What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing low energy, difficulty building muscle, decreased motivation, or reduced libido and suspect hormonal issues might be the cause. It's designed for men considering testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) or already on TRT who want to monitor their hormone levels, liver and kidney function, and overall health markers. Many men use this comprehensive panel to get a complete baseline before starting treatment or to ensure their therapy is working safely and effectively.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining what your testosterone, estradiol, thyroid, and other hormone levels mean for your energy, muscle mass, mood, and overall vitality. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle adjustments, supplement suggestions, or whether you should consider starting or adjusting hormone therapy with your doctor. You'll also get the standard lab report and can track your hormone levels over time using our trends feature to see how your TRT or interventions are working.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Total Testosterone (LC/MS/MS), Free Testosterone, Estradiol, SHBG, Prolactin, LH, FSH, TSH, Total T3, Total T4, Free T4 Index, Cortisol, PSA, Complete Blood Count (CBC), Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14 with eGFR), and Lipid Panel. This comprehensive panel evaluates your complete hormone profile including total and free testosterone, estradiol, and SHBG, which directly impact energy, mood, muscle mass, and libido. It checks thyroid function (TSH, T3, T4) to identify causes of fatigue and metabolism issues, monitors prostate health through PSA, and measures reproductive hormones (LH, FSH, prolactin) that affect fertility and sexual function. The panel also includes metabolic markers (liver, kidney, glucose, cholesterol) and a complete blood count to ensure your overall health and safety during hormone therapy.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12-14 hours before your blood draw, consuming only water during this time. Avoid applying testosterone cream to your inner arm area for at least 24 hours before testing, as it can elevate results. Refrain from ejaculation for 24 hours before the test for accurate results. If you're taking high-dose biotin supplements, stop them at least 72 hours prior to testing as they can interfere with some results.

When will I get my results?

Your results will typically be available within 7 business days after your sample is collected. If any confirmation testing is needed for specific biomarkers, the turnaround time may be extended slightly, but you'll be notified if this occurs.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is ideal for men experiencing symptoms of low testosterone like fatigue, difficulty building muscle, low libido, or mood changes. It's particularly valuable for men considering starting TRT, those already on hormone therapy who need monitoring, or anyone wanting a comprehensive hormone and health baseline. Men over 35, athletes tracking performance, or those with a family history of hormone issues should also consider this panel.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include persistent fatigue or low energy despite adequate sleep, difficulty building or maintaining muscle mass, reduced sex drive or erectile issues, and mood changes like irritability or feeling down. You might also notice brain fog, decreased motivation, unexplained weight gain, or poor workout recovery. These symptoms can indicate hormonal imbalances that this comprehensive panel can help identify.

How can I naturally support healthy testosterone levels?

Focus on compound strength training exercises like squats and deadlifts 3-4 times weekly, as resistance training naturally boosts testosterone. Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night and manage stress through meditation or relaxation techniques. Eat adequate protein, healthy fats from sources like avocados and nuts, and include zinc and magnesium-rich foods like oysters, beef, and leafy greens. 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 hormone that regulates energy, muscle mass, bone density, sex drive, and mood. It can be caused by aging, obesity, chronic stress, lack of sleep, certain medications, or underlying health conditions. Low testosterone often explains why you might feel constantly tired, struggle to build muscle, have reduced libido, or experience mood changes, and may benefit from lifestyle changes or medical treatment.

What does high estradiol in men indicate?

High estradiol in men can occur when excess testosterone converts to estrogen, often due to high body fat, stress, or aging. Elevated estradiol may cause symptoms like decreased libido, erectile dysfunction, gynecomastia (breast tissue development), water retention, and emotional changes. This is particularly important to monitor during TRT, as testosterone supplementation can sometimes elevate estradiol levels requiring adjustment of your treatment protocol.
