Cortisol

Insights Insights

Your cortisol levels are normal. Research shows that cortisol is a hormone that's released in response to stress and regulates blood pressure, blood sugar levels, and the immune system. High cortisol levels can indicate chronic stress, while low levels can be caused by conditions such as Addison's disease. It's recommended that you discuss any concerns about your cortisol levels with your healthcare provider.

Note: Reference Range: For 8 a.m.(7-9 a.m.) Specimen: 4.0-22.0 Reference Range: For 4 p.m.(3-5 p.m.) Specimen: 3.0-17.0 * Please interpret above results accordingly *

Estradiol

Insights Insights

Your blood test results indicate that your estradiol levels are high. Estradiol is a form of estrogen, which plays a crucial role in various bodily functions. While it's normal for estrogen levels to fluctuate, persistently high levels may have implications for your health. Research shows that elevated estradiol levels can be associated with a range of symptoms and conditions. These can include mood swings, breast tenderness, weight gain, and even an increased risk for certain types of cancers. It's recommended that you discuss these results with your healthcare provider, who can provide further guidance and determine the most appropriate course of action. They may suggest additional tests or evaluations to better understand the underlying cause of the elevated estradiol levels. They can also discuss potential treatment options if necessary. Please note that in some cases, high estradiol levels may be a result of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), which are often used to address hormonal imbalances. If you are currently undergoing either of these therapies, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider to ensure that your treatment plan is appropriately balanced. Remember, your healthcare provider has access to your complete medical history and can provide personalized advice based on your specific situation.

Note: Reference range established on post-pubertal patient population. No pre-pubertal reference range established using this assay. For any patients for whom low Estradiol levels are anticipated (e.g. males, pre-pubertal children and hypogonadal/post-menopausal females), the Quest Diagnostics Nichols Institute Estradiol, Ultrasensitive, LCMSMS assay is recommended (order code 30289). Please note: patients being treated with the drug fulvestrant (Faslodex(R)) have demonstrated significant interference in immunoassay methods for estradiol measurement. The cross reactivity could lead to falsely elevated estradiol test results leading to an inappropriate clinical assessment of estrogen status. Quest Diagnostics order code 30289-Estradiol, Ultrasensitive LC/MS/MS demonstrates negligible cross reactivity with fulvestrant.

Prolactin

Insights Insights

Your prolactin level is within the normal range. This is a positive finding, as it indicates that your body is producing an appropriate amount of prolactin. Prolactin plays a crucial role in various functions, including the production of breast milk in women. Research shows that a normal prolactin level is important for fertility, as high levels can interfere with the normal release of certain hormones involved in the reproductive process. However, given that your prolactin level is normal, there is no need to be concerned about any potential impact on your fertility at this time. It's recommended that you continue to monitor your hormone levels regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you have any specific concerns or symptoms related to your reproductive health. They will be able to provide you with personalized guidance based on your individual circumstances.

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin

Insights Insights

Your sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) test results are normal. SHBG is a protein produced by the liver that binds to sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen, in the bloodstream. It plays a crucial role in regulating the availability of these hormones in your body. Having a normal SHBG level indicates that your liver is producing an appropriate amount of this protein, and your sex hormone levels are well-balanced. This is an important factor in maintaining optimal reproductive and overall health. It's great to see that your SHBG results are within the normal range. If you have any concerns about your hormone levels or symptoms you may be experiencing, it's always a good idea to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They can provide further guidance and take into account your specific medical history and individual needs.

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Insights Insights

Most of your values are within the normal range. This is a positive outcome, indicating that your overall metabolism and organ function are functioning well. However, there are a couple of findings that are worth discussing. Your Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine levels are high. Although they are only slightly elevated, it's important to monitor them closely. High BUN and Creatinine levels may suggest reduced kidney function or dehydration. I recommend discussing these results with your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate management plan. It's worth noting that your EGFR, which is a measure of kidney function, is within the normal range. This is reassuring and suggests that your kidneys are still able to filter waste products effectively. Overall, it's important to remember that blood test results need to be interpreted in the context of your overall health and medical history. Your healthcare provider will be able to provide a more comprehensive analysis and guide you further based on these results.

PSA

Insights Insights

Your PSA, Total is within the normal range for your age and sex group. It's important to note that a single PSA test is not enough to diagnose prostate cancer, and further testing may be necessary if you have any symptoms or risk factors. It's recommended that you speak with your healthcare provider about regular prostate cancer screenings.

Lipid Panel

Insights Insights

I am pleased to inform you that your lipid panel is within the normal range. Your HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-cholesterol, CHOL/HDLC ratio, non HDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol are all normal. This is great news as it indicates that your cholesterol levels are within a healthy range for your age and sex group. Research shows that maintaining healthy cholesterol levels is important for overall cardiovascular health. High levels of cholesterol, especially LDL-cholesterol, can increase your risk of heart disease. On the other hand, low levels of HDL cholesterol, often referred to as "good" cholesterol, can also be a risk factor for heart disease. Therefore, it's recommended that you continue to focus on lifestyle factors that support healthy cholesterol levels, such as following a balanced diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking. Keep in mind that while your lipid panel results are normal, it's important to consider other factors that may contribute to your overall health. If you have any concerns or questions, I encourage you to discuss them with your healthcare provider. They will be able to provide you with personalized guidance and address any specific concerns you may have. Overall, congratulations on your healthy lipid panel results! By maintaining a healthy lifestyle, you are taking important steps towards promoting your cardiovascular well-being.

FSH

Insights Insights

It appears that your FSH level is low. FSH, or follicle-stimulating hormone, plays a crucial role in the reproductive system, specifically in the regulation of sperm production in men. A low FSH level may indicate various conditions or factors, such as a problem with the pituitary gland, hypothalamus, or testicles. It is important to evaluate these results in the context of your overall health and medical history. Research shows that low FSH levels can be associated with hormonal imbalances, testicular dysfunction, or certain medications. To further understand the implications of your low FSH level, additional testing and a thorough medical evaluation may be necessary. It's recommended that you discuss these results with your healthcare provider who can provide further guidance and interpretation based on your specific situation.

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.

How should I prepare for this test?

Fasting: 12-14 hours
No biotin: 72 hours
No ejaculation: 24 hours

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.

What's included in this test?

Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Cortisol, Total Estradiol FSH PSA, Total LH Prolactin T3, Total TSH

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.

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.
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.
