until levels stabilize, then every 6 months for ongoing monitoring. If you have specific health concerns or abnormal findings, your healthcare provider may recommend more frequent testing to closely track changes.
