What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, low energy, difficulty managing stress, weight changes, mood swings, or decreased motivation. It evaluates five key hormones that control your energy levels, stress response, metabolism, and overall vitality. Many people use this test when they suspect hormonal imbalances are affecting their daily performance and quality of life but want concrete answers about what's really going on.

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, stress response, mood, and overall vitality. These notes include personalized recommendations like lifestyle changes, supplement suggestions, stress management techniques, 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 (MS), Free Testosterone, Bioavailable Testosterone, Albumin, Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), Total Estrogen, DHEA (unconjugated), Morning Cortisol, TSH, Free T4 Index, Total T4 (Thyroxine), and T3 Uptake. This comprehensive panel evaluates your complete hormonal balance through testosterone (total, free, and bioavailable) which impacts energy, muscle mass, and mood, plus estrogen levels that affect weight and emotional well-being. It checks thyroid function with TSH and T4 to identify causes of fatigue and metabolism issues, measures DHEA for stress resilience and aging, and assesses morning cortisol to understand your stress response. Together, these five hormone markers provide a complete picture of what's affecting your vitality, energy, and overall health.

How should I prepare for this test?

You should fast for 12 hours before your blood draw, drinking only water during this time. Schedule your appointment between 7 AM and 9 AM for accurate hormone measurements, as levels naturally fluctuate throughout the day. If you use testosterone cream, avoid applying it to the inner elbow area for 24 hours before testing, and note that prednisone or prednisolone medications may affect cortisol results.

When will I get my results?

You can expect your results within 7 business days after your blood sample is collected. If any confirmatory testing is needed for accuracy, the turnaround time may be slightly extended. 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 anyone experiencing persistent fatigue, low motivation, difficulty recovering from workouts, or feeling like their energy isn't what it used to be. It's also valuable for people dealing with chronic stress, unexplained weight changes, sleep issues, or those wanting to optimize their vitality and performance. Both men and women in their 30s and beyond often use this panel to understand age-related hormonal shifts.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common signs include constant tiredness even after adequate sleep, difficulty handling stress, brain fog or poor concentration, decreased muscle mass or strength, stubborn weight gain, low libido, mood swings, or feeling burnt out. Physical symptoms like feeling cold frequently, hair thinning, or slow recovery from exercise can also indicate hormone imbalances worth investigating.

How can I naturally support my hormone balance?

Prioritize 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night, as this is when your body produces and regulates most hormones. Include regular strength training and moderate cardio exercise, which naturally supports testosterone, DHEA, and thyroid function. Manage stress through meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises to keep cortisol in check, and eat a balanced diet rich in healthy fats, lean proteins, and plenty of vegetables to provide the building blocks your body needs for hormone production.

What is cortisol and why does it matter?

Cortisol is your body's main stress hormone, produced by your adrenal glands to help you respond to challenges and wake up in the morning. While essential for survival, chronically high cortisol from ongoing stress can drain your energy, disrupt sleep, increase belly fat, weaken immunity, and interfere with other hormones like testosterone and thyroid. Measuring morning cortisol helps identify if stress is taking a toll on your body.

How often should I retest my hormone levels?

If you're making lifestyle changes or starting supplements to improve your hormones, retesting in 3-6 months helps you see if your interventions are working. For those on hormone therapy or medication, your healthcare provider may recommend testing every 3-4 months initially, then every 6-12 months once levels stabilize. If your initial results are normal but symptoms persist, consider retesting in 6 months as hormones naturally fluctuate over time.
