What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, fatigue, mood changes, decreased muscle mass, or reduced libido. It helps identify hormonal imbalances affecting your vitality, performance, and overall well-being by checking testosterone and other key hormones. Many men use this test when they suspect hormonal issues are behind their symptoms but want concrete answers.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12 hours
No biotin: 72 hours

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw. Since testosterone levels change throughout the day, it's recommended to collect two morning specimens between 8:00-10:00 a.m. on different days for the most accurate results. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before testing, and stop taking high-dose biotin supplements at least 72 hours prior to avoid test interference.

What's included in this test?

Estradiol FSH LH Testosterone, Total, Males (Adult), Ia

This comprehensive panel evaluates your hormonal balance through testosterone, FSH, LH, and estradiol levels, which directly impact energy, mood, muscle mass, and sexual function. It includes a Complete Blood Count to assess overall health and detect conditions like anemia that cause fatigue, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Profile to evaluate kidney function, liver health, electrolyte balance, and blood sugar. Together, these measurements provide a complete picture of factors affecting your vitality, performance, and overall 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, or whether you should consider hormone 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.
When will I get my results?
Most results are typically available within 1-3 business days after your sample reaches the lab. This panel uses a fast-turnaround immunoassay testosterone test designed specifically for men, which provides results more quickly than other testosterone testing methods. 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 perfect for men experiencing unexplained fatigue, low energy, mood changes, decreased muscle mass, or reduced sex drive. It's also valuable for men over 30 who want to establish baseline hormone levels, athletes monitoring their performance and recovery, or anyone concerned about testosterone levels. If you're considering hormone optimization or just want to understand what's affecting your vitality, this test provides essential insights.
What symptoms indicate I may need this test?
Common symptoms include persistent fatigue or low energy that doesn't improve with rest, decreased motivation or drive, difficulty building or maintaining muscle mass despite exercise, reduced libido or sexual performance issues, mood changes like irritability or feeling down, and trouble concentrating. You might also experience increased body fat, especially around the midsection, or notice you're not recovering well from workouts.
How can I naturally support my testosterone levels?
Focus on resistance training and heavy compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, which naturally boost testosterone. Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep, as testosterone is primarily produced during sleep, and manage stress through meditation or relaxation techniques. Include zinc and magnesium-rich foods like oysters, red meat, pumpkin seeds, and spinach, maintain a healthy weight, and limit alcohol consumption.
What does low testosterone mean?
Low testosterone means your body isn't producing enough of this key hormone that regulates energy, muscle mass, bone density, mood, and sexual function. While testosterone naturally declines with age, unusually low levels can cause fatigue, reduced muscle mass, increased body fat, low libido, mood changes, and decreased motivation. It can result from aging, obesity, chronic stress, poor sleep, certain medications, or underlying health conditions affecting the testicles or pituitary gland.
How often should I retest my hormone levels?
If you're experiencing symptoms or have low testosterone, retest every 3-6 months to monitor trends and evaluate whether lifestyle changes are working. If you start hormone therapy or make significant diet and exercise changes, your doctor may recommend retesting after 6-8 weeks to assess response. For general health monitoring without symptoms, annual testing is typically sufficient to track age-related changes and catch issues early.

What this means

Your testosterone levels are slightly below the optimal range. While this is not necessarily cause for concern, it may contribute to occasional fatigue, reduced motivation, lower muscle mass, or decreased libido 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.
