What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, unexplained weight changes, decreased muscle mass, or low libido. It helps identify hormone imbalances affecting testosterone, thyroid function, and stress levels that may be impacting your vitality and overall well-being. Many men use this test when they suspect hormonal issues are behind their symptoms but want concrete answers before considering treatment.

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 therapy or follow up with a specialist. 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, Free Testosterone, Estradiol, TSH, Free T4 Index, T3 Uptake, T4, PSA, Cortisol, Hemoglobin A1C, Vitamin D, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (including liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes, glucose), Lipid Panel (Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides), and C-Reactive Protein. This comprehensive panel evaluates your hormonal balance through testosterone and estradiol levels, which directly impact energy, mood, libido, and muscle mass. It checks thyroid function to identify causes of unexplained weight changes and fatigue, monitors prostate health through PSA, assesses stress hormones like cortisol, and evaluates metabolic markers including blood sugar, cholesterol, liver and kidney function, and vitamin D levels.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, which means no food or beverages except water during that time. Avoid ejaculation for 24 hours before the test for accurate PSA results. If you use testosterone cream, make sure you haven't applied any to the inner elbow area of your arm for at least 24 hours, as it can affect results. Results typically take about 10 business days.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically available within 10 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed for specific biomarkers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly. 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 fatigue, low energy, decreased libido, difficulty building or maintaining muscle, unexplained weight gain, or mood changes. It's also valuable for men over 35 wanting to establish baseline hormone levels, those with a family history of thyroid or prostate issues, or anyone considering hormone optimization. Men already on testosterone replacement therapy can use this to monitor their levels and overall health markers.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include persistent fatigue even after adequate sleep, decreased motivation or drive, reduced libido or sexual performance issues, difficulty gaining muscle or increased body fat, mood swings or irritability, brain fog, and unexplained weight changes. You might also notice feeling cold frequently, hair thinning, or reduced exercise recovery. These symptoms can indicate hormone imbalances affecting testosterone, thyroid, or stress hormones.

How can I naturally support healthy testosterone levels?

Focus on strength training and resistance exercises at least 3-4 times per week, as this naturally boosts testosterone production. Prioritize 7-8 hours of quality sleep and manage stress through meditation or relaxation techniques. Include zinc and magnesium-rich foods like oysters, beef, pumpkin seeds, and spinach in your diet, maintain a healthy body weight, and limit alcohol consumption. Regular exercise, proper nutrition, and stress management work together to optimize natural hormone production.

What is free testosterone and why does it matter?

Free testosterone is the active, unbound form of testosterone that's available for your body to use immediately. While total testosterone measures all testosterone in your blood, free testosterone represents the portion that actually impacts your energy, muscle growth, libido, and mood. Many men can have normal total testosterone but low free testosterone, which explains why they still experience symptoms like fatigue and low sex drive.

What does high estradiol mean for men?

Elevated estradiol in men can occur when excess testosterone converts to estrogen, often related to body fat levels or hormonal imbalance. High estradiol can cause symptoms like increased body fat (especially around the chest and hips), water retention, mood swings, reduced libido, and difficulty building muscle. This is important to monitor because balancing the testosterone-to-estrogen ratio is crucial for optimal male health and vitality.
